    No, it isn’t. I now have my own brand of White Medium called FastFlo White Basecoat Medium. It’s a thin, white oil medium which allows you to get subtle blending directly on the canvas. Watch some of my more recent YouTube lessons to see how it works. You’ll find it available at jerrysartarama d o t com

    Is this ‘Magic White’ something similar to ‘Liquin’ ? (Which I use for glazing)

    No. Sorry, I don’t.

    Am pleased about that. Am a traditional Oil user too. Do you have a tutorial on painting clouds that are below, or slightly below the viewpoint ?

    These are traditional Oils. I’ve never cared for the water-based variety.

    Yes, though you may want to use a retarder to slow the drying time.

    Yes, this approach will work with Acrylics, too. I’ve never heard of those “whites” you mention. I always use Titanium White in my Oils.

    wow, thank you so much for this lesson! I’ve always struggled with clouds! They never lookes realistic. I’m going to try it again your way soon – again, thank you so much, you are my hero! 🙂 I’m trying to get my hands on your DVD as well!

    Thanks for watching. I just filmed 4 new complete painting lessons a couple of weeks ago. The film crew is currently editing, adding graphics and soundtrack, etc. They will be posted in the near future. Be sure to check ’em out!

    This is a fantastic Tutorial. Thank you so much for your painting lessons!
    My painting teacher is great at providing feedback during critiques and while observing us; but he didnt tell us “how” to actually make our clouds or landscapes. For a beginning painting class it feels necessary to learn these basic techniques.

    tl;dr
    Thank you so much! You’re awesome

    Thanks for the help! I’m in the process of a surrealistic-style painting where I’m using clouds and I just couldn’t get them to look, well, like clouds. This really helps!

    It may sound hard to believe, but it’s true. There are thousands of companies out there who are willing to pay for your opinions regarding their products. This is an important part of product research, and they rely on people just like you for your honest opinion!

    Imagine getting paid for doing things like:

    – Trying out new menu items from popular restaurants
    – Take short surveys about new cars that are coming out soon
    – Give your opinion about new clothing and shoe designs
    But here’s a problem, it’s very hard to find out best survey site and you probably can waste too much time but I just stumbled up website http://get-surveys-for-money.com where this guy Jack revealed his secret source where he registered and taking surveys in his free time and earning $265 within 12h and $1440 just within 2 weeks
