Finishing the cloud shadows

1 Comment

Bill finishes up his cloud shadows. We’ve shown you before how important it is to keep your sky layer thin. You can not hypnotize your sky if there is too much paint on the canvas. Even worse, if you are using a thin paint, when you begin hypnotizing you will get a big mess on your canvas. You need a thick, dry paint. But don’t take our word for it, listen to Bill in this video clip.

    Loved this clip, reminds me of the many years I taught Bill’s technique to thousands of students in Florida. I’ve used other paints that are loose, but Bill was right, you can’t get the wet-on-wet technique with an oily paint.
