5 Tips for Painting Trees in Watercolour by Paul Clark 

Hi - just a note to say, I do know who Winslow Homer is! - one of my favourite artists of all time!

I can only say thank you Mr Paul, for helping us with all your knowledge and teaching it in a practical and simple way for those of us who love watercolor.

Sir, I’m so happy ~ I’ve finally found the watercolourist-teacher I’ve been searching for! I love your art and you are such a good teacher! I’m hanging on for every new tutorial you may offer while I catch up with those I’ve missed. Thank you!!!

Seriously!!! My eyes just pop out of my head watching you’re painting! Amazing!!!

Oh Paul, where should I start... I love your watercolour style, I love how you explain everything so clearly, I love your humour, I love your fitting shirts, I love your accent and I just enjoy every second of every videos of yours. Your are the first RU-vidr where I know the day of the week when they upload a new video and what shall I say - I always look forward to Wednesday ;) Thank you so much that you share your expertise, I do really appreciate it a lot!

You got back to me very quickly thanks Paul. 8pm in Western Australia now. This video was very helpful thanks. I can see I will have to let my very neat and tidy brain relax with the palm trees.😊

It was hard to concentrate today Paul. Feeling very sad for my country today. I will come back and watch this video again because I love your work.

You’ve become my favorite artist! Thank you

Thanks Paul. The highlighting forward branches was brilliant. Can't believe how simple and effective it is. I think it will change how I look at paintings as well as painting trees. Loved the final tree since I am surrounded by that type. Must have a practice! Cheers.

Love to see how beautiful watercolor art is produced!

Finally here are great methods to paint trees. And so easy to learn. Of course we have a fabulous teacher. Thank you Paul. Love your work!

So much fun watching your videos. You are the best. Thank you as always for sharing your precious gift.

Very nice presentation. I am a retired graphic artist, watercolor wannabe. My profession required ridged precise edges and had little room for visual spontaneity. I am trying to become respectable with watercolor and I greatly respect and appreciate when an accomplished professional shares some of the practices learned from a lifetime career. Thank you for sharing.

This was great Paul. I have such trouble painting trees. And I love your method and the way they look. Thank you so much. I am so happy that I found you on You Tube. Thanks again. I will keep on watching and learing.

Paul, I love your technique and your crisp and precise instructions. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with humour and care.

Thank you Paul !!! I get so much from watching your videos ! Thanks for being so giving with your sharing :-) You are amazing !

You are a very good teacher. Thank you so much for being so generous with your time and skills. Sonja, Namibia

Thank you Paul. I love your style and techniques. especially the no 5 you showed how to paint trees in forest. something new I learnt.

i´m so glad i found your channel. Your are just the teacher I´v been looking for. Love your style and it´s so easy to follow your step by step

Paul - these tutorials just get better and better - and are helping my painting a LOT! I can't thank you enough. Just a quick request - what about a still life? Something with wine bottles - help us with reflections in glass? I know this is hard, but i bet you'll have some great tips that will help us all. Practice, practice, practice!!! Again, many thanks.

Hi Paul, thanks so much for your tutorials. I love your humor and your detailed instructions. I think I will have to start a new sketchbook with all your helpful lessons, complete with notes as my reference material. Trees, grasses, skies... You're covering them all! You inspire me to keep painting.

Brilliant. Took up drawing and watercolour during the first lockdown, no training or qualifications. Absolutely loving it and have done some charity commissions. Paul thank you for posting these, I love the 5 tips videos . People like you bring art to the masses. Thank you so much.

Gosh I always learn something by watching your videos!!! Thank you!!!

I learn a lot from you Mr.Paul Clark and again thanks.

Thank you for your uplifting and encouraging way of teaching. I wish all my art teachers were as helpful and knowledgeable as you!! Happy Painting and Greetings from Germany.

Oh my gosh Paul I am in awe of your work and techniques that you use! I watched your grasses tutorial first and couldn’t stop there so moved on to trees! I really love and so want to master mountain landscapes. Also barns and wildflowers. At 67 years young I am just beginning my watercolor journey with no prior experience at all. A little overwhelming indeed but am convinced with the higher end supplies, lots of practice and the wonderful tutorials of yours I’ll be well on my way! So thank you so very much for sharing your gift!

Thank you Paul I think you have increased my confidence hundred times

Thank you for such specific tips. I look forward to your video every week.

Great tutorial and your sense of humor is appreciated!

Thank you so much Paul for this tree tutorial! As suggested, I have spent most of the day painting trees and I believe some improvement has been achieved. Just bought your brushes and love them!

I have only recently discovered this channel and have learned so much in such a short time. Paul is such an incredible teacher and gifted artist ! Thank you so much for sharing and demonstrating these techniques . I have ordered your book it's arriving today - can't wait.

Thank you so much for this one. I'm pretty good at trees but there were several tips here that will greatly improve upon my methods.

Thank you for this tutorial. My daughter and I were watching and she was legit jealous of your talent. I told her we should be grateful that you are sharing your knowledge with us. I’m actually painting a house with lots of trees and most of the branches are spindly so this gives me some tips to make them look more real.

Wonderful!! You are great! Thank you for sharing & inspiring.

Oh my your techniques are so helpful! I’ve learned so much!! I love your tutorials and how your shirts match the adventure! You are so wonderful to listen to as well! Love your accent!❤️ looking forward to your next week tutorial, but off I go to practice your tree techniques!!

Thank you Paul. Great tutorial.

Very enjoyable both as "TV" (as usual) and, of course, as a lesson! You gave trees 1b and 3 a lot of personality, and your version of "the promising lad's" painting is very good. I also appreciate the colour choices, including the absence of purple next to green or brown - a matter of personal taste, of course. Thank you so much!

This was fabulous! The credit card scrape technique was completely new and what a cool effect ~ love it! Thanks as always and keep these coming!

Thank you for being such an inspiration, Paul! I learn a lot from you. Really appreciate your channel and all the knowledge you share.
