I’m a watercolor artist (and some qouache) but I still get a lot of useful information from your videos. I hope you continue to include “fundamental” information in your videos because it’s really applicable to almost any media.

I just got back into painting after probably years of not painting. I feel like watching your videos unlocked something and now I’m painting better than ever even after a hiatus. Thanks so much for all your excellent advice!

Same here, he's excellent teacher!

Oh, thank you, THANK YOU! Clouds are my Achille's Heel. As always, thank you for such an informative and helpful video.

This was so inspiring. I love clouds but haven’t felt sure of painting them.

Great explanations. The one on the left looks like I did it and the one on the right masterpiece material.

Brilliant video, thanks! That's really helpful 👍

Everything is explained so perfectly!

I needed this...I need to go fix the clouds I was working on yesterday.

Fantastic information I find clouds very challenging I will now go and change the values in my recently painted clouds. Also soften my edges. Cheers from Perth Western Australia

You have so many pretty spots to paint in WA. I used to work in the Pilbara. I'm back in Canada until the wife gets too homesick. Good luck on your clouds!!

I am thrilled watching this and finding I have been choosing the right things for clouds. Most from observing them alot in the sky. I use warm white and pale, pale yellow for white in the cloud and a more mid tone value for the darks. I also have used pinks in far clouds. The one thing I have been wrong about and found out today is the light source. Painting clouds and it just never really hit me about the lightest colors being from where my sun would be coming from. For some reason, unlike other subjects, this just never hit me when doing a cloud. This will be a correction I will be using from now on. Thanks!

This is so so helpful thank you! I've always struggled with clouds....

The video quality has improved so much, nice one Chris

This was a great Video it helped so much thank you

i really appreciate this video!! thank u

buenas! excelente! gracias por enseñar! lo mejor desde argentina!

Excellent info as usual. 👌

Just saw this.....it really helped.....thanks!!!

Thanks coach!

Just what I was looking for, thanks! And the last bit, as well... "Go get painting!" I'm going! ;)

Hmmmnn…. Sometimes it’s a signature of style though. I know an New Mexico artist who’s style is very close to what you say is how to not do it… BUT her work is stunning!

Right?! I think the wrong cloud looks better, more interesting and more colourful

This will help my clouds game for sure

Hey there! Love this lesson. I realize this video is a little older but I'm wondering if you could please give us a breakdown of the colours you are using?

I think painting clouds could definitely help me paint portraits. I feel like just finding the average colors and values of any certain areas of the cloud could help me do the same thing on a face. Plus, it would help me simplify the face down to individual shapes.

I'm an acilic user but your videos are so useful

Excellent!

What about the Impressionism, or some abstract style ,.I like the first cloud have more style.

Second! And thank you so very much for this lovely video! It's extremely helpful!

the reason clouds tend to be flatter on the bottom is thats the updraft base of the cloud, the cloud in the video is a convective cloud (agitated cumulus) so it brings in warm moist air through the bottom and boils up and thats why the tops are super puffy. being a storm chaser clouds are my favorite subject to paint

What are the paint colors you are using? This is a great lesson which I needed. Thank you so much!

I like the wrong cloud! What’s wrong with me? Or maybe it’s just good in it’s own way? 🤔 it’s very expressive

I came here to say the same thing! The values being off should still be fixed, but I love the big chunky, very textured blocks of color.

It’s probably because it was still painted by someone with tremendous skill despite trying to paint it “wrong”. 😉

I have to agree! It depends on if you like a more realistic quality or a painterly, impressionistic look. Both are nice. And just a side note, I certainly still love Bob Ross's technique.

Is there a way to retain the texture of a brush stroke but have it switch colors? Like say I have some swirling water maybe and I want to have the texture from a stroke move into another color is there a trick for that?

Thanks. I wish my clouds at leasy looked like the ones on left. ..

Could you please do a video on backlir\t subjects?

Does this all still apply for acrylics?

You talked about not using pure white in the highlights, but just color sampling from your photo reference, that has nearly pure white in the highlights, and definitely significantly brighter than the white tones down on the ground. (It's probably still good general advice anyway, but I found the specific values in the reference interesting to note.)

That’s why you can’t trust photos for values

Thanks

Bob Ross clouds are very nice

But, but...I much prefer the first one. The 'wrong'un' is more interesting...

Kinda hating on this one

I don't think it's a mistake. Only people that go to school, think they know everything, make dumb videos like this, Judge self-taught artists that are true artists, and make them give I on art. Nothing wrong with the cloud on the left. Remember the sky in the daytime time not always plain blue just like the night was never black or dark. They have many colors you don't see. Only a true artist Wilk knows. Using how you feel and imagination to a paint whatever you want and how you paint is how a real artist is. All of you stop making videos like this. 5:13
