You give the right amount of sped up and real time. Thank you for all the time you put into creating and editing these videos! They are a treasure!
I appreciate that! thanks
I really love this video. I love your joyful kind personality, I love your helpful hints as you do certain things, I really like watching you painting while the music is playing too. For me, this is definitely a WIN!!! Not boring at all! Great video! And thank you for sharing your time and talent. I pray God blesses you double.
Thank you so much Sharon!
Yes! Completely agree. 😊
Your auto card (CAA here and have my old one handy) sculpt the most realistic and three dimensional rocks. This is a lesson worth saving and practising. We even got a little rare afternoon of sun for inspiration, so thank you Paul. Just going for a cup of cocoa . . .
Дякую за урок живопису! Також приємно бачити український прапор у кадрі, це підтримує українців у ці складні часи❤
Oh Paul, this is gorgeous! I can't wait to paint this one! Keep the snow scenes coming,, please! Thanks for you wonderful demos.
Thank you, I will
Yes please to more snowy scenes. I love the real time segments, they do help me slow down as i am terrible at waiting for the paint to dry. Listening to your instructions and helpful tips are far more valuable than slowing the video down. Thank you so much for everything you do, I'm going through a very stressful time at the moment and watching your tutorials makes me forget about my worries for a while.
The real time sections are invaluable. It would be great to have a full tutorial in real time. And there is no way any of your tutorials would be boring. Watercolour Wednesday is the highlight of my week 👍
Anyone wondering how a watercolour tutorial could be 30 mins at mostly 2x, doesn’t understand how jam packed with advice, tips and fun are included. YES I love the real time segments, especially on techniques I’m trying to learn. This is a stunning painting and you have inspired me to give it a go. I love your landscape “from anywhere” scenes, as opposed to something geographically specific. Thanks Paul, I really really enjoyed this one. 200k is just around the corner. 🇨🇦
Lovely! More real-time segments would be helpful to me. Thank you!
I agree with mezzodolce, Paul. Please, once a month make a full length video. Consider changing the speed to 1.25 or 1.50? This way it won't take as long to sit through, but it would allow you the time to give advice where it's needed. No graphics or post production would be required. Just a real-artist's impressions and advice. It's interesting you added that question at the exact same place you were creating the branches on the center tree. The trick there is whenever you see a bump in the trunk or branch create another off-shooting branch. It's that easy with the rigger! PS: Warts and all. We all make mistakes during painting!
Yes, as you say - the rigger creates the bump - I see it and then add to it!
Don't change a thing! I look forward to watching you do you magic with watercolor, paper, and commentary.
Oh thank you!
Funny enough, I've been painting snowy scenes lately although I live in sunny South Africa. But my son lives in the Netherlands. Missing them I paint snow. Some more please? I'm so inspired now I'm going to sit down right away. Many thanks Paul!! 🎉😊
Great to hear Helen - have fun!
More snow scenes would be lovely. I would especially be interested in your method of painting conifers/pine type trees. Thank you ever so much!
Will do -thanks so much .... have you seen this video: ua-cam.com/video/DX37PitdLZU/v-deo.html
Yes! Definitely. For some reason I really struggle with pine trees.
No, I haven’t so thanks for that!
It is always great to wake up to one of your tutorials. Love your snow scenes. But sometime soon would you please paint a Christmas still with candles or baubles or holly or poinsettias or any combination. Please, please, pretty please.
Thanks ... I'll look into it .... but there are lots of baubles out there!
Good morning dear Paul☕🍩🥕🌽🍎🍇🍤🍴🍽️!!! I always look forward to watercolor Wednesday and today you are with us again and as always with a smile and joy to meet us.

Good early morning from Texas, USA!
I painted with oils for years and always struggled with painting rocks.
Morning from Texas too (just North of Dallas)
Morning to you in Texas! ..... probably afternoon now!
Hi Paul another great tutorial. Thank you. Yes please to more snow scenes.
Great - more to come!
This is much more than a wonderful watercolour Wednesday. It is a such a treat watching you paint and real time segments plus helpful hint. Thank you so much for taking out all the time to make the tutorials.
Thank you very much!
Brilliant tutorial as always. Thank you for those tips on sunlight through branches and dabbing out to make it all look real. Regarding the question about 'real time', I am happy with what you already publish. We as viewers can slow it down if needed. I have watched other real time videos but as you commented it gets boring and i tend to quit watching before the finish.
Great to hear - thanks for sharing!
Good morning Paul. Because UA-cam gives the viewer an option to slow down the videos using the speed button I think how you are doing the videos is perfect. When I was first learning I always slowed down your videos so I could see the brush strokes etc. Thank you for another great one. Not much snow here in Florida but I remember the one and only time it snowed in Miami in January of 1977. Lol. I’m old!
Thanks for the tip - not much snow here either!
I really get a great deal out of the real-time segments in your videos, because they give me an sense of reality and I don't feel like I should be able to paint 100 mph. It's easier to see exactly what you are doing then as well. Thank you for all you do!!!!
Glad you like them!
Oh to answer your question: the lenght of your tutorials is ideal in my opinion. I never watch something longer than 1 hour but probably 30 minutes videos are the best!
Good to know!
Joined from Orkney, loving your teaching, we call the northern lights the Merrie Dancers here - they constantly move and dance across the sky, thank you for your inspiration
Awesome! Thank you Barbara from Orkney!
I think your “speed” is perfect. When I need to watch something closely I can slow the playback speed. I was starting to find that some of the complete real time tutorials I’ve done in the past have been quite tedious and I found I was saying “just get on with it.” Lol. Keep up the great work.
I like the real-time part, but I am happy to have only a part of the videos in real-time. Thank you very much. I love your teaching !!!! :)
You're very welcome!
Thanks Paul. Having grown up in New England - I'm partial to snow scenes as well.
Good morning from Oklahoma ❤️ love this snowy scene ❤
Hi there from Oklahoma!
I enjoy short periods of real time when you’re doing something very intricate. It took me 3 1/2 hours to do this painting and it said it took you three . Two years ago, ago. It would’ve taken me two days and I wouldn’t have done nearly as well. I have learned a lot from you still have lots to learn. I’m not happy with how my rocks turned out but the top half of my painting. I’m very pleased with. Thanks again Paul can’t wait till Wednesday.
I loved the real time segment. I always rush when following a tutorial. as I always seem to try to match the speed I’m watching. It was refreshing to see how carefully and slowly you painted that tree.
Your videos are great and you always make me chuckle.
More snowy scenes please. I love them.
Love the video and think that your combination of real time and fast are just right. I've watched some artists who record in all real time and it makes me so tired that I think I need a nap. I am considering a trip next August to England and was pleasantly surprised that some of the photos they have posted are of some places that you and/or Margot have included in your posts. Hopefully, I can see some of England real time!
im a 69 year old new boy ive been wanting to have a go for many years.wish me luck.all the best.
Totally agree I could watch Paul for hours so wished I lived near so could attend classes and attend painting holidays etc
Great to hear - thanks!
WE painted this in Paul's class this morning and yes, it is middling tricky, but it looks very fine. Good session !
I am forever thankful for your free sketches for us to down load.So many to choose from l might never get around to all of them.Thankyou once again it makes your channel standout.
I always love watching you paint on Wednesdays...and I like the segments in real time. (I have occasionally slowed the speed too because I'm watching and trying to paint along.) Thank you for this lovely snow scene. Sandy, North Carolina USA
The “real time” portion was good! I like it when you can do those, but understand it would be time consuming to do an entire video this way. Thank you Paul!
Noted! - many thanks!
Yes please, more snow scenes!
Love your snow ❄️ scenes. I think there is the right amount of actual time footage. More talking from you would be appreciated.
Hi Paul! Rain Last week, snow this week, ice next week??!!
Thank you so much again for a tutorial that motivates and teaches so much ! 😊😊😊
Anne F.
.... now that's an idea Ann!
Several month without aquarelle... but always such a pleasure to be with you for a so nice moment!!! Thank you so much, you speak clearly but not all the time, and with an english perfect and calm, I understand almost all your remarks and I can follow your advices! A beautiful scene, thank you so much Paul! Scarlett from south of France
What I like about your videos, Paul, is that you always say how long they take to paint. "All done in about three hours" is a good indicator for me so I don't need to see it done in real time, even though I do like the bits in real time that you show. I have watched videos of artists painting in real time and, to be honest, I watch them at x2 speed and even then I'm fast-forwarding through bits of it. I find your videos are just the right length to sit and enjoy while having lunch and contemplating my next project. Every time I see you use the plastic card for rocks, it reminds me that I **still** have to have a play at painting snowy mountains!
Great comment - thanks for sharing!
This painting made me cry. But in a good way.🥲Thanks, Paul.🩵
I love the effect of the sun behind the trees. Just lovely. I also love the broken edges of the snow. I will have to try this.
Please do! ... and have fun!
The real-time sections are so useful for learning new techniques. Please include these for those of us learning new techniques such as using the rigger brush or lifting highlights.
Good afternoon from a chilly, dull Norwich. This is a beautiful snow scene and I’m always amazed at how you make parts of the painting to look sunny and bright using just a light wash and white paper. Fabulous!
Re’ real time videos. I like to see real time with things I find most difficult like trees, thin branches, distant wet on wet scenery and using a rigger. I cannot use a rigger properly because I’m so ham fisted and clumsy. 😮 So your real time parts showing these things are invaluable for me.
Lovely, jolly and informative video as usual. And thank goodness you didn’t do Christmas cards. I’m sick of em as well. 😊
Great to hear - thanks for sharing!
I’m grateful for all that you’ve provided already. I like it the way it is & besides I don’t want you to have to do more work, if it isn’t necessary. Thanks you Sir for your kindness!!!
Many thanks for your lesson!!!
My pleasure!
Bellissimo! It’s true that the re are many videos on UA-cam, but no one is a good teacher like you! Grazie
Wow, thank you!
Are you kidding, never bored watching you. Love the real time segments, and this scene. More please. 🎨👍🏻❌
So lovely! I really enjoyed watching you paint this. I have no problem with how you edit the videos. Do whatever is best for you. I think you strike a good balance and use real time when it’s needed. I will have to give this one a go. Maybe with some hot chocolate since Margot has kept us busy with tea all week. lol Thank you both so much ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
You are an awesome artist and teacher. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
Really enjoyed watching you paint this snow scene. It defiantly helped me understand how getting the sun in the background and sun reflection on the snow. Would love love to watch you paint others. Thank you.
Thank you! Will do!
I've been watching a lot of Alvaro Castagnet videos this week... such a different style. And yet I can see the similarities. It's not the colours that make the artist (he says so himself!) but the inspiration, what you want to express, a good brush that extends the hand, lots and lots of water and above all, a paper tissue. Ha ha ha
I'm not asking for anything other than what you decide to show us and explain. It's so varied, that's what inspires you, and it's already such a chance to benefit from your talent and explanations.
And if you decide to paint a Christmas scene, it will be yours, showing your style (different from any other … that is why I come back).
Thank you Mr Clark!
Thanks so much and yes, what an inspiration Alvaro is - one of my favs!
Привет,Пол! Твои уроки-это кладезь! За пол-часа видео я получаю такой поток информации! Здесь и способы подачи материала,свойства красок и бумаги,приёмы применения пластика,соли,плёнки,воды и т.д. Сколько полезных мини-советов! А в перерывах-новые напитки...И всё это с большим мастерством ,добром и юмором.Спасибо сердечное за практику!!!Будьте здоровы! С уважением-Михаил.
The way you done the sun was stunning I thought it was real I love watching you work keep making videos.can’t wait for the next one.
Rain sound effect... in winter? As a Canadian I say NO! 😂
As always, this is absolutly gorgeous. Thank you for all of the tips. I love all of your tutorial. Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher.
Thank you! 😊
Maybe you could do a tutorial about how to change the season of an existing tutorial. You could take one or two of your summer landscapes and turn it into a winter scene, explaining how one would go about it.
For example that English church you did a while ago would make a great winter scene.
Another joyful painting tutorial. Thank you Paul.
Glad you enjoyed it
Living in a part of Canada where we have snow for half the year, it seems, I enjoy the snow scene paintings! You showing us some “tricky bits” in real time is helpful! As others have mentioned, we can rewind and slow the speed of the video with you tube. I always look forward to watercolour Wednesdays- thanks for sharing so much talent with us!
Great to hear - thanks for sharing!
It seems to me that you give all the important information, either in the voice over or the subtexts, and we can always lower the speed if we need to. Thanks again. ☀️
I appreciate that!
You did a great job, Paul. I thoroughly enjoyed the video and the scene even though I hate snow (and, of all places, I live in Canada - talk about irony).
Lovely sun effect through the trees and those ripples at the end, perfect! Thankyou ❤ XXX
Thanks so much!
Never boring. More like mesmerizing. You are an absolute joy to watch and to listen to. Such a talent!
I love winter scenes and would appreciate more tutorials on them, especially since we rarely see snow here in southern Arizona. Tis the season, for more snow that is!
Been so busy I forgot it was Wednesday! What a pleasant surprise. Can’t wait to try this, I love snow scenes, especially those that include a stream or river. Thanks Paul 😊
Absolutely love this! As I live in Georgia, USA, we rarely see snow. I’m definitely going to try this one. Thank you for sharing.
Also, I enjoy the “real time”. When I first started watching your channel, I was trying to keep up with you. I thought you were the fastest painter on earth! Then I had a “ah-ha” moment when I realized you were speeding up the video. 😂
Wonderful! Thanks so much. I do like a bit of the real time footage, just to see the rhythm of your painting. Snow scenes are so comforting this time of year. Along about February comes the desire to start painting Spring things.
Agree! - thanks for sharing!
Я прихильниця вашої творчості. Із захопленням спостерігаю за Вашою роботою. Красиво, стильно ❤❤❤
Many thanks!
I keep coming back to your work because you are easy to follow and create such subtly beautiful scenes. I'm going to give this one a try. I've done a number of your works and will probably find myself doing them over as I learn more with each one. Thank you Paul.
I like your 30+ minute videos… My Favs in this pic… the large center tree in background… my eye draws to it.. the log added in … this was brilliant.. the subtle ripples in the stream added in the foreground… & the light thru the trees… just beautiful… makes me want to walk right into the picture & be warmed by the glow of the light. Gorgeous… ❤
Thanks so much - lovely comment!
You choose which part to play in real time. I believe you have made intelligent use of it. No point in having the same strokes shown in real time. And, yes, LET IT SNOW LET IT SNOW! More snow scenes please!
Thanks - more to come!
I am so thankful for the real time bits you include with your tutorials Paul. I sometimes get caught up in trying to keep up with you during the speedy bits and your real time sections bring me back to slowing down with the desired results!
Great to hear - thanks!
I'm nearly halfway done the tutorial. I'm not so great at this, but I find your method to be so relaxing. I'm quite enjoying this.
Wonderful! thanks!
You have a wonderful perspective of nature even though you are using a photo for reference. Your real time is great when you put it into tight and necessary areas.
Paul - Love the short bits of Real Time. Reminds me to slooooow down and exhibits just how deliberate and thoughtful your paint strokes can be. I vote to keep them in. Thanks!!!
Glad you enjoyed it Robin - and comments noted!
This is such a beautiful painting and........I just want to go and visit that place now!! :) Thank you for your wonderful teaching!
Thank you Paul for doing a wintery scene, I will certainly be having a go at this. And please yes, a couple more before Christmas.
Oh yes ! I LOVE real time section a lot ! I would like to have more of them in your videos. Really soothing to watch AND we learn it's ok to take the time to paint slowly, we see you don't rush anything. For beginners it's really helping. Thanks a lot Paul !
Thank you for this Paul. I’ve not felt like painting for a few months but I’m going to try this one. Really appreciate you sharing your expertise and time.
You are very welcome - have fun!
You asked about the real time. I don’t think everything should be in real time. However I was real excited you did the tree in real time because trees are sometimes hard to get them to look real. So maybe the hardest thing on the painting or something new that you’ve not done in a while would be good choices for the real time section. Today was my first time to watch you. You are a very good teacher. Thanks!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Lots of lovely techniques for me to practice. The stark trees and crisp snow always look great together. So, cheers Paul and yes, more wintery scenes please.
Glad you enjoyed it - more to come!
Snow scenes scare the h*** out of me. All that white paper 😂 but I loved this. I have to say, I do like your real-time segments, Paul, and would love to see a few more but I'm well aware how time consuming editing etc is, so thank you for all you do😊
Mr C, you are the true master of painting trees. Always so relaxing to watch you paint. Another awesome painting. The speeded up version is easy to follow. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure - thanks for the comment!
More snow scenes yes!! The longer the better❤
Thank you for the video! I think for a lot of absolute beginners full time videos could be easier (or just less scary), but I love the videos the way they are.
Good morning from New York City. Love the tutorials
Thanks so much from NYC!
I love the water color Wednesday! What your doing with your videos is perfect for me. One can always pause, or rewind so you can take your time painting. The tips you give are really good too. Thank you for your videos!❤
Hello, thanks Paul for all your wonderful videos. I love them all. The best ones (for me) are the small paintings like Skies, sunset and northern lights, 3 ways to paint a beach, how to paint rough ses and 5 techniques for painting grasses. Thank you and your team for all the good videos you make.
I love the snow scenes! This video does give many techniques. The card trick is always a challenge! I love the smaller segments of real time. Thank you again for another wonderful video!
My pleasure - thanks!
Brilliant as always. The real time video is my favorite part, I could definitely watch real time full length videos, you couldn’t bore me. So much information. Thank you so very much for sharing your expertise with us.
Thank you Paul…I am on holiday in Tenerife at the moment…so good to join you. The picture might be a gift for one of my sons for Christmas. You are so generous.
Not boring at all. Definitely I do prefer this type. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yaya it’s watercolor Wednesday ! My studio aka dining table is put away for Thanksgiving, so it pains me to have to wait a day or two to get started on this ! I love doing your snow scenes , in fact I’ve done 3 in the past week and I plan to do them all , so bring it on baby , let’s do this ! 😂 I laughed at the comment requesting a full un edited painting , although I do love watching you paint , please don’t change a thing , you’re doing it just right ! I slow the video down if in need to watch something a little closer !
We celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow and I just want to tell you and Margot I am especially thankful for the both of you , you’ve kept me going when times were tough and my spirits down ! I have to have my foot and ankle reconstructed in 3 weeks so about the only thing I have to look forward to for the next year is painting with you , so Thank you both !! 😊❤
Thanks so much Gretchen! - have a great Thanksgiving ... and good luck with your foot!
Having a couple (few) of "real time" segments is extremely helpful, & though I too, would enjoy watching you paint for hours ... & that's honest... in the course of "life," I might not choose to view a 3-hour video from the get-go. For me, your pacing is pretty perfect. Short enough to keep me both interested & encouraged; long enough to give me a good sense of the time investment. Your practice regarding timing/instruction is, in my who-am-I-to-have-an-opinion thinking, just right! 🙃
What a lovely scene . Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. 😊
Thanks so much 😊
Really beautiful! Can´t wait to try this painting, thanks Paul! ☺
Great to hear - many thanks!
Hi Paul,
I wanted to drop a quick note to say how much I enjoyed your winter watercolor class. The recent winter scene we painted was fantastic, and your skill as a painter is truly inspiring. Your humor adds a great touch to the lessons. Looking forward to more!
Thanks, Anton
Double wow 🤩 can’t wait to paint one quater like you. Thank you for this relaxing moment enjoying my coffee even more 🇨🇦
I loved watching this painting-am teaching snow tomorrow and this was a great refresher.
Oh wow, I haven't watched the tutorial yet, but I love love love this scene!!! Can't wait!!
Been watching your tutorials since the beginning Paul, your tutorials are the best. Have learnt a lot from you. Next time would you please teach how to paint a Christmas tree by the fireplace. Thank you very much 😊
