From sketch to final.
This piece started with quick thumbnails to explore different compositions and moods.
Once I chose the one I liked the most, I developed it into a rough sketch and then into the final painting.

I mainly paint in Photoshop, but I also use Rebelle 7 when I want a more traditional look and feel. In my opinion, Rebelle has one of the best brush engines out there. The brushstrokes feel amazingly natural.

This is a super cloud formation I painted a few years ago from a photo I took on the street. I was really drawn to the shape and the way the sunlight hit it in that moment. I love painting fluffy clouds.

If you enjoy fantasy landscapes and atmospheric paintings, you can follow me for more.

Landscape study from a few years ago.
There’s a lot of brushwork in this one (you can see it more clearly in the last picture).
Do you have a favorite element of nature to paint? (mountains, clouds, rocks, trees, etc.)

I enjoy drawing, but painting hits differently.
There’s something magical about brushstrokes 🖌️
Which one do you enjoy more, drawing or painting?

Recording a real-time study video for this month’s Patreon. I like having this workspace in Photoshop where I can keep the reference at hand while doing the study.

Clouds study. Apart from painting mountains and trees, I really enjoy painting clouds. They can be quite challenging, and it’s incredible to see how they’re not just white. Depending on the sun’s position, the type of clouds, and their altitude, you can observe a wide range of colors.
