  • Clouds have always been my nemesis! Thank you Steve for this comprehensive step-by-step approach into the subject. Certainly going to be watching this video a few more times! Amazing work Steve 👍

    Good timing Steve. I started painting about 15 months ago. Recently I began digging out some of the earliest paintings and have been reworking them, trying to turn the impenetrable shiny white geometric shapes on them into natural looking clouds. I hope one day we will see a tutorial for painting a distant rain storm. In the meantime: Onward through the fog, I mean clouds!

    Great tips... Very nice clouds...natural free flowing...reminds me of the Dutch painters...today's painters are too scribble scrabble when it comes to clouds...then their's those who layer upon layer with no definition and or hard egdes... like writing mountains, they give lessons without looking at references...making up shapes with no rhyme or reason giving a cartoonish look....and the mountains don't exist nor look like they would..
