THIS IS THE BEST TUTORIAL ABOUT CLOUDS, I HAVE EVER SEEN, THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH

THANK GOD !!! A painter that is simple, direct and walks you through it in such a manner that is totally understandble! After watching so many other tutorials on acrylics and especially "clouds" ... I got it with this guy! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are a jewel !

I am a beginning painter. Tim's technique he shows here has let me paint the most satisfying clouds since I've started. I have searched the web, books and everything I could think of. But this lesson here has been the best for me. Thank you Tim so much for this. I'm really enjoying clouds now. I took up painting for stress relief. Now painting has given me some stress! But this has taken a lot of the stress out of it. What really nice clouds you can paint with this.

I've painted for 10 years, and in this 10 years, I always have trouble with clouds. Really appreciate this!

Tim brother I use too pain till I was 15 , 16 years of age and I quit because I got busy with life ,now I m 41 I just saw couple of your videos. And inspired me to paint back again. I thank you from heart. I learn so much from your videos. Keep up the good work buddy. Lots of blessings.

One of the best cloud painting tutorials out there. Your clouds are so authentic looking....like you can see the vapour they are made from...excellent! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much. You're an amazing teacher.I can't tell you how many videos I've watched trying to learn to paint realistic clouds, and yours was the only one that made any sense. Your step by step instructions were extremely helpful.

Best tutorial about clouds, you made it so simple but yet with quality

40 seconds in and it's a better cloud than I can paint in an hour -_-

Omg! Where has this been all of my life??

This is the best cloud lesson I've seen so far. You really made it seem so simple. I'm going to try it while I play the video again to see if I can get my clouds to at least be a simulation of yours!.

The best I've seen. Straight forward, but realy effective. Thanks.

I love this Tim! I always learn so much from you. Thanks for the AMAZING videos!!

Wow man, that blue is perfect. PERFECT.

This is brilliant! I just haven’t been able to paint clouds. Please could you tell me what brush you used? Thank you 😊 Sharon x

Thank you so much you are a great teacher coz i finally got my drawing up to standard it came out well and you also teach in a very simple but understandable manner thanks again my dear please keep doing your good work 👍

While I'm not intending to work with actual paint, this did wonders for my technique in Corel Painter. Thank you for the tutorial!

I have a feeling this isnt as easy as he makes it look....

Thanks for sharing. It is really great! Good presentation and lesson for starters as well for those who struggle painting clouds.

I love your clouds! Thank you for this fabulous video!

So many people asking what brush the up loader is using takes me back to when I was learning photography (over 35 years ago eek!!) and everyone needed to know what aperture and shutter speed the photographer used to take a picture. Now that I am getting into painting its the brush size and is the paint wet. History repeating itself!! Maybe I'll stop painting because I don't know what brush is being used or watch loads more youtube videos....or maybe I'll take a general pointer from this video and go and try different brushes and wet and dry backgrounds and discover for myself - that sounds fun. Which takes me back to my photography where I actually only improved when I got out there and started taking lots of pictures and then I didn't even care what aperture/shutter speed another photographer used...most of the time I could pretty much guess correctly by the look of the photograph.

Thank you very much for this clearly explained technique, I thought it would be near impossible to paint clouds! I might have a go... : )

I'm fairly new to painting, struggling to get realistic looking clouds. Yours are the best I've seen, as far as realistic looking, thanks!

Thanks! I wasn't so sure on the painting of clouds. I'm a drawer, if you know what I mean.. I specialise in pencil drawings and now I'm trying out acrylic in different ways and this really, really has helped me! :)

EXCELLENT tutorial!!!! thank you for sharing this!!!

I love all of your videos! They are such a great help!

Why the hell would 12 people dislike this video? Your video was very helpful; thank you!

good stuff, that's the brush i need! so glad i like acrylics, they really are fun and very apartment safe. no more fumes!!

Excellent demo! You have always painted great skies! Love your works...FIVE STARS

It works the first time I try. Thank you!

I just painted my first cloud. It is far from where your cloud is but I am happy that I had the courage to start in the first place. I enjoy the way you teach, perfect for the beginner. I also would like to know your brush size? Thank you.

Thanks Tim, your simple clear information helped on my first real nice cloud. Was having trouble making good ones. Now making better ones. THANKS DONNA

In art I’m doing a nice ocean scene with some clouds, I’m thinking about adding a shark fin, but idk. This video helped me. Thank you!

Thank you for this lesson. It was very helpful. I can't get out to art lessons so these videos are very much welcomed.

can you show which type of brush you used , I think many time the type of brush is also important.

This is an AMAZING cloud, waaaw, look at it!

This is the best cloud tutorial thanks so much I always have a hard time painting them. So going to do it this way now.

i was right in the middle of a painting when i got stuck! this video was just the thing i needed to finish my scene, thanx!!!!!!

wow something that looks so good is just so simple to paint.

Totally amazing! It seems so easy. I'm going to try my first painting. I wonder what the result is gonna be. So far I only did pencil drawing :)

this was just the right thing i was looking for. i cant thank you enough. you are awsomeeeeeeeeeeeee

this video was WAY more helpful then my actual art teacher. thanks

HI, Can you verify what you mean by liquid white? I cant find it here in the UK, and I'm wondering if it is something like Gesso... Thanks for all the vids, great help...

Tim it would be nice if you replied to some of the comments sent to you, I would be very much interested to the question from Christopher Gilbert - what brush?, wet etc.. looking forward to your reply

Thanks for explaining so well.I learned a lot from your painting .

Thank you for teaching us. You are very good.

I am working on improving my clouds and this tutorial has immediately helped!!...Thank you for your time...Jane

You are the King of the clouds!

I really like your clouds. I plan on signing up for your class. I'm new to acrylics and am wondering what brush you're using, a bristle type? And do you have extender in your paint?

TY for such a great tutorial. I am just relearning to paint again. My problem, I believe, is when and how much water to add to the brush or acrylic paints on the pallet. I think using round tip brushes would be a good choice - is that so? Thanks again !

thank you so much for this video. you are a good teacher and a great artist!!! thank you.

I agree: this is the best tutorial about clouds! Please, can you show me also how to make the sun behind a cloud? from the right side? with sunrays? I would be very grateful!

Hi Tim, thank you for this, can I ask is the background dry before paint the cloud?

I really really love this Tim thanks a lot for you videos

hermoso proyecto, el cielo las nubes, saludos de Antofagasta, Chile

I have just been AMAZED o_o

sir, i just to ask, should i add a little amount of water to my acrylic paint? thanks... i like the way you paint the clouds :) thanks for this video..

That is an extremely helpful tutorial on painting clouds. Thank you. What brush did you use?

Amazing Cloud !!!..I need to try harder

Wow...that's incredible.

This is a wonderful video. However, I can’t make out what kind of brush you are using.

Very good 👍example. What brush are you using

What brush did you use? Great tutorial!

Hey... Thanks for the video clip. It really helped me, a newbie in painting; in fact, i'm still deciding which to pick up, acrylic or oil painting. Cheers…

Still i find this video and your work amazing and i am very glad to get to learn these techniques

What paint are you using? Do you have any acrylic paint lessons and how much? Do we go to your website 🤔

What kind of liquid white do you use here? Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question but I see a lot of different ones at the stores and don't know what each is for. Also, do you have to use liquid white for these clouds? Titanium white wouldn't work?

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thats just AMAZING! now i'm gonna try.... I hope what i do looks like a cloud too...

Great.i hope it will solve my mom's painting.thank you for showing the how to paint a cloud.

this video was helpful compared to others on youtube on this subject. Thanks.

In the beginning did you use circular motion or just painted? Also, what type of white did you use?

Hi Tim..thanks for the tip. I may actually get a decent cloud out of this. Does the same technique work with oils? Thanks again...Michael.

you are a master of clouds

What kind of brush did he use? A rounded end one? Made from synthetic bristles? I have an art project due in a few days and it involves clouds.. Oh. And does the brush had to be damp before painting on the clouds on canvas??

Ok everyone, it turns out I had bought a cloud painting tutorial from Tim like five years ago, and forgot about it. I'm re-watching it now. It's not this exact video, but it's similar. So here's the deal: he uses hog bristle brushes, usually filberts or rounds, and he does use a mister bottle to keep the paint a little more workable, with four or five drops of a slow-dry medium in the water bottle.

Simple technique and yet effective illustration.

And as far as this artist not answering everyone's questions....maybe he's too busy making artwork to be on youtube every five minutes. If that's the case,I applaud him!

hey man. liquid white is a liquid mostly used on oil paintings it lets you blend the colers together more easy it is vary hard to find in denmark to. trust me! but liquid white was used and develloped by bob ross and you can get it on his webside. :) hope it was helpfull

Did you do the clouds on dry sky and the is it just white paint or mixed with something?

Great video ! very helpful ! Does this technique works also with oil colors ? Thanks :)

thats really good, what kind of brush are you using?
