i am a beginner at watercolor and not having very good results, so hearing you struggle made me feel better, and that I am not a total loser at art!
Have a look at simple paint with Frank
Also a Beginner! We can share our frustrations if u want :)
No ones a loser at art! Everyone can make art, it’s all subjective.
We all strugle in some areas. I seem to have issues with clouds and flowers. So this is refreshing and encouraging
You can never do everything perfectly the first time! There are not losers, just students.
Thanks for also showing things you thought you did wrong and explaining why you thought it went wrong (even though it still looks great in my opinion). Refreshing to see somebody not pretending to be perfect but just showing the process of learning as well.
This whole study was a learning process for me, and I thought it was important to express that journey in this video! Learning never stops, and I’m glad you enjoyed watching!

Yeah love that, thats so great for learning 😊💜
I ça c us B b iK km
one reason why i never wanted to try watercolor is that i thought i couldn't accomplish realism like i can do with oils, this video just showed me otherwise. your art is truly beautiful!
Thank you! If there is a will, there is a way!
I think you are hard on yourself. You paint beautifully. It is inspiring me. I was without any doubt of successful painters in art world, a young talented art student. My mother and then my husband blocked me at every turn. Refusing to let me follow my destiny. Confusing. Now they are long gone from Earth and 2022 I began painting again. This time I began teaching myself watercolor. With help from people like you I am progressing. My passion has always bern light, shadows, reflections. Thank you.
Hello! I really appreciate you taking the time to write this comment, and I am happy to say that I have learned to be easier on myself since making this video. To create art as an adult is a great accomplishment, and I am glad that you have been able to return to painting for yourself! Learning never stops and I am rooting for you. Thank you for your kind comment. ❤
I absolutely loved these cloud studies! My favorite? The bottom right!
Thanks so much!!
For me also...when she said it is her least favorite....A loud No came to my mind...
Same! I loved the middle bottom and the bottom right
Yes so beautiful
I love it
The running commentary while painting is honestly more instructive than any tutorial, because as a beginner I get some insight into the thought process of your art (which I can apply in different contexts) rather than just being told what to do for one specific piece. Super helpful, thanks!
Your Watercolor art is most amazing and i always so impressed and surprised how realistic they look, this is magical 🌄😍🌿🎨
Thank you so much!!
Yes I love doing watercolor too
@@nehasartclub3715 it givess patienceeee

You are wonderful for sharing your talent and inspiring so many of us! At first I didn't want you to downplay your beautiful work by saying you had goofed or should have tried something else, but then I realized that you are helping walk us through something that is not easy, and that makes you an excellent teacher. I'm 70 and recently decided to renew my interest in watercolors. You know how zoos sometimes have gorillas and other animals paint pictures that can then be sold in the gift shops? Sadly, that's what my paintings remind me of.
I have been fighting cancer since 2012 and I guess it's finally going to win. I recently agreed to hospice care, but I'm going to enjoy painting until they carry me off, and you are going to help keep my paintings from being sold at zoo gift shops! Thank you, Noelle. :)
Thank you for your kind comments, I’m glad you understood the purpose of this video. I’m always learning and experimenting, and I wanted to show that there are a lot of trials and errors in painting, so don’t worry yourself about trying something new and becoming discouraged. Enjoy yourself and have fun painting! Don’t concern yourself if your work doesn’t look like another artists work; paint what pleases you.
Pretty soon those zoo animals are going to be jealous of your art, and maybe even some people too!
Really appreciate how you talk about your learning process. Makes me feel like it's not just me struggling sometimes and your clouds came out phenomenal. You got a new subscriber for sure.
You're amazing Noelle, and sooooo humble! Love your content!
That last painting brought so much peace to my soul I can't even explain it
Thanks so much for sharing. Honestly, each one looks great to me. They each have a true variation of the sky and its cloulds.
I am so impressed. Your clouds are so realistic. I love them all.
Love the moody clouds. Brilliantly done!
Nice. Love the calm approach and her technique is spot on
Thank you for sharing your techniques. I thought all of the clouds were very distinctive and beautiful. It’s nice to see all your different techniques and thoughts as You paint. Beautiful work!
Thank you for taking the time and patience to walk us through the options we have to paint clouds helped me avoid many mistakes !
I like middle onces cause their so much HDR, and the last one cause it gives a sense of perspective and warmth, very informative video too
You have explained everything so well, it has become my go to tutorial for rendering clouds and atmosphere. Thank you so much
These painting studies are beautiful!!!
Inspired me so much thank you for sharing!
I am mesmerized by all of the 6 paintings 😍
They're all beautiful!!!! Some of it are cozy to look at! I miss looking at the clouds outside!!! This will be a great help for me to study clouds too~ ❤
Best cloud tutorial I’ve seen so far!
This is an EXCELLENT tutorial for clouds in watercolors! Thank you so much for sharing your process!
I'm glad it was helpful!
I'm diving back into watercolors after years and years of a hiatus and this was a great inspiration! I loved the cloud study and am tempted to do my own now!
thank you for inspiring me. i will also do this cloud study soon. your pieces truns out GREAT!!
Amazing tutorial of painting clouds.thanks for sharing.
This was a lot of fun! Got some good tips and loved how they turned out. Enjoyed your progress, thank you for sharing areas of struggle as well!
It's so therapeutic to watch this process......makes all my worries float away
..on a cloud 😄☁️☁️☁️☁️
haha thank you!
Omg 😱 you show so easy and beautiful to do I loved it!!
Truly wonderful.....
i admire your ability to eye the clouds in your mind and then get them to look so perfect. Takes a lot of patience and not getting easily frustrated :D
I am a beginner..and out of all the sky tutorials...I truly feel this is the best "learning to paint clouds"..I have watched...thank you for sharing your talent
clouds are my favorite to look at and hardest to capture with paint. This video was by far, the best exercise video I have ever seen! What you did well , what you learned from your "mistakes" are so very helpful! Thank you so much!
Pñpñl ok opñ
Thank you for sharing your thoughts while on process. Makes us all think we’re normal that struggles do exist and that doesn’t mean you’re not going anywhere, there’s always room for correction and improvement. You are so real and humble
The trees really did bring the clouds into perspective! Love the addition!
Thank you, I thought so too!
im a sucker for clouds painting 😍💜
Beautiful clouds. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Likely my favourite watercolour cloud video I've watched on TH-cam to date. This is lovely and so fresh and honest; thank you for sharing
This is so wonderful that I will be watching the video over and over. I was stunned at how each cloud suddenly transformed into the real thing. I am inspired to work on clouds myself.
Like your honesty, keep teaching us, thnk you
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much, loved watching your process. 🌅
Really enjoyed this! I think they all look great and yes, adding the trees in the last one suddenly made what we were looking at make sense. Fantastic work! I’ve just brought some water colours and this was what I wanted to attempted for my first study. Watching your work has inspired me and given me a bit more of an understanding on what I’m getting into. Thank you!
I'm in love with the process and the final result 😍
I love how it turned out so much
Totally awesome. As you may agree to someday. I think that using bigger papers helps a lot. But I use acrylics. It also helps to accept the cloud you get instead of comparing it to the idea in your head. To most viewers I think you painted the perfect clouds. It also helps to study how clouds are formed, where and why. This way you can form them as they are formed in nature. Basically they start forming at a certain height and rise upwards and drift away. But after a while they are reshaped and wind and rain tear them apart. For acrylics you mix in 75% of white in the clouds farthest away and make them merge with the sky. Then add more contrast/ drama and clear paint and formations to the closest clouds. Also daytime clouds are harder to paint than evening clouds. Hope this helps and that all ppl start painting big skies. It's really healthy.
This is really helpful, not only for me but for others as well! I agree with everything that you said. Bigger art surfaces make it easier to paint large washes so it’s easier to control details. Understanding the science behind a subject is helpful to draw/paint something too! Thanks for commenting!
Amazing studies! Thank you for the recommendation at the end
Really fantastic. Can't wait to try this inspired exercise. Good instincts on the trees at the end there, you saved it!
You make it look soooo easy. Wow
I totally love your skills and paintings dear. Thanks for making videos for us
色んな空の描き方が分かって良いです！🙌😊
That are so great beautiful!!
A amazing process
Woo ..such wonderful watercolor painting ❤❤❤
Beautiful technique. I am looking forward to seeing more of your awesome videos:)
I like the last try most, at first I couldn't work out what I was looking at, but then you added trees and it all just came together and looked so realistic and beautiful!
WOW, how beautiful! Thank you!
Great video. I like your humility, but all studies came out great. Very inspiring. Thank you.
you saved that cloud so well! u are amazing
Thank you very much for being transparent with your study!!
How entertaining, and a very fine example of why we do studies and how satisfying they can be. I learned a lot from your willingness to share your mistakes and notable successes.
Thank you, it's a great video ! I loved all of the clouds you painted.
Very, very beautiful. Lots to take away, thank you.
Beautifull😍. Your study encourages me to paint again.
Most artists make it seem easy, and I have been beating myself up , so a huge thank you for showing us how much
effort and practice it really takes
Your clouds are spectacular!
Very nice painting! Clouds look great!
So beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial!
Absolutely amazing painting..Great artist 👏
Your drawing process is interesting and relaxing! Thank you showing us the different method in drawing different types of sky !👍🏻🙏🏻💕🏞 I want to have a try next time and take your ways as reference!🌟😊🌻
Thank you for a wonderfully instructive video. I am JUST starting watercolor--and landscape--and struggling with clouds. So your cloud studies with comments were wonderful.
Hard out there is an understatement. Deciding what to do now from my ground zero is daunting. Love the channel and the message! Thank you 🙏🏻
Many thanks for this really informative video. I find clouds very hit and miss and you showed some really interesting techniques! So lovely to hear you critique of your own work! I thought they all looked great!
This is one of the most helpful videos I have seen. It was wonderful that you showed your techniques and critiqued yourself as you went. Well done, and thank you. I feel less intimidated by clouds now.
Wow stunning
Loved the technique. Very handy❤❤❤❤
Well done. Have been doing LOTs of sky studies myself of late. This was great!
Awesome Video! I struggle with clouds and this has given me new techniques to practice.
Thank you for the great explanation of your process.
I love this! Especially the last one! It looks just like a picture I took of a sunset over the tree covered hills, here in Oregon last year. 💕 You really did a beautiful job with this. 😁
Just woww...cant get enough of this...so clearly you have given this demo..really helpful..thanks a million
This has to be the greatest watercolor painting video I have seen in this month (if not year!), I love how it stays true to its title: "study". You did an amazing job but most importantly, it's clear that you learned a lot and shared your thoughts about it without being demeaning to your work. As someone who struggles to experiment and throw myself to try new things because of the fear of not turning the way I expected it, this is truly inspirational and really admirable 💙 I look forward to watch your other videos!!
Omg! I'll start watercolor soon, hope someday I have paintings like this.💕
As a beginner on watercolor i find It very cool the fact that you show a realistic process of your work , its quite useful to see "mistakes" and how to harness them for a still better outcome!
That was fantastic! It’s funny how one artists’ idea of what “looks good” & what doesn’t, is what makes art so great! All of them were fabulous, but I thought the last one, (which you thought was a “mistake,”) was one of the best, in my humble opinion! 👍🏽❤️
Gorgeous little studies. You've inspired me to do similar ones. Thank you! Great technique and strategy.
Thank you! I’m glad you found this video inspiring!
Your watercolor technique is great! this video helped a lot
Wow, I can't even begin to describe how gorgeous all of these are! Thank you so much for sharing and for the tip on the book!!
I'm glad you like them!
I actually really enjoyed the last one, i think you did an excellent job!
I think they all came out beautiful....
wow !! awesome !!! I'm impressed with your amazing skill !!!!!!!!!
I like painting and watercolor's my most favorite medium of art. I love doing landscapes, painting plants and flowers. This study process will surely help me do better in doing my artwork. The selection of colors and the stroke techniques are done very well. Thank you for sharing us your thoughts and talent!
Thanks for being so honest with what you do and explaining where you could have improved it
This is still to this day my favourite “I AM gonna do this!” Video lol every time I feel myself getting like “I can’t…I’ll mess it up…I’m not sure” I watch this cause honestly I think your skys turned out BEAUTIFUL! And yet I can see moments I’ve had myself where I’m like “oh god I’ve messed this up” and didn’t keep on like you did, so didn’t get the amazing results.
I am barely a beginner in watercolor and acrylic painting…I appreciated how you explained everything you did whether it be wrong or write. I thought your clouds were beautiful and the clouds on the bottom middle were my favorite! Thank you!
You did these beautifully. I love sky scenes and am inspired to give this a go after watching you do it. It was so relaxing watching this and the music you used in the background added to the serenity of the experience.
Thank you! I'm glad my cloud studies inspired you! I also like making my videos calm and positive space to retreat to, even if I am critical of myself, it's all about learning and the experience!
Love them especially the first and last one thank u
thank you for all the ideas
It is very useful Noelle... Thanks for helping me to learn the technique :))))
those are wonderful
