"Paul Clark said that we could fish here!" - that burst me into laughter....Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!!!
@@ArtbyPaulClark you are a wizard 👏🏻👏🏻
@@ArtbyPaulClarkyes, that was funny
It made me chuckle as well. I have recently done a watercolour drawing of a rocky stack on the Isle of Skye. The whole picture is mainly muted browns and greys and it cried out for a little bright colour. I thought about putting a couple of rock climbers in brightly coloured lycra half way up it and did a quick google on a couple of climber's sites to see whether anyone had done it. The answer was that the rock was brittle, crumbly, very dangerous and a thoroughly unpleasant experience. So my picture of the Storr has no climbers on it.
Thanks
Karel here I loved your carrot body tip an the one shorter leg to convey walking . We must not forget not to add a bulb head. Can't wait to practice.
Thanks so much Karel!
I loved painting along with you on this one and really impressed my husband when I showed him the painting the next day. He said, "You did all that last night?" I learn so much from watching you. Now I'm not afraid of putting figures into my paintings. I did the rainy city street a couple of days ago. And of course, I love the humor you throw into your videos. Makes it all the more fun. Then I had to do some more research on Constable and his famous painting. Thanks so much!
Wonderful! - delighted to help Cynthia!
I never teach drawing by anyone but after seeing your videos I am able to draw water color painting....thank u❤❤❤....your videos are really helpful for us...
Thank you so much 😀
That is a beautiful painting, a place that is calming and restful. I wouldnt be at all surprised that people might say you gave permission to fish there. Lol, too funny. Thank you again for sharing all of your valuable technics with us.
My thoughts exactly - thanks!!
the end paintings are BEAUTIFUL! thank you Paul
Glad you like them!
Absolutely wonderful, Paul! I sooo enjoyed this one! I was wondering about how to bring in figures into watercolor! These tutorials, in my opinion, are so easily explained by you! I’ve seen other watercolor artist videos but they just don’t compare to yours. I have to say; your style and approach suits what I am always looking for. Others are talented as well, but my taste has always brought me back every Wednesday! Thank you for sharing your gift and encouraging all of us! God bless you, sir!
Thanks as always Charles - Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much for the wonderful video, explaining the process step by step. Was very much useful!
Agree with Charles, thank you Paul, your tutorials are very much appreciated!
Your tutorials and paintings are amazing! Off the chain! 😎🎉😎🎉🥰
Thank you so much 😀
Your willingness to share your talent is immensely appreciated. When you talk through your visual guidance it is inspiring and encouraging. The humor you interject is a delightful way to foster a more relaxed approach to the development of my skills. Many thanks! You are a gem! Smiles, a nod, and a wink to you and your sweetheart from across the pond 😊
This was a fun one. Loved the setting and learning how to add in the people. Amazing what a man with a fishing pole can add to the feeling of the scene!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really like your tutorials. I'm looking forward to Wednesday so I can watch them.
Yay! Thank you!
Paul, your painting is excellent. I thought I was getting better at watercolors, but watching you work made me realize I still have a lot to learn. Thanks for the lesson it's very helpful!
St. Petersburg
Thank you so much 😀
Excellent, Wednesday is now Paul Clark day! I was going to ask about adding figures, you beat me to it. thanks for all the great tips.
Enjoy John!
I call it watercolour Wednesday now
So inspiring. I had abandoned the idea of watercolour until I discovered your channel, thank you so much Paul! X
Comme toujours, une autre belle aquarelle. You are the best!
Beautiful!! How I like the reflections on the river !! Thank you Paul!
You are very welcome
Thank you Paul and will add hats, scarves and try to make the figures interact with each other, hopefully!
Another absolutely gorgeous and calming scene❤️ THANKYOU for the tip on how to include life!
Glad you enjoyed it!
May one day I could watercolour like these .... thank you ...
My pleasure 😊
I may sound repetitive, but how good your paintings are! Such a tranquil scene as your brushes dance across the paper.
Always good to hear from you!
Great tutorial, I will try painting people in my watercolors. I now feel more confident, thank you so much.
Stunning! Just love the reflections on the water, you actually make me feel I could have a go, which I will with trepidation. Love your work and tutorials so much. Thank you for keeping us all going. 👍
You can do it Eileen!!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your drawings. I just painted this with you and had a wonderful time doing it. I'm still very new at watercolor but your way of teaching makes me feel that I can do it and not be afraid of trying it.
You are so welcome!
Absolutely beautiful Paul. You make it look so easy. Very calming thank you so much!!!
So nice of you Michelle!
Magnifique aquarelle 👍👍j adore
Verry verry Nice aquarelle 👍👍thank you for this tuto
Merci aussi Genevieve!
Thank you so much, I have been wanting to progress to adding an odd figure or two and dog but clueless how to go about it.
As a beginner I am managing to produce some good paintings thanks to you. Much appreciated!
You're very welcome!
That was a clear and very useful explanation about figures. I have avoided them so far, but this encourages me to try.
Great. - give them a go!
That was a magic tutorial Paul. I have often painted something that I thought needed some 'life' in it but was terrified to attempt putting in figures in case I ruined my 'masterpiece'. I am genuinely going to do what you said and practice this over and over until it comes kind of naturally to me. The overall painting is really wonderful. Thank you so much.
You are very welcome as always!!!
Great tutorial again Paul. Simplicity is the name with the figures then. Can't wait to give this painting a go 🎨👍
Have fun Paul!
Another beautiful piece of art. Will definitely try this one Paul. I am very new to watercolour but your style and subject appeal to me so much. Already tried one of your snow landscapes and was quite pleased how it turned out considering it was only the 2nd one I’ve tried and that is thanks to your expert tuition! Is it possible to paint a bluebell scene please? Love walking through them in spring. Thank you again - you’re a ⭐️
Thank you so much Caron 😀 Bluebell woods definitely planned!!
What a really nice painting, I've just started watercolour painting after 60 years. I enjoyed watching and I hope to try it out.
Thanks a lot. Rob
Great to hear Rob and good luck in your watercolour journey!
Paul Clark you are amazing. You are very generous to share your skills. I am learning a lot. Thank You
Glad you like them!
The little dog is adorable.
Cheers!
OMG, so fun I loved it. Learned so much so. Reflections in the water, tree brush strokes....... and the people. Marvelous, tx
Glad you enjoyed it
This is wonderful. You explain how to do things so we’ll and make painting so easy. Thank you for your tutorials
That painting hung in my home when I was a child! Really brought back some great childhood memories.
That's awesome Jacqueline - great to hear, it's a wonderful painting!
Still catching up with all the previous videos. My still to paint list is growing! I’ve visited here on holiday so it is definitely a must do! Thank you for all your guidance 👏🧑🎨
Have fun!

Thanks for the great tutorial on adding people to painting. I’m certainly going to practice and then give it a go as I agree they add interest to a picture.
Glad it was helpful!
I new about perspectives but you explain a lot better and a re-cup is always welcoming, you are amazing!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
The way ur brush move on paper, found so easy but when I tried not so easy. I need lot of practice. I really like ur teaching.
Thank you so much 😀
I searched for this topic as I struggled with a painting of Sand Bay near Weston yesterday. I've learnt a huge amount more than I bargained for watching this though. A big thank you
Glad it was helpful! ... thanks!
i love seeing landscapes with the movement of people included... they seem to make it easy to imagine being there. appreciate the tutorial!
Thanks Jan!
Thanks for the people and the river and the trees. All things I need to practice more for my book. Even a house, although my families house in the story isn’t quite that grand. Back to practicing. Practice practice practice!
You can do it!
Paul, It was so much fun watching you paint and I enjoy your personality and humor shining through. Your watercolours are wonderful. I'm definitely going to incorporate a few CarbOthello pencils in to my next painting. I learned a few new techniques watching you today. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill so generously. 😊 I began watercolour painting with the lovely Terry Harrison, another great UK artist. 🇬🇧 Thank you. I'm so glad I found you on You Tube.
I wish you all the best.
Laura
Lovely comment Laura - thanks so much!!!
human DNA, love it, Paul
You are a master teacher! Thank you so much!
Wow, thank you!
As usually, another beautiful painting. Love knowing how to do the little figures.
Thanks so much 😊
Hello from Texas Mr. Clark! Your paintings are gorgeous! I’m a beginner and appreciate you sharing your techniques. Thank you!🌷
Another Great tutorial. So many skills to learn. Thanks for your very generous sharing!
Thank you for sharing this! I have always avoided figures for that exact reason - lack of confidence in drawing them/fear of ruining what I've done. I will practice now!
Glad it was helpful!
What an excellent tutorial and beautiful painting! I need to add a figure to a coastal scene and didn’t know how to approach it in watercolor. This is so helpful for that and so much more.
Glad it was helpful!
Watching you paint is just soothing. Thank you for this week's bit.
My pleasure 😊

Glad you like them!
I so look forward to your Wednesday class, your ability to teach and explain what you’re doing as you go along is so valuable. Your humor is icing on the cake !
Thank you so much!
I follow so many watercolor tutorials but you teach so clearly. I like that you tell what brush # and what mix of colors you use because that’s what I struggle with. I also go back to your work for techniques. Thank you
Thank you so much 😀 - have you seen my brush video: ua-cam.com/video/f_ZXsNBGxGE/v-deo.html
This is art, watercolor is the most complex technique, there is no room for error, the only painting technique that cannot be falsified, once again BRAVOOO!!!
Thanks so much!
Paul Clark my favorite watercolor instructor, making every stroke seem so simple and with a smile. Love this one so much Paul ☺👍
Wow, thank you so much!
Thank you Paul, you are a legend.🕺

Will be practicing my figures.Thank you.
You got this!
Seeing how the painting is formed little by little is magical ... 😍 The beauty of the landscape, of each brushstroke, the music, your beautiful English accent is really healing. A shot of art therapy without adverse effects that you can take without precaution! THANKS
Thanks as always Laura!
I"m at the point - the finishing point - of a painting and now I must add a figure! And I don't want to muck it up! I remembered this tutorial -- thank you so much. As of this date there are 963 comments and 96,000 + views so it must have really been needed. Again, thank you.
You can do it!
