Acrylic Painting Lessons preview - Simple Clouds by Tim Gagnon www.timgagnon.com

Here is a preview of my Online Painting Lessons. You can visit www.timgagnon.com for more information and to sign up. Please email me at [e-mail] if you have any questions.
This preview shows a short demonstration on simple puffy clouds. The technique is to just use an opaque white paint and allow the background to show through in some areas to create shadows. A simple technique that can be mastered after a little practice.
Thanks for watching!

[@Officer235]

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.

[@gagnonstudio]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that!

[@StripesndSuch]

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! :)

[@lilliya2160]

This was so helpful. Thank you!!!!

[@MrTellyBelly]

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.

[@josyk2142]

Thanks that was amazing

[@bluebow68]

Great learnng curve..Thank you!

[@jeremysart]

Thanks for your videos, these are great!

[@lullaby445]

so awesome!!

[@vaniahutchins4646]

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

[@gemini1016]

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!

[@mommyoni9503]

So did you add shark fins?

[@Deadrocker81]

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!

[@scott31312]

+Lenee He sells online lessons or DVDs. Be thankful he gave free tip lesson. : )

[@nicorap74]
