#paint clouds

I forgot to snap a photo of the setup for this but it was quite simple: I used a clear vase with flat sides filled with water, placed my minifigure inside on a wire to hold him up and shot diluted acrylic paint into the water using a syringe. To the left of the vase, was my flash which I diffused with a white paper. It was fun to try and I'll definitely be trying more with paint clouds in the future.

It makes no difference how to paint clouds. Well, you paint something if it doesn’t blend in with the rest of the picture. The important thing is to keep focused on the big picture rather than getting bogged down in the particulars. Take regular, deliberate breaks from your painting. Take the time to explore and give the final touch to your cloud painting. Examine it further. Don’t run away from issues in the cloud painting.
