I just had an inspired idea for a painting involving a sunny sky as well as a stormy one. Immediately went to TH-cam & your tutorial was the best i found for storm clouds. Thank you for sharing your gift!!
Tim Gagnon I have been falling you since 2006. I bought one of your 12 lesson sets several years ago, learned so much. Just wanted to say I loved watching your journey through the years. I spent many evenings painting along with you. your work just keeps get more and more amazing. thank you for sharing your gift.
Great painting. I love landscapes and I've enjoyed your art for quite some time. I also like this length of video. Perfect snacking length. Thanks so much for sharing. Cheers.
I am learning a great deal from your online lessons of your site.Your basic landscape fundamental lessons is mind blowing.Namaste from Nepal and when it comes to painting you have been my guru n inspiration.
Clouds are one thing that I can paint yet. This technique looks easier than others that I have try and fail hahaha. I will try this and hope for the best. thank you for sharing.
agree very much, when he put his talent out there for free on facebook during the lockdown... just made me admire him even more for helping so many through this time
So glad to see you doing more videos. This one was absolutely wonderful. I've been a patron of your online lessons for years now and love all of your online lessons. Only thing I would change about this is soften the music volume, it was distracting. But other than that, this is perfection, and should bring more business in. And, for those who cannot afford lessons just now (though your online lessons are very reasonably priced), you are giving a wonderful gift with the new videos like this. Thanks Tim
Needed tips for making a stormy sky for my first oil painting of a ship in a storm. This is perfect! Youre so good at instructing so simply with these different steps
agreed definitely, I liked acrylics more before because it wasnt as complicated. But now with my dads help (who favours oil paints) Ive started my first oil painting and its MUCH easier to spread out and blend together
Thank you for your clear and well paced instruction. It’s a beautiful painting and a great inspiration to work from. As a beginner to clouds I have learnt a lot from you in just this one video.
Really enjoyed this one! You're great at explaining in detail the "how" and "why" you are adding the next step of a painting and then showing it all come together. Cheers! 😎🎨🔥🔥
I’ve been trying to hone in my painting desires by watching stuff on TH-cam and over the last few years it’s been fairly rough with actually learning anything . This was my first visit here and probably the most helpful and understanding to me since I’ve begun this painting journey of mine! Maybe I’m just thick headed but you explained it and showed in such a way that I feel like I finally got a better idea on good cloud depth and coloring for my favorite style of darker stormy style clouds. Thanks for sharing your talents as I will continue to follow and hopefully gain a bit more knowledge! Really great stuff thank you!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! I'm glad I can help. I try to just simplify my explanation rather than get too far into the theory of everything. I think it works well as I've seen great progress with people I've taught over the years. There is always time to tweak things based on theory, but to get a basic understanding is always my first priority. Thank you again!
Wow. If our elementary school art teachers would have just taken our scribble painting and had us blend it a bit, we could be making clouds together. They should make teachers watch this. Maybe I can be more help to the grandkids.
@@gagnonstudio Do you treat your canvas with a base coat? Is it necessary, preferable, or of little concern? And how do you feel about painting on wood vs canvas and what pretreatment of wood is needed if any. Sorry for so many questions but if you have videos which address these issues please link. I have more boards than canvas!
Tim, are you going to put the full lesson of this up on your site? I did pretty good keeping up with your short lesson here, but want to delve into the full one. Thanks.
Tim, I haven't used oils in years. This is a good time to pull them out again; what mediums are you working with? I'm loving those subtle colors blending through the grays.
I'm mostly a pencil artist. I painted something for my towns charity event, had fun. Now I'm going from level 2 to level 20 and love naval history so I'm going to paint 2 ships in the 1700s under a stormy sky doing broadside. Only trick is the sky. So here I am. Annnnnnd go.
Hi Tim, great to see your videos again. I have purchased several of your DVD’s, both oil and acrylic. I love them, learned a lot. My question is what brush do you use especially for blending the clouds? Mine always come out kinda streaky. Thanks!
I like using a large flat brush with soft bristles. It's considered a "background" brush. You can find more detail on that brush on my website www.timgagnon.com. Any large soft bristle brush will do well with blending.
Hi Keith, Yes I add a little bit of Neo Megilp made by Gamblin. I just dip my brush into the medium to add a tiny little bit to the paint to make it go on the canvas a little smoother.
Does anyone see the face in the sky? If not, look at it from the left side angle… creepy! I’m sure he didn’t intend to pain it but, is clearly visible. Makes you wonder😱
Tim watching this lesson has given me an epiphany. I’ve be struggling in my head why I am struggling to get back into painting again after 25 yrs. It’s because I like working with oils better. So away with the acrylics I’ve been using again. Cheers
I use a medium to make the paint a little thinner which allows it to cover the surface faster. I use NEO MEGILP made by Gamblin for paintings I want to dry faster, or I'll use linseed oil for a painting I don't mind staying wet longer.
I’d be a dedicated subscriber if only you would tell your TH-cam audience what colours you’re actually using. I’m not learning much without these important details.

Love it! Looks easy enough for me to try, I hope I finally get a nice stormy cloud. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art talent.💙
Clouds are one thing that I can paint yet. This technique looks easier than others that I have try and fail hahaha. I will try this and hope for the best. thank you for sharing.
Beautiful. I need to sit down and try this. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
Thank you! I hope you try it!
This is absolutely gorgeous! 😍 I think there's so much emotion in this stormy landscape 👍👌🤗❤
Thank you!
Tim is the master of not just clouds but art in general, he is a truly gifted man, and very lovely as well :}
Thank you! :)
agree very much, when he put his talent out there for free on facebook during the lockdown... just made me admire him even more for helping so many through this time
apparently you have never heard of Janhendrik Dolsma ?
@@doctormarazanvose4373 yes of course have heard dolsma but my opinion is tim is better simple
@@notboverd2216 Specsavers - even simpler
Just when i got stuck in my dark menacing clouds painting 😊 thanks!!!!!!
Thank you Tim. This is fantastic in every way! I’m about to give it a go on my outback landscape. ( Margaret, Australia)

Thank you, and thank you for the suggestion on the music. I'll adjust that some for the next one. I appreciate the feedback and support.
my thoughts exactly.
Needed tips for making a stormy sky for my first oil painting of a ship in a storm. This is perfect! Youre so good at instructing so simply with these different steps
Blendability is the reason why oils are so much better than Acrylics for this type of painting.
I agree :)
try Atelier Interactive paints if you want acrylic that blend
agreed definitely, I liked acrylics more before because it wasnt as complicated. But now with my dads help (who favours oil paints) Ive started my first oil painting and its MUCH easier to spread out and blend together
Try gouache..
i have purchased one of your tutorials and it has helped me so much, this just helps me even more so thank you your a legend and wonderful artist :}

Threatening storm!❤
Thanks... appreciate you sharing. As a self taught painter I love learning more techniques! Your work is perfect.
Thank you so much!

Tim you're so handsome and cute just like your paintings!
Thank you, that is a very kind thing to say :).

THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH. I WAS DOING LIGHTENING AND COULD NOT GET IT TO GLO. YOU DiD IT👍😃💯🙏🙏
Hi Gorgeous work. What type of large brush do you use. I mean the brush hair. I have a badger one I think.
Fantastic demonstration - thank you!
Brilliant , so well explained
It's like a dream ❤
another fabulous painting! may i ask, what do you use with your paint? liquin, linseed oil, gel? thankyou
thanks your nice video.very beautiful dark clouds
Thank you!
I'm trying this. Thanks!
Beautiful and very helpful, thank you 🙏 🥰
Great work
Amazing!♥️
Beautiful Tim! I still haven't tried oils, stuck on acrylics for now. Will you be doing the Membership again next year?
You are not painting a cloud-you are creating a real stormy day!
Sometimes those are the best days! :) Thanks for commenting.
Amazing video and canva 🖤
Beautiful clouds! Can you do this with acrylic medium? Thank you 😊🎨
Tim, are you going to put the full lesson of this up on your site? I did pretty good keeping up with your short lesson here, but want to delve into the full one. Thanks.
Beautiful technique and excellent tutorial. But I missed the exact color you started with…
Tim, I haven't used oils in years. This is a good time to pull them out again; what mediums are you working with? I'm loving those subtle colors blending through the grays.
The only medium I use here is Neo Megilp. It's similar to Liquin Original, but not as toxic. Made by Gamblin.
Very good,thank you for posting helped me a lot.
Love the background music, what is it?
I'm mostly a pencil artist. I painted something for my towns charity event, had fun. Now I'm going from level 2 to level 20 and love naval history so I'm going to paint 2 ships in the 1700s under a stormy sky doing broadside. Only trick is the sky. So here I am. Annnnnnd go.

Are you adding any liquid medium to the paint? If so, can you share which one and what percentage of paint vs medium? thank you. Your work is amazing!
Hi Keith,
Yes I add a little bit of Neo Megilp made by Gamblin. I just dip my brush into the medium to add a tiny little bit to the paint to make it go on the canvas a little smoother.
@@gagnonstudio thank you Tim.
Great stuff.
Thanks!

your teaching is super
Tim watching this lesson has given me an epiphany. I’ve be struggling in my head why I am struggling to get back into painting again after 25 yrs. It’s because I like working with oils better. So away with the acrylics I’ve been using again. Cheers
What colours are you using? Thank you I am starting my first oil with clouds.
Great Video. Thanks
Thank you!
Will this work when using acrylic colors ?
What colors are you mixing for the clouds?
Are these acrylic colours or oil? And is the same effect achievable with acrylic colors?
I'm working in acrylics, a little bit trickier to get it done this way.
That is true. Most likely, unless someone is extremely fast, this technique would not translate to acrylic very well.
Yes it’s awesome but what exact colors are you using for this painting
It's in the description on the video
Thank you!
I apologize you do say the colours. Amazing work!
I dont know what colors you THINK your using but mine came out a neon mess
i love it
Thank you!
Damn i want that painting.
Thank you! :)
Question - what medium where you using?
how do blend the colors together without adding too much oil paints to the canvas.?
I use a medium to make the paint a little thinner which allows it to cover the surface faster. I use NEO MEGILP made by Gamblin for paintings I want to dry faster, or I'll use linseed oil for a painting I don't mind staying wet longer.
@@gagnonstudio what thinner recommend.?
@@gagnonstudio paint thinner does it dry real fast or slow .?
Bravo pour ce partage 🎨🎶🎵merci
Is this in oils
What medium please and how is it applied?
I use Neo Megilp by Gamblin.
I just dip my brush in it a little bit initially to make the paint a little more loose. I don't add a lot.
Cool to watch in 2x.
Hi what colors are you using?
Hi Soraya, thank you for posting, I'm using Cobalt Teal, Alizarin Crimson, Pthalo Blue, Raw Umber, Titanium White
@@gagnonstudio thank you so much
Nice music

I’d be a dedicated subscriber if only you would tell your TH-cam audience what colours you’re actually using. I’m not learning much without these important details.
