Paint Beautiful Skies at Sunrise and Sunset

[@karenluke-mannarino3426]

Just want to say thank you. This summer I decided it was time to really delve into landscape painting. I found your videos on trees (yay) and then went on to your previous 5 videos on skies so essential to landscapes. You are a fabulous teacher and an amazing artist!

[@dorothywicks9271]

Happy Birthday Oliver! Thanks for sharing your beautiful painting. Love your chocolate palette..yum!!

[@pk3679]

Thank you so much for sharing your sky techniques. I have heard the painters say that you must put in the sky in one go....and I could never see how I could do that with a complicated sky composition. Your two step method looks like it would do the trick. So again, thank you.

[@cinhill22]

This was a wonderful lesson, on restraining the value of colors, I tend to always do it too dark, this made me stop and think about the lighter end of my colors and not deepening them, but keeping to those warm and cool lighter values... thanks I really enjoyed this lesson and look forward to the next one!!!

[@sarahstevenson2384]

Happy belated Birthday Oliver! Thank you so much for your videos, these skies are so beautiful.

[@marie-luciefontaine4942]

I love how with slashes of colors applied in layers you managed to give your painting loads of cohesion while keeping a very clean spectacular look. Blending at its very best. Thank you for sharing! Really appreciate it!

[@kellyhalligan1328]

You’re such a good instructor, thanks for posting a full tutorial!

[@ogriv2012]

Thank you for another well done landscape painting video and Happy Birthday!

[@margaritagallo]

Lol I loved that palette! Great lesson Oliver, great colours.😄🤩

[@mikeburton1955]

Thank you for your generosity in producing such helpful instructional videos Ollie. Your approach is one I connect with and in this video your thoughts on muting colours from the reality were thought provoking and the demonstration clearly shows it works fabulously.

[@valeriegold7190]

Totally beautiful

[@lynnmartin8260]

Don't have anything more inspiring than the comments you have already received except to parrot some of them. Thank you for sharing your videos and insight. Poole Harbor1 was a game-changer for me in the sky department! Your paintings are fabulously eye-pleasing. Happy birthday and many more, as a chocolate lover I can appreciate your new palate. Maybe we'd have a lot more watercolorist with palettes like that! Enjoy!!

[@beebee8018]

Thanks Olly, you have transformed the way I now paint. I have gone from painting amateur cartoon looking pictures to paintings that look how I want to paint them and people admire them. I no longer keep my pictures hidden in the back of the cupboard!

[@lorihanby6733]

I’m so glad someone suggested your videos to me. Your technique of layering the sunrises and sunsets is extremely helpful. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you and happy birthday!

[@beebee8018]

Chocolate paints… 🍫love your humour. A Late Happy Birthday Olly ✏️🎨🖍️

[@lanahmt7950]

Happy birthday and many many beautiful sunrises and sunsets to you, and thank you very much for your adorables and useful lessons!

[@pjs3514]

Very good information about sunrises and sunsets. Thank you

[@CJ-jl4cx]

Happy birthday Olly! Wonderful video as always. Enjoy your new palette!

[@kianruki]

beautiful I love your work.

[@jennetbowdridge]

Terrific video! Thank you for creating these. So informative and helpful. Hope you had a great birthday & enjoyed your new palette🎉

[@daleshawn1910]

Happy Birthday to you! Thank you so much for this wonderful lesson.

[@grahamknight5321]

Hi Oliver, I have a confession to make i watched your video yesterday after a heavy lunch and found the piano background music so soothing i nodded off and missed most of it, so after a second viewing i found this really valuable information which i will try and put into practice. I recently have taken up watercolour painting and have used your videos as a reference for my knowledge but it hasn't taken me long to realise that put brush to paper is the only real way to learn (mistakes and all) thank you for posting these videos.

[@chrystalfrost1775]

Thank you so much for sharing your tips and insight. I can't wait to have a go.

[@MaryLuJacobus]

I’m in Texas. The bright sunset looks perfect to me. I’m sorry you don’t have BRIGHT sunsets. Love the teaching you do. Thanks. 33:21

[@AlunaMVP]

Love the palette!

[@jonathanwarrenberg9260]

Just what I needed, thank you. Been pondering how to approach this after some lovely sunsets here over Yorkshire moors.

[@AdamSingle]

Olly, amazing. I just want to absorb your technique. The luminescence in it is incredible. I need to find more ways to practice the kind of layered glazing that you do. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@sherrym.2413]

Happy Birthday Olly! Blessings for a great year ahead. Thank you for the video and the instruction, so helpful.

[@noelnicholls3622]

Happy Birthday Oliver. Hope you enjoyed your day as much as I enjoy watching you paint.

[@patriciaoliveira9212]

Hello, Oliver! Happy Birthday! Enjoy it and thank you once more lo give us this so nice and helpfull video, ideal for this September. Greetings.😊

[@carrollwilson5169]

Stunning 😍

[@Sherlock2022]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I would be interested to see how the next stage would progress, without the trees looking like they’re ‘stuck on’. I noticed that in your paintings the trees have the raking light of the sunset/ sunrise. Happy birthday 🎂

[@maryrichinick7287]

This video is so helpful. I'm an early riser, living on a lake seeing beautiful sunrises and sunsets. I plan to paint a sunrise scene from a photo I recently took so thank you! And a belated happy birthday!

[@susanbaker3078]

Happy birthday, Oliver! I love the new pallette, what yummy looking pigments!! May the year ahead bring you many inspiring adventures!! Thanks for helping us capture some of the beauty. Cheers and best wishes! 🎁💐🌞

[@tesshiva]

Very Happy Birthday! Every one of your videos teaches me so very much, and you inspire me to take the time to plan more and to rush in less, and to really LOOK at my landscape before choosing what to paint. Many Thanks!

[@bonnielewis8797]

Positively meditative...thanks for a lovely Sunday morning...

[@reenadatta3802]

Gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing this process.

[@sheilacym]

I just came to your channel here after a commenter on another artist’s channel recommended you. Well ! Your videos are absolutely wonderful and I am so glad they recommended you . I love your descriptions and explanations here and look forward to watching all your videos on this channel. Love Virgos !!! 🤗🥳🥳

[@voliabrandaolaveneremachad7849]

Happy birthday and thank you so much for the video! Love your chocolate palette!

[@sandytorento5048]

[@jacklynwilliam3862]

[@johnfletcher4833]

Watched again Olly Beautiful! So inspiring, thank you 👍🏽

[@tibet2001ca]

Thank you so much for the enjoyable, informative, and helpful videos! 🙏

[@yipyip2020yip]

Happy Birthday to Oliver ~~😇

[@janleitch]

My goodness, what wonderful information about the landscape. I have a broken arm and will spend this time resting while I watch your videos. Can’t wait to apply this to paper.

[@maryannegunter115]

I always look forward to Oliver Pyle videos. You have taught me alot, with your expert details, ease of painting, and very calming voice. Thank you 😊

[@elizabethsolart]

Found this so very helpful. Subtleties are everything 😊

[@yvonnegeelen6571]

Thankyou for sharing your beautiful sky’s I have never used Naples yellow in sky’s I am going to try happy birthday

[@elisabethgomes8370]

You will love it! Naples yellow makes nice greys when mixed with blue, so you never get those annoying greens in your sky 😊

[@barbararosselot2025]

This was wonderful! I’m primarily an oil painter but have become increasingly intrigued by watercolors. A great lesson. Thank you!

[@gulfcoastlife3901]

I'm only two minutes in and I'm nodding my head in agreement! I have not bothered to paint from some photos I have because I thought they'll never look real - thank you for this!! I love your work and your videos 😃

[@melissal5633]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I find great value in your mentorship from afar!

[@pammcreynolds]

I'm so excited to learn about painting the skies. What a great series this has been!

[@Wolf-6567]

These are really helpful, I'm just starting out. Fantastic thank you for makking these have a great day. 😀

[@carollundstrom6519]

Thank you for your wonderful tutorials Oliver and also Happy birthday!

[@michaelwilson8204]

You are a very skilful and inspiring tutor. Living in West Sussex, I recognise most of your locations and thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@caroladalmariveramendizaba2657]

Happy birthday Oliver, God bless you!

[@johnthulborn4713]

Thanks Oliver for your time doing these videos

[@chriswinks3897]

Wow, that is fabulous, you make it look SO easy! Thank you. I will try....

[@adriennesaracen6525]

Thanks so much Olly. Excellent tutorial as always.

[@deanniasiegmund3636]

I am getting a lot from your videos. Love them

[@noelnicholls3622]

The strong sunset colours look very much like an Inland Australia sunset!

[@mafroodayasmin9634]

Thank you so much. This is one of the best tutorials I have come across. Tried both of them and though I have a long way to go doing landscapes I am so optimistic after doing today's exercise.

[@HelenofHersham]

Oliver, you are a fantastic teacher! Thank you so much for your generosity and time given to us, sharing your craft! My partner and I are new to Watercolours and your excellent content is so inspiring. We are improving already after only a few weeks of discovering you and having so much fun learning this media. We can't thank you enough! 😊😊

[@anego4733]

Beautiful!!! Thanks a lot!

[@martineduflot3799]

Olly, je vous adore depuis la France, vous êtes talentueux et pédagogue, bref un très bon professeur. Mille mercis pour tous vos cours 😅que je regarde assidûment Martine

[@kristingoethals4330]

rarely seen tutorials that are so clear and helpful ! thank you !

[@peterkotlowski4613]

Thanks for helping us navigate this difficult subject.

[@germainenyssen-qr8xj]

Thank you Oliver, I am trying richting now!

[@marymcneill7397]

Thank you so much- another brilliant and inspiring tutorial.

[@paulineshelley4421]

Thank you for such a helpful information packed video. I think the main thing I have learned from this is that watercolour is a soft medium and therefore it is best when it is used for more subtle skies. Also I realise that I’m too impatient. As you demonstrated, use layers to build up the soft colours in the skies. Superb teaching! Thank you!

[@joanncarter2241]

I love this approach! skies are so difficult. Thanks

[@delphinewood7519]

Always learn from your sky painting tutorials. Thanks for posting.

[@charmaineburden609]

Hello Oliver I am in total love with my rigger lol. I've pritty much watched every video and love every minute I have learnt so very much from you and thank you for your tutorials I totaly live painting although I am finding something hard But enjoy doing the trees and what a difference from when I started to know . Thank you

[@DrIli2008]

Very interesting that some scenes are just better suited for some mediums. Thanks for the excellent series.

[@mariaellers8026]

Oliver I have just discovered your amazing tutorials in the last few days, and I have say WOW! I am so Bloody! excited, I started doing online classes beginning of this year, like the ones you described and got stuck with doing subjects and styles with the follow along technique that I didn't like. As a retired clothing designer who started my career designing everything in pencil, pen, ink and paints then transitioned to computers, I have definitely lost my touch. I am in Australia right on the beach so I can already see potential on landscapes just across the road that I am dying to work on. Thank you Thank You Thank You and Happy New Year. Maria

[@francescad4054]

Thank you for this excellent lesson/film, I watched it twice and the second time had a go at the landscapes myself. I appreciated being able to follow along at a slow pace and the clarity and precision of your explanations. Another favorite thing with me about this educational film is limiting colours to three primaries. Personally I get a lot less stress when I’m working this way rather than with a lot of colours whose interactions I’m not experienced enough to predict or manage. Thank you and a belated happy birthday.

[@LD5536]

So lovely❤so lovely! Thanks

[@MB-kf3yx]

Loved the video....and paintings. Happy Birthday!

[@gailgray6600]

Just stunning. Thank you!!

[@joldendoves2795]

I haven't been on here for a few months, your health seems to have really improved more relaxed and happy, something good has happened. As always your painting are stunning and you are brilliant.

[@sylviarogerson7662]

I painted the sunset today. It was challenging for me to use restraint. Turned out OK, though. Next I will paint the sunrise. My goal is to paint more like you!!

[@christinebell2294]

Happy birthday Oliver,is your board at an angle,or flat.Thankyou for your video’s,amazing,has really helped me 👩🏻‍🎨

[@bobbieherron6972]

Wonderful, thank you so much.

[@iranewhitehouse3953]

Happy Birthday from New Zealand. Love your watercolour. I am a lefty also

[@1msfit]

Thank you so much for doing all these wonderful videos. I’m about to do my first sunset, but the scene is on land so I will have to deal with shadows too. It will be quite a learning experience, but having seen this demo I feel a little more confident in making the attempt.

[@SilviaKarounos]

Exactly that I was needed,thank you so much😊

[@sandywest4299]

very merry brithday to you. hope you have an awesome day and be safe.

[@ranjanachand9306]

Lovely skies thanks

[@katlind]

Really nice and relaxing video. I'd love to see your paintings with the tape taken off, at the end of the video!

[@СергейДрождин-п8й]

Отличная работа!

[@paul-oram]

Great film Olly, very informative.

[@communistcat3226]

Happy birthday Oliver!🎉 For a second there, I wondered why the chocolate palette had similar looking paints 😂 Thought it was one of those shimmery paints

[@DaisyTea1]

Oh happy birthday, Oliver! I'm September as well! 🎉

[@getuptogetdown918]

Thank you, this was brilliant. I was wondering what mixes you used on the sunset painting, in particular the second set of mixes used for the clouds, also the dark mix? Are they all from the three colours which you mention at the beginning? Thanks again 🙏🏻

[@Motormad196]

I love watching your tutorial videos, it’s opened my eyes to how much there is to learn about watercolour painting, and inspired me to have a go again, after not picking up a brush for several years. One question: do you ever use watercolour pencils, are they useful, say, when out sketching?

[@cherylbrewer1218]

Thank you so much for a great video & wishing you a very happy birthday 🎉

[@aliciashackley5830]

Happy birthday Olly 🎉

[@gregwatson9826]
