In this demonstration, Peter Woolley will show how the technique of 'Stopping Out' can be used to create a complex cloudscape.
With care and practice, it's possible to vary the intensity of the area you lift out and create subtle graduations. In this way, it's possible to to blend it into the surrounding wash so that you can't see the join.

Thanks Nano

@faridfadel655 6 лет назад

I particularly like the bold use of darker grays here . We all know once watercolors dry they seem lighter than when first put down . The final effect of multiple layering is wonderful as it gives us the whole tonal range . Bravo

@ratnaroychoudhury1220 11 месяцев назад

Wow beautiful clouds .Will try .Never imagined it can look so beautiful with this techniques. Thank you for the video ❤

@markdonovan1540 2 года назад

Love this demonstration, it really shows how much depth and subtle contrast can be achieved with a more skilled approach to "lifting out clouds". This technique here enables a far more interesting skyscape painting. Thank you.

@krrinam4266 4 года назад

You are such an incredible artist and a special person. I love to watch your movies and listen to your stories and instructions. Every day you give my depressed head a spark of light. Thank you very much.

@chazzsavis6706 4 года назад

Thank you Peter ☁️... I believe this is the most effective way to produce a realistic cloud base for any watercolour painting I have ever seen. There are some armature painters on YT whom degrade those of us whom like to use tissues to lift out ( stop out) ! I love the end result, beautiful. 👏🏻

@teresashultz9345 Год назад

This is exactly what I was looking for in order to paint realistic looking clouds just as I see them out in nature. Thank you.

@rosesandpeonies6801 18 дней назад

Yesss! I just watched probably 15 different cloud videos, and this is by far my favorite. I'm so excited to try it, I can't contain myself. Thank you Peter! I'll graduate to the none stopping out technique after I master this 😀

@iammir8365 3 месяца назад

Beautiful technique! It's repetitive that it becomes second nature. I feel that you won't go wrong as you keep on building and elaborating on the clouds. This may be the answer to my frustration. Thank you for sharing your gift!

@donnadewitt7714 Год назад

Thank you so very much for this video. I struggle with clouds (beginner painter). Just happened upon your video. Your clouds are the very best, most realistic clouds and sky that I have ever seen. I hope to practice and improve.

@nancytipton2640 10 месяцев назад

Great instructional video. I have been working on a cloud study as of late and this “lifting” method I am anxious to “give it a go”. Thank you so much for sharing.😊

@ambroseavery5229 3 года назад

I don’t know why you don’t necessarily “like” the “lift-out” technique Peter, because you’ve mastered it, and those are some of the most beautiful watercolor clouds that I’ve seen! 👍🏽

@peterwoolleyartist 3 года назад

Thanks Ambrose - I still have reservations, but I think I'm warming to it (and I'm using the lift-out technque in other places too)

@ambroseavery5229 3 года назад

@@peterwoolleyartist I think clouds are made for watercolor, and in my humble opinion, the “lift-out” technique that you use should not only be utilized without reservation; you’ve proven to me that it is a “must-have,” invaluable “tool” to have in our artistic-toolbox! THANKS! Subscribed!

@mards9648 Год назад

Loved it!!

@gailgassen8670 5 лет назад

This turn out beautiful. I've tried to paint clouds in watercolor many times & used the method you showed here. Mine of course are near as beautiful as yours came out, but practice makes perfect. I sure hope so! Using 200 lb paper I realize must make a big difference, I've only used 140 lb. So now I'll try it with the 200 lb. Its very easy to destroy your paper very fast if not careful, or even if you are careful. This is the fourth video I've watched of yours & I've learned quite allot from them all, even though they weren't very long. So thanks very much for each one and the fun ideas I learned. The sheep were by far the most fun!😊
