Painting clouds using the dry brush technique

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Painting clouds becomes a lot easier when you use the dry brush technique. This means you don't have to thin your paint down with medium. Dutch artist Janhendrik Dolsma often applies this technique in certain stages of his paintings. He shows how in his oil painting 'Beach Pole'.
Dolsma (1950) is an expert painter of clouds, beaches, dunes and of course the ocean. On his KZread channel he shares a lifetime of painting experience in short tutorial videos with an emphasis on painting clouds. His full length tutorials (over 60 minutes) have found their way to buyers all over the world. Full tutorials can be found here: www.paintingskies.com/video/
Dolsma participated in exhibitions in the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, Taiwan, Spain, Belgium and the USA.

    Your work has truly inspired me on my own journey. I’ve only been painting about 2 years, but I can tell it’s clear to me where I want to go with my own style. We are cat people here at my house, it was very touching seeing your last goodbye clip. Thank you

    Nice tutorial on this technique, good sir.. I work with acrylics and do a similar thing scrubbing in lighter layers of highlights over the midtones and shadows, but it's neat to see you do this in oil and with your thumb. Most importantly, I'm sorry for your feline loss.. may Alphonse rest in peace.

    Thanks! I'm not an expert when it comes to acrylics, but I've been told it's possible. I wrote an article why I prefer oils on my blog: paintingcloudskies.blogspot.com/2016/08/oils-and-acrylics.html. If you find the time you could read the comment on the article of an acrylic painter (Gayle) with lots of tips to apply the glazing technique with acrylics.

  • @PaintingSkies1

    @PaintingSkies1

    4 жыл бұрын

    No, it's dry. The bottom layer somehow always shimmers through the top layers (at least it does when you're using transparant layers like I do). This helps create the feeling that the clouds are really in front of the blue sky. I sometimes paint the clouds in a wet on wet in a blue sky, mostly in my oil on paper sketches.

    I sort of use dry brush technique myself in pleners and my works where i want to express feelings/memories in one attempt, where i almost dont use turpentine or very few. Howeever what bothers me is that those paintings even after having surface dried keep the smell of paints, even after months. It is not a strong scent but when keeping few of those paintings in locked room makes it very noticable after entering the room. How does it work with your paitnings where you used dry brush technique? i mean, do the smell of the paint remains for a long time even if its dried?I sort of put the paint in impasto aswell, not everywehre but still...

    Yes, that's pretty annoying. I only use undiluted paint in a few areas in a painting, so I can't say I have met this problem.If your entire canvas is covered with impasto paint, that's a different story though. Oil paint takes a long time to dry, up to a year, so my guess is that the smell will remain that long. Maybe you should try acrylics for your impasto work. It dries really quick and doesn't smell as much as oil paint.
