Cloudscape Demo - Hahnemühle Watercolor Paper

[@josephcollins6033]

4 and 1/2 years ago! THANK YOU FOR PRONOUNCING THE NAME CORRECTLY! I have been trolling reviews of this brand, and YOU are the only one I have found to pronounce it well. As always, I love your humor! Thanks very much, Steve.

[@MDCampbell]

One day, I had no need for new paper. Then, spoke the Mind of Watercolor and suddenly, I need new paper! Not a "want," of course, a "need!" LOL! As for the clouds, they can be a real stumbler for new artists, so your tutorial is a brilliant lesson, as well as a great reminder for experienced painters, as well. I might only add, for new painters, that you may not hit the mark with this the first time. Don't lose hope and just keep trying it over and over! It WILL come! I have some other techniques, which perhaps I'll share in a video at some point, but this is my favorite, by far. Thanks always, Steve! A real treat to watch and great lead on new paper! Cheers! :)

[@mindofwatercolor]

Ba hahaha! I can be a sort of unintentional Pied Piper of art supplies sometimes I guess. I promise you won't drown except maybe in awesome products. Great point on not hitting the mark the first time and trying again. Which leads to my oft repeated phrase, "embrace failure as a teacher." Give yourself permission to fail and judge a successful session more by what you learned than by what you achieved. Thanks guy!

[@josephcollins6033]

Steve, you were my first teacher, first skies, first everything, and you turned me on to Silver brushes! I have watched so many videos in the past year and a half-many, many. This is the most glorious sky I have ever seen. And, you did it with flat brushes! Thanks so much for this.

[@pilasumana4410]

I can watch and watch and watch this video endlessly before I can replicate the beautiful sky watercolor ambiance masterpiece! Thanks Paul!

[@mindofwatercolor]

Thanks! My name is Steve though. 😉

[@jamestierney7123]

Nice Cloudy sky love it !

[@annevanderwoude9319]

Thank you so much for this video I wasn’t painting for quite a while and I was scared to start but now I am encouraged and thank you for the Bible text. May the Lord bless your work. As you have blessed me with this video thank you.

[@providencevalleyfarm5270]

This is incredible. Somehow I missed this one when it came out! One of my favorite subjects when I used oil paints was stormy evening scenes. I didn't think watercolor could render or deliver as dramatic of an effect but this proves me wrong.

[@cherrysimmonds5836]

Beautiful and amazing depths achieved. Thank you 😊🍒

[@kengalts7064]

just started to paint. your a good teacher dude!!

[@mchris1020]

Beautiful clouds! Love skies.

[@deniserogers4898]

I see some beautiful cloudy sunsets here in Africa, lots of pinky golds reflecting onto the clouds. I have always loved looking at the vast skies with clouds, I will have a go at painting them now. You make it look so easy but I am sure it takes years of practice. Thank you Steve.

[@alfonsoportugal6754]

wonderful technique!! Very inspiring.

[@Slotzzzz]

Hi Mind.. your my go-to watercolor artist,you do everything great,new to watercolor and the first thing I want to do is learn sky's.. thanks for sharing all your great advice..🧠

[@karindungee4277]

Thanks for your work on these videos!

[@tarotbysemaj2424]

Another great lesson in watercolor clouds. This was brilliant to see the technique and the use of a FLAT brush to create so much movement in the clouds. What a lovely scape this is. So expansive. I love that you shared another new find in the paper world....something I will need to try down the road. In the meantime, I will continue enjoying your videos and the learning as I slowly foray into the world of watercolor. It's seems like a brilliant medium.

[@jomifohe]

Pretty watercolor, nice clouds.

[@georginakaulback6572]

Beautiful sky!

[@hannetjielaubscher223]

Love clouds. Love your video’s

[@AnimaedArte]

Love this way for painting clouds😍 Thank you for sharing 😊

[@edgarandlenoreplay]

I finally want to comment and thank you so much for your videos. My daughter and I paint together, and we love to watch and learn from you, and you inspired us to finally create our own channel, to which we finally just uploaded our first video. Thanks again, and you've got two "Minders" for life. :)

[@mindofwatercolor]

Cool, thanks for watching!

[@maryanharrell5642]

Another great video, Steve. Thanks!

[@ButterFly-cw7sj]

This is just so amazingly beautiful!!!!

[@marywalter1249]

I have always LOVED clouds. Thank you Steve for the wonderful demo. You always do such a fantastic teaching job as you paint. Not everyone can do that!

[@mindofwatercolor]

Thank you Mary!

[@marshahostetler]

Steve I want to thank you for all your wonderful videos, there was one thing you said in one of your videos about you have to paint even if you fail. I was so afraid to fail. Now I have never been trained I have been told I have natural talent so I tend to pick up allot off of videos which you are one I watch. I had an artist tell me paint what you see it has served me well now I add what you said to the list. Thank you Steve!

[@mindofwatercolor]

Yep, so important because failure is a very good teacher. Once I adopted this viewpoint, it was so liberating to my painting efforts.

[@jngc8836]

A great demo ,terrific skyscape thanks

[@barbaragemin5117]

That is an amazing sky. I might pluck up courage and paint along with you.

[@suzalasuzala1135]

nice demo. I got a Hahnemuhle watercolor book and was surprised at how much I liked it. Nice to have an alternative to Stillman and Birn to go to.

[@ArtistHabibPasha]

Mashaallah.......Really Lovely ❤💜💙🧡

[@briayanlopez]

Watercolor. Is just so amazing

[@shirleywittering9698]

This is just amazing, I had not looked at your cloud videos as I thought I knew how to paint skies, but your use of the .blue bristle brush to smooth out the paint is really clever. It is a technique I have not seen anyone else do, and it makes such a difference to the picture. Thank you.

[@neuroticnation144]

“It rhymes with you a foola”😂😂😂

[@gerrydraper2750]

I love cloudscapes. This makes me want to do another one very soon. I also appreciate the Scriptures you add at the end. Thanks so much

[@philiplockwood255]

E,.. L.O. Steve, Good to see you are well. Another Excellent demonstration, Thank you Very much. Blessings to you,.. Mr Blue (Sky) : )

[@marthiescholer4565]

Fantastic sky WOHHHH. THANKS AGAIN

[@tatitaly64]

Encore merci pour ce partage !!! J'apprends beaucoup en vous regardant !!

[@diannemiddaugh2478]

Love the peachy light you added. Enjoyed the demo as always. Thanks☺

[@carlabakelaar8912]

So helpful! Thank you very much for your generous spirit💜

[@katbohs]

Your clouds are beautiful. Enjoyed this video very much

[@lubapatitucci5831]

Thank you for the video. Your sky is just beautiful.😘😘😘

[@creativesea.design]

I'm so glad you did this review! I'm having a very hard time finding Arches or Fabriano 100% cotton paper in my country (many stores have them, but they're not in stock) and Canson Heritage (the only other 100% cotton paper I could find here) is just over the top expensive here (I'm from Romania, in Europe), but a store I usually buy from recently told me they got Hahnemuhle brand 100% cotton paper and I was slightly tempted to buy it, but didn't know what to expect. Now I will actually go buy it, so thank you!

[@paulj666]

My first time commenting on youtube,but have to say thanks for all your great videos Steve. Just recently started painting now that I'm living in a retirement village and have a lot more time on my hands. You have given me lots of ideas with your videos and I hope to do lots of landscapes of the Australian bush and towns.

[@mindofwatercolor]

Awesome!

[@juanluisdelgadodelaflor8810]

Maravillosa acuarela maestro.

[@lindathaxton1994]

Beautiful

[@LouAnnPostma]

This may sound cornice but often your videos are my inspiration. Thank you for that.

[@DustinVoyles]

Very inspiring! Thank you for sharing Steve!

[@essietangle9931]

Great timing, just turned on the iPad. This paper seems really nice. Its good to see and think about new products. As more have it available, there might be some good sales. Look forward to seeing the hot press.

[@johnfire100]

i live in germany and the leonardo is one of my standard go to watercolor papers, i use it alot, and like it very much, i havent tried the cezanne yet, its not always easy to find leonardo and cezanne here either, hahnenmühle makes on a limited amount of this waercolor paper i think ( or its really popular and sells out fast) i can def recommend it, its nice paper.

[@blancheelaineanderson9892]

Really nice. Love your paintings.

[@beatriznewmark4979]

Amazing video, they look so natural!. Thank you

[@kathywilden7702]

Love the clouds. They turned out great!

[@nek114]

Thank you 🙏

[@marycaloiaro7253]

Love this painting!!! Loved the demo

[@diegogval]

I've tried this paper the other day and fell in love with it. Love 300 lb paper. Nice painting and review. Love your work!

[@xTK421x]

try Arches 300lb. I dare you. You will NEVER go back!

[@kinzaahmed3857]

wow looks great!! you just made me want to paint a skyscape!

[@lOwlEyesl]

HA! Love your shirt Steve!

[@FrancesMarionz]

Completely amazed... such a pleasure to watch. Thank you for your efforts 💫

[@Megzamani]

I will look for these today

[@andysargent5821]

Amazing clouds Steve. You managed to introduce great atmosphere into this painting.

[@mindofwatercolor]

Thanks my friend!

[@andysargent5821]

You're more than welcome. I had a similar accident in a recent painting where I had the effect of rain in the distance.

[@kriskrumanaker4315]

First of all, I LOOOOOOVE that shirt! Awesome clouds!

[@nataschavandun4276]

Love this! So happy to come across this video. I was looking for a cloudscape like this to add a rainbow and quote. So now practice, practice..

[@juliakeats7242]

I didn't know you could use a spray bottle like that. Thank you for sharing your talent 🌹

[@kathrynholden4223]

"I've got sunshine on a cloudy day"🎶. Also known as another great video! Thanks, Steve.

[@mindofwatercolor]

Hah! Yep.

[@madacaphoto]

Best lesson I have seen on clouds. Love this technique. I will give it a try later today.

[@suel4269]

Beautiful! I’m painting a sky a day for World Watercolor Month 2022. Cumulus clouds are the hardest to get to look natural.

[@grannieannie40]

This is the first time I have watched you paint something & I am amazed! Every time I thought that is fantastic you did a little more & it was even more fantastic! 👏👏👏

[@IsannaIAT]

Simply wondreful!

[@chunkydude51]

So much life and expression in the clouds, inspiring :-)

[@purplerose4150]

Just got a block of Aquarell 200# Ammiversary edition. Really love this paper. Ordered from Amazon.

[@debaccetta3982]

Another beauty! I love clouds and am constantly taking photos to study them....thank you for the tutorial...I get such inspiration from your work! Would love to try the paper too😊

[@eunicej]

Amazing clouds!

[@jeanmiller5120]

Just wow! Thanks for the ongoing inspiration!

[@nancymelching7535]

Excellent cloud demo! I learned so much and it turned out beautiful. Thank you!

[@marjoriebelt2842]

Thank you for this. I am mostly in Europe and it isn't always easy to get art stores here to tell you what the exact differences are between the many Hahnemühle papers. (Some of the differences are easy to read and figure out, but sometimes you can be tricked by thinking "acid free" might be a cotton paper - which it often is not.) This clarified a lot - and I love your sky painting.

[@Kathy-ju1hy]

And it all looks so easy.. until I dare to try lol Beautiful!!!

[@karliepatterson2803]

Gorgeous painting!

[@juliemontoya5476]

Beautiful Steve, gah more papers to buy:-). Your artwork is so beautiful and your demo's always packed full of great tips! Wow! I'm loving landscape!!! Putting my florals aside LOL. Thanks for all u do my friend!

[@mindofwatercolor]

You're welcome Julie!

[@connielentz1114]

I always have trouble with clouds- love this video!

[@BrianAshing]

Thanks for this review! I've recently been hearing about this brand and the timing of this video is perfect.

[@valeriemckay7064]

I am a cloud lover, people think I'm weird cause I'm always asking, "did you see the clouds yesterday?" ... or whenever. Very nice job on these clouds. I love your channel.

[@pratigya_berwal]

So cute ❤️

[@alysononoahu8702]

Thanks 😊

[@TuxieTude]

That's just gorgeous!! 🎨🌧️😊

[@pradaxina]

Just amazing!

[@chrislogsdon1198]

Wonderful video of you painting awesome clouds! And thank you for tying in the Bible verse at the end referencing the maker of the clouds. God's beauty is unsurpassed! Your paintings are super duper!!!

[@Rubbereyes]

I’ll have to look for this paper.

[@donnabirney817]

Hi Really liked this cloud detail. You're a great talent for us to watch! Thanks :)

[@thewaytojannah4392]

So beautiful.... and I have learnt many things.... Thanks...

[@Vic101able]

I liked it, like aways, l find area of painting in watercolor to go explore and experiment! Tku Steve!

[@Poozlah]

I love Reese. Please don't ever let him go on vacation. You "two" are awfully funny.

[@Rosemarie04921]

Excellent demo....especially love how you explain the anatomy of a cloud. Thanks! FYI, third link for Hahnemule paper is a 'no show'.

[@elflordsjourneys]

Great demo,nice clouds steve, I like my sterling brushes.😀

[@memalus]

Beautiful!

[@StimpyGamer]

"I might stare at it..." Yeah... I do that too... It feels self indulgent, but you learn so much :)

[@Vic101able]

This was awesome, very helpful and inspiring and l look forward to using this paper in the future.

[@mpsaltiel9003]

Another great video packed with information and tips. Can't wait to try the technique. I have been using Arches but will definetly try Hqhnemüle which is available in France. Thanks from Paris

[@Kyomiibrown]

Great video! I will look forward to your other tests, particularly Hot Press.

[@VanmeterFL]

In the effort to narrow inventory and go deep on products the stores have limited our access to some of the BEST products out there. I know that makes the stores more money, but it hurts consumer's options. Thank goodness for Amazon. Thanks for your links. They help!

[@zhydanovajulia]

This is sooo beautiful ☺️

[@capbin146]

Great painting Steve, I wish you filmed that peach glaze it really worked brilliantly and for me it moved a good painting to a great picture. Best wishes.

[@mindofwatercolor]

It was applied pretty much just like the lighter golden tones I applied closer to the beginners.

[@renmuffett]

This is wonderful!

[@sherrilltaylor1801]

Loved this !
