▶︎Free Video Lesson: 8 Ways to Avoid Overworking Your Painting www.learntopaintwatercolor.co...
Skies are mesmerizing. As you know, they are one of my favorite subjects to paint.
This week I want to share with you a favorite practice exercise of mine that allows me to experiment with different effects in my skies and clouds. In fact, if I can't think of anything else to paint - or if I only have a few minutes - this is often what I do. It gets me thinking about the dynamics of clouds and skies, and it also gives me the chance to practice the wet into wet technique.
The more that you do these things, the easier they're going to become for you.
Repetition is key, and having exercises to return to can really push you forward in your painting practice.

Great video! You’re an excellent instructor. I love your loose style. Is that Escoda mop your “go to” brush?

Thank you! Yes, I like that brush a lot.
Can you list your paper and brushes? I am particularly curious about the brush. What brand of paper? Thanks. Never mind I see you already answered in another comment. Thanks
Your site is not opening. But video is like the light of a distant star. Thanks a lot!!!
My biggest mistake with skies in watercolor is that I am afraid to put a good amount of blue so the white clouds shine and I understood that after definitely not from the first try
Thank you, Matthew, for all your concise, helpful instructions! Can you tell me what green you were adding to the blue sky color?

I think it was cerulean blue
What size is your escoda mop here? It seems like a perfect size...

When you are placing your blues around the white paper and warm rose combination, what are you looking for? Are looking to make the rose the middle of the cloud. What is the specific reason you are putting the blue where you are? Is this a question that can be answered even? Thank you! Every artist says to paint around your clouds. I understand negative painting but not in respect to colors already on the paper that are part of the clouds/sky.
Beautiful! What paper do you use?

My paper dries if I take too long mixing the second color. What kind of paper do you use?
