Michele, your channel is one of the best.
Dark stormy moody skies would definitely float my boat.
Stormy skies added to video to do list!
Another excellent video Michelle! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! ❤
Glad it was helpful!
I'm retiring next week and will be taking up watercolour painting as my main retirement hobby. This is a much bigger subject than I'd anticipated which only excites me even more - so much to learn, so many ways to experience triumph and disaster!
Can't wait to paint my first "proper" painting, but will start very slowly for now, lots of studies, build my confidence and experience - and keep your wonderful videos and generous advice close to hand at all times. I'm a total novice but your videos are immensely helpful to me - thank you, and thank you again😊 If you're ever giving a workshop in Yorkshire, please let me know.
Good luck with your retirement! Exciting times :-)
I have made all 10 mistakes painting skies and probably more, video so helpful thanks Michelle.
I am impressed by your comprehensive coverage of mistakes :-) Seriously though I am glad you found this helpful!
I would not consider lifting with tissue a mistake. It makes beautiful clouds. Used properly, of course. Blotting randomly over paint layer is a case of a beginner or a child probably.
thank you Michele , that was fantastic...Ive been making the mistake of wetting the paper too much. Your tips are SO helpful.
So glad!
Thank you, Michele, for suggesting a touch of pink added to the cooler blues. I never thought of doing that, but it will solve a delimma I am currently having. I tested both Cerulean and Pthalo and they looked too cool for the floral I'm painting. Adding some of the pink I'm using in the flowers should do it. Your videos are always so helpful. I appreciate the time and effort you put into doing them for us.
You are very welcome Sandy!
Ah the sky in Australia is awesome. Skies that until recently have been covered in smoke haze. Now it's just overcast with major rain. Thanks for all the awesome tips as usual Michelle. Much appreciated.
You are very welcome and so pleased the fires have gone, it was heartbreaking to see 😥
Really useful thanks. Big brush a good tip.
Thanks!
Another brilliant video thank you x
You’re welcome 😊
Great video! Especially the scary part about the paint pools sneaking in under the tape when you're not looking, and ruining your painting! 😄😂💕
Glad you enjoyed it, scary paint lol
Great tutorials! Lovely!
Thanks Jackie!
Gold Coast in Australia during the pandemic. Our blessing and silver lining is the sky at present. The prettiest sky blue you will ever see. Am experimenting with colours to capture our sky. Thank you for your tips Michele🙏🏻💖💖
Sounds a good place to be. I come originally from London, and have always missed it, but currently I think I am much better off out in the countryside!
As a covid incarcerated absolute beginner of water colour painting, I would love to know how to paint a wild stormy sky and a dark moonlit sky. I have been binging on land and sea scape utube tutorials.
Thank you for all the lovely tutorials and words of wisdom.
Noted, so glad you like the tutorials!
Love all your tips! As Sassy Cat, I am also in Australia. Now the rains have come and we should see some magnificent skies and landscapes. The tress that weren‘t burnt to a crisp are now starting to shoot again.
Thanks, that is good news, we are sick of rain in the UK everything is flooded, it's crazy that you needed it and we had too much :-/
Excellent tips. Stormy skies are my fav.
Thank you 🙏
Great tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Very useful, thanks
You're welcome!
Thanks Michele for sharing your talent again, the sky is where I've struggled with many times. Enjoyed this video as always which I can get info to help everytime. Greatly appreciated stay safe.
Thank you so much!
Multi colour skies with clouds please, sunsets, stormy, white fluffy clouds, rain clouds would be great. Thank you for all your advice and for demonstrating these great tips and techniques.
You are very welcome Julie, I am thinking of doing sunsets very soon and will certainly be doing other types of skies in the future :-)
In the Studio with Michele Webber
Wonderful, I’m so unsure about these techniques, what to do and at what point. I’ve been painting for 18 months and more recently in water colours following Anna Mason technique but I really want to spread my wings a bit now. I look forward to seeing how you do multi colour skies especially sunsets 😊
@@juliedavies3481 Anna Mason is good. Botanical. :-)
In the Studio with Michele Webber
Yes she is an excellent tutor and I have learnt so much in the school, it’s very specific though, detail on hot press which I love but want to experiment more 😊 too much time on my hands now I’ve retired 😂
@@juliedavies3481 A lot of botanical artists use hot press. You get precision but it's not an easy way to work, as the paint is far more likely to puddle if you are inexperienced 😏
Oh I love love love your videos. So interesting and informative. Your voice is so southing enven when your speeding up the pace at time, it’s conducive to learning. Great tips. Now going stretch watercolour paper.
Thanks so much Sylvie ☺️ It's funny, I never even knew how my voice sounded until I made videos 🙂
Sylvie Carpentier: Boy, you really know how to butter up the teacher! (Saying you were going to stretch paper! Lol)
TY for sharing your Art and Skill. New Sub Here.
You are very welcome ☺️ Thanks so much for subscribing 🙂
How did I miss this? Guess I need to apply paint in 30 seconds. 🙀
Michele is like having a Michelangelo as a Tutor, lots of experience and tips, and we have been told how NOT to do it. Tough love. We cannot secretly cheat ,Michele just knows.
It's said that I may be a witch... 😏🙃
I will definitely be experimenting with a big sky study very soon.
Although I use holbein almost exclusively, I did order the RT Opera Rose you spoke of for mixing.
Pthalo , cerelean, and Prussian blue will be on my list as well.
I saw your great video on mixing green and will swatch those as soon as I can. Holbein has a really beautiful line of greens also and if you or your students have never tried it, the holbein quinacridone gold is like having 4 or more different colors in one depending on the water added. Take care and thank you! You don't look at all like a corpse that was just dug up, you are very pretty English Rose 🌹
Thanks Tom! I haven't tried Holbein yet :-)
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber you don't need to, what you have is top notch. They just happen to be what I went with instead of monkeying around with a bunch of beginners sets
One more excellent video! Thank you Michelle! (You've got one nice day a year -at the end of August lol! )
Lol, actually we had some nice weather last year but I am sick of winter at this point. Amazing the studio didn't blow away this week!
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber I remember back in the day when I lived in England my skin would become so pale by May that all my veins would show through making me look rather ultramarine bluish all over lol!
I think mine looks like that all the time 😆
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber come over to Greece for a couple of weeks and that'll change lol!
I live in Australia our skys here are completely different colors to The UK & USA.
I am new here. I really enjoy your tutorials. How do you "stretch" paper?
A stormy type of sky tutorial interests me here in Seattle. 😉 Seems like lately its just been day after day of gray then more gray followed by even more gray. Ugh
Stormy skies are nicer to paint than experience I think 😉
Re: lovely summer day - "we have one. once a year." HAHA.
True story
Ha, I have just been blotting my clouds with kitchen roll, thought I had discovered an easy way to do it, oh well, have to scrap that then. Onwards and upwards.
I'd love to learn how to paint stormy clouds with a bit of sun rays coming through. I try, but the results look more like an apocalyptic meteor shower.
Ah, good suggestion for a future video thank you!
Sorry, I just saw the link for stretching paper.
