Greetings, Paul! I can’t express enough how much joy and inspiration your lively teachings provide. I’ve learned more watercoloring tips from you than anyone else. I now watch your videos more than the news - you have saved me! Thank you from Dave in Florida.
Amazing tutorial Paul. You're such an inspiring tutor and there is so much to learn in all your videos. I really love this one and I really want to thank you for your generosity in providing us with downloadable drawings. Without them I just wouldn't be able to tackle a lot of the work you show us so it is really important and a kindness that is rarely, if ever, shown by other tutors.
Paul you do not need this white colour adding it is already perfect. sorry this is my opinion. Keep it natural. The non watercolour media makes itartificial, believe me
I absolutely love this picture. My husband and I have watched it several time. I started working in oils first before trying watercolour while traveling on the Queen Mary 2 for a retirement trip to England in 2019. I was able to take virtual watercolour classes during Covid and have developed a love for watercolour. I found your UA-cam site in the last few weeks and have learned alot from the various videos. This picture is definitely one that I want to try painting for my next project. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I must have a go at this painting, it is just the sort of art my wife would have hanging in the bedroom reminding her of the summer months to come. Thanks for the in depth knowledge you share with the world, a true inspiration to us all.
@@ArtbyPaulClark Hi Paul, I am a total novice to watercolour painting and have been painting trees, people and the odd landscape to varying degrees of success. I was a technical engineer throughout my working life so everything was controlled to the thousandth of an inch and trying to let go of that has become somewhat a hindrance (I think I’m trying to be too precise). Again your tutorials are explained very, very well. Thanks
Oh man!!!!! Absolutely smashing tutorial!!! Thanks for getting out of your warm blanket to shoot this tutorial for us. I am definitely going to try this!!!
Who could not like this video? Great lesson, Paul! I am going to try this today. I took a photo of a lavender field in California, but I didn’t know how to approach painting it; and the techniques in your lesson gave me everything I need to do it. Thank you so much.
Wow this is stunning! I love watching you work your magic. I love lavender fields and nearly squealed with excitement when this popped up and it didn't disappoint. I can't thank you enough for these tutorials.
Thank you for another fabulous tutorial! I appreciate your humor and how easily you explain your processes. Hope you bought all your necessaries before your ❄ 😉
Magnifique aquarelle de la Provence; mon coin préféré en France...cela me fait rêver 😍...comme si j'y étais ! Merci beaucoup pour ce partage et bonne continuation.
Another great painting Paul which I’ve saved in my UA-cam folder to do at a later date. Well you asked for suggestions so I’d love a tutorial on a french cafe street scene. Looked through archive and can’t see one. 😊
Thank you so much for this!! I've been to a tulip farm here and tried several times to paint what I saw (without success). Seeing and hearing your lavender row instructions is such a big help! Thank you for your generosity in showing us all. It is lovely AS IS * White included. 🙂
This is lovely! Lavender fields are difficult to find in Maryland US. I can almost smell lavender in the air. Thanks for sharing your instruction and tips in watercolor painting .
Greetings from snowy Finland! Great video as always. Me and my wife are already big fans. Could you perhaps make a tutorial about how to paint snowy landscapes? (We have about 50 cm of the white stuff!)
Mercy! I have done similar in oil and acrylic using fan brush for plants. Yours is far better. All the small touches from years of experience have made this awesome work. I’m enthralled if you could not tell. My daughter took me to Provence if I could give her one even close to this it would give her great joy.😍
As a landscape and fine art photographer during the pandemic with nowhere to go I picked up my brushes after 30 years and painting has really helped me get through this tough year for us all. Now I can go where I like without leaving my studio. You videos are a fantastic teaching tool. I’ve learned so much from your skills as an artist. Thank you so much. My painting has improved no end since watching you on UA-cam. I’ve sold a number of pieces too. All the best from South Gloucestershire.
Hello and good afternoon. I just want you to know I love your tutorials and your sense of humor. As any good artist, you make it look so easy.. Since I am from the states I love your European scenes.I am waiting for your book to arrive and am looking forward to learning as much as possible. .
A real pleasure to watch and learn with your tutorial. I would like paint bench and chairs outside in front of a stone house for example. Thank you very much for the time you give to us.
Thank you for doing the lavender field painting. I have struggled with this subject over the past month and kept overworking it to death. I love how your painting has such lightness and airiness as well as the warmth it needs. Thanks for the peek outside too! When it snows here in middle Tennessee everyone runs to the store for bread and milk, schools close and traffic gridlocks...
I'm excited as well as scared by this tutorial. My grandmother-in-law had lavender back in Croatia. I will try this for a first visit after the pandemic.
Hi Paul, You are an amazing teacher and started in oils as a teen and then acrylics with some pastels,colored pencil, and watercolor pencil, with few watercolors. Have done a number of watercolors with my painting group and calmer and more comfortable with watercolor. But with your easy calm and encouraging teaching am excited to do watercolor on my own. Thank you and beautiful work! Thanks for the downloads of the drawings. It is a big help and very nice for you to share these. Looking forward to more tutorials. MikeT.
I want to say how kind you are to provide the drawings for your paintings!! Also I never tire of your cute humor! Thank you so much! We all need that, now more than ever!! Oh yes, I love your teaching too!! Thanks again!!
I'm in North Carolina - two inches of snow brings us into panic territory as well! Thank you so much for this! It's grey and dreary with cold-but-not-quite-cold-enough-for-respectable-snow rain coming down. Being transported to Provence was just the tonic I needed!
I've really enjoyed watching your Lavender field video and learned so much.After a few unsuccessful attempts to paint a lavender field,I' ll try again.Thank you for the inspiration you provide us.Learning from a very professional watercolor artist ,as you ,a great chance....I also thank you for providing us with your downloadable drawings , for your time and your perfect videos....
I’ve had a go, and while it’s not up to your fantastic standard, Paul, it’s not half bad! I’ve had quite a few compliments and I enjoyed the process. Thank you!
Love your cheery mood and sense of humor! Keep it up please...you are inspirational to us in Fl where many are struggling to get our Senior COVID vaccine shot amongst more outbreaks all around us!
I wanna paint like Paul Clark 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo! One of my favorite Flowers. Can only imagine what it smells like there. I can see myself taking a nap right in the middle of that field!! Thank you Paul, gonna give it a GO!
Oh Paul, I could smell the pungent aroma of the lavender as it filled the air..... This is soooo beautiful and calming. I'm sorry you guys have had such a cold snowy day it's been 70 and sunny here today but it's going to change back to cold... grrrr Thanks for this beautiful respite from the ugliness going on over here right now!!
This was a real game changer for me! Using the same color as the object you are going to shadow to make the shadow, is brilliant, and makes such a difference.
Loved this one. I'm quite pleased with my version. We have a new lavender farm opening in our area this spring. Can't wait to take lots of photos and then paint them using all the tips you shared on this tutorial. Thanks.
Going back to rewatch videos and saw that I had not watched this one yet. How did I miss it?!?! 🤷🏻♀️ I’m gonna try combining this with the Van Gogh tutorial (fingers crossed). I think it’ll look lovely together. Enjoy your trip and I look forward to seeing video of it when you get back.
You looked a little bit cold 🥶 there Mr Clark. That’s typical weather for western New York where I live. Snow ⛄️ and icicles abound. Thanks for sharing your summery lavender painting 🧑🎨. Stay warm and have another hot chocolate, maybe with a shot of Bailey’s ☺️
I am new to watercolor and have learned so much from the two tutorials I've just watched, this one (I love lavender fields) and the one on perceptive. Thank you for the time and effort it takes to put these together.
I just finished this watercolor for my wife for Mother's Day. Of course it was not as nice as yours but, it was a great learning experience and tons of fun. Thank you for the lesson. You have been extremely helpful. Thank you so much for your time and videos. Cheers!
I have 2 lovely friends to paint with. It’s my turn to suggest a subject- lavender fields is my choice. So happy I found this tutorial-can’t wait to get painting!
I painted this and guess what? yours look 1000x better but i'm so happy to put the colours on paper anyway and practiced ! it was fun. cheers ! from down under
Oh I love this tutorial! Thank you so much. I have a fabulous picture of a lavender field taken in France - where I come from - by my brother who is a super talented photographer. I made such a mess from my two first attempts. So, your tutorial is definitely going to help me. Great! 😊
Lol, love your humor. Excited to try this one. I tried a lavender field when I first started my art adventure about 16 months ago,,, it didn’t go well. Your video instructions give me hope that I will succeed with this one. Thank you!
This is gorgeous Paul - I can smell the lavender. It looks like one I could make a fairly good attempt at to. Thanks again and keep warm! It's bitterly cold here in Pembrokeshire but no snow.
Paul, I am a part of Facebook group called watercolor beginners and beyond and we so many people are trying this painting from the group and posting there... I am so glad I did and learnt tonns from you...Thankyou for teaching your style! 💞
If only I could teleport myself to a sea of lavender like this, veiled in the golden light at sunset....(sighing) 😊 Stunning and so much fun to paint ! Thanks. 💟
Hi Paul, that wa such a pleasure to watch. You give such clear instructions, especially about colour mixing, which I struggle with. Love it! Thank you!
I really enjoy your tutorials; your humour and teaching style is a great mix. I had a bash at this one, not as easy as you make it look! My table and I are covered in purple spatters!
Just discovered your channel and I’m thoroughly enjoying your painting style, sense of humor and choice of break time beverages. I’m excited to start painting some of your lessons. I’m from sunny southern California, the land of fruits and nuts, hence why I’m enjoying your sense of humor, cause there ain’t none out here right now.
I tried this! It took me a few hours and I moaned and groaned through the whole thing. But I think in the end it miraculously turned out okay! I like the light and shadows. Thank you for the excellent instruction.
Fantastic! Beautiful! Thank you! I especially like the tip about changing the color of the shadows on the lavender! Yes, that is just a dusting of snow here in Colorado! 15’F here this morning! I would move back to sunny So. Cal. In a hot second but need to stay here...so I am learning to paint!! Thank you for helping!💕
I finally got this one done! I struggled a bit at first with color mixing and too much water in the field causing paint to bleed everywhere. I didn’t give up though, I tried again and it turned out nicely. I’m learning a lot and appreciate your videos so much. Thank you.
Brrr that looked cold, thank goodness I was outside under my umbrella in 26 degrees and it’s only 8am in the morning, lol brag! Great picture. Loved the details in the rows with shading must watch again and follow very slowly. Think this could take me a while good two days if not three of painting. Thank you for braving the cold to show us how to paint this wonderful scene. Have a great week.
Dear Paul! Gosh, this gave me more cold sweat and (almost) nervous breakdowns than I care to admit. It looks so simple and innocent, but somehow I made more mistakes than ever before. But I also worked through them and learned a lot! As an example: phtalo turquoise and opera rose mix a wonderful lavender purple. All my other reds and blues, really don't. Saunders & Waterford paper really benefits from letting the water sink into it before painting (also makes the colour control way easier - first attempt had no visible space between the purple whatsoever). Scratching with a scalpel? Looks easy, needs practise! And so on and so forth. Now, this wasn't my first Paul Clarke Tutorial, I think I followed 8 of yours previously, but none had me as frustrated and doubting myself, like this one. However, thank you Paul, for challenging us! For making us want to improve! For your humour and kind heart! And all of your wonderful tutorials. Ps: if I could add: I struggle with your tiny details and added on bits. I add details and it looks cartooney. I added stems to the lavender and they made no sense. Do the details and knowledge, what to add when, come with time?
Another amazing tutorial by the man, the myth, the legend Paul Clark. Thank you again for sharing your talent. Your instructions are easy, fun and have made a huge difference in my paintings.
Warm greetings, Paul, from the country where two inches of snow ARE just dusting and holding a snow shovel is more familiar than holding a paint brush😂❄️💙 So nice to follow you warning lavenders tips and dream of the summer! Thank you so much! I’m thinking of painting close up sunlit snowdrops peeking out of melting snow. Thanks again and waiting for your next tutorial.
I love your mix of a tad of humor and technique. I’m a visual learner and you have helped me with a lot of sticky little problems ❤️
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome. Thank you ❤️
I just signed up, congratulations, it's a beautiful work
I love it Paul. Its my favorite color
Greetings, Paul! I can’t express enough how much joy and inspiration your lively teachings provide. I’ve learned more watercoloring tips from you than anyone else. I now watch your videos more than the news - you have saved me! Thank you from Dave in Florida.

Wow, thank you Dave - so pleased to help! - keep in touch. Do you know my sister? - she lives in Florida!
Margaret Butcher. As always a great tutorial. Such fun to watch but, oh dear, the splatter goes everywhere usually up my walls
@@ArtbyPaulClark Is she in The Villages??
Where in Florida, I’m in Orlando

You should Lou!!
The lavender is just beautiful and I also love the shadow of the house falling on the lavender!
Thank you so much!
You are so gifted. I watch you in awe. Inspirational tutorial for this beginner. Thank you!

Paul, of the several dozen artist tutors ive observed on UA-cam, you are the best. Please keep up the great work!
Very kind of you to say Rick!
Another great painting Paul which I’ve saved in my UA-cam folder to do at a later date. Well you asked for suggestions so I’d love a tutorial on a french cafe street scene. Looked through archive and can’t see one. 😊

You were born to create art and teach it!!!! Love it and love your sense of humor. Can’t say that enough. You make us laugh
I'm in to drawing historical buildings nowadays. How about a tutorial on Colosseum, Hagia Sophia or Tower Bridge etc.?
Good suggestion!
@@ArtbyPaulClark Hagia Sophia is my vote!

Thank you for braving the cold to show us how to paint this wonderful scene. Have a great week.
Cheers Paula and yes I am jealous!!! 26 degrees!!
This is Fantastic beautiful landscape Paul !!! I would like to Thank You !!! From Hungary.
You make watercolor magical.
Thanks Carole!
I just finished another of your tutorials. I enjoy each one as I learn step-by-step. Thank you, again and again for artistic mentoring!
You are so welcome!
I'm thrilled, watching this tutorial! Thank you for being explicit on your colors, brushes, and techniques. I'm feeling emboldened!
You are so welcome!
Dear Paul! Gosh, this gave me more cold sweat and (almost) nervous breakdowns than I care to admit. It looks so simple and innocent, but somehow I made more mistakes than ever before. But I also worked through them and learned a lot! As an example: phtalo turquoise and opera rose mix a wonderful lavender purple. All my other reds and blues, really don't. Saunders & Waterford paper really benefits from letting the water sink into it before painting (also makes the colour control way easier - first attempt had no visible space between the purple whatsoever). Scratching with a scalpel? Looks easy, needs practise! And so on and so forth. Now, this wasn't my first Paul Clarke Tutorial, I think I followed 8 of yours previously, but none had me as frustrated and doubting myself, like this one. However, thank you Paul, for challenging us! For making us want to improve! For your humour and kind heart! And all of your wonderful tutorials.
Ps: if I could add: I struggle with your tiny details and added on bits. I add details and it looks cartooney. I added stems to the lavender and they made no sense. Do the details and knowledge, what to add when, come with time?
Hey Cordee - great info and thanks for the comment!

A beautiful landscape...I will definitely try this. Your techniques and style are amazing. Thank you 🙏
Thanks so much 😊
Warm greetings, Paul, from the country where two inches of snow ARE just dusting and holding a snow shovel is more familiar than holding a paint brush😂❄️💙 So nice to follow you warning lavenders tips and dream of the summer! Thank you so much! I’m thinking of painting close up sunlit snowdrops peeking out of melting snow. Thanks again and waiting for your next tutorial.
Thanks for sharing Elena - great comment!
