#45 How To Paint a Clouds | Oil Painting Tutorial

at the beginning and we shall work our way on to the end. Right that's surprisingly sticky let's use a bit of I wasn't going to use any medium any liquid but I think I will just on that white there because it's it's an old old tube it's partially dried. Right the pigment in that is just beautiful it's really strong and even with liquid it's covering that really well let's put a bit in there it's a really pure blue that is lovely lovely lovely lovely and that as well I mean that is it's really quite quite strong I mean the only reason I don't use these as I've said probably a million times normally is because of the drying time there's usually people waiting for pictures and it's a case of having to get stuff out there as quickly as you can and if I used used this paint it would take a little bit longer to get it varnished and get it out and also you do sometimes need to have a bit of a dry and dry layer to work on especially if you want to do glazing so but it certainly is a superior paint there's no doubt about that it's hard to say desperate cause this anyway do this mean we'll go to war looking for but I'd like to know that soon you know I'm not being that careful really about where I'm putting the colours at the moment but we're just gonna you know not don't try and do too much too soon let's just you know get get that oil on there and then we can we can mess around with it afterwards it doesn't need to look it doesn't need to look perfect straight away let's just build up to where we want to be with it there's quite a lot of acrylic still showing and I really want to cover all of that I don't want any of that acrylic showing I want to make sure that it's got a nice coat of oil over the top doesn't need to look exactly the same as that photograph so I don't want to go too overboard and I want a fair amount of that nice blue shining through at the top here but I would say we're pretty much on the right path here it's looking good looking good my friend looking good talking rubbish my friend talking rubbish okay okay okay okay a few more highlights in this area here and then we'll go with another this with this artist's oil colour than it is with the griffin not that it's you know super difficult with the griffin but it does dry a little bit too quickly because I wouldn't be probably I'd struggle to be blending now if I was using the griffin the alkyd based paint it certainly has its benefits but I mean look even here I'm able to continue just sort of blending in and it's lovely and it's lovely and blendable shall we say move up the top of the picture here just trying to fill in all these little bits so that we can get a really nice blend in there and I am going to introduce just a little bit more sort of just hints of this sky coming in just into this area what you don't want is for it to look too solid another blend if that's not enough which is probably not quite enough of a blend I'll go over it with a smaller brush and I'll just blend around each each blue patch get it nice and soft although you know how soft does it really need to be that's what we're looking at okay let's move over to this area here now there's a obviously you can see this darker area here but it's quite a bright area beside it so let's let's put that in first um let's have a look it's not quite that blue it's even got a touch of brown just to warm it up like to know that soon and this time full moon is to know fireworks and even the smallest show sometimes you wanna raise your walls to a high point you don't have to tell me anymore but i'd like to know that soon and it's time oh so come on and hide your sorrow feed your soul let it be the hardest thing to find and set your conscience far away give love for me a chance let the beating of your heart lead into mine let it be the hardest thing to find and set your conscience far away so that's looking fairly rough as it is but once we give it a bit of a blend give love me a chance let the beating of your heart lead into mine i think i might break that up actually that dark area there put in a bit more just a little bit more light running through it doesn't look i know it's pretty much like that in the photograph it just doesn't somehow it doesn't quite work for me so let's have a look let's have a look that's a bit better already i think what i might do is just pull out make that a little bit more obviously it's a darker cloud sort of over the top bring a little bit of it in macrera is just sort of underneath okay wipe the paint off and then just give it a wild call a scumble right i'm sort of fairly pleased with that i'm going to give those brushes a clean now i'm going to get the rest of it done i may well come back to the sky but i'm fairly happy with that i like the fact that it's a little bit softer than the photograph and i probably won't need to do anything else to it
