This painting video demonstrates how to paint clouds using watercolors, working wet on wet. You'll see exactly how it's done from start to finish, how the white clouds are lifted out from the still-wet blue paint with a brush, and how shadows are added to them. Watercolor painting tips sprinkled throughout the video, such as using a bigger brush than you think you need as it'll stop you fiddling and using some yellow to add a warm glow to the sky. (Note: The video color is a bit strange when it starts, so don't adjust your screen! And you'll need to turn the sound up quite a bit to hear the narration, but I think it's well worth it. Just remember to turn it down again when you're finished watching.)
