Hello everyone! Today's live class is all about skies, wet on wet, and one point perspective with clouds and objects in the sky. It's going to be a great time!

This is the best description of one point perspective that I have heard. Thanks!

Heidi Matic

Can u show to paint smaller clouds that are close?

Heidi Matic

Can u repeat the things that cause a bloom?

Lisa Hubbard

The class was great. I learned a lot.

Kristin Van Leuven

I would love to do that! I might make a short video just about that

Erin Berlin

Yaaay! I'm a color mixing addiction. Lol!

Kristin Van Leuven

Bloom happens when we introduce a consistency that has more water than the original one. So if I put down a wash that’s more creamy as my base and try to add clouds with a watery consistency more like tea, then the paint and water will create a bloom instead of a cloud. So I try to aim for the same level or a higher consistency of water when adding colors into each other. I hope that makes sense!

Erin Berlin

Right? I tried painting them on your Salt Icy Trees a few weeks ago... and lol. . They looked soooo bad.

Kristin Van Leuven

Sorry I missed this during the live. If you’re doing a painting with 1 point perspective, if the clouds that are close are small, then the clouds that go farther back should be even smaller and smaller than that. Almost non existent as they get farther away

Heidi Matic

Ignore this question—I figured it out!

Bear Raeb Barrett

My paper is supposedly 100% cotton and it rips the paper; but, that’s the good masking tape. The cheapy stuff I got from the dollar tree does not rip the paper

Kristin Van Leuven

Oh good! Whatever works best for you is what you should use. So hard to give general advice 😅

Marquet

I know you use Arches paper but is the rough grain or the cold or hot press?
