This is the first part of a series of videos on painting sky from artist and lecturer Scott Naismith.
The series is summarised in this video in 6 simple tips. Later episodes will go onto demonstrations and more specifics.
I do not sell DVDs and provide free video tutorials here on youtube however I'm grateful to anyone who would like to make a donation if they feel the tuition is worthy of it. You can do this at the following link:

Many thanks to Alex Duncan who provided the painting analysed in this video. He sent me it about 6 months ago and is no doubt a master by now if his first 6 months of painting are anything to go by!

I like everything about this painting. It is unique. It is dynamic. It is textural. It is more than a landscape. I like it a lot!!

You are one of the best instructors I have ever listened to! After just watching two or three videos I have learned so much . . . Your color theory was spot on . . . for the first time I really get it . . . bigger brush . . . of course . . . bad photos, bad paintings . . . you have a way of driving home what we all have probablya heard before but it didn't sink in. Thanks and I can't wait to see all of your videos.

Scott, Wow, thank you...finally someone who says it how it is, or how it shouldn't be. I have learnt so much in 12 minutes. I can't wait to watch all your videos on techniques.

[@debramoss2267]

Enjoyed this, really needing direction, so definitely back to the drawing board for me.

[@keatsgipsy9991]

I would love to see this Artist you show here, paint from life - they will naturally achieve wonderful results!

[@charlespeterson4438]

I've just started working my way through your excellent videos. You offer some truly first class tips and advice, and this tutorial is particularly useful. I'm about to go on to the next part. It is so generous of you to go to the trouble of making these films and sharing your expertise. Very many thanks.

Im an interior designer and I've always found it useful to learn from paintings so that I could apply the same rules within the space that I am designing. I find that I learned a lot about colour balance by painting first, weird i know lol Great tips! Thanks so much

[@patriciar9010]

Just the series I've been hungering for! Woot Woot! Thank you Scott!

[@darlenegreenhalgh3126]

[@OdysseusMDA]

Thank you Scott! You're an amazing and super generous teacher with time and tips. All the best

[@DjGee2]

I love your teaching style!! Thank you, you've been a great help!! "What NOT to do, instead of what to do," great!!

[@FranCorpier]

Excellent tips, Scott. I look forward to the series. Just pulled up a painting of mine to view while watching and listening, here. I was missing atmospheric perspective. Looking forward to the series. Love your painting in the background!

[@maxxxieee]

Beautiful! :-)

[@katesegriff1060]

Excellent observations... Nice balanced feedback for an emerging painter!

[@MrMadmandril]

Brilliant! You are an excellent teacher.Thank you for the time and energy you spent on this video.

[@carolsfavorites]

Really enjoying your videos Scott. Thank you so much for sharing your skills!

[@waterboy8999]

Great video Scott. I'm inspired to start the learning process again. I love your work. David

[@CheyAnneSexton]

great way to look at art in general. Loved what you said about not taking away the individuals own way of creating. Art classes can be very damaging that way when they tell you what and how to do it, so I'm really liking your teaching style. off to check out the next one. Do you ever do watercolour?

[@bplatz829]

I'll be waiting patiently for the next video. Great tips.

[@stu7610]

Your a good teacher! I do watercolour but your videos seem quite universally useful.

[@asaroba]

[@ScottNaismithArtist]

The start of a new series on painting skies. However it might as well be called tips on painting

[@milychka2008]

LOVE your paintings ...wow

[@janaforsyth5853]

A BIG thank you! Very practical. Unfortunately at this point I can't avoid painting from photographs as I can only paint when kids go to bed.... at night. But I am trying to find good photos at least. Whenever I am outside I do look at the nature around me and the clouds specially. Clouds are amazing. I can't paint from memory, that will require practice. I am hoping at some point hopefully in the near future I will be able to paint outside. But not for now :(

[@keatsgipsy9991]

Love your videos

[@dshepherd107]

Appreciate this so much!!

[@Margokatt]
