So grab your sketchbook brushes and let's move on to paint the beautiful fluffy clouds. I really hope you enjoy it. 2. Applying wet into wet technique: Alright, so to paint the clouds, I'll be using wet into wet technique. And for that, I'm going to apply clean water all over the paper here. And I will do this multiple times. Usually, this is how I do it in the past. When I first started out, I would just apply on one layer of water and then just continue painting wet into wet. But what you want to do is, is to give yourself more time to paint wet into wet. And you want to apply multiple layers of water. Now that apply clean water to the paper, I am not going to start painting immediately. I lend me put, absorb some of the moisture, then it can be solved in water. When I paint, if it's super hard, There you are, you need more time to paint. If you want to use watercolor block like I do here, you can do it by applying water to the back and front. And you can do this multiple times and attach it to your drawing board. But here I just apply some water to let it absorb, let me, people absorb it and then apply moon. And you can do this multiple times until you have enough moisture inside your paper. It will give you all a little bit more time to work on your clouds. We also don't want to start painting. Manage just super, super wet. You want to wait until the shine disappear just slightly. It's rather on the dam site. It is what I'm going to do. I will apply multiple layers of water. Then we can start painting. 3. How to paint flully clouds with watercolors_Imagining: All right, so for the actual painting, I'm going to use, I think I will try to use the one color and this is going to be the darkest blue color. So this is called an added ran senior. Rambling has a similar color. It is coiled with tone blue on blue. And the time. And in turn, something like an intron Group. I feel like they are similar colors. I will use this and see how it goes because it's very dark color. And I can stretch it Many, much from light to dark. So we can paint monochromatic almost. This is what I will do. I will start with the slightest scholars. This is what I will do. I will start with the lightest colors and then build up the clouds. I have a reference image and whatever. Do that ever close my eyes? No, I'm not close my eyes. I will close my eyes and really look at that. Where is my lightest area? The lightest LEAs, where the sun hits the Cloud. Then I will see the shadows that are slightly darker. And that the farther away are the ticket, the cloud becomes, the farther away they are from design area, the darker the RECOMB. So that is what I want to achieve. I will start with the lightest area. The lightest area is the white of the paper. Then I will just make it darker and darker. Then we can shape the clouds actually with using the negative painting technique. Now, we will just shift the shadows and then she'll the actually clouds using the negative painting techniques. So instead of the painting, the clouds themselves shamed them using negative space it out. Let's make sure everything is evenly applied. I don't want to have any pools of water. I'm just soaking up anything that still might be too much. And I want to use rather a dump paper, but with enough moisture inside the paper.
