Why paint over a transparent wash?
In this video Dutch painter Janhendrik Dolsma gives you 4 reasons to paint over a transparent wash:
1. It has a unifying effect
2. the possibility of applying highlights in the wet wash
3. the color of the wash sets the tone of the painting
4. colors blend in easily
Dolsma explains the process while working on his Evening Clouds painting.
Dolsma (1950) is an expert painter of clouds, beaches, dunes and of course the ocean. On his KZhead channel he shares a lifetime of painting experience in short tutorial videos with an emphasis on painting clouds. His full length tutorials (over 60 minutes) have found their way to buyers all over the world. Full tutorials can be found here: www.paintingskies.com/video/
Dolsma participated in exhibitions in the Netherlands, Germany, the UK, Taiwan, Spain, Belgium and the USA.

Love your style , great teacher
Thank you, David, appreciate it!
I've been underpainting washes for a few years now, even in my murals. It's improved my work, I think. Well done and good insight!
I agree, underpainting wishes has great advantages. Thanks!
The video doesn't explain how to make underpaint wash. Is it like mixing brown paint with a lot of linseed oil, or the paint should be mixed turpentine or white spirit? I appreciat your reply.
@@williamflaherty3168 I use Liquin Light Gel (Winsor & Newton) as a medium. It's a fast drying medium that allows you to resume working on the same painting the next day. For my washes I use a mix of Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ocher and a lot of Liquin.
@@PaintingSkies1 great ! Thanks a lot!
