Thank you so much!
the hue variety within the clouds is what gets me, its beautiful, smart and efficient considering the primer/rust wash

I love your Muse. ❤ 🐈 You are a true painting maestro. Fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing your art. 🎨🖼 I too am a realistic landscape painter my medium is chalk pastel, but have not painted anything for a few years. I have gotten out the rental life and got my own place - busy settling up my studio now, to get back into it, after all this time. Again thanks so much, I love your work.

That was great. Thanks, Layne. I was surprised you didn't show the initial blocking in of the clouds (considering the title of the video) but I think I can work out what you did (apart from the lighter tones at the horizon). I wonder how this would be done in watercolour.

Thanks Peter. I think my videographer (aka wife) was gone at the time I was painting that part. :) You can see cloud block-in in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIaIw9Oam7PKlJs.html
So happy I found your channel! I'm a portrait artist who has always ached to paint skies. Can't wait to try one based on your teaching. Also, my cat looks just like yours and is named Newt, if I heard correctly, which was my dad's name. I think it's a sign, lol. Can't wait to watch more! 🙂

Close! I have a "spar" across the top of my big easel that I can hook my big mahl sticks onto. You can see it in this video, about halfway through: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q6J1rpeqksK7erQ.html
