Paint like this? Ragged brushes!

There are lots of mistakes a painter can make, but there is one in particular that is easy to avoid. Dutch painter Janhendrik Dolsma lets you in on a practice that can profoundly change your approach to painting.
Dolsma (1950) is an expert painter of clouds, beaches, dunes and of course the ocean. On his KZbin channel he shares a lifetime of painting experience in short tutorial videos with an emphasis on painting clouds. His full length tutorials (over 60 minutes) have found their way to buyers all over the world. Full tutorials can be found here: www.paintingsk...
Dolsma participated in exhibitions in the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, Taiwan, Spain, Belgium and the USA.

Thank you for your god advice , regarding old paintbrushes oooh! They really do the paintings of Grass much better than one at a time brush stroke with very fine brushes , such a time saver xx thank you also for sharing the techniques of shading . Helen Kirrage x

[@PaintingSkies1]

I'm really pleased to hear the video has been helpful, Helen. One at a time brush stroke never worked for me, and believe me, I tried. If you want to find out more about my painting technique: www.paintingskies.com/.

Nice idea removing underlying paint, you can use shop towels they work wonderfully....and great for cleaning brushes while painting.. And when painting on canvas or MDF...

[@PaintingSkies1]

Thanks for the tip, Joy. For the time being I got enough ragged T-shirts to help me out for a couple of years.

[@saltlifegull4091]

Don't really understand what a sketch painting is and what you do with them when finished? Are they paintings for sale or just what exactly? Thanks Jan - love it!! Outstanding commentary that's not only useful, but gives us insight into your thoughts and techniques.

[@PaintingSkies1]

I often do oil sketches in preparation of a commission, or just for fun. I sometimes offer them for sale on my website (www.janhendrikdolsma.nl/paintings/). Good to hear you find the commentary useful!

[@michelevandenbranden6977]

Magnifiques votre travail est remarquable 🎨 j'étudie votre travail depuis quelques années.. dommage que vous ne puissiez pas faire la traduction en français..? J'aurais pu alors acheter vos vidéo tutoriels!

[@PaintingSkies1]

Merci beaucoup pour vos aimables paroles. Malheureusement, il m'est impossible de répondre à toutes les demandes de réalisation de mes vidéos dans une langue autre que l'anglais. Allemand, anglais, français, espagnol, portugais...

[@bobbyknox9258]

Master of clouds. I wanted to see the whole painting at the end but those thumbnails for the other vids blocked the final view

[@PaintingSkies1]

Yes, that is annoying. Next time I will make the end shot of the painting a little longer. For now, you could click this link to see the full painting: www.janhendrikdolsma.nl/paintings/index.php?action=showPainting&id=157.

@@PaintingSkies1 fantastic. Thanks. Those clouds are exquisite

[@hamstereggz]

May I ask what is the purpose of the white frame your place around the photo?

[@PaintingSkies1]

The frame isolates the image from it's surroundings. It allows you to see it without outside stuff interfering.

[@elanabines4634]

Hi I like to know do you have demonstration done on canvas? Thank you from New York.

[@PaintingSkies1]

No, I'm sorry, Elena. I paint on MDF panel or on paper.

[@jefs2928]

can you indicate how long in real time you painted on this painting , and are there drying fase in between ? or is it fully wet in wet ?

[@PaintingSkies1]

Hard to say, Jef, I was filming the process at the same time. But based on previous experience, I'd say between 4 and 6 hrs.

[@georginachapa]

Great painting! What kind of paper is it? Do you prime the paper? Thanks! 🙌🏻

[@PaintingSkies1]

The paper I use is from a Canson bloc. It doesn't need priming. I did a KZbin video on doing oil sketches on paper: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zme1hX-Xral5erc. Hope it's helpful.

[@learnartwithwills6198]

This is a philosophy I enjoyed, I often use old decorators brushes as well as my old hogs hair ones. It's great to see your techniques in detail. New subscriber here, if you have time please visit my relatively new channel...new channel, old artist. Hoping to go through your back catalogue...it's always a school day, Wills

[@PaintingSkies1]

Thanks Wills! Visited your channel. Love how you explain the basics. I noticed you don't have a subscribe button and you don't use cards and endscreens in your videos. They can be quite useful to increase the number viewers. Maybe check out a tutorial on KZbin on the subject. Lots of succes!

[@learnartwithwills6198]

@@PaintingSkies1 Thank you for that advice, I shall give that a try, it's all new to me. I will be putting out a new video soon, another paint in the style of film, Vincent van Gogh this time, I would like your feedback if you have time. Thanks again, Wills
