You are a wonderful teacher. I have not painted for 50 years…you have certainly moved me to paint again.. Did I mention I’m 89 my medium was oils. I like acrylic cause no terpentine smell.

Hello Ian, I can't thank you enough for your time and energy with a bit of candid humor that you share for those us who are just learning how to paint with acrylics! I was so totally lost trying to follow someone who was already a master painter using oils. I became very discouraged until I found your videos and have started to actually learn and enjoy what I'm learning!! Thank you again! 💕

Loved this and other videos I am no artist but love to watch thank you

Щиро дякую за допомогу.

You are the first person to get through my thick hard head and make perfect sense. At 75 and a teacher myself I can say you teach to all learning styles. Thanks so much for adding to my golden years. You have given me a reason to keep learning! Thanks Ian!

♥︎Thank you! I'm struggling with clouds. Your videos are helping so much.

Thank you so much Ian, I am truly grateful that I found this episode.

Hi Ian. My name is Lise :) and I live in Norway. I enjoy learning from you. Right now I am working on skies and clouds. Have no bigger experience with acrylics, so I guess you would call me a newbie... :) Thank you for sharing. Hope you are safe. Hugs from Norway, Lise Victoria

I am so obsessed with you! Your clouds are awesome - they look way too linear at first but then you boop-boop-swish... aaand they’re perfect 👌🏽

Excellent explanation for a beginner. Thank you.

This is my 3rd or 4th look at your different cloud tutorials. And I'm getting better and better! Thanks you Ian!!!

That's exactly what I have a problem with, too; with not being able to make the clouds coming towards me. I've got me paints waiting for me now. I just watched two of your other videos but I bumped into this one, too, about clouds; so, I'm going to watch this one, as well, before I start. Thank you so much. YAY

Excellent and thorough tutorial on how to do clouds using your techniques. Just awesome! Thank you!

Watched without picking up a brush. Replay and will paint along. Thank you so much!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am one of those beginners who is having trouble with clouds. You've answered all of my questions (so far), and I can't wait to get a retarder and give it another go. You've really bolstered my confidence level, Ian. Thank you so much!

I have followed this painting step by step and it turned out great. Thank you!

Very nice again

Yummy whipped cream topped clouds! Beautiful!🐑

I truly appreciate your technique and how you explain what you do! Thank you.

Thanks Ian, this video is exactly what I was looking for on clouds painting…you make it look so easy to do… you are a great teacher! Cheers from Atlantic Canada…Nova Scotia.

Fabulous tutorial, Ian! Adding “yumminess” is a great idea. Wonderful to learn so much by watching you explain the details. Thank you thank you for this lesson. I enjoyed it very much.

Wonderful tutorial. One of the best I’ve watched on clouds. Very thorough and easy to understand. Thank you so much

Amizing 🤩.. like it

Hi Ian, Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge on the complex problem of painting clouds. You made it clear to me of what I do wrong. Here in hot & dry AZ. at 115 degrees F. I must use special techniques. I also changed my brushes and blending techniques.Judy Tromblee

I used acrylic once found the folks to vivid after water colour so Ian you have given me the knowledge to try again thank you long may you paint

Love watching you teach. Im learning loads..thank you.

Laughed out loud at “smiple” 😂 ... And at how awesome you paint vs the way you drew the head looking at the canvas.

Once again, you did great explaining this! Such a gift you have to teach!

It'll be a perfect fit for an animated Alfred Hedgehog, Berenstain Bears cartoon, & Rupert Bear as well.

You are my angel 😇 because you care about the people ! I am really lucky !

Such a fabulous teaching video! Love your work and am grateful for your time and attention you give to all of out here in the art community!

Beautiful clouds! Thanks Ian! Will be practicing soon! Love your clouds!

Thank you for this video. I am having the hardest time making cloud in my painting and this was helpful.

Thanks for this, it's been really helpful. Am now off to study clouds......😊 but the more you showed us how retarder works, makes me realise the ratio of that is so vital too. Wow! You are a wonderful teacher, please don't stop doing this for us, so helpful. Right! Skies here I come....🏃‍♀️

What size too my brushes painting

Great vid even though you misspelled a couple of words thanks so much

Hi Ian. I love your tutorials and the fact that you love cats is the added bonus. Can you be specific on you blending brushes and sizes. I'm traveling...I live on a small island so some things I need to buy else where. I have already bought a good brush from a hardware store to put the paint on the canvas but based on this tutorial I need another brush for the blending. I would appreciate your list so I can get the right kind. Thanks a mil

What material are you blending brushes and were can you get them online?? The only flat brushes I could find in the store were darkere and I dont think that they were synthetic like the ones you mentioned...

Ian, I must say I am learning a lot watching you I am new at painting. I’m on your Facebook page but I don’t go by Kat on there I go by Flo my first name. The point is thank you, you are like having my own art teacher! Are the blending brushes like the ones from the hardware store? Thank you again!!

Where can I buy your blending brushes from please?

thanks eon very nice

What type of brushes are you using for your blending brushes? This is what I can find, but is rather pricey at $30 US: Silver Brush 1414S-2 Grand Prix Superior White. Bristle Short Handle Brush, Flat Bulletin Cutter, 2-Inch.

Hi Ian 👋🏻 Do you use a high viscosity paint for the clouds, or is it just a soft body paint please? I’m in the UK so I don’t know if the stuff that we have is different from yours. Have been practicing and things ARE improving but there’s loads of room for improvement. Thanks so much for this tutorial, I am learning a great deal from you 😊👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I look everywhere I can’t find those blending brush like yours

Hi ,sir,, what topic now. Artwork school tutorial now,?

ian i am a beginner at age 73, i have watched a lot of painters on you tube you my friend are the only one that shows what brushes to use how to use the slow drying medium or retarder all i need now is to find how you paint the palm trees, the ocean and pine trees, i for the life of me cannot paint a pine tree with a fan brush, do i need to get a hog fan brush or is synthetic just as good? thank you again oh by the way i am from southern california.

Can you use wall paint on paper for these arts?

I’m wanting to learn v clouds but I have the white retarder, not the clear. Will that work the same?

Hi Ian. I have followed all these tutorials and I am better at clouds but only with your help. I am trying to copy clouds my 6year old grandaughter took a photo of for Nanna to paint. Sorry to say it was useless. Put it in the bin. Can you help.Pamela UK 😢😢
