Nice ! I'm 57... trying watercolors for the first time. Here in Normandy our skies gave hedeaches to painters since the middle ages... the light is very particular, specially in the fall, the collors are pastel rose, light blue, light orange with beautifull shapes and mixes. I'm trying to learn how to attempt to reproduce them in watercolor but is a long road, every famous French painter gave it a try al all of them had a hard time conveing the reality this unique sky. Your video is very useful, I'll come back and check out the rest. Best regards.
Oh my! I MUST see those Normandy skies some day! No painting will ever completely capture the magnificence of reality, but we artists will never stop trying. :)

Such a great teacher and your art matches your teaching skill, well done , super video.
This is perfect for my Sketchbook Challenge group monthly prompt - Skies and Clouds! I'll follow this later and will share the link in the group. Thank you!
I've been painting in acrylics for a couple years now. However, I just decided to expand into the world of watercolors. Such a huge difference. I just watched your cloud video. Thanks so much for making it look so simple! Can't wait to get my paints out and do it myself!
Have fun! 🙌
Thanks for showing simple techniques. You are great artist as well as a beautiful lady. God bless you.

Wet on dry was my favorite
Nice, simple tutorial - thank you so much for sharing, Emily!
Thank you so much. I teach watercolor and my students wanted to learn clouds. This was so fun and they each had such good results.
Stepping into the world of watercolor, as I am trying to find an outlet of creativity and relaxation.
What a lovely simple tutorial to teach a basic technique in cloud making. I can't wait to try and see if I am able to have any sort of success. Thanks for sharing!!! Your Clouds are really lovely!
My pleasure and I'm so glad you enjoyed!
Thank you so much🤩. Will try it!
Thank you for your tutorial. My 1st time for water color. I loved your video, it helps me a lot.
I’m so glad!
Awesome studies and techniques.
I wish I would have watched this video before spending hours trying to paint some clouds. My first time with watercolor. Thanks 😊
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. ❤

Welcome!
Thank you ☁️💕
Beautiful your guidance
Thank you Emily 🥰.
My pleasure!
Thank you, I always wanted to paint clouds.
Go for it!
Hi Emily! Great video on painting different skies! I looked at your supply list but there wasn't any mention of the tape. I keep buying tape that rips my paper. Could you please tell me what tape you use in this video? Thanks, Nicole
I cycle between Blick artist tape and washi tape. :-)
Very clear explanation, thank you!
nice paint.❤
Beginner at 39 🤦🏼♀️ Thank you for the great tips. Really appreciated x
Good for you! I hope you'll keep painting!
Thank you for this tutorial!
I'm curious what tape you are using. It looks like it comes off so easily.
I've ruined a few paintings because the tape pulls off some of the paper.
Nice and easy for beginners ，thank you
My pleasure!
Very nice. Thanks for sharing!
the hell teacher your drawing is like so good
Great video, great explanation, simple and stray, thanks a lot
I've been working on a values exercise the last three nights involving clouds. The book I use goes with #3 here, but I rather like the wet on wet demos shown a bit better, so will try them tonight. Thanks for the help and happy to subscribe to your channel! 🎨
PS: I should add that where I live, Tampa Bay, Florida, we have the most beautiful clouds I've ever seen, and like yourself, take pictures of them now and then.
Yay for beautiful clouds! An endless source of inspo!
Excellent tutorial! Thanks!!!
This looks beautiful. Ill try it!
Thank you so much!! 💙💙💙
Thank you!
I have recently been following your channel and love your tutorials. For much larger paintings for painting clouds, do you use a Size 10 or Size 12 brush? Also, if there are grey clouds in the reference photo as well as blue clouds, what paint do you recommend we use to paint the grey clouds? In such a case, do we paint the grey clouds first and then the blue clouds or the other way around?
Yes I do! Usually a 12 round. And for the dark shadows on the clouds, I usually mix some burnt sienna with the blue sky color I’m using, or I’ll mix some quin Rose with it if the shadows are more purple. You can paint them at the same time as the blue, just side by side.
Great tutorial thank you! I think the trick is painting in the spots that aren’t white and then the clouds sort of appear
Yep! 😀
Amazing tutorial... thanks Emily! You are amazing!
Thank you, Raj!
Which paper you are using?.. Please reply can this colour effect can be done on normal paper... Plz reply
I am not sure what you mean by normal paper. To get the same effects, you definitely need to use cotton watercolor paper. All of the supplies I use are listed in the description. 😊
@@EmilyOlsonArt Thanks to explain
That was really helpful! Thanks a lot!! 💖

I'd really like to know what paper you used
This was so incredibly useful! I made some cloud paintings for my pen pal, and she loved them!
I’m so glad you found this video helpful! Thanks for your kind comment!
I do the same thing--take pictures of clouds and other things . Thank you.
That will help me a lot, thank you. New subscriber
Welcome!
She says "You can paint loosely and expressively here, but .. check the accuracy of your values" while casually adding the shape, shadow and feeling of the clouds.. something that I find impossible. With a few strokes with a wet brush, she makes the clouds look real and three dimensional. This is where the artistry comes in. I'm not sure it can be taught.. but I am becoming pretty sure that I can't learn it even if it can.
I love your teaching methods 💕
I'm so glad!
You are so pretty 😸
Aw thank you!
A good tutorial. Thank you. I can't but help notice the man's head with an open mouth and a quiff of hair in the last photo. :-)
that was portrait of me!
What type of brushes do you use!! What brand is it??
I think all the supplies are in the description! :)
:D THANKS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... MUCH!!!!!!!!
What kind of paper do you use?
When you go to an art store, if you go into the paper section, the covers of the booklets should say the type of paint it is best for. There are two main types of watercolour paper that I’ve heard of; cold pressed and hard pressed. And mixed media paper is also fine.
