    Love it! As to your question about different words… 35 years ago on a trip to the UK, our group saw a sign at a restaurant: NO FOOTBALL COACHES. Meaning no soccer buses. We of course thought they were banning NFL coaches. 😅

    Paul. hope you and Margot are having a great time with your students in Ibiza!
    This was a great video to watch. It's made me realise that it's about time I revised my very rusty techniques. I've been busy with a big project for the last 3 months and done almost all pencil sketches when I've (somewhat guiltily,) taken some very necessary time to go out, get some fresh air, and do some art just for me!
    The project's almost done, and the weather's getting better, so I'm really looking forward to being free to get out and paint before it gets too hot. So, yes, almost time for some revision.
    Many thanks for this much-needed 'revision lesson' as well as a very enjoyable 30 minutes watching magic happen before my eyes. 😊

    Two great loves of my life - the Sonoran desert (Saguaro cactus) and rusty abandoned vehicles. You have "hit a home run" on this one! This piece will inspire me to start doing my art again after a fairly long dry period. Thank you! You're the best artist I have come across on CZcams.

    A beautiful interpretation of the “painted” desert. Lovely 3-D effect on the rocks and car, almost pops out from the paper! The saguaro cacti are well done 🌵. I’ve been out to Arizona to visit my aunt, the cacti are very impressive. Thanks for another lovely tutorial, Mr. Clark 🎉

    Goodness gracious, my favorite day of the week! Wonderful Watercolor Wednesday!! And dare I say, you as always never disappoint. This rusty old gem of long past times laying nestled in it's desert bed. Your exquisite painting so brilliantly brings out the rusty colors, the fine workmanship of the original automobile, the effects of long wear, tear and time. As ever, your superb techniques with the card scraper bring the rocks to life....I am quite sure that if a pile of rocks could talk....we would hear them whispering amongst themselves.
    Thanks ever so much for sharing with us your amazing talent. Safe and happy travels in the coming weeks, you will be greatly missed by this avid subscriber!! 👩‍🦳🖌️😢

    Awesome. I can't believe you're doing a tutorial on this. I just got done painting an old Ford jalopy, in the desert of Bodie California, US. Quite similar to this. I had painted your lovely rusty tractor, because I live in Iowa and learned so much, I tried an old Ford. It's fun to see what you're doing, and what I did, so that I can improve next time. I didn't do too bad though. I learned a lot from the tractor and this one taught me even more! I love it. Thank you!!

    @mchris1020 Před rokem

    Surprised to hear you say that you hadn't painted a saguaro cactus before--have you beat on that since I live in the desert. Loved watching you paint this old rusty car and watching how you add the colors, let them bleed to create the textures of rust. I appreciated the close up of the plastic card technique of creating rocks. I found out that I was scraping rather than pressing down to move the paint. This creates the craggy type rocks that I have had trouble with. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge--have learned so much!

    I enjoyed that video so much! I bet if you uploaded a 4 hour video I’d get nothing done because I’d sit here and watch it til the end! You show us all how to create details in so many different ways. I love the scrapping technique with the card. I also love the highlight technique. The splatter technique. This video has it all! Loved the music too. I’m also a fan of language and find it interesting how different parts of the world call things. Even in the US we have a lot of different ways of calling things. Roundabout, or traffic circle. Freeway or highway. Not just cars but for soda. Or pop. Carts or buggys.
    I will be sad if there’s no video next week. 😭😭😭 But I understand your schedule is better spent for in person events. I keep looking to see if you’ve planned a trip to the US. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I for sure will be in that class if you do. 🎨🖌🖼 Have a blessed day and thank you for all you do.

    There is always something evocative about old, abandoned cars. A car is arguably the ultimate symbol of modern civilization. There was an American novel written in the 1940s called "Earth Abides". It was set after a pandemic had killed most of humanity. Twenty years into the aftermath, children of the survivors are using abandoned cars as playhouses. There was also a 1980s children's book written and beautifully illustrated by Graham Oakley called "Henry's Quest", which was set in a future society that had regressed to medieval standards. Henry is a young man who goes on a mission to find a mysterious substance called "petrol". Ancient machinery can be seen all over the place, half-buried in shrubbery. Some words for an unreliable car that always breaks down are: bomb, lemon, clunker.

    Hi Paul, loved this one, hope it is the start of a series…. Your comment about saving the best bit ‘til last rang true, exactly what I do. But my grandad who was a volunteer fireman, had the opposite philosophy - he always ate his best bit first in case he was called out and had to leave his dinner, missing the best bit entirely.
    Thank you for such a great channel, our whole family enjoy it, and my daughters who are would be artists, have learned a great deal, the eldest one has seen improved art grades at school since we have started watching, evidence that you are a brilliant teacher.
