In this video, I share about my cloud painting process using Golden Fluid, Golden Heavy Body, and Golden OPEN paints. Through the journey of creating a cloud painting, I highlight the differences and uses for these three types of Golden paints, as well as show you how to achieve the fluffy effect in acrylics. I also cover some basics of underpainting and share some art tips about working with acrylics.

The original demo took place via Zoom on July 11 2025. Many thanks to Bonney Ruhl from Opus Art Supplies who hosted this event and provided this recording.
