Online Masterclass #2 Transform Your Skies: Mastering Realistic Fluffy Clouds
Watch, pause, rewind and watch again as you paint along! This painting masterclass unlocks the secrets to painting realistic fluffy clouds with confidence and ease.

Let me guide you through my process of simplifying an image, identifying key shapes, colours and values. Then we will build up layers of gradually adjusting and refining areas to produce a light filled painting that is vibrant and full of energy and atmosphere, using loose dynamic brushstrokes.
