A Guide On How To Paint Clouds For Beginners

By Diane Evans


Painting clouds can be an exquisite addition or a major section of a painting. The subtle variables that can appear as nebulous, soft, or solid can hinder a painter from learning the correct methods in sketching the puffs. A great way to start portraying the veils is to visualize them, and an artist could be able to see the dark and light areas of a cloud.

They can begin portraying the dark regions to gradually produce the highlights above it. In the first method of preparing how to paint clouds is closely similar to the preparation done for painting solid portraits, but the only distinctness lies in the light texture they provide. A single piece of veil can add to the motion and horizon, which is also beneficial in putting more perspective and movement to the result.

The items used to attain the result are medium sized bristle, paints specifically White, Burnt Umber, and Ultramarine Blue, and canvas. A skilled artist recommends the idea of maintaining the simplicity of a picture which is attained by starting with the cool or warm blue layout. They also have the selection to start making a regressive atmosphere by combining the dark and off white oils on it.

A small volume of a burnt umber oil can be used in making the shadows placed under the puffs. They can sketch veils with the small volume of white hue on the chisel bristle. An increase in the push is acquired by making some light strokes, and when the paint has run out, they have already made an even placement of the paint.

The brush stroke should be done in circular motions to make the cloud fluffy ends. This procedure is known as scumbling, and an artist is advised to gather references to acquire the cloud figure. They should maintain the expansion of the drawing with the same technique and brush, and in the event they run out of color, the marks they construct become transparent.

The construction of the shadows comes next, and the design is obtained by utilizing a gray oil that completes the shadow composition. They are provided with the selections of colors such as Cobalt Blue, Burnt Umber, or Deep Rose Madder to use for the gray mixture. The artist should avoid over blending the oils when they plunge a bristle to obtain numerous tints.

A completely dry brush can give the smudge effect of the gray oil and this gives emphasis on the shadows. If too much acrylic is applied, a solid line of gray is produced, instead of shadows for the cloud. The artist can get rid of excess paint by wiping it on a dry towel.

Slow application and movement of the bristle under the veils produces the shadow outcome, but the painter should remember that they should do it swiftly to give time for the oil to dry. The method can be reiterated in accordance to their preferences, but before repeating it, they should double check if the paint has became stale.

After the puff establishment, the artist can add space and perspective on their piece by placing more extensive and tinier clouds in the atmosphere. It is recommended that they uses different shades of gray to increase the interest in their picture. The integration of puffs on the picture can also alter the mistakes made by the artists such as the splattering of oil.
