Thanks Michelle! The advantage of small paintings is that your painting decisions can be quickly executed and you can learn a lot in a relatively short time.
Thanks, Magnus. The funny thing is that I sometimes feel like I'm a beginner with a lot to learn. But maybe it's like this: when I ride my bike I'm not aware of the trouble it took to learn it. Some things become so self evident, that you forget them.
I love all of your videos I've watched. Your very calm presentation is pleasant indeed. You asked if this video was instructive despite the increased speed, and it certainly was. The only detail I would have loved to see slowed down (or perhaps zoomed in) was the painting of the waves and how you did those. But I'll look through your other videos and may see some tips there. Many thanks for sharing your process, and best wishes for a happy and healthy new year.
Very instructive & fun to watch you build the painting! I’m just about to start some beach miniatures, and found this inspiring Thank you, from Vancouver Island, Canada
It helped me to realize my need to work on the sky and the water as a "team." That way I will have the same tones of the blues and greys ready to use for a more balanced look in my work. Thank you.
Merry Christmas to you 😃 all your videos are instructive and a pleasure to watch. It's great your cats feature so much. I'm always amazed that your will go in different directions and the finished painting is quite different from the idea you expect from part way through the painting. Best wishes from NZ
Fantastic instructional approach for an intermediate/advanced artist like myself. I can see your method/process/decision making. In my humble opinion, I'd recommend doing more of this style. Well done!
I make a lot of small panels, square, round and oval and make or try and make a 1st attempt for a larger painting so this video is perfect for me. If they are good enough they make nice cheap gifts. Thank you.
Als instructie zijn dit soort korte filmpjes juist zeer geschikt, mijns inziens...genoeg technieken die nodig zijn om het ook eens te proberen.. thumbs up 👍
Thanks for a very informative, concise lesson. I assume that similar results could be obtained with acrylics throughout, too. Your seacoast videos are very therapeutic for a landlocked Midwesterner.
Thanks, the quick videos are helpful and enjoyable to view😊... however, the videos in real time are more beneficial for educational purposes! ...also, just a,side note.... your voice is very soothing to listen to! Thanks for all your time and effort!!!
Thanks, Susan. Both approaches have their merits. It's easier to show in real time what really happens, but harder to demonstrate the entire process. Maybe I'll combine them more often in the future.
Thank you. A really interesting demonstration. Size doesn’t really matter in this case as we can still observe the techniques you used to create this lovely little painting
I love this painting and how you demonstrate your technique. I’m more amazed you can keep cat hair out of your paintings as I can’t seem to do this and invariably I find kitty hairs in my oils. Love the cat! Oh, and the painting!
Thanks! The fact that I don't have cat hair on my work is not really my merit. The long hair doesn't shed a lot of hair and the short hair is outside a lot.
I love it. It´s so fun to paint miniature paintings. The smallest i have made with succes is on matchboxes. Very hard to get all the small details, but i manished. That was back in 2012. Today the smallest i have made is 10x10cm.
@@PaintingSkies1 * It`s funny because most have said the same, but no. I just had very good eyes at the time. Now i reached the age, where i use reading glasses, when i paint very small, like 10x10cm.
these are fantastic. Been struggling with clouds and skies and with each of your videos, no matter the duration, im learning something. Thanks very much!!

Depends on which kind of varnish, retouching varnish or finish varnish. Did a short article about it on my blog: paintingcloudskies.blogspot.com/2015/05/varnishing-day.html.
@@PaintingSkies1 thank you! Edit: I paint with acrylics and have heard from different places different things about that. Was curious if you work with acrylics if you varnish those paintings? 🙏🏼 thank you!
@@solh8844I rarely use acrylics and if I do only in underpinnings for oil. I know there are varnishes for acrylics, but I don't know enough about them to give you a solid answer...
You have the utmost talent to inspire, my friend!!!
Thank you so much, Magnus!
Yes. It’s is very informative. A small painting is nice to try.
Thank you
Thanks Michelle! The advantage of small paintings is that your painting decisions can be quickly executed and you can learn a lot in a relatively short time.
Thank you Janhendrik! Well done! I've been painting beach miniatures for a few years now!
Thanks, Pam. Nice coincidence!
Yes, my friend - very instructive but hard to dicipline because of viewing the immense technique you have aquired
Thanks, Magnus. The funny thing is that I sometimes feel like I'm a beginner with a lot to learn. But maybe it's like this: when I ride my bike I'm not aware of the trouble it took to learn it. Some things become so self evident, that you forget them.
@@PaintingSkies1 I get you completely, my friend!
You are big influencer for me and I always enjoy you lessons. Thank toy for sharing.

That's a great way to put it: sky and water are a team. This realization will get you a long way!
Yes,very good. And the painting is excellent.
Thanks, Mike. For some people speeding up the video is pretty annoying. Glad you like it!
Terrific! Worth watching several times. Great to remind us there are always horizontal light lines in water. 👏👏👏🙏
Thanks, Pandora! Recently I've been doing the light Iines in the water with my rag. Works great.
Merry Christmas to you 😃 all your videos are instructive and a pleasure to watch. It's great your cats feature so much.

Merry Christmas to you as well, Bruce. happy to surprise you! I'll pass the compliments to the cats.
Yes, very instructive! And thank you for including our paint brands. So helpful!
Thanks, Holly. Good to hear you appreciate including the paint brands!
Fantastic instructional approach for an intermediate/advanced artist like myself. I can see your method/process/decision making. In my humble opinion, I'd recommend doing more of this style. Well done!
Thanks, Jeff. That's what I was going for. Good to hear you appreciate it!
Very informative and the color ribbon at the bottom of the video is a great assist. Thank you for showing the process.
Thanks, Jacquelyn. Good to hear the color ribbon is helpful!

My pleasure. Hope it does help!
Again, nice cat documentary !😊 (Bonus : an annoying tiny seascape painting)
Great job, thanks for the vidéo, from France ! Keep going for us please !🎉
LOL, thanks!

Thank you, Leonie. I don't use the wet-on-wet technique a lot, but in a small painting like this, it's very useful.
Every lesson is truly appreciated.
Thank you!
Absolutely it was instructive and you gave great materials information as well! Thank you. It’s beautiful AND tiny! ☺️
Very tiny...
I'm working on a 15 x 15cm canvas so this is a great lesson. Thank you
Happy coincidence!
Hello. Yes, I found this interesting. I had already purchased some tiny panels for painting and wondered where to start. I like this. Thank you.
That's good to hear, thanks!
I love this painting and how you demonstrate your technique. I’m more amazed you can keep cat hair out of your paintings as I can’t seem to do this and invariably I find kitty hairs in my oils. Love the cat! Oh, and the painting!

I love this thank you. I was thinking of trying a small picture and there was your notification! Beautiful!
Thank you. What a nice coincidence!
I found it quite instructive. Thanks for posting
I hoped it would be, but you're never sure, so thanks Nils!
Yes it is Jan Hendrik!👍
Thanks, Fred!
I am inspired!
That's great, Michael, thanks!
Yes love this format.
Good to hear, thanks!
Very instructive, thank you. The high speed is fine.
Thanks, Jasper. I may use it again!

Thanks, Tore! Painting on matchbox size, that's really small. You must've used a magnifying glass...

That's good to hear, Jim. Including the cat!
Love it
Thanks, Bruce!
How long do you wait to varnish your paintings? And I’m not sure if you already went over this in another video, like varnishing techniques?❤
Depends on which kind of varnish, retouching varnish or finish varnish. Did a short article about it on my blog: paintingcloudskies.blogspot.com/2015/05/varnishing-day.html.

Do you have any notes or video on preparing the panel? Do you start with bare masonite/mdf panel?
I work on 6 mm MDF board. Wrote a short article about it on my blog:

Hope this helps!
👍👍👍
Thx, Jon!

Thanks!
👍💎
Thank you!
Yes, most certainly. And, btw, you should figure out how to make a brush with your cat’s hair 😀
Thanks, John, for the compliment and for the tip. Genuine cats hair brushes...
