[@nvfineartstudio7296]

I'm glad you liked it and thank you for subscribing! 😊

[@GJ-vj4lj]

On the tutorials in the beginning it must be that your paper is on a slope. The colors all seem to run down when wet. Thats a great idea when painting clouds. Thank you for this tutorial!

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

Thank you GJ! Yes, I always paint at an angle. When you paint watercolor flat it is hard to control whether it goes up down left or right. If it's a slope, I always know it will go down, the greater the slope the faster it runs.

[@quinnfitzpatrick7507]

Beautiful work and great instruction! What brand and size brush are you using?

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

Thank you! I usually use Escoda Aquario #18, #14 and NEEF natural mops #6, 4 and #2. For details Escoda Perla#12

[@dontmindme2764]

Thank very much, now my painting looks amazing.👌🙏🙏

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

I'm very glad it helped!

[@musicomane33]

Very interesting! Very good! I would like to ask which card must be used to have these effects! I use a 100% cotton and 300 gr paper. Is that enough or do you need a heavier card? Sometimes when I try to remove color with a dry brush, I cannot remove it because the color has already dried! Thanks and congratulations because she is very good!

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

300gsm is a good thickness for paper up to 1/4 sheet size. But brand of the paper also matters. I'd recommend Saunders Waterford. Also, if you want to lift the paint, don't wait until it's dry. If it's dry, wet it with clean water, wait while water absorbed, and then carefully lift. If you use cheaper paper (Amazon's for example) lifting might damage it. Another important thing, staining colours are much harder to wash out from any paper.

[@musicomane33]

@@nvfineartstudio7296 Thank you!!!

Thank you!

[@veenitadar2476]

After doing the clouds when you start working in reflections the bottom part of paper would have dried. Do you wet that part again or you just work very fast so that the portion of sky and water remain wet?

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

If you do an initial "pre-wet" before painting and then do you fist wash, it actually stays wet for at least half an hour (you need good cotton paper). It's enough time to get clouds done and get to the reflection. But if it dries, you have 2 options: 1. Paint on dry and soften the edges with a damp clean brush; 2. Re-wet the paper with a large brush, and then paint on wet. Completely different approach is to paint only the sky, when it's completely done paint the water. Hope this helps.

[@Pebble_kun]

what brush are you using? nice video, very helpful thank you : D

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

Mop 8mm Squirrel, Mop 6mm Mix Squirrel/synthetic, flat 20mm synthetic.

[@renmuffett]

Sometimes the clouds in my area are very pink. So pink with a Cerulean sky & so pretty its surreal. I always think I should paint them but so far have not. I thought it wouldn't be convincing enough.

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

So true! There are so many beautiful moments in nature....I always think if I paint this no one would believe me ☺️ but on the other maybe it's good when it looks unbelievable on paper, nowadays people seem to be more inclined to buy pieces like that.

большое спасибо

[@tombarrettart]

do you pre-wet your paper before the first wash for the sky?

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

Hi Tom, it depends what I want to achieve, pre wetting will extend the damp paper time but will illuminate the possibly of hard edges, but sometimes I need them. Here is an example where I pre-wet kzbin.info/www/bejne/oF6tkK2frs1ofKc Here is an example where I don't pre-wet kzbin.info/www/bejne/laCkh4h5asysaLc

What ever you paint somewhere there will be a sky to match it

Thanks Vicki!

[@viridian4388]

You forgot to mention whether to let the first layer dry or not.

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

Apologies, in theory, if you want soft edges it's best to paint wet on wet (do not dry first layer) if you want hard edges wet on dry (dry first layer). With clouds best to do wet on wet.

[@december_2478]

Clouds are like the hardest thing for me😂😭😂😭

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

I know, right...they always have the mind of their own🤦

[@kyle1562]

I believe your reflection clouds are upside down

[@nvfineartstudio7296]

Nothing has to be perfect :) that's the beauty of art!
