Awesome! Why did it take me over a month of watching other limited value, overly chatty videos, before I finally found Paul. Wow, what a difference. Paul's explanations and demonstrations are more efficient and effective than any others viewed on UA-cam. Something is wrong with UA-cam's algorithms as I spent weeks looking for a good fit. The searches kept bringing up the same five or six artists that did not meet my needs. Then finally I came upon one of Paul's videos by accident and after that I immediately subscribed. His sense of humor is a happy bonus. Loved the Bob Ross tribute!
Hi Maria - thanks for the lovely comment and delighted you have joined us - keep in touch!
Agreed, finally I get it
Gorgeous! I am totally inspired by you. Xx
Yes, there's a lot of "tutorials" out there from folks who have no idea what they are doing. It takes a moment to figure out who to follow and who to ignore.
You sir are my favorite youtuber for watercolors. Cannot thank you enough for not charging for this valuable information.
Finally! I get it! Now I can draw buildings and stuff without getting a migraine! This is the best explanation I have ever seen. Thanks, Paul. I'm going to do this one, if it kills me! :) Love the autumny colours.
That's great stuff Margaret! - take it nice and slowly. I do this lesson with my students and for some it takes a little time to sink in - but it's really worth the effort!!!
I want to cry because none of my attempts look like your beautiful drawings Mr. Clark. But i never give up! :)
Thank you so much 😀 ... keep going, you'll get there!
"Are we sitting comfortably children?" I snorted unexpectedly with laughter...must be the pain meds. Enjoyable and informative, Paul. Thank you. 🎨
Glad you enjoyed it Gina - always love reading your comments!!!!
‘Are you sitting comfortably children?’ Is most likely from a radio show in England,when I was a child in England..It was called ‘Listen with mother’ and it would start with ‘Are you sitting comfortably?’ Then I’ll begin’...So cute...love these classes...make so much sense.
Gina, I had a chuckle at that, too! 😁
Haha I think it is the pain meds! I just had my wisdom teeth removed and I did the same thing 😂 Such calming video though. My watercolor Bob Ross 🎨
Thank you for taking the time to teach perspective , I’m learning a lot from your lessons , love your style of painting xoxo
You are so welcome Monica!!
I am 72 years old and this is the FIRST explanation of perspective that I’ve ever heard, which makes sense and gives you a method to follow. THANK YOU, Paul.
That’s great to hear Virginia 😋
What a straightforward explanation, easy to follow, and what a nice guy!
Thank you! I'm glad I found your channel
I have never had such a good lesson in perspective drawing. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful Carole!
Just what the doctor ordered, never thought too much about perspective, after watching ur video it makes sense to me, thank u
I can never get enough lessons on perspective, especially when they're as thorough and easy to replicate as this one. Thank you kindly, Paul!
You're very welcome RR - many thanks!
It was always a challege when I draw from a vanishing point with perspective. Thanks for the great lesson Paul. You are a good man.
Glad it was helpful!
Just happened to see this tutorial mentioned in an art Facebook page and thought I'd look into it. Wow! What a treasure to find! Perspective has always muddled my mind (I'm 72 yrs. young) but this was very clear and concise. Did a little "lookey-loo" into your book , too, and find I must have it!! I'm not a total beginner (5 yrs. into watercolor or any type of art at all) but I find I'm never beyond learning more of the basics. I love this little painting as well and will give it a go. Thank you very your generous teaching. Happy New Year from California!
Many thanks and a happy New Year to you too in California!
Oh my God! Simply amazing! Fall is my favorite color! So, it is midnight and I have seen two of your videos back to back. I will have to go over perspective and points tomorrow 😂 Thank you!
Great to hear Martha - enjoy 👍😀
Wow i never knew this detailed stuff about perspective drawing thanks for this! Loved the painting too. 👍🏽
Thank you so much Izzat 😀
Thank you for the vanishing points being actually applied in a painting. I found this so much more helpful,
I loved learning about perspective. I understood a little more watching through this tutorial a second time. Thanks Paul for all you do for us!!! You and Margo are the greatest!!! 😊
Thanks, Paul for making this so easy!!!
Oh my gosh! So, so helpful. Perspective is the bane of my existence. Thank you so much for breaking it down in easy to understand language.
Glad it was helpful Christina!
This is a fantastic tutorial for anybody learning to sketch. By following the perspective instructions step by step I've been able to produce something that actually looks realistic. Thank you !
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Paul, I love your tutorials. Line and wash has become one of my new fav's😊. I've been wanting to paint buildings but was confused about perspective. This lesson is GREAT! I'm going to book Mark it on my computer. Probably watch it several times. Thanks have a great day 💕
Thank you Paul for the refreshing course on perspective drawing.
Glad it was helpful!
That is the best explanation of perspective I’ve ever seen!
Wow, thanks Mark - great compliment!!!!
I remember my teacher trying to explain perspective to me and I finally just said I understood when I did not have a clue.
After watching this I realize that it helps if the one teaching understands the principles.
Many excellent artists just understand intuitively or they are good copyists and simply paint what they see.
I don't think you get this instruction even in many art schools.
Thank you so much. I learned a lot.
Thanks Andrea - nice comment and totally agree - you have to be able to 'see it' your self!
Andrea Marr, lol I have done the same thing sooooo many times throughout school when I still didn't understand something, even after asking questions about 3 times for the same problem lol. I could tell if the teachers were getting annoyed by me not understanding something, so I always ended up saying, Oh Yes I See it Now, 🤣🤣🤦♀️🙋♀️🙆♀️🤷♀️ Honestly I still do that every once in a while. 🥰🤭
Brilliant, as ever. Knowing perspective and putting into practice not necessarily the same thing.
I’ll watch over and over until it sticks! Many thanks for your inspiration and great teaching.
Glad it was helpful Dilys and good plan - watch it a few times and it will sink in!!!!
Thanks Sir Paul, for helping us get the correct angle to draw a house with the correct background, love your paintings. From INDIA 🇮🇳♥
You are very welcome
Watching you paint reminds me of my late husband. He was a lifelong professional artist and couldn't make a mistake. I've been an artist, and a journalist, and a mother, and for a time, a barmaid. Giggle. Until I retired I rarely had time to paint, now, I have long endless days to play. I do have to worry about eyestrain though after 8 or 10 hours hunched over the easel.
Great comment Robin and thank you - you are not alone with the eye strain thing!!!
Now I think I can do this, such a joy to watch you and hear your commentary as you go, such a lift to my day. Thank you for what you share.
You are so welcome Rita - happy to help!
Thank you so much Paul! Such a great lesson on perspective, and it has really helped me tremendously. When I looked at my drawing, I could tell something was not quite right, but never knew how to correct it. This makes so much sense now!
Glad it was helpful melody - many thanks!
This has to be the best and clearest explanation of perspective that I have ever seen or heard. I have just finished the drawing example and a couple of others using what I have learned and I now feel thrilled to bits. Thank you Paul for your teaching.
Glad it was helpful! thanks!
Loved this! I turned it into winter for a Christmas gift. Thank you, thank you! I am so ecstatic that I found your tutorials.
You are so welcome Gayle!
I understand perspective…well I thought I did. A seriously helpful explanation. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful April!
One of the best perspective tutorials I have seen. Thanks Paul !
Wow, thanks Tony!!
Another picture of yours that I came across and really like and will try to paint it this weekend.😅
This video was so helpful. The perspective was really enlightening. I followed along step by step. It turned out pretty good. Thank for the lesson.
Glad it helped Lizzy and thanks!
Brilliant. I have 3 books relating to perspective and your video is the first time I have understood it. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
I love your line and wash tutorials. More please! I learned a lot with this perspective lesson, thanks! You're a joy to follow! Thanks,Paul
Thank you Joyce - definitely more line and wash to come!
Have watched quite a few of your paintings I love the cottage. Thanks for the perspective lesson
You are amazing! It is always a miracle for me to see how you have a perfect feeling for the right time when to stop with details! I am always in danger from overdoing my paint and than it doesn't look good. Thank you very much! 💓🎉
Thanks Petra - I agree, knowing when to stop is a real challenge. I've ruined many paintings this way but it will come with experience! 👍
I've read and have seen demonstrations of drawing perspective before. This was the clearest one yet. Your video's production is very well done. Now I need to get off my arse and get painting!
Lol! - go for it Jean!
Great to see this lesson Paul. It certainly refreshes my memory and is a lovely picture.
Glad you enjoyed it Jackie - definitely a South Street exercise!!!
What a great tutorial! I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard a more comprehensive, yet simple way of doing perspective. You took the intimidation out of two point perspective for me. I’m a relative newcomer to your channel and I am really enjoying all of your wonderful tutorials. Love your style (in every way that can be ineterpreted)!
Glad it was helpful! - thanks so much!
Paul thanks for sharing your amazing detail in achieving a brilliant end result, greatly appreciating your videos to inspire others how best for improving our clear and detailed paintings too. Thanks greatly appreciated stay safe
Many thanks as always Phillip. glad you enjoyed it!!
It’s really a great way of teaching. The sounds of the birds and cows at the end are also very interesting.
I appreciate and enjoy this kind of teaching.
Thank you very much.
Many many thanks
That was perfectly understandable at last! I can see how it all works now.
Fab Linda - pleased it helped!
You are the best!!! The easiest presentation of two point perspective I have ever seen! Thanks so much for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks to your instruction, this one turned out pretty well for me!
Glad it helped Carol!
I am so glad that I found you, thank you so much for sharing your experience, teaching in easy way.
You are so welcome!
Your mini lesson on perspective is priceless! The clearest, simplest and most educational I have seen, thanks!
Honestly, I don't get why you don't have more subscribers given your artistic and educational talents... Hope that number of subscribers goes up quickly, it would be well deserved!
Wow, thanks Eric! - only been doing this 6 months so plenty of time to grow!!! - more to come!
This 3 year old video will never get old. Fantastic! And great music too.
Glad you enjoyed it! - thanks for the tip too!
Thanks again for a great lesson! I’ve always been able to draw but perspective always gave my left handed brain a cramp! I’ve watched this twice now. I’m going to give a go now! I’m always sad when your lesson ends!
Happy to help Dorothy!!!
A good review on perspective. A great example on how to put in trees and shrubs and make them appear to be real. Thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I finaly find a perfect enplanation of what i needed.Thank you so much fot this video!
Glad it was helpful Luksic!! - cheers!!!
Goodness that was the best perspective lesson I've ever seen! Thanks Paul...no more guess work!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks very much. Glad to have a refresher course on perspective, specifically relating to this drawing. I'm really excited to try this painting.
You're very welcome Carol - go for it!!!!
That was a revelation. Amazing. I have not received any kind of formal teaching in any kind of art / drawing and that lesson was brilliant.
Wonderful Jeff - delighted to help!!
Yeahhhhhh! I finally understand perspective! Thank you so much!
I'm so glad Donna! - Yeahhhhhh too!!!
This is soooo brilliant! The bit about finding the center of a rectangle with the help of diagonals is exactly what I would have needed a few days ago when painting my barn...
And I have the feeling that drawing the ink lines "broken" might prove just as important in the future. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This was wonderful!! I am new at watercolor and have been struggling quite a bit!! Thank you soooo much!!
Glad it was helpful Jenny! - if your new to it, be warned, it's very addictive!!!
Thank you for the clear lesson on perspective! A lovely painting, too! It reminds me of my grandmother's house.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great lesson on perspective for us newbies. I knew some of it but this helped put it into perspective.....lol. Awesome work. Now we cant draw a building and have it look normal
Glad it was helpful Marlene - many thanks!
Yes, I remember way back when hearing terminology Paul used and his explanation for why it is what it is makes perfect sense.
Always a brilliant demonstration. You are among the very best teachers Paul. Thanks.
Glad you think so!
I truly enjoyed this pen and wash tutorial and the perspective drawing instructions/tips were very helpful - thank you!
Glad it was helpful Lori - many thanks!
Thank you so much for showing how to do this properly! I like learning about your pen and wash technique.
Glad it was helpful!
WOW!! I am sure I'll have to watch this at least a dozen times before I get it right. The explanation of perspective you gave was great. A bit conry at the start- glad you don't carry on too much :) Your book should arrive today and I am anxious to get into it. I recreated your poppy field and I was quite pleased. Actually, I did 2- one from another youtube artist but yours is much more pleasing to the eye. Thank you for your instruction. I am having SO much fun.
Great stuff Cherly, many thanks - let know how you get on with the book!
Great lesson. Perspective has forever been my dread.... now I can't wait to start a new project so that I can practice this process.
This is lovely...I can’t wait to have a go x
Go for it Toni!!!
Thank you, thank you! For the first time in my long life, this makes a lot of sense!!! You are the best, Paul Clark!!!
Happy to help!
I have watched this so many times. I have been practicing it and I think I am getting it! I have never actually understood perspective, so thanks! Do you explain this in your book as well?
Thanks Kirsten - don't worry, it always takes time to sink in! - I do explain this in by book but perhaps not in so much detail.
Fabulous! Thank so much!
Just finishes painting this cottage, great lesson on perspective, thank you!
Great lesson! You make it look so easy! Thank you.
You're very welcome Susie!!!! - cheers
Excellent, clear quick and concise guide to draw a structure in perspective. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm working on a similar type of painting: my childhood house in the USA.
Great stuff Francis - hope it helps!
Oh wow, now I understand! I'm so happy - no more slanted, irregular-shaped houses and buildings anymore! Thank you so much! 🌹
Happy to help!
Thank you Mr Clark , drawing buildings this way is brilliant .. thank you again.
Paul - thank you for explaining perspective so well ... I think I have finally got it! 👍😀 I love your painting.
This subject usually scares me… But Paul, you have shown me the way 😊 It all makes great sense and once you stick to the formula it is easy as riding your bike 🚲 Thank you.. So grateful ✏️🎨🖍
Glad you enjoyed it
At long last!! A watercolor instructor I can connect with. I've tried so many different channels and couldn't connect with the instructor. You've got whst it takes to float my paint, am learning so much from you. Am working my way thru all the videos while patiently waiting for your book to arrive.
Wonderful! great to hear Lulu, delighted to help!
A great teacher that makes you excited to turn up to class and to do homework! Thank you Mr Paul !
Wow, thank you!
Paul, you are so much fun to watch as you paint! Thank you for all your teachings.
You are very welcome
Tq, I have always avoided sketching a building with the second point perspective. With this properly shown in the video, I have more confidence to revisit this theme.
Many thanks for this video on perspective going to give it a try . Good explanation all the best to you
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial on perspective! It gave me the courage to try my hand at painting a building for the first time. Absolutely enjoyed painting this.
Wonderful! - delighted to help!
Thank you Paul!! This is the best explained lesson on perspective I’ve seen! I actually understood it 😂🙈
The best lesson in perspective drawing. Very enjoyable and most informative. Love your art. Thank you!
Thank you so much 😀
Wow! I am addicted to your tutorials Paul. At last I get it! I also understand I must loosen up with my watercolour efforts. I start off that way but then seem to tighten up and overwork my paintings. I can honestly say you are inspiring me more and more to improve. I have been retired for many years and find painting and drawing make so much difference to my life. A very big thank you.
Glad you like them!
Thanks Paul! I have perfect time watching your lessons. Love it!!!!!
I vaguely remember this lesson of perspective from eighth grade art class (30 years ago!) thanks for the refresher!
Glad it was helpful!
Best lesson in perspective I have ever followed... but I'm only 74 so who knows what lies ahead!
Hi Sue - glad to hear that ... never too old to learn!
Wonderful! Especially the perspective one, which is very informative and detailed. Thank you Paul.
Glad you liked it!
Loved it! I took a drawing class and couldn't get it. So I found a high school teacher on line teaching her students and I got it. Watching you was like being in a classroom. Seeing it in a painting was great. Will try it. Paul when this COVID is truly over I'm coming to England to take one of your classes. God bless and stay safe!🤗
That is awesome and you would be most welcome here!!! - ! God bless and stay safe too! 🤗
Thank you Paul for all your instructions in perspective and painting and anything else you share with us. You are by far the best painting teacher I have found on UA-cam. You take the time to tell us everything and make your video fun and informative. You tell us the color’s and the ratios. So important to any beginner like me who wants to succeed in following your lessons. Even if they aren’t the same when I do it, it will be close. I’ve been teaching decorative painting in acrylics for 40 years and know the qualities of a good instructor. You are one fantastic teacher!!!
Loved how clearly you explained perspective. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
This is one of the most helpful videos I have seen. Thank you Paul.
Thanks! - delighted to have helped!
Excellent video! Thanks so much!! ...even my right brain understood that!
You're very welcome! - it's always good to have a two sided brain!!!
Your brilliant at explaining how to, put it all together. Think I'll go back to your style of sketching. Rather than the boxes, for a while. Thanks for your demonstrations, it's going to help me an awful lot again. Cheers dude. 🤝👌
You are the very best teacher! I never understood prospective very well!! Thank you so much!
Happy to help!
Damn finding this video was like striking gold! So much to learn here; I'm sure I'll rewatch it many times. I feel so indebted to you for providing this.
Oh my goodness. Now I get it. Thanks Paul. I don’t think I’ve had it perspective explained like that and now it makes sense.
Glad it helped!
Hi Paul. I am very new to drawing and painting and the thing I love to draw are buildings. However, my brain has been unable to grasp perspective. I have watched numerous UA-cam videos promising ‘the only video you will ever need’ etc and practiced over and over. Because I didn’t understand it my drawings always looked terrible. I discovered your channel a few days ago and absolutely love your work and the way you teach. As Tina would say…. Better than all the rest 🎼. Today this video popped up and I got it - immediately. You showed perspective in a way that my brain could understand and I am so excited to start my first scene in perspective 🎉. Thank you so much Paul.
Thanks so much and delighted to help - have you seen this recent video of mine - more good stuff about perspective at the start! ua-cam.com/video/tP31R7iGihQ/v-deo.html
