How to paint really realistic clouds alla prima

This Video is available as a full time real time tutorial WITH VOICEOVER on my Patreon (and also for single sale on my website).
I will show you the whole process of the different layers of colours that I apply, from the underpainting to detailing ot the final layer. You will get lots of information hearing me explaining what I do while you see me painting, always seeing the colour palette that I`m using, too!

[@michellerposhtar1777]

First off stunning. So realistic. Sadly I only have acrylic paint but do have a retarder that I can add to slow down the drying time. Now my question is. Would what your doing also work with acrylic paint with using the retarder in the acrylic and also with doing smaller areas because of the faster drying time of acrylic. If that would work I'd be over the moon. By far you're the best in in showing how to make realistic clouds. looking forward to your response. Thank you.

[@brennerfineart]

Thank you so much Michelle :-))) I have to admit, that I pretty quickly switched from oils to acrylics when I started to paint well over 30 years ago...I have no experience in using a retarder for acrylics on top. But I still think it should work, give it a try :-))) If it is not going too well you can switch to oils...they are SO much easier to work with than those acrylics...you have SO much more time to blend...the colours have a better consistency and they stay true to their wet appearance. And no need for any harsh medium, I solely use linseed oil to thin down my oil colours. Would really give you the advice to at least thinking about switching to oils...really really really WAY better than acrylics :-)))

[@1trustnjc]

Is that linseed oil you put down before painting the grays inside the clouds ?

[@brennerfineart]

Yes, oiling out the painting surface is for this kind of material (HDF plates) important to prevent the oil from the colour to get sucked into the surface too quickly

[@P_A_V_L_O_V_S]

Ich würd gern mit dem Malen anfangen, dazu habe ich ein paar Fragen.. Wie läuft das denn ab? Malt man ein Foto nach oder entsteht alles im Kopf? Wie lange lässt man es trocknen zwischen den einzelnen Schichten, falls man überhaupt trocknen lässt. Muss man unbedingt Leinwand nehmen oder geht normales bzw. bearbeitetes Papier? Das wars schon :) ansonsten echt ein tolles Bild und was realistic paint angeht, ist echt auf hohem Niveau.

[@brennerfineart]

Erstmal vielen Dank für die Blumen :-) Ich arbeite mit Fotovorlagen, hab das immer schon so gemacht. Ich meine man kann sehen wenn jemand ein komplettes Bild "aus den Gedanken heraus" erschafft...man hat oftmals Muster beim malen, in die man verfällt wenn man sich nicht an einer Fotovorlage orientiert. Und das sieht man einfach...wenn man nicht dutzende Jahre Erfahrung hat oder sich seit 15, 20 Jahren auf ein einziges Thema spezialisiert. Ich arbeite im Normalfall mit zwei Schichten Farbe. Die erste lass ich immer einige Tage trocknen. Es darf sich NICHT mehr klebrig anfühlen, sonst löst die nächste Schicht Farbe die erst wieder ab. Deshalb arbeite ich meistens an mehreren Bildern gleichzeitig, kann so zwischen den Bildern wechseln wenn wieder eines an einer Stelle trocken ist, habe so keinen Leerlauf. Malen kann man auf allen Materialien, aber Papier ist die schlechteste Wahl meiner Meinung nach...es fängt an zu wellen, es ist nicht stabil, saugt die Farbe sofort auf...Leinwand muss nicht sein, aber irgendwas stabileres (in der Videobeschreibung von diesem Video hab ich Links zum Material das ich verwende). Tipp - kauf dir gleich zu Beginn Ölfarben...nein, das ist NICHT schwieriger als mit den Acrylfarben, es ist WESENTLICH einfacher, weil du viel mehr Zeit hast, gute Farbverläufe anzulegen. Acryl ist so gut wie trocken sobald man es aufgetragen hat, Öl trocknet in Stunden/Tagen. VIEL!!!! einfacher. Und nochmal nein ;-) Ich male ausschließlich mit Leinöl als Verdünnungsmittel, ich verwende KEINEN mineralischen Verdünner, Terpentin oder ähnliches krebserregende Zeug - und die Bilder werden trotzdem was ;-) Ich hab einen Patreon Kanal, auf dem ich mittlerweile über 100 Vollzeittutorials befinden (von den letzten 100+ Videos auf KZbin). Also die Videos von KZbin in einer Vollzeitversion, 2-10 Stunden malen pur. Ohne Zeitraffer, inklusive Farbmischprozess. Wäre das vielleicht was für dich? www.patreon.com/brennerfineart

@@brennerfineart Wahnsinn, vielen Dank für so eine ausführliche Antwort. Habe alles notiert und bin echt für jeden Tipp dankbar, ich schaue erstmal ob ich überhaupt genug Geduld und Geschick besitze. Danach (falls zutreffen sollte) werd ich voll eintauchen in die Materie. Werde öfter mal vorbeischauen nach dem ich mir etwas Material zusammen gekauft habe.

お返事ありがとうございます❤。白い雲を描く前に透き通ったビンに入った物を塗りましたがそれは何ですか？教えて頂きたいです❤私もこんなにステキに描いてみたいです✌️。

[@brennerfineart]

表面を亜麻仁油で「シール」しました...私はペイントボードを使用していますが、油絵の具の油をすぐに吸収します。それを防ぐために、オイルを薄く塗っておきました。ただし、通常のキャンバスにペイントする場合は、これを行う必要はありません。

[@user-hr5fv6ri5l]

大変分かりやすく親切なご説明ありがとうございます😊❣️よく分かりました👌。私も綺麗な雲を☁️描いてみようと思います。ありがとうございました😊。

[@MARVINXV8]

Are you painting clouds with Acrylic or oil paints

[@brennerfineart]

I´m using oil colour...can highly recommend them, acrylics are dry the moment you put them onto the canvas...blending is nearly impossible.

[@MARVINXV8]

many thanks for your reply. I will give a try. your clouds are fantastic well done.

[@andystocks3252]

Excellent physical process tutorial…please moderate you voiceover. Possibly need to write what your trying to say. It sounds like you are talking as you paint. Your brain is partly focusing on the painting process and partly on talking. Maybe voice over your painting process. You are an excellent tutor but your voiceover needs attention. It isn’t your accent, that’s quite endearing. Excellent painting I always wondered how the effect of clouds was achieved!

[@brennerfineart]

Thank you :-))) The voiceover...this is difficult...a real voiceover perfectly matching what is happening on the screen would take hours to time, film, cut...I do still do work 75% at a publishing house and do the KZbin channel as kind of a hobby...so simply no time to do it perfectly. On top, I am not a native speaker (my german accent is VERY obvious ;-))) so this makes it even harder to find the right words at the right time as I record the voiceover in one go...but I will try to improve!

[@iancurrie9740]

Excellent work but let down by poor presentation. Please stop saying ‘kind of’ and ‘more or less’. These words add nothing and with constant repetition, are grating.

[@brennerfineart]

Thank you :-))) The presentation...just to put things into perspective...I still work part time at a publishing house to make both ends meet...means, I do not have the time to write a script for the videos...so I have to fill 10, 15 minutes in a foreign language (its obvious I am NOT a native english speaking person ;-)...and this is not an easy thing...some words repeat themselves automatically as I try to to illustrate with words what I do on the canvas...so it is pretty repetitive at times...but I try to improve. And one day I can perhaps really make a living solely from my art. And THEN I can script the videos :-)))
