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!
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.
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.
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!!!
‘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.
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!!! 😊
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!
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.
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 💕
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.
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!
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
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! 💓🎉
Brilliant explanation!!! Thank you! I enjoy your channel not only for your expertise but also because of your enthusiasm. Nice blend of education and entertainment.
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!
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!
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 !
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.
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
Hi Paul. Recently came across your videos. Finished painting this picture yesterday. It’s turned out beautiful. Thanks to you. I really liked the way of how you taught to draw , explained it step by step.
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.
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?
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.
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. 🥰🤭
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!
Hi again Paul. I did this today. I can't paint as fast as you, but I took my time. 3rd painting of yours. Thanks. My family always tell me they love them. They better!😅🤣
Great explanation of vanishing points which I have never really got before but will now give a go. Love line and wash as it is so much easier to do when en plein air. I also like the illustrative look it has. Many thanks.
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!
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)!
I'm new to watercolour/Gouache and found this very helpful. Thanks also for the lesson on perspective I've never been any good with that :) Looking forward to trying this when I get back from work tonight.
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!!!
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!
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.
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.
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 ✏️🎨🖍
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.

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.
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!
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 😋
Many thanks for this video on perspective going to give it a try . Good explanation all the best to you
You sir are my favorite youtuber for watercolors. Cannot thank you enough for not charging for this valuable information.
You are a great teacher. Thank you. ❤️
You are so welcome!
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!!!
Really helpful video on perspective and water colouring. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
I have never had such a good lesson in perspective drawing. Thank you.

You are so welcome Monica!!
So great. I needed this lesson.
Good to hear Rita
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!
Thank you for the lesson.
"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 🎨
Oh my gosh! That was wonderful!! Your a great teacher…thank you🌹
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!
thank you for that! amazing!
That is the best explanation of perspective I’ve ever seen!
Wow, thanks Mark - great compliment!!!!
I understand perspective…well I thought I did. A seriously helpful explanation. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful April!
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!!! 😊
Just what the doctor ordered, never thought too much about perspective, after watching ur video it makes sense to me, thank u
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!

Many thanks and a happy New Year to you too in California!
Thank you so much ,Paul! Thank you for your time and best lessons.
Glad you like them!
One of the best perspective tutorials I have seen. Thanks Paul !
Wow, thanks Tony!!
Thanks, Paul for making this so easy!!!
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.

Great comment Robin and thank you - you are not alone with the eye strain thing!!!
You make it look so easy I cannot wait to get started thanks Paul.
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 💕
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.
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!!!!
A great teacher that makes you excited to turn up to class and to do homework! Thank you Mr Paul !
Wow, thank you!

This 3 year old video will never get old. Fantastic! And great music too.
Glad you enjoyed it! - thanks for the tip too!
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!
Thanks Sir Paul, for helping us get the correct angle to draw a house with the correct background, love your paintings. From INDIA 🇮🇳♥

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!!!
Paul, you are so much fun to watch as you paint! Thank you for all your teachings.
You are very welcome
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! 👍
Brilliant explanation!!! Thank you!
I enjoy your channel not only for your expertise but also because of your enthusiasm. Nice blend of education and entertainment.
Thank you very much!
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!
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!
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!!!
Very neat explanation Sir!
Many thanks 😊
Thanks very much. Glad to have a refresher course on perspective, specifically relating to this drawing. I'm really excited to try this painting.

Thanks to your instruction, this one turned out pretty well for me!

Good luck! ... and thanks!
I finaly find a perfect enplanation of what i needed.Thank you so much fot this video!
Glad it was helpful Luksic!! - cheers!!!

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!
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
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.
Hi Paul. Recently came across your videos. Finished painting this picture yesterday. It’s turned out beautiful. Thanks to you. I really liked the way of how you taught to draw , explained it step by step.
Wonderful! - glad it was helpful and a big welcome!
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!
You are amazing, this is my first time watching your video, i love the way u explain everything 🤗
subscribed.
Thanks and welcome Rena!
This is lovely...I can’t wait to have a go x
Go for it Toni!!!
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!
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!
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. 🥰🤭
Great lesson! You make it look so easy! Thank you.
You're very welcome Susie!!!! - cheers
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 👍😀
I'm working on a similar type of painting: my childhood house in the USA.
Great stuff Francis - hope it helps!
Hi again Paul. I did this today. I can't paint as fast as you, but I took my time. 3rd painting of yours. Thanks. My family always tell me they love them. They better!😅🤣
Wonderful NY, so pleased! - I can't paint that fast either! - I always speed the film up a bit!!! 😅🤣
Great explanation of vanishing points which I have never really got before but will now give a go. Love line and wash as it is so much easier to do when en plein air. I also like the illustrative look it has. Many thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
You are the best!!! The easiest presentation of two point perspective I have ever seen! Thanks so much for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
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!
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!
I'm new to watercolour/Gouache and found this very helpful. Thanks also for the lesson on perspective I've never been any good with that :) Looking forward to trying this when I get back from work tonight.
Always a brilliant demonstration. You are among the very best teachers Paul. Thanks.
Glad you think so!
I learned more from watching your video than I did in art class at school! Thank you! 💡🤓
That is awesome - thanks Coletta! 🤓
Just finishes painting this cottage, great lesson on perspective, thank you!
Brilliant I’ve read loads of books on perspective but you explain it better than any book thank you
Wow, thank you!
So timely for me. This tutorial is spot on. I love your use of color 😍 💕 Very beautiful. 🤩
Thanks so much 😊
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!
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!!
out of my art class in my younger years how to draw a building is the only one I do remember......Thank you for the refresher course.
Pleased to help Edie!
The best lesson in perspective drawing. Very enjoyable and most informative. Love your art. Thank you!
Thank you so much 😀
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.

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!
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!
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!
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!
Excellent, clear quick and concise guide to draw a structure in perspective. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
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
Goodness that was the best perspective lesson I've ever seen! Thanks Paul...no more guess work!
Glad you liked it!
