[@paulfoote7869]

Your clouds look great but, you have very poor audio. If you are going to do tutorials, you need better audio - it's distracting. It would have helped if you'd shown how to paint a cloud from start to finish instead of working on clouds you'd already painted. Hard to tell what you were accomplishing.

[@aurelienani204]

he spent all his money on cerulean blue, if he had used phthalo he would have had money left over to buy audio equipment

[@debrahockenberry5440]

+Paul Foote I could here him just fine. This was just 3 quick tips not an entire tutorial.

[@christocr]

+Aurelie Nani Phthalo blue? Sure. His painting would look like it belonged in Mardi Gras or a circus. Way too strong. I do have a tube of it lying around somewhere. It came with a set I bought years ago. It's the only blue I never use. Way too brash for me. Cobalt Blue, Maganese Blue, Antwerp Blue, Cerulean Blue, Prussian Blue, Ultramarine Blue... yes. All useful. Phthalo Blue? No thanks, I'll pass. Of course, it's a matter of preference. Your mileage may vary. As for the audio. Yeah, it's level is low. But there is this thing called a "volume knob." Maybe y'all have heard about it somewhere.

[@paulfoote7869]

+deb hockenberry Apparently you are the only person who thinks the audio was fine.

[@1951jmds]

+christocr poor sound but great clouds

[@zajournals]

Would have liked close up views when you were actually panting.

[@raffahotmail6944]

he has NOT painted a single cloud in this video and HE was NOT interested in making sure you really understood how to make the clouds, this is a selling pitch for his web site where he sells the lessons!

[@pleromicpastry5445]

@@raffahotmail6944 First of all, the video claims to offer 'tips' not a lesson in how to paint clouds. He was showing how to make cloud shadows in this little lesson which is where most beginners struggle, with the values and temperatures of the colors between the shadows and the highlights. Also, in the real world people need money to live. There is no shame in giving people a taste of something so they can decide whether they want to buy it. Artists deserve to be paid for their talents.

[@daikayll1897]

Well said. Some people are NEVER happy.

[@nicholasmoore8043]

The tips are very good, and I like how you explain what you're doing, but I can't see what you're doing; your painting is already quite far along, and is in the midground while you're in the foreground.

[@nicholasmoore8043]

As you say, the clouds are in the foreground in your painting, but you're in the foreground of your video. lol.

[@CLIVE5ART]

Hi I like the way you explain your work and admire the detail in your work regards Clive Powell of clive5art

[@bertrv6]

Volume to low. wouold love to see this again when i do nothave to strain, to hear you

[@lolitasarkane8814]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us - clearly extremely spoiled and ungrateful human kind :)I now have all the techniques I need including the colors to paint my clouds one day. When I own that round dome shaped sceiling :)Thanks! From the bottom of my heart!

[@sorenutube]

Volume to low and lens to far away from brush:)

[@CnithTheOnliestOne]

There's a thing called the volume button/slide... might want to use that... Lens too far away? I suspect that's so you can buy his workshop...this is a teaser, in a sense.

[@anitathompson5828]

I am really having trouble hearing you on this video. This is exquisite and would LOVE to learn how to do clouds like yours!

[@kathleensullivan9014]

I don't get the complaints about the audio; for me, it was loud and clear. Either he redid it, or the complainers have hearing or equipment problems. Wonderful clouds and tips. Thanks, Tim

[@LunaNik]

Your clouds look superb, but I can't follow your tutorial because I can't hear you even with both video and computer volume at maximum. I suggest editing in a voiceover and/or adding text.

[@markmcstone5132]

Seriously!!! I stopped your video in the first minute. I couldn't hear a thing...

[@gagnonstudio]

I'm uploading a follow up video to this with close up shots, should be up in about 30 minutes. :)

[@dpaint6268]

cannot hear you very well. I am guessing your microphone was too far away?

[@dcole513]

Awesome painting! Thanks for the tip. Maybe next time I will be able to hear what you're saying without hooking my laptop to a sound system cranked to 70. I do enjoy your work!

[@nanetteyvonne1222201]

Thank you!! This helped my art! *:D

[@youxiaaixuoy]

clouds look great but how do ya paint em'?

[@youxiaaixuoy]

clouds look great but how do ya paint em'?

[@kezadrone]

Far superior to Bob Ross clouds. Your clouds are like the great movie matte painters clouds. Those guys can take 70 grand a painting. Damn nice work sir.

[@johncoulter8023]

I like your video but it would be much more helpful if we could actually see what you're doing. We don't need to see you as much as we need to see your brushstrokes and your hand and what you are actually creating - then add shots of yourself and the whole painting.

[@bjp7777]

I am just beginning. Clouds are a huge challenge. Thanks for the teaching and I would also like for you to slow down the time lapse

[@Mohammed77757]

I don't know why people are complaining about volume. I'm watching the video on my macbook pro and I'm having no audio issues. It isn't the video that's the issue.

[@sallykinder622]

inspiring I havn,t painted for 6yrs cant wait to get started again but I have to be in the mood otherwise I just cant paint

[@stellamarisvarrone7663]

Quisiera ver los videos en idioma español, para escuchar la explicación

[@gagnonstudio]

I have a few portrait lessons on my site now, and am working on some new animal ones as well. thanks for posting!

[@risenfromthepyre]

Thanks for the tips And a good reminder that the sky is more than a backdrop for a landscape but a very integral part.

[@stormcorrosion176]

THEDUDE exactly bro

[@DG-ri1lp]

just put earphones on and you can hear just fine :)

[@juliebeaudreux1345]

[@MysticJounin]

I farted on my cats eyes this morning

[@happystar7777]

Derek Yew thank you 🙏

[@luked8695]

How nice

[@stormcorrosion176]

Get the fuck out of here, ya numb lump.

[@theodoredavis8055]

Tim, Your work is truly wonderful. Even though I have been painting since I was 10, (62 now) your tips and video are quite handy. I wish somehow you could show the mix of the paint as it transforms. Don't stop painting...Maybe one day we will both be as good as Canstable...Peace, and thanks again.

[@gagnonstudio]

Round brush in this video, but you can use a filbert as well.

[@miaw.5819]

Can you do a 2019 cloud video? What type or shaped brush do you use?

[@johnmartinez3437]

Very disappointing..... could not hear one word

[@tuckerlewis894]

Try turning up your volume.... I can hear him fine just need to turn volume up

[@MissRuthless]

Please do some zoom in shots when you are explaining the details, thanks love your work! :)

[@MegaGodzilla1968]

Best cloud demo I've seen, thanks Tim! Do you ever use a grisaille underpainting before adding color layers? Thanks for posting this and for the information.

[@elicohencohen]

The audio is really bad...I can't heard anything.

[@shadowstarr7]

Thank you Tim for these cloud tips. I'm learning oils and my first piece is an ultramarine blue & titanium white landscape. I'm still working on my clouds, they've gone from 'cotton buds' to pretty close, and these tips will help me to soften off the edges (which is my main issue right now). Thanks!

[@MrHaystackSteve]

Can't hear you.

[@gagnonstudio]

I use synthetic bristles a lot, but sable works great for clouds because of their soft touch.

[@jeanbonds5902]

I like your work and I think you're doing a wonderful job I can understand and I will take the time to practice it that's a good 3 tips thank you

[@jjtsmom]

Come closer. Closer... closer.

[@carrieanschutz-hunsader7612]

Killer painter. But you are far too advanced to be giving these advanced tips to beginner painters. Back to watching Bob Ross. The KING!

[@DineseBeckert]

Great tips Tim! Are you using any Paynes grey here? I was trying to read your Pallett...🤗🤗

[@pilotsmother]

You really ARE a master of clouds, and I sure do envy you

[@makkra7565]

Thank you for your advices for clouds. But from camera angle clouds looks like a smoke isn't it? Sorry....

[@jauharacare2679]

can't hear a word you're saying, and the volume is all the way up☹️

[@sheldnereardon5692]

I to cant hear ,such a pity

[@catchkphere]

You don't really intend on teaching anything over this video... do you? I would appreciate if you simply stood next to your painting and said "pay me and I will teach you how to paint this"

[@matthewmeier1120]

Who the fuck doesn't listen to their own video before posting it? Maybe zoom in and wear a mic. Then, repost.

[@pauldutra7366]

These comments are correct, great tips but what good are they if the audio is so poor. I have the volume to the max and the audio is still barely understandable and highly muffled. I hope your instructional videos do not have this issue.

[@2thatonegirl16]

low volume, a LOT of talking, but saying very little. keeps repeating himself.

[@2footage266]

Can you pls do an acrylic painting but with same exact clouds but you know the ones that don’t have as my lines and ridges etc? More flat kinda huge parts that look almost white only .

[@EricSareyka]

Brief and crisp the chief features of clouds explained. Thanks!

[@kathyjohnson310]

Please get a better microphone, just couldn't hear. I'm sad because you're clouds look great!

[@reahnonya8578]

Very poor sound. My volume is up all the way and can barely hear. It's choice of hear or watch. Not good at all.

[@pjbk3838]

You talked about the colors you used for the sky, clouds, and shadows, however when you used darker than the sky you didn't say what colors you used??

[@smurfpapa8233]

hey...what surface do u paint on canvas,masonite?and whats easier to work on for beginner

[@RobertJonesWightpaint]

The advert preceding the demo is deafeningly loud; turn it down and you can't hear what follows - so, in response to some who have commented, mute the advert, then up the volume when the demo starts. I think my ears are bleeding...... Great demo, though.

[@confiscator]

It would be great if you could intercut some tight shots to give us a clearer picture of your technique. Also, this vid was very hard to hear. Notwithstanding that, excellent tutorial, as always.

[@celticfreebird3642]

Hello Tim...do you ever have a problem with hairs coming out of your brushes (am I doing something wrong?) and have you finished this? I would love to see the end result....love your art

[@jane25449]

what is the base color for the top cloud-- sky and white? what are it's shadow colors?? This is great stuff Tim. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. It really gives a hand up.

[@chesterbloom]

You should invest in a microphone. Top it off with a flood light and BOOM! Video quality increase 10 fold

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Is this guy kidding? I can't even hear him. The clouds are great though.

[@vp21vp56cva59]

I cannot hear him seems the microphone is on the other side of the studio. Other than that your videos and techniques are impressive and most helpful. Thank you.

[@darylwinn5710]

Good lesson but it would've been better if you would have told us the brush strokes you used to create these great looking clouds.

[@diedrebrown4257]

I gave this a thumbs down because the volume onnthi video is too low and the illustration did not start from the beginning.

[@thezzach]

Funny that this artist doesn’t understand that showing how to paint clouds is worth more than the thousand words he’s trying to use to describe it. Duh

[@janechampion9881]

the sound is so poor which is a pity as I like your work but the lack of saound is too distracting to watch the videoi.

[@bradlymorgan4351]

Thanks alot. Very helpful

[@aimeelawrence-bespokefurni575]

Thankyou so much for explaining about the warm colours giving more dimension. I have been really struggling trying to get a variety of clous (shapes). Any tips would be greatly appreciated 🙏

[@matgiprats8563]

Graciaas Campeon, bonita clase. un abrazo desde Mallorca

[@pamelawedemeyer9010]

Please turn up the volume. I have everything turned up on high and can barely hear you. Thanks, Pam

[@elsiekuh3559]

Love what I'm seeing, but I can barely hear your instructions...sorry! Would like your site, but when I can't hear you....

[@hughiedavies6069]

I'm half deaf so I could only hear this if I put my ear next to the speaker 🔊

[@mooshieloo1281]

Great tips, but so hard to hear this. Even with volume turned up full. There's also a really bad echo, which doesn't help.

[@rc7baldonado313]

AWESOME!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, I have trouble with my clouds, this video was so very helpful!

[@weddinglady38]

Can't hear a word you are saying and you didn't start from scratch, so no good to me!

[@tinksfineart4784]

Okay, I have questions... I watched another video of yours that has the dark on the edges with the light in the valleys of the clouds and that works. Then this has the light on the edges and the dark in the valleys, and THAT works. How is that possible?!

[@gagnonstudio]

You see both types of highlights in nature. A lot of time it depends on the moisture in the cloud, or what type of cloud it is. You can get away with both techniques, or combine the two for even more depth.

[@sandrahill608]

could not hear a thing you were saying. and very dark, cant see what you are doing

[@777777657]

y volume is set high and it sounds like you are miles away. Turn up your volume please!!m

[@betinaveile1904]

Werry bad sound on this video, can't hear a thing...

[@valdoevans-fineartamerica2690]

Painting clouds

[@comcord_team]

great clouds but wish I can hear what you are saying..

[@craigcook1030]

Invest in a clip-on mic and an additional camera set up to capture close ups.

[@777777657]

please paint while you are talking. it is nice to see what you are talking about.

[@OneDawkinsFan]

Interesting video. But next time please adjust your microphone audio correctly!

[@terihooverartandphotography]

not sure what the volume problem is- but a way around it is to use ear buds. GREAT tips!

[@jcepri]

would be great to see you actually paint this vs. discuss it

[@Bluesidian]

The clouds look very well done, too bad i couldn't hear a THING the man said.

[@mwh82108]

you need some broc with that califlower! need to blend out edges so it dont look like a cornacopia ! keep practicing youull get it one day

[@dorar6123]

That was so cool. This is something I've been wondering about, thank you very much.

[@ariannecat]

Can't hear what you're saying! too bad- no sound!

[@LietteMonicShaman]

Thank you so much for your lesson on clouds! I was trying to figure out a way to get my clouds to pop and you explained it perfectly. Thanx again and keep them coming! Oh, the audio I could hardly hear and I had everything set to the loudest limit and still had trouble hearing. Just thought you should know. Have a great evening!!!

[@Gabi-px1gj]

Terrible!could not understand.....sorry😒

[@HairGlitter]

Cool thankyou for sharing your abilities!

[@5englerfamily]

what easel do you have? or recommend?

[@marwaabulenein693]

That’s the best video I’ve ever seen about cloud painting, so simple and definitely to the point

[@pudgieperalta]

Nice but I don't know warm and cool colors.

[@volkermersch2586]

Very good explaining, today i was really thinking of painting that kind of clouds,

[@55sarajevo]

nothing special, you don't know what is left and what is right side.

[@mikeclancy4956]

thanku so very much.....this was quite helpful....(mikes wife)

[@scottbrenham1341]

Very realistic looking lighting and shadow takes practice using the imagination. Nice work

[@vaidanubhav]

show from starting else don't
