Crystal, I have been watching tutorials for several months. Lately, I've been trying to learn how to paint skies. I have been quite discouraged because all videos that I've come across have been quite complex and all my clouds have been big blurry blobs. Like others have mentioned, they discovered you thanks to the algorithms. Well, so have I. I would like to extend a sincere thank you to you. I've never left comments before but I really want you to know that your explanations and tips are very appreciated. I have been painting in oils for several years but only been painting in water colour (as a hobby) for much less time. I have never thought of mixing colours on the paper!!! I had assumed (because I've only seen people mix in the tray) it "wasn't done or allowed"! You are a game changer for me!!! Thank you! I am absolutely changing my approach to colours!

I gave up on clouds! This video is so inspiring and so clear. Thank you for making it. I cannot wait to dive back into my cloud study!

Beautiful clouds rendered well and clear narrative which is very important for any demo. Loved the visuals of cloud illustrations to explain the types of clouds. Personally I would prefer using cooler colours to make the grey in the stormy clouds. Fantastic demo 👍🏻

Excellent comprehensive tutorial on clouds. One of the best I've seen. Thank you

This is one of the best tutorials I have ever watched and probably the very best on skies and clouds that I’ve seen. There are definitely some excellent tutorials available…..but you have explained everything in such a clear and understandable way which helps us to understand so much more….I.e..the ‘Whys’ and the ‘Hows’ . I noticed one of the previous comments from a few months ago also mentioned the KZread algorithms….and I agree that I would not have found you had it not been for that. Thank you so much for this absolutely brilliant and excellent video tutorial. 🥳🤗

Yay for KZread algorithms! Pulled you out for me to enjoy. Many thanks for this clear and very different approach to skies. Love your method and colour choices. I have often avoided landscapes as “ don’t muck with it” is often part of the learning and I really love to muck with things and love details so your way is speaking to me, yet it still has a beautiful not mucked with result. Can’t wait to try this. Love the science way of explaining the light and refraction and perspective too. My inner nerd is happy.

So I have tried the kleenex method before but I had used a paper towel. Even though the paper towel did give it a cloud like look, I found myself having to rework allot of the cloud formation. I’m going to try it with the kleenex method. I think that this will give the clouds more of the look I’m going for. Thank you for the tips and tricks. ❤

I watched another video earlier where the artist said to be mindful of what you are wetting before you wet the paper and why you are doing for what effect you are wanting. This is what you hit on in your video as well. I can’t wait to try all of your tips and tricks. ❤

Beautiful clouds, very well explained. Is the Pthalo blue a green or red shade?

@CrystalBesharaArtist

2 жыл бұрын

Great question! This one is by da Vinci paints and is simply “phthalo blue” but if you’re using another brand that only has red or green shade as an option, I’d go for the green shade, as it will offer more contrast to the ultramarine blue:)

@@CrystalBesharaArtist I just looked at Davinci paints. They have a Pthalo Blue red shade and a Pthalo Blue. So yours must be the green one.

I’m watching again because I painted my Poppy scene with Gouache and I couldn’t get the right California sky color. I tried Um Blue, then added Pthalo, Prussian but it’s still not right.

have you ever painted a sky with clouds on fabric? And, how? Thanks
