[@marystrickland5748]

This is probably the best demonstration of how to paint clouds that I've come across. The detailed instruction concerning how to techniques, why, color mixing, brushes, and brush techniques is most helpful to an inexperienced artist!

[@mariehodosi3148]

Yes Jerry Yarnell is a wonderful easy to follow for learning painting technique teacher. I've watched him on PBS for quite a while now, actually a few years. His art school is in Oklahoma. Love him.

[@tinamckeage6665]

The best video I've seen also.Thank for your teachings.

[@TinthiaClemant]

May you be well and joyful, Jerry. Thank you. 🌹

[@BreysWays]

Jerry, your way of letting us know how to paint clouds is calming and I want to get back to painting clouds. Some of my first art pieces were of clouds and I loved doing it being a "sky girl." Since a kid, I loved looking at them and when I got into painting, that was what I painted first. The sky is an open canvas to our imagination. ^^*

[@dancedreamzguy9949]

Jerry, you really know how to teach very well. I can see that as you paint, you are thinking about what the student might be thinking and questioning, and so you address those points, along with even more subtle points beginners wonder about. Many thanks. Excellent cloud lesson.

[@Marrio49]

I agree wholeheartedly. He’s a fine teacher indeed. At 73 I am just beginning to paint with acrylics for about a month now. I like seascapes with interesting skies and moving ocean. I’m trying to learn how to create realistic cloud formations and contrasting colors like Jerry shows us.

[@mjjeter7169]

Rocks and Clouds...just what I needed to learn! You sir are brilliant, and a profoundly incredible instructor. Your tutorials leave me in awe! Thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful talent. When I read about you selling your first painting, my heart was with you as you ran home to share the good news with your parents!

[@MOstix13]

You made the process understandable! Fantastic! Thanks very much for sharing your great talent!

[@potomaccrafter]

Beautiful sky! Thank you for the tip to mix the colors with gesso, rather than white paint. Can't believe I didn't know this already--have gone through a lot of expensive titanium white paint!

[@ibrahimop149]

Yes a unique technique

[@vidhound]

Thanks for the upload. I love Jerry Yarnell -- learned a ton from his show & videos. I wonder why on earth 48 of the thousand people who watched this clip would give it a thumbs down...?? Are they just dudes who don't want to watch a painting video? Or maybe they're art snobs who object to his use of gesso or something? Anyway, thumbs up from me. Thanks.

[@celiayounger9202]

vidhound they are stupid negative people who think is joke to do that. they don't know how to paint. you will find these type ''of snake personalities''in people who are only happy when they criticzise someone negatively in their lives, very unhappy people.

[@wolverineprime2886]

+Celia Younger definitely Celia and it isn't just in art either. Certain people see someone do something that looks amazing and think they can't do it so they criticise it and bombard it with hate.

[@dreadnaught3894]

So useful - much appreciated: thank you!

[@mikenino3172]

Pretty good your getting better. I'm still practicing also.

[@karynhatt]

Very nice tutorial, thank you

[@1addyrae]

Yes

[@1addyrae]

Yes, the gesso must be wet for blending. Jerry is using Grumbacher gesso in place of titanium white.

[@MrStubarber]

exellent lesson thanks

[@medinalba]

THANK YOU so much. you are a great teacher. I am waiting to get your DVD's from some of the last TV shows... and I will like to know if you have also books... Thank you. I love your work.

[@gloprn52]

Jerry what brushes do you use looking for some. Love your clouds

[@1addyrae]

Yes, the paint will need to be tacky to begin the next layer or step. Try using a drying agent to speed up the process. Normally your paint will be tacky enough to begin the next step within 24 hrs.

[@1addyrae]

As this is an instructional piece it may not be finished out but Jerry would always do detail finishing to his fine art pieces

[@marilynsisk1733]

How does Jerry keep his Acrylics so workable please?

Oh yes, nether SIDE of the brush!

Thank you. Just learning how to paint clouds. Do you paint with gesso? Love your video.

[@suecalvi9862]

These clouds are beautiful! What paint are you using? Acrylics? How do you get them to stay so workable?

[@maureendibari2384]

Missed not seeing his teaching shows

[@Zionist_Eternal]

I really love your stuff, Mr Yarnell and have followed you for many years. Your explanations and demonstrations serve well your stellar teaching abilities. Albeit, I would that this lesson might have addressed one of the most glaring faux pas made by students and even Ch-ch-ch-Chia-Pet professionals alike and affecting countless rendered skies--i.e., the vertical vanishing point. Granted, you rendered very well the selected photo example provided. But, for students--I assume students your desired primary audience--an example stressing clouds from beneath defining a vertical vanishing point focusing on clouds' graduated "far-to-near" progression opposite that of terrestrial landscape, might serve better? I see so very many upside-down skies. They are like an unscratchable itch, or that crooked wall-hanging at someone else's house that you cannot grasp enough self-control to restrain from straightening the moment backs are turned.
