Thanks for watching! - Jak na to + styl
Honestly Paul, I have learned more in the almost 2 weeks I have been subscribed to your channel, than most other artists put together in over a year, you somehow make things simple, and easy to understand with all your processes regarding watercolor techniques, thanks again, and can’t wait to see what your next videos bring 😎👍🎨
Thanks again Bonnie - it's always great to know that the effort has been worth it. Stay in touch! 😎👍🎨
You can tell Paul is a natural teacher. I’m learning so much from these videos, and even when not actively listening, I just enjoy hearing these on in the background for ambience. What a great teacher!
Wow, thanks!
He has a great voice. Be good for one of those audio books. Thanks, learning lots.
Thank you, Paul. Your lessons are the best! Whatch from Ukraine
Glad you like them! - stay safe we are all thinking of you!
You are the sweetest artist I know. I have painted for one year and then I stopped for two years because I was sick but now, I have started again and I can’t get tire of watching your videos but most of all, you are very generous of your talent and not scared of sharing it with us. I like the human being that you are. Sincerely 😊🙏
Awww- that's so nice of you to say - many thanks Isabelle!
Thanks much Mr. Clark. I'm binge watching you this week!... as I await supplies on a slow boat from the UK.
In this one I particularly liked the idea of separately timed lifts to give gradient highlights.
Once more, thank a lot for the simplicity of your explanation. Now, we just have to ... try. If your main skill is watercolour painting, the second one is your way of teaching.
My pleasure 😊
Thank you, Paul, for your wonderful watercolor videos. Your inspiration and good humor are a perfect mix!
Glad you like them! - and a big thanks, very kind you!
You make it all look so easy and I want to paint like that too. Thanks for these great tutorials!
Thanks for watching!

I'm so happy to have found you!! Thank you for all your tips. You are fantastic!!🥰
Thank you so much!
I recognized your still life fruit painting because I have your (excellent) book! I didn't know you were the author. I've learned many good things from you, Mr. Clark!
I’m so grateful for your sharing spirit. Thanks for giving your years-of-experience tips to fairly new painters, such as me. Could you do a tutorial on paintings with glass objects such as vases or bottles or whatever. I’ve always been fascinated with light through glass. Thank you.
You are so welcome Lynn and many thanks - Glass bottles are on the list!!!!
Thank you Paul for the tips on highlighting trees, I'm going to give it a go!

Your five minutes worth a lot for me...Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Woooow ! Amazing Mr. Clark !!
Thank you! 😃
I need to use lifting out more often; I rarely remember it when I'm painting. Thanks for these tips 😊
Glad it was helpful Nerly! - I think we all suffer from that - forgetting to use the tips we've learnt!😊
I love to see your videos it is very nice and fun I am in California USA and want to say thank you 😁😁
Glad you like them! ... and thanks for watching!
So quickly you did a perfect rendition of a tree in watercolor…perfect
Thanks Fala!
Like it ! Thank you very much for the tips Paul.
Glad you liked it!
You are amazing. Makes me try so much harder! Thank you!🎃
Love, love, love, watching you paint! You make it look so easy. I'm all excited now to go to my studio and practice your techniques. Thank you for doing these videos! God bless you!
Have fun Michele!
@@ArtbyPaulClark I will! Thanks!
@@ArtbyPaulClark One more thing....Do you possibly have a "reminder" list of techniques. There are so many things to remember and my memory (I'm 76) is a little questionable! :-)
I found you recently and love your work. I’ve been painting and teaching painting for years, but I’m not sure I’ll ever get to your level. You’re inspirational! Thank you!
Thank you Donna that's very kind, especially coming from a fellow teacher! - keep in touch! 👍🎨
Amazing to watch
Thanks Sushma!
Beautiful paintings, great explanations. thank you

Hi Paul,I'm from iran ,I,like your course and learning perfectly ,thank u very much of your teaching.🙏
Thanks - from Iran!
Wow, beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
You are a wealth of information and knowledge... Great tips... Learnt quite a lot... Thanks
Glad to hear that Rajan!
Thanks alot for giving precious info.
So nice of you - More to come!!!
I love trees with no leaves. It shows the true character of the tree. I really enjoy your painting. You make it look so easy. When I lift, it does not come out as white as yours does. It is still wet, but I have to go over it several times when lifting. Perhaps because of the stain some paints leave. I have to keep practicing, I guess.
Hi Delores - different paint/paper combinations will work in different was. I also have to lift out several times to get the nice white - so thats quite normal!
This was so entertaining but useful. I can add some dimensions to my V’s now. I really liked your close up birds and the ending of the paintings was very impressive! Thanks as always, learning so much. 🦅
Glad it was helpful!
I use mixed media with mainly watercolors. While I have left area white, lifted and scraped and even used white gouache in touches, I haven't thought of using white pastels - and I have lots as I like to do large landscapes with chalk pastel. Next time I need a subtle highlight I will give it a go. Thanks Paul. Love your videos, your skill and your friendly attitude.
Sounds great! - cheers!
Very very usefull and inspiring
Thank you Paul, as usual
Glad you think so!
Best tutorial I have ever seen
Wow!!!! - that's great to hear Dianne! - many thanks!
I discovered you about a week ago and have learned so much! I have ordered your book. As others are commenting, you teaching is so understandable and simplified. And I am very inspired to try to create paintings that in the past I thought were beyond me. You have asked for questions for future videos. This is not necessarily that, but I am going to throw it out because I am so stymied by this problem. I have been asked to paint a 100 year old farm house. My problem is that the siding is scalloped. It is very much a part of the beauty of the house but I can't figure out how to do it in the painting without minute measuring and drawing each tiny scalloped edge. I have watched every video on creating texture and painting old houses, barns, etc (which is how I found you!). So, today I will set that house aside and do an apple and a tree!
Hi Larry and Jan - many thanks for your kind words and chuffed you've ordered my book!!! - if you want to email me the pic of the farm house I'll have a look and see what I can suggest - artbypaulclark@gmail.com.
Great tips. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!

I recently discovered your videos and am so happy I did! You used a white pencil to make highlights on the apple, what exactly is this product? Thank you.
Welcome Josey!! - They are pastel pencils - if you have a look at the end of my Halloween video I go into a bit more detail - link: czcams.com/video/lCPF43vCbLM/video.html
THX *Paul Clark*👍👍👍👍👍🎨
Thank you - and thanks for watching! 😁
Another great video, can't wait to paint my favorite bur oak tree using this method. May I ask which rigger you used in this video? Mine is pretty worthless and I'm looking to buy a new one. Yours looks just about right. Thank you!
Hi Audrey, many thanks - I have a range of my own brand brushes made for me by Proarte - I've always found their brushes reliable and very good value for money. They have a good range of riggers and are available fairly widely.
@@ArtbyPaulClark Thank you again, I will look for them. One day I hope to be able to make branches as well as you do.
Paul, darling.
I LOVE watch you piant it's just so very RELAXING 😌 aaaaaah!
P.S.
A good "CUPPA" is optional. 😊
Glad you enjoy it!
really liked this one. will try it on my next tree. how do I paint white on color already existing?
You would have to use opaque paint.
Thank you great
You are welcome
You have really inspired me to get back to watercolours, Paul. I haven't tried for 25 years and have taken your advice and set up a small corner to work in. I have a lovely picture of my garden pond that is quite close up that I am unsure how to begin. Do you have any examples of closer subjects?
Wonderful! glad to help Tamsin - have a look at my channel you many find something suitable: czcams.com/channels/C2uMZ7qWrsCUorYdZbi8OA.html
@@ArtbyPaulClark Thanks a million--will look again.
Great tutorial....I've noticed that some papers don't lift out as well as others and also you should mention that some paints are quite staining and will not lift out as well....maybe a video on this would be helpful for beginners.
Very helpful, as always!
Wondering if you might do a tutorial sometime on painting white birch trees with a background. Thanks!
Cheers Donna - have you seen the last demo on this video? czcams.com/video/xMVEuCfSVbs/video.html
Just watched and commented! Great!
Thank you for sharing these great tips. As a beginner, I found most difficult part is control water amounts in brushes. Would it possible to teach that portion?
Yes, definitely - keep in touch
Its helpeful ´
Cheers Allen
