How to paint clouds with oil - How to integrate those clouds into the sky so that they do not appear overlapping
When we have a painted sky, such as the gradient that I made in the first step and it is dry, we can make the decision to choose the type of cloud we want to make, but since the bottom is dry we run the risk of it being superimposed.
First step, paint a gradient background, as we have already done in the tutorial on (How to make brown). From the dark zone with ultramarine blue with the intermediate tone towards Cerulean and later white.
Color palette:
Ultramarine blue
Sky Blue
Yellow ocher
Toasted shadow earth
White
If when painting the clouds you notice that your sky is not connected with the clouds, the main error is usually that we mark the shape of the cloud a lot.
The trick is to blur those cuts, applying the brush almost without paint when we get to the edges and continually changing dry and clean brushes for the blur. I have let the first layer dry so that you can verify that the cloud can be integrated and that it remains as part of the sky.
Normally I take advantage of the humidity of the oil to blur them and if it is acrylic paint, clean brush and remove the excess paint from the edges until we manage to integrate the cloud.
The lights are applied with a brush slightly loaded with paint, the clouds really do not carry much load.
Circular movements are made and trying not to be marked the edges of the clouds, they have to be blurred.
Then the gray tones are applied for the shading, they can have a bluish, violet, reddish, brown tendency, we make different grays without covering all the shadows.
With a soft brush you begin to unify the light and shadow areas without reaching the light area so that it does not get dirty.
For more explanations you can watch the video and see how I do it.
Soon I will publish videos for beginners of oil, drawing, watercolor or pastel and others more advanced, also some other special video for children and their beginnings in art (applicable for adults).
For this to happen, I have to have an audience interested in it, if it's your case ... you know.
