Clouds and skies.

Thanks Peter!
Like much your last one, especially the clouds

beautiful ones Silvy and Peter Stephen and all others. I found a very simple way to make clouds in artrage3 using a sticker I made called fluffy clouds along with minor touches of spray tool for tinting and the heavy blurred ice palette knife. Works great. Someone could do even better but here are a couple of quickies showing the effect.

Sheesh! GZ! That is beautiful. I especially like the one on top.

Thanks Fashmir.. and it's really fast to do these. I will try to add the sticker and preset in the art supplies area. It's a fun sticker to play with.

Great stuff gz. I look forward to playing with that sticker.

Great stuff gz. I look forward to playing with that sticker.

Boxy, the real magic is not in the sticker but inside that heavy frosting palette knife engine which is just amazing... but

here's the sticker and preset.

use the soft blending brush sticker and the fluffy clouds preset.
then I go over areas with the heavy frosting preset on the knife.
I also included the airbrush preset I use for tinting and making small cloud chains.
I would love to do a screen capture video to show how I do this but alas my computer's graphic card not up to the task required. it's an oldie.
This is a really fast way to make clouds.

Sheesh, these are beautiful clouds Gz! I'm with Fashmir in loving those first watercolorish ones...

Found some interesting clouds after a storm yesterday, if anyone wants to use em as a reference or practice... please do. Figured this would be the best place to put them.

I have larger files, if anyone would prefer those, just let me know. PM or whatever.

Happy Skywriting.
