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 RU-vid 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.paintingsk...
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

@PaintingSkies1 Год назад

That's great to hear! If you keep putting in the hours, you'll be amazed about the progress you make. After dear Alphonse passed, we decided we weren't going to get another cat. Now we have two...

@TheReNesance 4 года назад

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.

@PaintingSkies1 4 года назад

Thank you. Yes, the dry brush works great in acrylics as well. Or in tempera for that matter. The great American painter Andrew Wyeth was a master at it. Thanks for your compassion with regard to Alphonse. I'm sure he rests in peace.

@cspace1234nz 4 года назад

Whilst proficient in many art forms I have never had cause to paint clouds seriously till now and only due to a particular commission. They really are not easy but we are always learning and your video is most useful. As always, practice practice practice, I currently have a studio full of clouds ! From a professional artist of more than 40 years I thank you.

(4:11) This looks very contemporary. Maybe that's a swear word for you, but could be an interesting path to explore. The flat beach, and sea with high rising clouds. Visible contrast and I prefer this.

@PaintingSkies1 Год назад

Thanks for your comment. There is a certain beauty in the sober composition at 4:11 and it's more contemporary (not a swearword for me, by the way), I agree. But in the end I'm drawn to making a realistic painting, that's where my heart is...

Beautifully done! Thanks for sharing your process - question, seems that you’re not concerned about fat over lean? Maybe I misunderstood but when doing the clouds you didn’t have medium in that layer but previous layer did have liquin, that is lean over fat - won’t that be a problem later on? Also sorry to hear about your cat, very tough to lose a pet.

@PaintingSkies1 Год назад

@GoreTheSummoner Год назад

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...

@PaintingSkies1 Год назад

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.

@GoreTheSummoner Год назад

@@PaintingSkies1 i use oils specificly for its longer drying time, i mean, acryl dries too fast for me so i cant use it the way id like to, oils are more suitable for me. my teacher told me today that it is possible that some of the scent together with a bit of humidity settled in the back side of the canvas because i kept my works in basemant after painting was done, so it didnt have the proper airing.. i will see how it will work with my next painting with proper airing and drying, maybe it will help. or ill wait one year :) or try to add just a bit of turpentine to each of colors, but not too much. so many things to learn.. :) have a good day.

Excuse my Ignorance Maestro, what do you use for the sketch charcoal graphite ink?

@PaintingSkies1 2 года назад

I always use graphite, though back in art school I learned to use charcoal. Graphite is supposed to interact with oil paint. I must say I never noticed, but if you want to be on the safe side you should use charcoal.

Great video! Thank you. “Oh look, a beach pole” made me laugh. I’m sorry about your cat though. :(

Thanks, Racheal! Good to hear my silly remark made you laugh! We have 2 new kittens now. In my Painting Waves video trailer one of them makes a short appearance (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WjJmIixBH1g.html). Alphonse is not forgotten though.

Sir it's very much important for me . Sir please say me that what blue colour you used in this painting . Cobalt , ultramarine or what sir please reply me 😭😭😭

@PaintingSkies1 3 года назад

Hi Amal, I used a mix of King's Blue light, Scheveningen Blue (an Old Holland color) and Titanium White. The basic color is Kings Blue. You'll have to experiment to find the ratio that works for you. If you don't have acces to Scheveningen Blue, you can try a different greenish blue. Hope this helps!
