Clouds in All Their Glory from Daytime to Sunset, in Oils” an online step-by-step demonstration with Alex Sharma

A Step-by-Step Online Demonstration with instructor Alex Sharma

WHEN:
90-MINUTES
Friday, June 20, 2025
(10am to 11:30am EST)
Your ticket includes access to the LIVE demo via ZOOM plus a copy of the recording, good to re-watch as many times as you’d like for 30 days!

Dramatic skies at sunset, or with high wind clouds, puffy cumulonimbus clouds, rain clouds etc., are often the reason that we are drawn to paint a scene. This paint along demo will cover the techniques used to obtain all the above types of cloud formations and the colors associated with them depending on the time of day.

Paint along in oils (or acrylics) with Alex Sharma as she demonstrates specific brush strokes, using alla prima (working all at one time while the paint is still wet) mixing techniques to obtain dramatic results. All you will need is oil or acrylic paints, heavyweight paper coated with gesso—or a canvas—and one or two good brushes.

Alex will use the following blue-sky colors along with other colors to change the clouds for atmospheric perspective, time of day and location:

Ultramarine Blue
Cerulean Blue
Phthalo Blue
Titanium White
Alizarine Crimson
Cadmium Yellow
Cadmium Red Light
Burnt Sienna
Sap – or other Green

NOTE:
Please be sure to Download & Sign-Up for Zoom ahead of time, it’s free! We will send you the Link to the session the day before the session. Late registrations will receive the link the morning of the session. You will be able to join the waiting room at 9:30am to ensure you are set up and ready to go. Attendees will receive a copy of the video on Monday afternoon following the demonstration, which will be good to re-watch as many times as you want for up to 30 days.

While this is a demonstration, and not a class, we do encourage you to ask questions throughout the demonstration because odds are if you’re thinking it, someone else is too. We ask all participants to stay muted unless asking a question so that we don’t pick up any background noise and ensure participants can hear and that our recording is clear as well.

SKILL LEVEL: 
This class is perfect for students of any level.
