  • In this demonstration, Peter Woolley will show how the technique of 'Stopping Out' can be used to create a complex cloudscape.
    With care and practice, it's possible to vary the intensity of the area you lift out and create subtle graduations. In this way, it's possible to to blend it into the surrounding wash so that you can't see the join.

    I particularly like the bold use of darker grays here . We all know once watercolors dry they seem lighter than when first put down . The final effect of multiple layering is wonderful as it gives us the whole tonal range . Bravo

    This turn out beautiful. I've tried to paint clouds in watercolor many times & used the method you showed here. Mine of course are near as beautiful as yours came out, but practice makes perfect. I sure hope so! Using 200 lb paper I realize must make a big difference, I've only used 140 lb. So now I'll try it with the 200 lb. Its very easy to destroy your paper very fast if not careful, or even if you are careful. This is the fourth video I've watched of yours & I've learned quite allot from them all, even though they weren't very long. So thanks very much for each one and the fun ideas I learned. The sheep were by far the most fun!😊
