In a little less than an hour Dutch painter Janhendrik Dolsma demonstrates a 3 step method to paint life like clouds in oil paint. The division into chapters provides a clear insight into the required steps.
In addition, Dolsma shows in three 'Digressions' how artists through the ages have used all kinds of props to depict reality as realistically as possible. He ends with his own use of digital photography and the computer.
