    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

    I’ve been trying to hone in my painting desires by watching stuff on UA-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!

    • @gagnonstudio

      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!

    • @gagnonstudio
      @gagnonstudio  4 роки тому

      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.
