Beautiful way to capture the chaos of clouds. I’m a beginning watercolor student and look forward to trying this technique. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful sky 👏👏👏 Your style of painting the sky is pretty unique and stress-free too.

[@deepashtray5605]

That looks like a good way to do background mountains. If I were a more accomplished painter I'd give it a try. Nice work.

Just found your channel, loved this video

Thank you! That was a lovely little, straight forward demo. I LOVE granulation and Ultramarine is one of my favourites for that reason, and in the cloud parts of the painting it looks amazing but I think I would use a non-granulating blue for the sky for a bit more intensity. I live in Australia so the skies are pretty damn intense 😆. Going down to the studio right now to try this method out but am going to use Ultramarine and Burnt Sienna (also my staple for good greys) but then the Cerulean for the blue. Anyhoo, thanks again. I loved this easy demo. All the best from Australia! 😎
