I am a complete beginner who, because I am no artist, can make repeated attempts to produce a decent little painting with no pressure and no expectation. Your tutorials are a delight to watch; perhaps I'll be abler to do some of what you are doing one day, but just watching and listening to you while you work is so peaceful. Despite not having real talent to speak of, just the attempt has been great for me. Your tutorials are at once peaceful, informative and encouraging. Thank you so much for this little island of calm and sanity amidst so much discord... Kindest regards....robert
Great to hear Robert and delighted to help!
Robert, you are an artist in the making! Not fluffing your feathers, it’s truth.
Art isn’t about talent, it’s about skills learned, time invested to hone those skills (practice) & persistence to keep going. All artists go through growing pains of frustration & self doubt. Push through that, quiet the negative chatter & you will begin to see improvements, learning from trial and error, gaining confidence with each piece. How many tries does it take to learn to ride a bike well? Same principle applies to art & any new endeavor.
Hang in there & hush that naysayer in your head. Hope this encourages you!
Yes! Island of calm and sanity - and lighthearted happiness. So grateful for that too!
Wow! My sane feelings!!!!
Thank you for writing the thoughts running through my mind. When I start, dare I say, a painting, it is always with a hope and a prayer. I hear that through the process, there’s a period of uncertainty, boy do I feel uncertain but I also refuse to give up because it’s not my style. I will continue to work at getting better, some day I might even call myself an artist.♥️
Paul, thank you so much for your lessons! You cannot imagine how useful and inspiring they are! And it doesn't matter that we live in different countries, I consider you my teacher in watercolour.
Paul you are a fantastic teacher! Thank you ! You simplify the paintings so we can adapt it when we do our own paintings
My pleasure! - thanks for your lovely comment!
Me too!
Fully agree. Thanks so much, Paul. Just starting to learn and love this tutorial.
I enjoy these sketch tutorials more than the full projects, equipping us with the tools and skills to tackle bigger projects.
Good to hear Carl!
Since I found your channel I have discovered a new world and I am fascinated with watercolours.
Thank you very much for sharing all your knowledge. You are very very generous. I have no words to thank you for everything you teach and encourage us. You are a true teacher, who transmits his knowledge, with good humor, and who knows how to bring out the best in a person.
Your book is very good, but your step-by-step videos are amazing. Happy to have discovered your channel and although I still don't know how to paint, I really enjoy a lot what I'm going to do thanks to you.
Greetings from Pamplona.
Hi there - what a lovely comment many thanks and happy to help!
You have magical teaching skills! My Wednesdays are now a day for anticipation, excitement, laughter, learning, and wonder. All thanks to you Paul!
Wow, thank you Deborah!!
This is what I love about watercolor: at first the paint are just blobs on a paper and then they magically transform into an image.... You are awesome Paul!
Me too - it's always exciting!
I had no idea that I was going to watch 3 of your tutorials on waves, water & reflections this morning, but I'm glad I did - excellent tips and ideas for beginners and improvers. It's lovely to see your mixing palette so that I can see the water/pigment ratio which is always something that I could improve on. Brilliant tutorial - thanks Paul x
Amazing amazing! I wish you had a book on just these water techniques in a step by step so we could keep it by our easel! Also, please help with a fog video, fog horizons, fog skies, fog distant headlands…..help me pleeze💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🙏
Many thanks - have you seen this video: ua-cam.com/video/-MtVBxqOqH0/v-deo.html
Your boat on the sea was so realistic I had to stop the video and take sea sick meds!
lol! - good of you to say!!!

You are so very talented and personable. I think you should have your own television show. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Paul, another great tutorial. I found the rough sea particularly interesting and effective, and the wave was amazing to watch as it took shape. Plenty to keep us going until next week !
Very welcome
Paul, I notice you use water differently in some cases. Often the paper is dry and you apply wet paint to it. Others you prewet the paper. Why is this? When do you use each?
Paul you are like wizard xxxx thank you for sharing your amazing talent xxx
My Pleasure Danka!
Haven’t used my mop yet, but I had told my husband I had ordered one. Here’s how the conversation went: He said: “You ordered a mop?! Great - now maybe you can wash the floor!. You know, they say housework won’t kill you!”. She said, “But why take the chance!”! 🤣😂😆🤣😂
Lol! - love that! - cheers Marlene 🤣😂
I’ve watched numerous videos and went straight out and bought a watercolour set and have been flying through my pad trying everything. I’ve always been afraid of trying this but I tell your lessons are so valuable I’m accomplishing alt thanks a million
Wow, loved this video, thank you. Im wondering how I mix my own turquoise, if I don´t have phtalo green? I have the right turquoise color in a tube (cobalt turquoise light from w&n) , it´s just that I know noticed that I dont like it so much because it is not transparent. I can only find turquoise mixing with oils, where they mix in white with an unnamed yellow and unnamed blue.
You exactly understand the problems beginners face, Great help, Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! ... thanks!
I've been painting for a month now, and your tutorial are perfect. However, on no5, I attempted the full photo🌄 instead of just the🌊 wave, and failed miserably 😂😂
Simple yet beautiful and perfect. I always love your fresh joke. Paul, you are a genious.
Thank you kindly
this helped a lot :) not too sure about the knife thing cause i feel like i would accidentally stab a hole in my art/hand but it’s pretty cool
Thank you Paul,and love the sound effects!😁❤
Me too! Some of my favorite parts! Perfectly placed, wonderful job Paul!
Glad you like them!
Really great exercise, teacher, a big thank you Mr Clark ...or superman but shhhh :)
Wait,wait, wait. And there’s the magic. Thank you so much.
I consider myself a complete beginner but I love to paint honestly do not know much technique but would love to learn somehow with trial and error I try to paint..
Lovely paintings. I love water, sea, river, lake, stream etc and I really want to paint it properly. So this tutorial was just what I needed. And I love the little touches of humour. ‘Orange uniforms……no, not Guantanamo Bay’. Lol. 😂
Thank you so much 😀
Simply stunning. You’re so very talented. Wow! You really showcase the beauty of water. Plus I like your music choices too 😊. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Beautiful Paul! #4 is my favorite. I’m in love with Prussian Blue. Blessings to you!
Thank you! You too!
Thank you so much for marvelous tutorials.
Paul: "...a simple little scene."
Me: *Cries in ultramarine*
I guess practice makes perfect (I know what I'll be doing this weekend)!
Wonderful, diverse examples. Thanks again, Paul!
many thanks!
Thanks for such wonderful tutorial.. I wanted to paint water but not sure now would definitely try this.. thanks a lot
It's the most crucial and hard part of any painting where we have to paint water,thanks for making this video for us
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful, enjoyed. Look forward to next lesson.Karen, USA, NC
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this tutorial, Paul! I've never seen/had one, but I watched an artist use one the other day and was fascinated. Looks fantastic for florals and landscapes. So happy to have found you on UA-cam! I enjoy not only your painting, but the calm atmosphere you create while doing so.
Glad it was helpful! ... thanks so much!
I just want to say thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful with painting but also completely relaxed me when I really needed it. Cheers and I’m looking forward to learning and watching more of your videos.
You are so welcome!
Margo was right! after 24 hours of anticipation I am not disappointed, exactly what I needed. Also do you buy a new shirt for every video, or do you have a special room for "video dressing room" I love the water drop. Its so soothing. And as always a perfect tutorial with lots of smiles.
Thanks Misty - some of the shirts I make up myself - some I get on Amazon about 2 days before!!!!
Wow !! So glad I found this video on UA-cam!!
You are a great artist 🎨
Thanks so much you have been a wonderful and giving teacher God bless you
Thank you! You too!
Wow! Tissue and a magic scalpel to bring those waves to life! Love it!
Glad you like it!
Just stumbled on one of your videos and now I'm hooked. You teach so well and it doesn't put me to sleep 😄😄. Looking forward to watching the rest.
Awesome! Thank you and welcome Reen!!
What a great way to start my Wednesday! Thank you, sir...Cheers!
My pleasure!
Literally had to comment lol it’s currently 5:18am on a Wednesday
What a great way to start my Wednesday indeed.
Thank you for the wonderful, and easy to follow instruction. Much appreciated!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You’re really amazing! It looks so easy to do, but I struggle all the time. I will try and try until I get the same results as you. Thank you very much for teaching us! 🙏🏼😁
You can do it!
Paty, I feel the same way! I will keep trying. I like Paul's style!
@@melindaavila498 WE must keep practicing. It's the only way 😊👍
Brill, thanks for 5 water watercolour paintings! Happy days. Your paintbrush contains magic qualities. Please would you consider painting some colourful beach huts, in easy 2d. Loved your previous beach huts painting. Thanks again.
Yes, absolutely
Fantastic. Had to watch several times. You pack a lot of technique into such a short video., Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
So helpful! Im having a wonderful time learning everything from you!! Looking forward to next week!😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Another Awesome demo Paul. I’m going thru all your videos.I just ordered your book from a local store too. I look forward to trying out your techniques. I’m glad I found you as a teacher with your easy teaching style. Thanks again. Rich B. In California USA.
Thanks so much Rich and hope you enjoy my book too!
Merci beaucoup Paul de partager si généreusement vos vidéos et votre verre de bière. Je ne comprends plus l'anglais mais la danse de vos pinceaux et les couleurs utilisées me permettent de progresser.
Hi Paul, I have started to explore water colour after a diagnosis of metastatic oesopageal cancer. I have always appreciated art but your generosity in sharing the joy of water colour has been inspirational. Thank you.. I number my water colours in an attempt to reduce my judgement of good or bad. for me it the challenge and relaxation combined with the ability to allow the water to work. Im not painting its water colour and has a life of its own. Im finding values and perspective very challenging so thank you for you attention to detail. Frank
Happy to help in anyway!
I live by the sea and would love to paint it’s different moods so thank you for showing me how. I’m excited to have a go.
I am amazed how quickly your watercolors take shape and the picture emerges. I have put my craft supplies aside for a while and am ready and anxious to restart . Thank you ever so much it is important to me to keep busy with my disabilities/immobility there are still many things I can do and I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon your youtube videos.
Great & Amazing techniques of water color tutorial... Thanks 🙏🙏
Thanks - Glad you enjoyed it!
My seascapes are dedicated to you... tutorials really helped me a lot
I’ve really enjoyed watching you paint, thank you !
Thanks so much 😊
I am pleased to be able to introduce the brush set. Only 7 days to Germany. 😁Tip 4 and 5 are now my focus. I often still have problems with moisture. Either the colors melt or I accidentally wash the color off again. It is still difficult. A beer is more likely to help. Water is for the fish.😜
Oh, das ist ja toll! Super, dass du es schon bekommen hast. Meins wurde am 6.3. versendet und kam bis jetzt nicht an. Ich hoffe noch! 😔
Wonderful! ... I agree with that Doreen!
Really enjoyed the sea tutorials and I can’t Waite to have a go at painting them, always love and look forward sessions . Paul have u ever thought of doing a work book with projects and techniques for us to wok along with u . I have bought ur book but would like a little mote please . At the present time I can’t attend ur work shops as I said I really enjoy and look forward to ur sessions Take care Annmarie
Thanks so much 😊
Thanks Paul. Those are lovely!!!
Большое спасибо. Очень понятно все объяснено. И все так играючи, что хочется скорее броситься повторять. Понятно, что это кажущаяся легкость, которая присуща мастерам. Ваши уроки заряжают энергией творчества. Вы - фокусник, раскрывающий секреты .
Fantastic!
Thank you very much
Your class is such a help. Fear of “unknown” can stall my creativity. I do t see the link to get full video in right upper corner?
Delighted to help!
Thank you much! Fantastic demonstration. I am wondering what colors were used for painting the bridge.
Thank you! Cheers! ... I think it was a mix of Yellow Ochre and Burnt Umber.
great tutorial, I like your explanations and commentary/sound effects! :D
Glad you like them!
Just found your channel and subscribed. Thank you for sharing these amazing techniques. Love your sense of humour too!
Great to hear many thanks
Thank you so much for putting out such an informative video full of useful skills and tips! I'm struggling with how to make my wave paintings more lively and this is absolutely helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Doesn’t the razor blade scratch and ruin the paper? It gives a nice effect, but wouldn’t it damage the paper less if you used white ink with a dry brush or gouache instead?
No, just lightly scratch the top layer of paint - white ink or gouache doesn't have the same whiteness as the paper.
The painting of the little bridge is magnificent! Congratulations
Thank you! Cheers!
I just can enjoy as we Myanmar has difficult situation because of the military junta. Thank you so much. I like your tutorial very much.
My pleasure and hope things get better for you soon!
Enjoyed the brief demonstration about painting water

After many years of not painting I recently took out a little 12 colour watercolour set my husband bought me years ago.

Thank you for this excellent tutorial!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this refresher on water techniques! Thank you Paul!
Hi, Paul. I somehow missed this marvelous water tutorial earlier this winter, when I was struggling mightily with the advice and examples of other watercolor artists. Now, here you are, offering us simpler, straightforward, and proven techniques to create different "looks" in water, including ROUGH water, which other artists usually avoid or fail at. Thank you so much, Chris (Maine, USA)
Glad it was helpful!
While you’re painting, it’s seems so simple. Thank you, i will try it all.
Have fun!
Those 5 were magical jewels. I'm enjoying finding your past tutorials ...are you currently making new ones? Thank you again so much for posting such useful and delightful bits!
Thanks so much and yes new one every Wednesday 👍
@@ArtbyPaulClark Awesome I'll be looking for you!
I really enjoy painting with Paul Clarke. Thank you for your videos.
You are very welcome
Which type of paper should I use and what to do before starting painting kindly guide me
This is really going to help me. I have been struggling with water! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
thank you so much you made me improve ALOT !!!!!!
thank you so much, this is amazingly helpful 💙
You're so welcome!
Two years later and you are still helping us _immensely_. Thank you very much for this. I studied art at an atelier one semester and the watercolor teacher was... hard to learn from. I am just now beginning to re-engage with watercolor and the comments are right, your pedagogy is so good. Thank you thank you thank you. :)
Glad I could help!
Paul, I don't know if you've ever been asked this question. When you are doing these tutorials are you looking at a photo of what you're painting or have you just done these so many times that it's not necessary? And as a follow-up. How many years did it take you before you became adept at painting from your imagination? Thank you.
Both - sometimes from my imagination and sometimes from photos - I guess I've always done it!
@@ArtbyPaulClark Thank you so much for the quick replay.
I love your lessons! And I also like your coordinated shirts!
Yay! Thank you!
