Janhendrik, thank you ever so much for sharing your talent, expertise, experience, knowledge and time doing these videos!!! You are truly an awesome artist!!!
Why haven't I discovered you before? Gorgeous painting so realistic, I wanted to take my shoes off and walk through it. Thank you for uploading and for your patient tuition
The video doesn't explain how to make underpaint wash. Is it like mixing brown paint with a lot of linseed oil, or the paint should be mixed turpentine or white spirit? I appreciat your reply.
@@williamFlat I use Liquin Light Gel (Winsor & Newton) as a medium. It's a fast drying medium that allows you to resume working on the same painting the next day. For my washes I use a mix of Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ocher and a lot of Liquin.
A vibrant orange, red or yellow directly next to an almost pure white highlight can create a very "hot" glow, which the warm underpainting is very helpful with. Additionally, a saturated warm color along the edge of an object with a bright backlight (where we see only the shadowed side of the object) can create this same glowy feeling. Alternatively, if you want to paint a scene with a cold main light source, it can be useful to start with a blue, purple or green underpainting.
Thank you for your post and all your wonderful responses to the questions of those fellow artists that appreciate your artistry ! I love chasing the light and appreciate all your comments on underpainting methods and the use of transparent painting methods. Your demonstration is so informative that I had to view it a second time to fully appreciate all your comments.
Love the artwork. It's very realistic and pleasant to watch. While I know nothing about oil colors it was a visual treat to see the painting coming to life. Keep up the good work and God bless you :D
Your videos are absolutely marvellous..so instructive, clear and you are easy to listen to...not too much going over and over the same thing endlessly...your painting fills in all the gaps and make it so easy to understand your techniques. The final result is wonderful!
Yay! Another great lesson from Janhendrik - so wonderful that you take the time to share these lessons - you could just keep it all to yourself - but it is helping me soooo much with my ocean and sky paintings - I improve little by little and study a lot - thank you again - I have all your videos and am always looking for a new one! Keep sharing please!
Thank you so much, Denise! Great to hear you have all my videos and that they have been helpful. I don't know when I'll be doing another full length video. Any tips on what it should be about?
@@PaintingSkies1 Oh I will definitely give you a few requests since the last time I requested I got my wish soon afterward - THE WAVE! I cannot even begin to tell you how often I paint as I am watching/listening to that video. I'll be back......
@@PaintingSkies1 I fallow you on UA-cam love your stuff I paint for a hobby, and I am having trouble with my clouds so I am watching your videos for techniques, I started out years ago with the Bob Ross wet on Wet technique, but still can’t seem to get my cloud to look realistic
You don't need the all the colors I use. Just the basic ones. If you send me an email (info@janhendrikdolsm.nl) I'll send you a list of the essential colors I use.
I had to give up using oils when I moved to a small one bedroomed flat, so it is wonderful to watch someone using them with such skill. It is a great medium.
Thank you for allowing us to watch this exquisite painting come to life and for sharing your vulnerability that sometimes you can be unsure of the direction your painting is taking too 🙏
Wonderful and inspiring...especially for someone who 'muddles through' as you put it !!! You are indeed a MASTER. Thankyou so much for sharing your skills.
Thank you, Natalya! I do have a number of full length tutorials, though not of this specific video. The subject of most of my videos is how to paint clouds, ranging from storm clouds to evening clouds. You can download them at www.paintingskies.com/video.
Fine video and painting, your comment about continued adjustments throughout the process was most helpful and encouraging. How do you clean your stippler when you're done using it, Janhendrik?
Pleased to hear the video was helpful, Thomas. I clean my stippler the same way I clean all my brushes. I did a short article about it on my blog: paintingcloudskies.blogspot.com/2016/09/cleaning-brushes.html.
Burnt Sienna is an amazing colour. It seems to go with any scene. It can be the sun in clouds, or mixed with blue, the shadows. It can be the colour of rust, or an old barn, or of a field of grain, or dead grasses poking out though snow, skin tones, rocks, sand...it seems endless. I like how you let its warmth glow in the clouds here. Very nice!
Yes, Burnt Sienna is a very versatile color. Beside its use in an underpainting it works great in color mixes, when you need a bit of warmth. Glad you like it, Mark!
Thank you so much for this video. I am self taught and this helps me immensely! I’m really curious as to how Klimt created those reflections in his water scenes!
My pleasure! To be honest, I have no idea how Klimt did it. If you want to find out how I did it, you could download my Painting Reflections video at www.paintngskies.com/video.
Thank you,! The brown color is a mixture of Burnt Sienna and Yellow Ocher. I dilute it with a lot of medium, Liquin Light Gel, a fast drying medium from Winsor & Newton.
I just discovered your channel and look forward to binge watching all of your content and investigating all of your other resources as well. You are a marvelous artists and teacher.

Thank you! I did a UA-cam video about the brushes I use: ua-cam.com/video/GPIV9y3j8Kk/v-deo.html. Hope it will answer your question. If not, let me know!
I really enjoyed your explanation and watching you paint. At an early stage the picture looked really good. Than came the bright shocking blue. Eventually of course you arrived at your desired color values. This is inspiring. I have tried this technique on a picture long time ago. Tome to try it again.
Found the perfect reason!☘️thanks a lot,am planning to apply this in mah next landscape painting,,btw your painting's beyond pretty..as if the clouds are gonna move anytime!!
Incredible as usual Question: You said you were painting the foam on wet paint--how do you put your hand down without messing up the paint of the sea foam? Patron from Florida USA:)
I use a painting stick. It's a slat with a screw on top. In the full length version of my Painting Evening Clouds for Beginners I demonstrate its use. As a video patron you have free acces to the video.
Just found your channel and am drinking in the videos! Thank you so much for the inspiration to paint better skies and clouds. I paint quickly for the purpose of teaching but will follow your example on my own work. Best wishes _ Paul 😀
Pleased to hear you enjoy my channel, Paul. If you're interested in a more detailed display of my technique, you could download one of my full length tutorials at www.paintingskies.com/video. Am I right to understand you're an art teacher?
@@PaintingSkies1 Yes. Ive been teaching beginners the Bob Ross technique (alla prima) for quite a while now. I did my training back in 2000 in Roermond in your home country. Its not to your standards but a way of getting people started with a little early success. Its also a way of break the fear of having a happy accident. Everything is fixable in oils. I look forward to watching many more of your videos. Best wishes from Paul, Terri and our fur babies Henny Puss and Poppy Cat 😸😸
@@PaulRansonArt I've been watching Bob Ross more than once and with some admiration. Though I'm not a big fan of his work, he certainly popularized painting. And got rich doing it. Something I didn't manage up till now... Love your cats names.
Very interesting. It gives a very realistic, vibrant look to the skies, that is for sure. It reminds me of the paintings of Canaletto, these have the same glow, which always fascinated me. And I believe he even used red as underpainting, but please correct me if I'm wrong.And thank you for sharing this video.
Thank you! I'm not sure if Canaletto used a red underpainting. The Venetians introduced it in the 16th century and Canaletto lived in the late 17th/early 18th century. It's possible he applied the technique as well. The glow you're referring to certainly suggests it.

This painting is stunning. I did my first ocean plein air painting a couple weeks ago, I’ll be taking this advice with me when I go back.
Thanks. All the best with your new plein air painting!
Did he just make photo realistic clouds appear with a rag?
Yep
That is a clever way of getting an orange glow consistent throughout the painting. Nice painting, impressive.
Thank you, Ana! That's the beauty of this technique, this consistent glow.
Wow! Thank you for that tutorial. That was truly amazing! And your painting is beautiful!

Good to hear you enjoyed the video. Thanks for subscribing!
I had to give up using oils when I moved to a small one bedroomed flat, so it is wonderful to watch someone using them with such skill. It is a great medium.
What a pity you had to give up oils. I hope you didn't give up painting...
@Painting Skies absolutely not. Acrylics, watercolour and printing now.
Paint in oil without solvent! Problem solved!
I always have the same thought about starting the fun details and getting to do them again if I mess them up by doing them too early :)
Ah, that's funny, Eve! It's a lot better than loosing your temper over I, isn't it?
Wow, fantastic skill, beautiful painting.
