please do not change anything in your way to introduce your tutorials. It is so fresh and friendly. I like the way you welcome us in your artist’s world. This is your label. I look forward to your tutorials each week. Thank you for sharing your passion and time with us
Thank you so much! ... will do!
well said!
Please do not change anything! I love having that friendly introduction awaiting me on Wednesday morning!
Great to hear - many thanks!
Love this painting! I have the book - great artist! I agree, do not change your introduction! It’s your trademark! ❤
Thank you so much!
I never comment but my goodness, who would ever complain about someone being polite and saying good morning etc? Furthermore, that person is saying it before a free very instructive watercolor tutorial to help others become better painters. Jeez. Anyway, since I'm posting I'd just like to thank you Paul. I started doing watercolors during Covid when my three college/high school sons were home and my normally busy travel husband was here as well. I cannot draw and have never taken any art classes. I have tried throughout the years to paint or sketch to very comical results. I have painted about 20 of your paintings now and honestly, I am shocked. I cannot believe that I can paint and actually sometimes draw as well. They are never to your level and it will always be just
a stress relieving hobby for me, but when I show them to family and friends they are really blown away. My husband, who is not an artist but very good at drawing, is impressed with them as well. Your videos are so clear and so informative and your personality and creative editing etc....even down to your pre made teeshirts. I look forward to watching every week. This is a long overdue, now rambling post but you are so amazing and I am very grateful that you take time to do this and allow others to experience something of the joy of creating. Thank you, thank you!
Lovely comment .... thanks so much and delighted to help in your watercolour journey!
Please keep your intro, it is your trademark! Always brightens the day. Thanks for the real time in video it is a useful tool and for inspiration series opens up to artists may not have heard of before.
Thanks again for your work you do even behind the scenes to produce these videos.
Great to hear... thanks Steve
Good morning, afternoon or evening, whatever time it is over there Paul! I look forward to Wednesday mornings and your cheerful greeting.
Your intro is just fine the way it is. I like these elements: 1) Speeded up w/ voiceover 2) A bit of real time 3) Captions with colors used 4) Telling us how long the painting took overall 5) The music you select. Thank you for introducing us to a master.
Great to hear, many thanks!
You might be getting tired of your intro... Sorry. We love it! Thank you for your dedication and discipline to keep up with this work week after week. As a writer (which means I keep in touch with fans via a newsletter), I know it takes a great deal to maintain your commitment month after month, year after year. There are SO many of us who are blessed by the fact that you have done and continue to do that! Wishing you joy and continued success.
Good to hear and many thanks for the info!
Keep the intro, Paul, it makes us feel like we really are part of your class!
Please keep your introduction... it wouldn't be the same without it❤
Nice to know - thanks!
Hi Paul, I’m very new to watercolours and to painting, started in December’23, and I am so glad I found you and your channel. You are undoubtedly a fabulous artist, but you are so much more - a fantastic teacher, a friendly voice and a generous human being. I love your style of teaching and painting, your sense of humour and truly appreciate the hard work you put into each CZcams tutorial. I’ve just ordered your book and look forward to learning more from you, each week. Take care and stay the same. Cheers.
Thanks so much and hope you enjoy my book too!
This is my favourite tutorial channel, I've learned so much and been positively inspired by your work. Just today started a class with an artist up here in Orkney and hoping to improve with some direct supervision. Planning to come to one of your events soon. Please stay as you are....we all love your cheerful intro and your humorous asides. God bless you for your generosity 😊
Great to hear! - thanks so much and good luck with your classes!
I like your intro. It’s like meeting a friend; comforting and inviting. Really enjoy the inspiration series.
Thank you so much!
Great painting. I look forward to your tutorials each week (and your intro). Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Have learned much watching your videos.
Thank you! You too!
Agree with Christine I think your intro prepares me mentally to paint! I am a master teacher and these are the same types signals that teachers know prepare student minds to work or learn. The mental cues tell the brain, OK this is what we are doing now. On the other hand, if you are bored with the intro. and ready for a change by all means trust your creative brain to find another delightful one. Can't wait and of course we will all adjust!😄Tutorial is really good, learning the techniques offered, can't wait to try it
Lovely to hear, especially from a teacher ... many thanks!
Your introduction is what makes you so very special, so I wouldn't change a single thing ! My husband always calls out "Hi Paul" from the other room when he hears your introduction. Thank you so much for your amazing talent but most of all your generous personality along of course with your humour ! Your painting this week is brilliant and I may just have to give it a try later today :)
I can hear the rushing water. Love the various colors in the water not the usual blue grey mix. Thanks Paul another winner. Sherry
Glad you enjoyed it Sherry
Hello, I'm French and I immediately liked your channel. At first, I didn't speak much English, but since I discovered the French subtitles, I've watched all your tutorials. I'm learning a lot and I thank you for that. You make me want to go to England, I discover it through your paintings. Keep your good mood and your little breaks. You have talent and pedagogy. Thanks again
Wow, thank you! and merci!!!
I love the way you do introductions. I love how you take a break and have something to drink. Just so friendly, gracious and informative. Please don't change anything!
Good to hear - many thanks!
"Never put pressure on yourself to make it a masterpiece." LOL... No danger of that here. I have enjoyed each and every episode I have watched of yours. Some multiple times. Keep up the wonderful work and thank you for keeping it light and straight forward. ...just the right way for me, and I suspect others, to adsorb it. Thanks again!
Great to hear, many thanks!
Okay Paul, I can see from your comments that you’ve gotten the message. Do not change your introduction!! It’s perfect exactly the way it is and we love it!!! It’s exactly one of the things I love about watching your channel, so get any thoughts of changing it out of your head! But thanks for asking😅
Wonderful video and painting. I enjoyed your intro about the artist, whose name I already forgot…. Enjoyed the flip through the book and hearing your thoughts about him. Your finishing touch on the painting the next day really made a difference, it was the finishing touch and looked like water spray! Brilliant! 👍🏻😊
Thanks Kathy….. definitely got the message 🤣
I look forward to that introduction each week ❤
Yay! Thank you!
Always good to see watercolours painted by earlier watercolourists…you painted this so well…we can always learn something
Thank you very much!
Your intro is just fine, no change necessary! I really do like it when you paint in real time though! I love all your paintings!
Do not change a thing! Your Intro is so you!
I enjoy your work and your interpretation of other Artists that you are inspired by.
If it's not broken don't fix it, it's great the way that it is !!!
The Introduction is great, especially with the assisted help with presentation from Margo, I think that I have her name correct.
I appreciate that! thanks and yes correct ... except with a 't' Margot.
Thank you for all the helpful hints and techniques. Love the lifting with paper towel to soften edges and the scraping for water spray.
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful rendition of a great painting!
I vote keep your intro! I do look forward to hearing it every Watercolor Wednesday!
Thank you so much!
Don't change anything! Your videos are so inspirational. Thanks!
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you for your art, instruction, and inspiration to us all! And pleeeease... don't change your intro! I am always excited to hear it!❤❤
Ok, will do - thanks!
I love your videos! the real time bits really help put things in a good time perspective, so I don't feel like I'm a painting snail. 🙂 You are so wonderfully human and make me feel like you really care about the things we are learning from you! Have a wonderful day!!!
Awesome! Thank you so much!
You must not change anything Paul, we, your fans, like you (and your paintings) just the way you are!
Lovely to hear - thanks!
Paul, your intro is part of your Brand, it's synonymous with your amazing approach to teaching art, your convivial, great natured and generous Personality
Why spoil a perfect recipe ❤ 😂
Great to hear - thanks!
We love your intro almost as much as we love watching you paint! Please don’t change a thing!
Great to hear, many thanks!
Please keep your introduction and tutorials. Every Thursday morning I love to watch your up-load and get encouraged to paint.. ( Due to 9 hours time difference between UK and Korea, I watch it Thursday). Thank you once again.
Great to hear - thanks! ... and all the way from Korea too!!!
I love hearing “you lovely lot “ when you greet us! Please don’t change…it’s YOU!😊
Great to hear, many thanks!
Gorgeous painting , I love your introduction and your style of painting 💕🦋
Thank you! Cheers!
Wednesday is always a good day for me thanks to your tutorials , I have followed many of your tutorials, u just have a way have making amateurs like myself feel comfortable with having a go at water colours , thank you.
Happy to hear that! thanks
No, you must keep your jolly and cheerful introduction. It’s your ‘signature’ and we all love it. And this painting is beautiful. I think it could be somewhere in my native Yorkshire, or the Peak District. But no matter where it is, it looks to be a lovely place. Thanks, Paul, for another great tutorial. 😃👍
Thank you so much 😀 - I've done a little further investigation and it appears to be in Cumbria!
LOVE your introduction and I would be sad not to hear it!! LOVE your tutorials and have been doing them for months! You are a fantastic teacher! Thank you!!
Thank you so much! very kind!
Love your intro. It's your signature! There hasn't been anyone who has kept my interest as long as you have. I've learned and enjoyed so much. Many thanks.
Awesome! Thank you!
I agree with the others, don't change anything in your intros, they are all 'you' and that welcomes us in. I'm also always curious to see the usually matching t-shirt to go with the day's subject! 😄 That's always a fun little touch.
Good to hear - many thanks!
I've been told so many times that "the more distant the view, the more pale the paint". You've just knocked that on the head and really sucked me into the painting. Love it 👌
Grad you enjoyed it - thanks!
Please, don’t change your intro, it’s perfect. I love your music, your art is amazing to watch.
Thank you so much!
Please don't change your introduction. It's so unique and has become so you. It makes me smile wide. 😊
Good to hear - many thanks!
Keep everything just the way it is Paul don't change anything you have a unique style which we all appreciate i look forward to Wednesday every week
Your intro is your trademark so leave well enough alone! This was a great tutorial and it's always helpful to be exposed to previous watercolour artists and to learn from them:) Many thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you for such lovely painting . Very inspiring. And I love your welcome introduction it makes me happy and puts a smile on my face.
Thank you so much 😀
No change or your introduction, please! Love this painting, it looks so fresh and the colors so transparent! ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
I agree, keep your introduction! It's part of what prepares me for your tutorial! Love this one Paul. The trees on the right are amazing. It's a joy to watch your brush dance across the paper. You still inspire me to keep trying new ideas. Thanks so much 😊
Delighted to help - thanks!
Thank you! This will be a good one for me to try. Still struggle often with being too exacting... ruins the whole thing! I think my personality keeps getting in the way! Lol!
That was a fantastic lesson. I can't tell you how much joy your lessons bring me, and I'm sure everyone else who follows you. And now I'm off to give it a go, as you say.
Wow, thank you! ... and have fun!
Nooo, keep your introduction, so charming and full of joy and energy. Thank you for another wonderfull video .
It’s Best day of the week and I wouldn’t change a thing about it , even your t-shirts are great ! Thank you for another stunning painting to add to the inspiration series!
I love James Fletcher Watson’s work, I have his book The Magic of Watercolour that I pull out for reference all the time !
It’s been a struggle to keep up on one foot but I’m hanging with the group and last weeks tutorial turned out beautifully, thank you again ! Many Blessings to you and Margot!
Thank you too Gretchen!
1st, don't change a thing unless you are feeling like experimenting! I'll take it however it comes!!
Also, 1st, Happy New Year, and thank you for continuing to give so much time to us(me). I know you put so much into these videos, and it's appreciated. With all the stress and negatives in the world, you provide such a positive and inspirational space.
I always enjoy learning about what artists inspire you. There are so many late great artists we don't know about.
Sorry about the novel here, and again, thank you for sharing your talents and time. It is such a kind gift.
Lovely comment - thanks Mary!
We love your introduction, wherever we are!!! Thanks Paul for your tutorials!!!
Glad you like them! Cheers
I love the introduction of your tutorials, always makes me smile. Please don't change anything. Your tutorials are great the way they are. Another fabulous painting. Thanks Paul.
Hello Paul. I really enjoy your introduction to your painting sessions. I love how you made this painting come alive with simple brush strokes. Can't wait until next week. Take care and see you soon 🤗
Thank you! Cheers!
I so look forward to these videos! Thank you for your dose of optimism! Not only do I learn a lot from every one, but they always make me feel better. 💚
You are so welcome! - lovely to hear!
I love hearing your intro... it gets me ready to learn new painting skills. I'm glad to be part of the "lovely lot"!
I look forward to the tutorials every Wednesday. I have been painting for the last 2 years and have learnt so much watching your lessons. It's given my free time so much purpose and discipline. I love your style of presentation and your humour and would hate to see you change that. Thank you for the invaluable lessons and this introduction to art.
Great to hear - thanks!
We love your introduction. And don't worry too much about the provenance of the book: libraries often get rid of their old books, sometimes by reselling them. Another wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much!
Good to know! - many thanks!
Keep your intro! Your inspiration tutorials help us to know different artists. We learn a lot!!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us every wednesday 🙂 I learn a lot from your tutorials ( and meanwhile I also learn English😂😂😂)
Thank you! Will do!
I think your intro is so welcoming and friendly, please don't change it. I enjoy every part of your videos and look forward to every Wednesday to see "what you have for us today". Thanks so much! Sandy
Thank you so much Sandy
That scraping at the end made a big difference! We got nine inches of snow yesterday in Iowa, U.S. so I think I'll stay inside and paint!
Wow - sounds a good move ... keep warm - we had about 134 snow flakes today ... but still very cold!
Yes, please keep the introduction! And I love the breaks where you are sipping beer or whatever, always makes me laugh!
Good to know! - thanks!
NOOOOOOO Keep your introduction
Ok, will do - thanks!!!
Best intro ever!!
Please don’t change your creative introductions. Each video makes me smile! Thanks, Paul and Margo!
Glad you like them! - thanks!
PLEASE KEEP your introduction!! We LOVE IT! Your upbeat, funny personality is absolutley delightful!
Thanks and will do 😁
I like your introduction. It's so you and so familiar it doesn't seem right without it!
Glad you think so!
Your intro is fine. Your generosity is above and beyond. I am so grateful for your time. You do this any way you want. I've begun to feel like your an extension of my family. Any way you want to do it is fine by me.
Please dont change your introduction ..love the painting and i really wanted to see the painting of rocks . Thank you sooo much . Oh and I love your theme tshirts 😊
Great to hear - many thanks!
Hi Paul, thank you for your many videos, they are an important part of my life. I rarely write comments, but so you know how important your videos are, here's my story: My oldest grandson (currently 11 years old) lives far away from me in a Nordic country. Unfortunately I don't have enough vacation, so I can only visit him every 2-3 months. But when i visit him , he usually comes after I arrive and speaks your words (in English) "of we go, lets us paint step by step together", Grandma. He chooses a tutorial and we have a wonderful, most intense time together for the next two hours, one of the best times of my life. The result are unique watercolors, a thousand times better than a photo from the visit. Thank you for making this possible with your videos.
You did a stunning job on this painting! If it was in my house, it would have a place of honour. If you wanted to change your intro, I'm sure we'd all adjust.{ Personally... I like it just the way it is} . I love everything about this channel, your cozy studio, the music chosen to match every painting, your teaching style, the help and occasional visit of your lovely wife. and last but not least...Your great sense of humour! Thank you for everything!
Oh thank you! - much appreciated
Love the intros!!!!!! Please keep them Paul. Cheers.
So glad you put in the detail of how much the footage is speeded up (4x) after your real-time section. Whenever I have tried to follow your tutorials, I usually end up painting at the speeded up level. Now I know what the real speed should be, I can turn off the sound and turn on the subtitles. Thanks again.
Love your intro and your sense of humor. Thank you for the real time footage. I enjoy your channel so much.
Good to hear - many thanks!
Really interesting! I knew some watercolor artists scrape off paper to restore sparkle, but haven't actually seen it done, so that was a learning opportunity for me. Thanks so much.
I love it the book travelled all the way from my hometown!
What a pleasure. Please keep your intro. It is a trademark of yours! The joy starts when one sees it.
Great to hear ... many thanks!
Thank you very for another inspirational tutorial ❤ and thank you for introducing him. If possible please do another one. Also please keep the intro it’s one of your identity and it’s always bring happiness to me🥰
Noted! ... many thanks!
You are by far the best I have watched, and the way you narrate your videos is just perfect, I have watched a lot of other artists videos and to me personally no one comes close to what you do or teach. Thank you so very much.
Wow, thank you! - good of you to say!
I love your whole style; your presentation, your techniques, your teaching, explanations with your friendly voice. And I am so lucky to find your channel. So I agree with the majority and please don’t change your introduction ☺️🙏🏻
I love your introduction! And thank you for the amazing and inspiring tutorials!!!!💕
Thank you so much!!
bonjour Paul, ne changez rien, vous êtes tellement généreux avec tous vos tutos gratuits , avec vos conseils si précieux pour moi. J'apprends beaucoup merci merci merci beaucoup. 🤩😊🙏
Merci beaucoup Florence. 🤩
I hope you don't change anything, you're a breath of fresh air
Your introduction is warm and welcoming. But if you are feeling it needs change...go ahead. It has to be fun for you too! I like this inspiration series, thabks so much. I had not heard aboutbthis artist. Always a good reminder to sleep on it and come back the next day. I appreciate your tip about "letting your brain fill the gaps". I will paint with this in mind next time. Thanks, Paul!
Thank you, I will
Good evening. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial with the history of the artist and also for this beautiful painting. The colors are authentic looking in this perfect scene.
We love everything about your tutorials
Great to hear ... many thanks!
Paul - love your intros - don't change. Your sense of humor and wit makes watching these videos enjoyable as well as educational. I do appreciate your passion and effort to keeping this up and hope someday to fly across the pond to attend one of your workshops!
Glad you like them! Thanks 😊
Thank you for sharing inspiration, James Fletcher- Watson 🎨
Glad you enjoyed it
Please keep your friendly warm introduction as it’s quite cozy and makes one feel they are in the room with you. Lovely tutorial. Thank you for sharing your time and techniques. Cheers!
Thank you! Will do!
Brilliant! Now let's give it a go!
Thank you so much for posting this tutorial. It’s a beautiful painting and I’ve wanted to try painting a waterfall for so long and now I’m inspired to give it a go. ❤ don’t change your intro and there’s no way I’m having a dry January lol
My pleasure 😊 .. yes, it's challenging!
My watercolor journey is about the joy I felt when I first put watercolor to paper!!! It's been a great time learning from you on Watercolor Wednesdays!!! So many comments about keeping your intro the same... Agree!!! Thank you always, from a grateful California Gramma ❤
I just love this... the bridge, rocks, and water!!! Beautiful!
You are so welcome Ann, big thanks for your support 😁👍
Beautiful painting, I'm looking forward to try it. And please don't change your intro, it's so cheerful, I love it😀

Thanks! Will do!
I like the way you introduce your tutorials, and I look forward to it. Thanks
Awesome, thank you!
The color palette on this painting is so fresh and pretty,and the end result feels so delicate. I can’t wait to try it. As for your intro, I love being one of the “lovely lot” you share your tutorials with. Don’t need to change a thing!
I have only recently found your tutorials and I am learning from them and gaining more confidence. You have a gift for teaching (and painting, of course). Thank you.
Great to hear! - many thanks!
I didn't see anything this morning! Says this went up 14 hours ago. I just thought you took a well-deserved week off! Thanks so much for this, Paul!
No problem J - thanks as ever!
Keep your intro it’s so cheery and makes my day EVERYTIME I watch
Good to hear - many thanks!
