  • Here is a preview of my Online Painting Lessons. You can visit www.timgagnon.com for more information and to sign up. Please email me at tim@timgagnon.com if you have any questions.
    This preview shows a short demonstration on simple puffy clouds. The technique is to just use an opaque white paint and allow the background to show through in some areas to create shadows. A simple technique that can be mastered after a little practice.
    Thanks for watching!

    I am a beginning painter. Tim's technique he shows here has let me paint the most satisfying clouds since I've started. I have searched the web, books and everything I could think of. But this lesson here has been the best for me. Thank you Tim so much for this. I'm really enjoying clouds now. I took up painting for stress relief. Now painting has given me some stress! But this has taken a lot of the stress out of it. What really nice clouds you can paint with this.

  • @MrTellyBelly
    @MrTellyBelly 8 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    So many people asking what brush the up loader is using takes me back to when I was learning photography (over 35 years ago eek!!) and everyone needed to know what aperture and shutter speed the photographer used to take a picture. Now that I am getting into painting its the brush size and is the paint wet. History repeating itself!! Maybe I'll stop painting because I don't know what brush is being used or watch loads more youtube videos....or maybe I'll take a general pointer from this video and go and try different brushes and wet and dry backgrounds and discover for myself - that sounds fun. Which takes me back to my photography where I actually only improved when I got out there and started taking lots of pictures and then I didn't even care what aperture/shutter speed another photographer used...most of the time I could pretty much guess correctly by the look of the photograph.

      on another video about painting clouds the guy said to use a filbert brush. He's the guy with a very southern accent, his brush was a bit bent because he said he didn't take care of it. He also used different brushes, like a 2 inch brush and just used the edge of the brush, Bob Ross uses the same size brush and also paints clouds that way, too.

    • @gossamerwings3632
      @gossamerwings3632 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      a filbert brush would be good to use, also i bought a 1/4 inch brush recently that is rounded but expensive but great for painting clouds, i think try using different brushes like a fan brush, too. Remember these vids are ok for tips but afterwards everyone will find what works best for them, it's trial and error no matter what these people on these vids recommend.

    Ok everyone, it turns out I had bought a cloud painting tutorial from Tim like five years ago, and forgot about it. I'm re-watching it now. It's not this exact video, but it's similar. So here's the deal: he uses hog bristle brushes, usually filberts or rounds, and he does use a mister bottle to keep the paint a little more workable, with four or five drops of a slow-dry medium in the water bottle.

      @@krizellekatearana1344 Yes, this is very frustrating. He also mentions using "Liquid White" in the video, so I'm wondering if it'a actually an oil painting lesson that is mislabeled, or if he's using a fluid acrylic of some kind. But I've never been able to achieve this effect, and the technique is very straight forward, so I'm convinced there is more to it, and he's leaving those critical points out of the video.

    @azurechaos5353 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    To be fair, he does say to email him with any questions.
    Some brands of acrylics are runnier than others, making them flow a little easier. I find it best to experiment with what you have & see how it comes out. You can always make it a touch more liquid by adding a little water or a flow medium (I prefer water, you often just need a teeny bit, a little goes a long way & too much makes it more transparent). I wouldn't use gesso. You *can* buy liquid acrylic, but why spend if you don't need to?

    @cuijiashousinacom 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    It depends on the type of brush you want, there are the Chinese type, round and easily broken, good for drawing lines. Fan brush, good for drawing grass, normal brush, good/medium in just about everything, especially the smaller ones. A set usually costs about 10 bucks i believe... but there are better ones, which costs more, you can buy a medium brush, and cut the hair to make it smalle, fitting to your use.
