  • In this demonstration, Peter Woolley will show how the technique of 'Stopping Out' can be used to create a complex cloudscape.
    With care and practice, it's possible to vary the intensity of the area you lift out and create subtle graduations. In this way, it's possible to to blend it into the surrounding wash so that you can't see the join.

    Beautiful technique! It's repetitive that it becomes second nature. I feel that you won't go wrong as you keep on building and elaborating on the clouds. This may be the answer to my frustration. Thank you for sharing your gift!

    I particularly like the bold use of darker grays here . We all know once watercolors dry they seem lighter than when first put down . The final effect of multiple layering is wonderful as it gives us the whole tonal range . Bravo

    Thank you Peter ☁️... I believe this is the most effective way to produce a realistic cloud base for any watercolour painting I have ever seen. There are some armature painters on YT whom degrade those of us whom like to use tissues to lift out ( stop out) !
    I love the end result, beautiful. 👏🏻

    I don’t know why you don’t necessarily “like” the “lift-out” technique Peter, because you’ve mastered it, and those are some of the most beautiful watercolor clouds that I’ve seen! 👍🏽

    • @peterwoolleyartist
      @peterwoolleyartist  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Ambrose - I still have reservations, but I think I'm warming to it (and I'm using the lift-out technque in other places too)

    • @ambroseavery5229
      @ambroseavery5229 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@peterwoolleyartist I think clouds are made for watercolor, and in my humble opinion, the “lift-out” technique that you use should not only be utilized without reservation; you’ve proven to me that it is a “must-have,” invaluable “tool” to have in our artistic-toolbox! THANKS! Subscribed!

    This turn out beautiful. I've tried to paint clouds in watercolor many times & used the method you showed here. Mine of course are near as beautiful as yours came out, but practice makes perfect. I sure hope so! Using 200 lb paper I realize must make a big difference, I've only used 140 lb. So now I'll try it with the 200 lb. Its very easy to destroy your paper very fast if not careful, or even if you are careful. This is the fourth video I've watched of yours & I've learned quite allot from them all, even though they weren't very long. So thanks very much for each one and the fun ideas I learned. The sheep were by far the most fun!😊
