Description
Hey all.. another study for the Angel picture I am painting... I am so used to 'cheating' and using a mixture of cloud brushes and stamps etc to take the easy road... so wanted to learn how to paint them... I defo have a better grasp of the forms now. Still not perfect but at least better.SHOUT OUT TO ALEX NEGREA!
If you haven't seen his work, check it because hes a beast!! I took a leaf out of his book and tried simplifying studies for initial learning. And writing down the things you don't know definitely help DRUM it into your head. I have such a problem with remembering stuff but this helps
.So yeah... clouds!! Top are from ref... I did more in my sketchbook to begin with but havent got a scanner. Then... noted the basics about them below... then tried a quickie from imagination. Will be doing more in this fashion... It defo helps me

I find it so fun to paint clouds that I almost never use brushes for it. But my clouds aren't that beautiful, I'm sure of it.

What kind of brush did you use for the one on the top row, second from the right? It's perfect!

I think it was a random shaped brush :S... it was a mixture of chalk and airbrush to get the randomness. Shape dynamics was switched on so I couldn't PROPERLY control the clouds edges... although i could get a regular brush and tidy it up if needed

Yea I mean, it looks pretty much perfect the way you have it. Almost like a photograph. The only thing that might give it away is the thin highlight line on the very bottom of it, but it looks really light and fluffy, like pulled apart cotton, and totally looks like it belongs in the sky.

I like the big cloud on the bottom right side. The orange blue one
