I really like this set up with just one camera. Looking forward to seeing how you build on the clouds.

Great demo! Enjoyed your thoughts & seeing the mixing! Thank you for sharing the paper tip. Having limited space, the paper is an asset for practice & storage in my situation.

Marc, thanks for doing clouds for us. I love your paintings with clouds so much!

I wanted to ask you if you are thinning the paint at the beginning... is that neomeglip? Do you use paints that are creamier maybe? Thank you!

Thank you Marc. I enjoyed the linear and atmospheric perspective talk and I made these notes in my notebook.

Linear Perspective:Seeing the bottoms of clouds or larger overhead versus only a small side of the cloud in the distance

Atmospheric Perspective: Warmer grays using reds and yellows in overhead or nearer masses while yellow then red drops out in the distance leaving only cooler blues. Also using Ultramarine the warm blue closer and Cobalt the cool blue in the distance and down on the horizon

I’m really enjoying these and learning or reinforcing a lot.

Had tried the Arches Huile paper and found it to be far too absorbent without a coat of gesso. Ordering the Legion paper today.

Thanks Marc!

Just to confirm because I have so much Arches oil paper to use up ~ retouch varnish sprayed on before the oils to prevent absorption and did you once mention to me to use the reverse smoother side of Arches? Loving the demos..
