EASY How To Paint Clouds Perfect Every Time - Wet On Wet Style!

[@DensShop]

My first attempts at clouds were a muddy mess. So, Wild suggested I don't use so much liquid white when I base the canvas. I did that and then watched this video so many times that I could quote some of the dialogue. I'm sitting at the easel a week later practicing clouds, thinking they're not that good, my highlights are lousy, I've wasted way too much money on Bob Ross gear, and this may be hopeless......then my wife walks by and exclaims, "Wow! Those are great clouds!". She didn't want any of them covered up in the painting. My wife is a very compassionate person, but she doesn't give away complements w/o them being deserving. In the initial stages of learning anything, there's always many mistakes & results that we're not happy with. However, I've been repeatedly watching Wild's videos as I'm attempting to learn wet-on-wet painting (I even have the Bob Ross 3hr training course). I will say this, Wild, - you're a fantastic teacher. Please keep the videos coming. (...and no, Folks, I don't know Wild personally, I'm not a paid endorser of Wild, and I'm not paying off any kind of debt I owe Wild, etc. I just am getting something worthwhile from the videos).

[@WildCreates]

We are always critical of ourselves ( which I think is a good thing ha ha ha) BUT you are doing it right buddy. Keep painting and learning from your mistakes. Next weeks clouds will be better than this weeks and the week after that and so on and so on. Stick with it and you will nail it. Rome wasn't built in a day nor will your Bob Ross Wet on Wet Adventures be accomplished in one day 😜

[@jeannewelbourn5828]

I just stumbled upon you and your tutorials. I have only painted one very small and one regular size painting from just watching old Ross videos. I've watched probably ten of your videos this morning, and you've hit on every problem I'm having. Some of your tips are the very things I thought of during my limited experience, so it's wonderful to see what else you've come up with. Thank you ever so much.

WOW!!! A "teacher painter" I have searched KZbin for how to paint... You do it best! Details abound Hand, arm, the brush all the details a beginner needs to consider and learn. I will be watching all your videos for more details, thanks! Only suggestion I can think of is some camera angles I can't see what the hand is doing with the brush, if camera in closeup is shot from other shoulder reveal would be better.

[@WildCreates]

Glad I can help you out. I am trying to find a better way to show everything. I think when I get some more funds I will get a 2nd camera to help out for when my hand and wrist block some things.

[@Joe125g20]

This is really useful advice! Bob Ross' videos are great and show how to do a complete painting with all the basic techniques, but there isn't a lot of detail and it can be disheartening when it doesn't quite work and you're not sure why - this video helped me go from slightly brighter areas of blue in my sky to very distinct clouds!! Still need to work on their shape, but they're miles better! Thank you :)

[@WildCreates]

Yeah - Kinda the reason I made the video... Wanted to help dive more into the sections that get glossed over. Glad I could help you out and thanks for watching :) Happy painting!

[@alexfrederick3404]

Thanks ... this is very helpful. I just started painting after pencil drawing and colored pencils. I just dove in head first and follow Bob Ross the best I can, and it's fun and turns out looking pretty good. But it's kind of like learning to swim by getting dumped into the Pacific ocean!! It's necesary to slow down!!

[@WildCreates]

Diving head first is the best way to get started he he he. I am sure if you watch a few of my videos, they will get you started off on the right foot... This way you are not treading water in the wide ocean of wet on wet painting :)

Thank You - Always glad to help out :)

[@michaelgoodwin5510]

Wild, thanks for doing this vid. I keep forgetting to add the background color (the darker) first - then the highlight on top! Just like the trees, clouds need shadows too - dark then light.

Your welcome - Glad to help.

[@vickeykalaskar]

Thanks for this video. I recently started wet on wet landscape oil painting coming from sketching pencil portraits. As an amateur I went and bought economical paints and brushes, and was struggling to get the colors stick on top of other colors (sky and floral, very frustrating), I thought perhaps it was the lack of talent lol, but there seems to be some hope after watching your videos. I am going to retry with Bob Ross paints and will definitely update you on how that experiments goes. Wonderful tips in the video!!! As a side note, I am going to see if you have a detailed video on what brush types to use for this technique (perhaps it matters perhaps it does not).

[@WildCreates]

I am sure if you try the BR wet on wet style.... You will nail it :) I dont have a in-depth video on brushes just yet. But if I were you I would invest in the BR Master Paint Set, It will mostly come with everything you need to get started. You can check out a video I did on it here ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6Sxqp15mNh1mqs ) Good luck and let me know how it goes.

Glad to help - here is a full breakdown on how to paint clouds: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2XEqWt5ba1nbdE

[@EddardStark1987]

Do you use a dry brush when blending clouds? What if have few brushes and had to wash them. Amazing video, started today and have to restart from beginning. Paint just won't leave the brush. I'm afraid it's because of too much liquid white, or too thin since I made it myself

[@WildCreates]

Yes - I use a dry brush. Dry investing in a beater rack to get your brush dry quick. I did a video on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaTbl4SslJ1le5I

[@dconfused9919]

My tip thinner for sky area. Liquid white for mountains and water reflections. And liquid white some thinner for highlights. And practice

[@WildCreates]

The best tip is practice for sure :)

[@mariodegroote6756]

im absorbing knowledge about the basics and love it. in two days im having time to take my first real steps. stubborn as i am i wanna do it my way ofc, but i learned not to run in blind. so many teatchers outthere for anyone that wants to learn. found a good one here that fits me as enfant terrible fine:D thnxs for sharing, im having a blast:D o and im going in the direction of steampunk, post apo, and hmmm... space:D i cant wait:D tc all:D

[@lindajakub624]

Can you use acrylics same as oil?

[@WildCreates]

If you want to use acrylics like oils. You will need to use open acrylic paints.

[@timothysewell2937]

Wild - love that you take the time to demonstrate these techniques - it is really keeping me going. I do have one query through, how often do you change your brushes during painting. I can see that it probably was just one fan brush used but it did feel like you used more 2inch brushes? Thanks again.

[@WildCreates]

Glad that this video could help you out. I did this video a while ago but I am sure I only used the 2 brushes you see. Even now when I make videos, I normally just clean the brushes in between stages, rather than use multiple brushes. Most people dont own multiple brushes so I try to keep it simple .... At times :P

[@timothysewell2937]

[@jewellguitars]

Do we get different clouds or something here in the UK? I've watched plenty in all seasons, but never yet seen real clouds in pure white (or pink, purple etc)! Not talking rain clouds here, but even fluffy white summer clouds always seem to deepen to a heavier gray or something, Wild. Only fluffy white around the forward edges, following the wind path, but "deeper" or "Heavier" along the bottom. So it's always bugged me that Bob Ross always blends clouds into the blue sky. Any ideas how to make fluffy white clouds a little thicker like I describe, Wild? Many thank. Alan.

[@WildCreates]

There is no right answer when it comes to clouds - You can make them however you want. If you want bold pure white clouds. Just add more layers on top of the clouds you painted and PERFECTION.

[@yenracm]

Hey man just thought about this. I want you to show me how to layer clouds an paint the bottom with your technique.

[@WildCreates]

I think I show that in a few past videos already BUT I will see what I can do in a future video for ya.

[@nhakhoavietgiap8392]

Good

[@WildCreates]

Thanks for watching.

[@XOKaraJo]

Grrrrr I just can't seem to get the bottom fluff thing down, rubbing the bottom of the clouds around in circles just smears it, especially when I am making dark clouds. Thoughts?

@@WildCreates what if my paint is thinned down too much, could that be an issue?

[@Phoenix-iy6mx]

Will this technique work will acrylic paint too?

[@WildCreates]

It can BUT you will either have to work really fast before your paint can dry or add mediums to acrylics so they have a slow dry effect.
