Learn To Paint Clouds

[@paxsmile]

Just had to mention that your courtesy is adorable! :) Thank goodness people like you still exist..

[@batgurl1987]

I have watched probably ten cloud how to videos and this is the ONLY one that made sense. Its nice to see videos with people that have the same accent as me, it's easier to understand lol

[@MichaelThompsonartist]

Jessy Page thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it as a teacher I want to make sure it is as easy as possible to understand. :-)

[@lucillerox6751]

This is one of the best cloud videos I've seen....I love wispy clouds.

[@cheyenneirby9127]

I absolutely love your teachings I just got some oil paint for Christmas and I'm nervous to use them. I love how you don't try to be perfect or hide your personality from your artistic life. I'm in 10th grade and so far you are my inspiration to become better.

[@patriciaortizramos6267]

Thank you so much Michael. I actually improved my clouds by watching you simplify the method. Looking forward to making some beautiful skies!

[@johnstone8760]

Lol, this video hits home with me but I can't somehow get back home. I lived in Tennessee for 13 years and I have missed it ever since. So I can relate to this immensely. You go brother.

[@LaPieta227]

very nice, loved your video. You are relaxing to listen to, and to watch. Thanks for sharing your technique.

[@Xaris98]

First, I must say your super soft accent and relaxed attitude can win you the world, it was so lovely listening to you. :) I hope this tutorial will help me alot. Thanks.

[@kelymknowles1]

I think it is great that you showed all the different brushes in action. This Is great for new painters. I prefer the knife whenever possible. I love texture & sneak it in at every opportunity. lol

[@MariaAltmann]

Gorgeous Michael. A Breath of Fresh Air TA!

[@MasterAJDUDE]

Awesome!

[@mireille5544]

Merci bcp pour vos conseils. Vos nuages sont très réalistes. 🥰👍🙏

[@MichaelThompsonartist]

sure I would be glad to look at it, it is always a joy to see other artist's work.

[@mtaur100]

Excellent lesson. Thanks for showing different ways to paint and fluff up the clouds.

[@MichaelThompsonartist]

thank you for taking time to watch :-)

[@danielwieten8617]

I listen to this video and your other ones at work to relax and it always catches me off guard when the music comes in out of nowhere at the end lol

[@superpsychgeek]

Thank you again! It's so nice to have all of my brushes clean again. I haven't started my mermaid yet, but I did attempt to do the sky and clouds. Your method worked perfectly! I'm looking forward to hanginging it in my office.

[@cha_os3]

One of the best explanations for clouds I’ve seen so far & I’ve been searching for weeks on KZbin. Thank you.

[@brendajeannewyche]

This is the best cloud tutorial I’ve ever seen & I’ve seen a lot of different ones. I’ve been struggling with clouds & you have helped me a whole lot. Thank you so much. You’re amazing. “YAY for us!” 🤣❤️😁

[@MichaelThompsonartist]

Thank You :-)

[@magdin2001]

Thank you! I love your online classes!

[@jamajezzie]

Are you going to post more videos soon? I hope so, love your work.

[@LRMarsh-le9zj]

Thanks for the tips on clouds. They seem easy but getting them right on your canvas or other medium can be tricky for a novice.

[@christineshannon1500]

I'll be watching all the art techniques. Thanks for the opportunity to learn.

[@MichaelThompsonartist]

thank you for watching.

[@Waddawik]

you are amazing !!! I got paints, brushes and a blank canvas for christmas so im looking foward to trying this painting. Thank you.

[@gescheitine]

A little trick from an. Oil painter artist to another : when you're done with brushes, clean it then put it some hand's cream : if it left some paint inside the brushes it will prevent it from drying and spoiled your precious tools and it allow brushes to keep its form when you put it away! Hope to have help! Thanks.

[@xiaoyunmei5099]

Kareen Healey thanks for the advice!

Hello Micheal, I like your praxis off clouds. Thanks for sharing.

[@juanenriquelaurentinrojas9142]

Te luciste chamo, todos los días se aprende algo nuevo, muchas y sinceras felicitaciones, viví en Marietta Atlanta por dos años...Gracias por tus enseñanzas.

[@gilbertorego2195]

Very beautiful artwork! Congratulations!

[@jamesmac8334]

As a total beginner I find your instruction technique inspiring. Very friendly and informative while making such an effective aspect of artistry look 'do-able' .. Can't wait to see the mess I make of it! Thanks. J

[@RobSummers]

Hey Hey Michael Thompson, looking forward to seeing your next video. Learn To Paint Clouds was interesting.

[@jk0897]

Great realistic looking clouds.

[@pyroaa464]

I'm really interested in painting, I've never begun, since I don't own any paint stuff. I've just grown an interest to painting, it's facinating I want to start creating and selling some for some money of my own! This video is inspiring and whenever j get paint, I will use this technique! I've always wanted to paint a sky, it's the first thing I want to! Thank you for inspiring me and others

[@anneviles5323]

Thanks Michael , I do plan on learning how to paint with thicker acrylics such as liquitex until then I'll keep working on clouds.i can do just about anything but clouds have always been my obstacles lol!

[@MichaelThompsonartist]

Anne Viles good luck share some pics when you get a chance.

[@shavaunaronan3188]

Thank you for this awesome cloud video. I think I am holding my brush like I want to kill it, lol. Will try and be more relaxed. Getting the hang of using a large 2" inch brush and palette knife will take some practice but totally understand the concept behind using both. Thanks again!

[@jamajezzie]

Love ur accent. Im from ky and have one too. Wait to try some of your technique. All of your paintings are beautiful. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

[@Superblackchiney]

I just found your channel. I've subscribed. Not only do I like how you explain the painting but I love your country accent. I'm country too so it feels like home. 😁

[@raisa3456]

I'm very beginner to pain on canvas. So i wanna know what type of canvas u used for making this painting? And if i do the same paint with acrylic would that be good as this paint? And thank u so much for sharing a lovely painting.

[@amandacarnegie1]

Fantastic.. I was stuck on how to achieve lovely clouds, now I know, thank you.

[@bretromeomendoza2062]

Hi Michael, thank you for this wonderful video. This really help me a lot, because I suck at painting clouds.. .that's why I always paint sky with no clouds :) thanks again :)

[@ruslana81]

You are great! I will make some excercises using your tutorials. I'm a beginner in painting and I'm inlove in oil paintings. Greetings from Poland :) Joanna

[@karenblackburn982]

At last, someone who doesn't tell you to even out all the colours and remove the brush marks. I sometimes wonder if the result is meant to be a painting or a copy of a photograph, you have restored my faith. Thanks

[@loisjohnson7272]

Are you from the Carolinas ? you sound southern like me,, thank you for helping me with painting clouds ☁️,

[@jamajezzie]

It should have read can't wait to try some of your techniques. Thank you!

[@TeaTimewithFrancis]

The last move he made, with that shadow, was crucial.

[@chriswhitehouse8982]

Really enjoyed watching this and love your accent too.

[@superpsychgeek]

You're amazing! This is going to be so helpful to me! I curious, how do you clean your brushes? I've got oil paint everywhere. Also, can you draw on top of an oil painting? Thank you!

[@jaymesplace]

Brilliant! The palette knife has confuddled me

[@tjradmila]

Oh wow, really good and very inspiring, too. Thanks

[@neehaglee7249]

Just Amazing!! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video! :-)

[@blsimba64]

Thank you for sharing the great demo! I'm learning acrylic painting, but the technique could be similar. Would you please let me know if you used a soft or stiff brush when recording the video?

[@physicallychallengedwalrus803]

[@cherylsmith639]

Thank you, very realistic ⚘

[@MichaelThompsonartist]

yes I have tried it, it does take getting used to and it is going to dry quick oils give you a lot more freedom.

[@palavrasdosalvadorsalvador8783]

Dear friend Michael I loved his way of painting and teaches as I learned a lot how to make clouds, but it is so difficult to do (sunrise) and (sunset), because I love doing marinas, boats and trains. Please how to do it (so sunrise and sunset) in water and on land with all its nuances of color? From already thank you. PS. I'm from Brazil - Big hug!

[@MichaelThompsonartist]

[@nancywarren]

I knew I recognized that accent. Great painting, thanks.

[@MichaelThompsonartist]

+nancywarren Thanks

[@reglindiseckhardt9777]

Love the clarity of your video. So far making this type of cloud isn't too hard for me, but do you have any suggestions that will make it easier to produce the effect of strong shafts of sunlight breaking through cumulous cloud layer? Back-lighting and the effect of different colours throughout is still a challenge.

[@joseluisorellanal]

Nice!! Thanks for share!! my problems with clouds has gone now!!! Hello, from Honduras, Central America.

[@Mimi4neon3]

You have helped me further my art! Many thanks from E.C, WI :) definately subscribed!

[@GregLynn]

I assume oil paints? I use acrylic, but I have some retarder and gel medium I plan on using to blend the clouds in a commissioned painting. Thanks for the blending advice!!

[@DrawMeAus]

Nice work. Bob Ross memories.

[@chingsmusic6159]

hi Michael you are a great teacher. i just want to ask. what did you put on your canvas before painted it with blue. did you put something on it. and if you do, should we put it every time we paint and why should we put it? thanks
