    A very good technique for getting natural looking clouds and sky. The sky would have been perfect, in my humble opinion, if you had not used the granulating Ultramarine blue which gave the appearance of a sky in an old crackled oil painting. But I am grateful that you shared this technique, because I cannot wait to try it with a non-granulating blue. I think it is one of the best techniques I have ever seen for achieving a beautiful and natural looking sky.

    I am SSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOO glad your student recommended you share on UA-cam & even more glad to hear this is your passion. Oh I hope and pray you grasp just how powerful, & meaningful, this is to me. I love that UA-cam’s algorithm knew I’d love this channel. The moment I began to play your your first video, I KNEW you were no ordinary UA-cam artist. Due to a miraculous life saving, and rare, surgery (while 30 weeks pregnant w/ our son, rushed into emergency surgery & discovered my anatomy was flip flopped & the pregnancy pushed on them causing gangrene) I have been given ample opportunity to find new creative outlets. To me, creating is a completely immersive experience I can get lost in - in the best way! I’ve never been “by the book”. So, back to when I saw you first video, I KNEW I’d found a priceless treasure. As mobility has been limited lately, I’ll check out the innumerable art & creating channels. But when I came across you, something immediately clicked…on a deep level. I knew if I had come across you in art school, as one of my teachers, I would have found the one who made the greatest impact. What I love about how you teach here, is I feel like you’ve come to my table & showing me personally how to bring out my desired passion. So THANK YOU!!!!! 😁

    Great video Steve! I really enjoyed this. It seems like the randomness of the droplets from the water bottle really helps to make the randomness in the clouds believable. You are doing great! I hope you continue to make more videos with techniques like this.

      As for art supplies, I buy most of mine from cheap Joe’s Art supply. I’m starting to use hot press paper more because the water doesn’t absorb in as quickly try Arches hot press, or Fabriano hot press. All my water color paint is from cheap Joe’s. It’s called American journey. Have fun.

    Thank you for sharing your video. Very helpful, such as having droplets from the spray bottle, not mist. I immediately subscribed you. Could I ask you a question? I have been painting a sky using tissues to block out the white clouds, with bad results. Could you show us how to do it in your future video?
