  • Hi guys! So someone requested for me to do a cloud tutorial, so I made a version of a night sky with clouds. This took me a while to figure out the technique. I've done around 8 tries or so, but I'm quite happy with the outcome, and hopefully this technique will be useful for your own cloud paintings as well. Hope you guys enjoy the video and happy painting! :))

    This is amazing and going in to darken the sky after you have painted the moon is a honed artist's move, so confident, I would be so afraid of ruining it that I'd never do it😂👍

    This is so beautiful. Sooo much harder than I thought. I don’t know how to make things as smoothly blended I think I needed more of a rounded brush than one with a point. And better paper for sure. Mine dried in seconds. But it was so fun and I can’t wait to try again! Thank you!

    Lovely painting! I love seeing the full process like this - I would never have thought it could turn out this awesome if you'd just shown me the very first layer. I'm still learning to think in layers and multiple steps, and not judge my work prematurely. Honestly, usually when I'm unhappy with something it's mostly because I'm not actually done yet and need to figure the next layer... I think this video showcases that really well, how just a few more layers can take a painting from quite basic to stunning.

    • @Nianiani
      @Nianiani  3 роки тому +1

      Ah yes! A lot of times I've seem works that ppl are unhappy with, but in reality it's just unfinished, and needs a bit more layers! Don't give up and keep working on it. It also helps to step back a bit when you're feeling a bit stuck. Best of luck for your paintings!
