This was so helpful. Ive been practicing clouds for awhile and doing pretty simple skies for my landscapes because I just wasn’t bold enough to try the gray and shadows in the clouds. I usually doing my skies too wet and ended up with the fuzzy edges. Thank you for your art and sharing your technique. I love it!

Hi Eric, I often find that when we look at a loose wc painting (even the work of good painters), from a close distance, say 1 feet or painting distance, it often looks dirty. It also looks like a bunch of strokes have been put together to make it look like the subject matter. It looks childish, dirty, inexperienced, lacks elegance. But when you look from a bit far, it looks so good, so pure, divine. Do you find this also? Should I worry about it because I reject my work often because of this reason. Should one look at the overall picture in watercolour, not too close but a safe distance? Does this happen with all watercolourists, even experienced ones? Thanks

@@ES-hr8yx Well that's kinda the point. To represent subject with the simplest lines. You gain a feeling for it with time but if it is something you don't like about it maybe that technique just is not for you and that's totally fine :) Everybody should have his own style.

I've been a subscriber for a while & have enjoyed many of your videos, but today it just occured to me why I find myself choosing your videos instead of others. It's because you describe your steps better than most artists & you provide the tips in your discussion before you do your demo & then demonstrate those tips in your demos. I find this format so helpful! Thank you! I'm currently doing another online class, but when it's complete, I'm excited to try yours. Happy painting!

Thank you! I have been searching for an tutorial that actually teaches something. So many videos say "Tutorial" in their titles; but they are almost all timelapse/speedpaint. I appreciate how you mention clouds get flatter near the horizon line ( i had not noticed that in real life before). Other artist's videos, claiming to be tutorials, give no insight behind the reasons for each brush stroke, placement of a brush stroke on the paper or color choice. So, thank you THANK YOU!😄 for this tutorial.
