A REALISTIC SKY with CLOUDS so EASY, Anyone Can Paint it! | NEW Airbrush Tutorial for Beginners

)In this airbrush tutorial we are going back to the basics by painting a simple sky with clouds. I'm using opaque (and semi-opaques) colors for this painting, so there is zero erasing or removal of paint. I'll show you how to paint a gradient in the sky using a mixture of cobalt blue and opaque white, and then to paint in the clouds only using that opaque white. If you want to learn how to paint landscapes, this video should get you started. Thanks for watching!

Awesome video and perfect timing for me. Tried a sky the other day but didn't come out the way I hoped. Looking forward to trying it again this weekend! You nailed it about being good observers. Keep doing what you are doing - so helpful! Thanks!

Hi Mark, great tutorial. It reminds me of when my brother was working at a small film fx company many years ago. They used to do glass mat painting to composite with live shooting. Things like sky backgrounds and cliff faces, all airbrushed... that's where I first saw what an airbrush can do. When I'm out and about, I take pictures of cloud formations and store them in a clouds folder to use as a reference in paintings. But I must admit my landscapes are .... well, let's just say they leave a lot to be desired.

oh man I love mat paintings! I've never seen one in person but have always been fascinated by them. The way they used them to blend in the live action in film was incredible- awesome to hear your brother was part of that! Thanks Ken.

This video is so useful, Mark. Regarding the particulate mask - do you just wear one for large coverage/overspray sessions or also for light spray detail sessions as well? Thank you!

@theartworkshop 7 ай бұрын

Thanks Ryland! I mainly only wear a mask for larger parts of a painting when there is going to be a lot of overspray. If I'm painting a part of a portrait (like an eye, nose, mouth, etc), I rarely wear one because it's such a small amount of paint and a lot of that time I'm using the eraser. It's a good habit to wear one though!

But what if i want to make a happy cloud?

@BlondeResin 4 ай бұрын

Do you only wear a respirator when covering larger areas with lots of paint, not when painting detail? It feels unnecessary when doing portrait details but i never know..

@theartworkshop 4 ай бұрын

I usually wear it when I'm spraying large areas, but to be honest it's best have some sort of ventilation system and/or mask at all times.

Why you still use the small moisture trap under your airbrush? The silent air compressor has a tank and moisture filter which do the job much better than the small thing.

@theartworkshop 7 ай бұрын

I like the grip it offers- it gives me more to hold onto while painting. Feels very comfortable to me to paint with it. Also it's like a last line of defense against moisture or particles

@pirate1958 7 ай бұрын

as a total newbie, so this is air brush paint? Is it a very thin regular acrylic paint for brush, but you thin it further down???

@theartworkshop 7 ай бұрын

it's an acrylic, but it's manufactured differently from standard acrylic paint. Airbrush paints have pigments and binders milled to super small sizes so they spray much better through an airbrush.

Did I understand correctly . Reducing with water the mixed paint will have a better shelf life. Also please , would you use water as a reducer when painting hard surfaces such as a helmet using candy and 4050 clear? Thank you.

@theartworkshop 7 ай бұрын

That's correct- if mixed with the paint, 4011 & 4012 reducers are supposed to be used within a few days. Distilled water will last for months or years as long as the container is sealed well. For something like a helmet, I'd stick with the reducer suggested by the manufacturer, same for the clear. Water can weaken the paint binder/film- it's great for canvas or paper, but not ideal for something that you want a very tough/scratch resistant finish on.

Thank you. I’m sure you know this but worth saying. Your voice tone and cadence are so pleasing and in my opinion are pivotal in making you a great teacher. Not to mention the large knowledge you hold on the subject is obvious.
