Just like the touch of light on the simple beach pole is a perfect surprise, so are your occasional bits of self-deprecating humor. Thank you for your well-articulated guidance on tricky subject matter. I am soaking it all in and, with practice of these techniques, I hope to add an enlivened layer to my landscape work. Cheers.
Thank you, Susan! I'm pleased to hear the video has been helpful.
Wow, it looks like real clouds! Thank you so much for sharing with us such beauty
My pleasure, thank you!
What do I think??? I mean, hahaha I am blown away!….again!! Beautiful. As always. And your subdued humour/personality shining through is the cherry on top☺️
Thank you.
Thanks, Donita.
Beautiful. The balance is perfect; not too much detail. Thank you.
That's very kind, Jean, thank you!
You are the master of Clouds!
Thank you, Sibylle!
I could watch you paint all day.. thank you for sharing! Just outstanding works.
My pleasure, Lindsey, thanks!
Dont you just love it when UA-cam pops up a video suggestion banner just a the final reveal of a painting happens?
It's pretty annoying. Thanks for pointing it out. In future videos I will make the final image of the painting last longer.
@@PaintingSkies1 I had a question about you. I cant help but wonder about your start as an artist. Surely you didnt jump out of bed one day to master clouds and oceans. Did you do pure landscape ever?
@@mark-dietz My love for landscape painting started when I was an art student (late sixties, early seventies). At the same time I felt a deep connection to the Dutch Wadden Sea and the bordering islands. I simply combined the two. It was as late as the nineties when I picked up my brushes again and started exhibiting my work. In 2004 I quit my teaching job and made a living as a professional painter since then.
@@PaintingSkies1 It was meant to be
stunning as always, thanks for sharing..
Thank you, as always!
👋Thank you very much, Janhendrik. I like the technique, the clouds appear like out of nowhere, and after finishing your painting looks beautiful and perfect. The pole gives it the icing on the cake. - Have a pleasant week💖
Thanks, Cora. Yes, in the beginning the clouds are still far removed from the end result, but this approach is very helpful in gettin an overall view quite quickly. Have a pleasant week too!
“A gift in the skies”
Thank you!!
I Learning so much, thank you your video so much
My pleasure, Kim!
👌👌👌 Чудове небо, дивовижні хмаринки різноманітних форм, кольорів ! ❤❤❤
Дякую, Зено, рада, що тобі подобається!
Thank You I've been struggling with clouds but You have helped me ❤ this is absolutely beautiful and You are easy to watch I felt more comfortable with You then anyone !!! Thank You for sharing Your amazing talent ❤
Thanks, Kimberly, that's great!
This is beautiful. Thank you for the instruction.
My pleasure, Christopher, thanks!
Brilliant, Amazing, beautiful! You make it look so effortless, as if everything happens on its own, as if every cloud just appears out of nowhere. I love this technique. I will try it. Thank you so much for sharing these awesome videos. I just looked down at the comment directly underneath mine, and the lady said the same thing; clouds appearing out of nowhere. 😃
Thanks, Gabriela! I spent quite a few years painting and that maybe one of the reasons it looks effortless. But I can assure you that there still are many moments when you can find me struggling and telling myself I'm no good...
@@PaintingSkies1 Thank you for the reply, Janhendrik. See? This is another thing that I admire you for; you are so humble. We are all watching you paint, admiring you, wanting to pain like you, and you say sometimes you tell yourself you're no good. That made me smile. You are amazing, but as you know better than me, there are those moments when nothing seems to come together. Everybody has them. You know how writers sometimes find themselves in front of a blank page and not a word comes to mind. It's the same with anything creative, artistic. Thanks for sharing your gift with your admirers.
Prachtig werkelijk schitterend, mooi van kleur en compositie....dank u
Graag gedaan, dank voor je aardige woorden!
I love your technique and your paintings. I recently used it and am very happy with the results. Thank you so much! Now if you would teach how to paint an angry ocean, that would be great!
Thanks, Vicki. Good to hear my videos have been helpful. I will keep your request in the back of my mind.
Thank you for the video 👍
My pleasure, Mark!
I think you nailed it. But I have to admit, I thought it needed something, but couldn't figure out where. I was surprised to see it was the right-hand side. But you got it.
Thanks, Mike!
And I like your cats!)
They're so cute...
very cool, how do you know when and where to put those red light accents in the edge of the receding clouds?
It's the location below the sun and that's where these soft reddish colors sometimes appear. On top of that, I needed an extra accent in that corner to lead the viewers gaze.
What do I think? PERFECT!
Thank you, Michael!
Hi great work as usual…what brand paints do you use…likely a mixture of many ?
Thanks, Fernand! if you send me an email at info@janhendrikdolsma.nl, I will mail you the list of colors, brands and brushes I use.
How the hell , thank you for sharing and showing more of your amazing talent , where's the cat 😺
My pleasure, thanks! The cat is at the end of the video, when you think the video is over, there's the cat.
My mistake I didn't watch the last bit 😂 and now I have and there is the cat 😊
Do you ever paint storm clouds? and do you always use small brushes?
I did a full length video (60 min.) on painting storm clouds. It's available on my website www.paintingskies.com/video. This is the URL for the UA-cam trailer: ua-cam.com/video/zZ3z2GAOYzk/v-deo.html.
Is this oil's or acrylic?
My paintings are in oil. Occasionally I use an even acrylic base layer when I don’t want to work on a white surface.
More info in an article on my blog: paintingcloudskies.blogspot.com/2016/08/oils-and-acrylics.html.
If you find the time you could read the comment on the article of an acrylic painter (Gayle) with lots of tips to apply the glazing technique with acrylics.
Leuke techniek, mooi resultaat Jan Hendrik! Grappig om een lucifer te gebruiken om de plaats te bepalen 😂
Dankjewel, Fred. Heb je even gegoogeld. Mooi werk!
@@PaintingSkies1 Dank je! Zie / hoor nu trouwens dat je strandpaal geen lucifer is, maar een uitgeknipt printje😂
🤍💛🧡💗💚💙💜🤎🖤✌
Thanks, Howie!
@@PaintingSkies1 I just want to say. Thank You for all the great videos you make regarding painting skies, clouds and more. You have helped me to create better paintings from watching your channel. Your use of the stippler brush is awesome and now it is for me too !!! 🤍💛🧡💗💚💙💜🤎🖤✌
