How to paint a house in perspective with line and wash 

Awesome! Why did it take me over a month of watching other limited value, overly chatty videos, before I finally found Paul. Wow, what a difference. Paul's explanations and demonstrations are more efficient and effective than any others viewed on RU-vid. Something is wrong with RU-vid's algorithms as I spent weeks looking for a good fit. The searches kept bringing up the same five or six artists that did not meet my needs. Then finally I came upon one of Paul's videos by accident and after that I immediately subscribed. His sense of humor is a happy bonus. Loved the Bob Ross tribute!

I want to cry because none of my attempts look like your beautiful drawings Mr. Clark. But i never give up! :)

You sir are my favorite youtuber for watercolors. Cannot thank you enough for not charging for this valuable information.

"Are we sitting comfortably children?" I snorted unexpectedly with laughter...must be the pain meds. Enjoyable and informative, Paul. Thank you. 🎨

I am 72 years old and this is the FIRST explanation of perspective that I’ve ever heard, which makes sense and gives you a method to follow. THANK YOU, Paul.

Finally! I get it! Now I can draw buildings and stuff without getting a migraine! This is the best explanation I have ever seen. Thanks, Paul. I'm going to do this one, if it kills me! :) Love the autumny colours.

I can never get enough lessons on perspective, especially when they're as thorough and easy to replicate as this one. Thank you kindly, Paul!

I have never had such a good lesson in perspective drawing. Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to teach perspective , I’m learning a lot from your lessons , love your style of painting xoxo

Just happened to see this tutorial mentioned in an art Facebook page and thought I'd look into it. Wow! What a treasure to find! Perspective has always muddled my mind (I'm 72 yrs. young) but this was very clear and concise. Did a little "lookey-loo" into your book , too, and find I must have it!! I'm not a total beginner (5 yrs. into watercolor or any type of art at all) but I find I'm never beyond learning more of the basics. I love this little painting as well and will give it a go. Thank you very your generous teaching. Happy New Year from California!

Just what the doctor ordered, never thought too much about perspective, after watching ur video it makes sense to me, thank u

This 3 year old video will never get old. Fantastic! And great music too.

I loved learning about perspective. I understood a little more watching through this tutorial a second time. Thanks Paul for all you do for us!!! You and Margo are the greatest!!! 😊

That is the best explanation of perspective I’ve ever seen!

I remember my teacher trying to explain perspective to me and I finally just said I understood when I did not have a clue. After watching this I realize that it helps if the one teaching understands the principles. Many excellent artists just understand intuitively or they are good copyists and simply paint what they see. I don't think you get this instruction even in many art schools. Thank you so much. I learned a lot.

This is soooo brilliant! The bit about finding the center of a rectangle with the help of diagonals is exactly what I would have needed a few days ago when painting my barn... And I have the feeling that drawing the ink lines "broken" might prove just as important in the future. Thank you!

Watching you paint reminds me of my late husband. He was a lifelong professional artist and couldn't make a mistake. I've been an artist, and a journalist, and a mother, and for a time, a barmaid. Giggle. Until I retired I rarely had time to paint, now, I have long endless days to play. I do have to worry about eyestrain though after 8 or 10 hours hunched over the easel.

Wow i never knew this detailed stuff about perspective drawing thanks for this! Loved the painting too. 👍🏽

What a straightforward explanation, easy to follow, and what a nice guy! Thank you! I'm glad I found your channel

Thanks, Paul for making this so easy!!!

Oh my gosh! So, so helpful. Perspective is the bane of my existence. Thank you so much for breaking it down in easy to understand language.

Thank you so much Paul! Such a great lesson on perspective, and it has really helped me tremendously. When I looked at my drawing, I could tell something was not quite right, but never knew how to correct it. This makes so much sense now!

Thank you for the vanishing points being actually applied in a painting. I found this so much more helpful,

It was always a challege when I draw from a vanishing point with perspective. Thanks for the great lesson Paul. You are a good man.

Brilliant, as ever. Knowing perspective and putting into practice not necessarily the same thing. I’ll watch over and over until it sticks! Many thanks for your inspiration and great teaching.

Hi Paul, I love your tutorials. Line and wash has become one of my new fav's😊. I've been wanting to paint buildings but was confused about perspective. This lesson is GREAT! I'm going to book Mark it on my computer. Probably watch it several times. Thanks have a great day 💕

I understand perspective…well I thought I did. A seriously helpful explanation. Thank you.

Oh wow, now I understand! I'm so happy - no more slanted, irregular-shaped houses and buildings anymore! Thank you so much! 🌹

Loved this! I turned it into winter for a Christmas gift. Thank you, thank you! I am so ecstatic that I found your tutorials.

Thanks very much. Glad to have a refresher course on perspective, specifically relating to this drawing. I'm really excited to try this painting.

18 minutes into a 20 minute video and no splats!! I was panicking - but the splat king delivers eventually! Another great video Paul and beautiful result! Thank you!!

Thank you Paul for the refreshing course on perspective drawing.

That was perfectly understandable at last! I can see how it all works now.

I love your line and wash tutorials. More please! I learned a lot with this perspective lesson, thanks! You're a joy to follow! Thanks,Paul

Brilliant. I have 3 books relating to perspective and your video is the first time I have understood it. Thank you.

This is a fantastic tutorial for anybody learning to sketch. By following the perspective instructions step by step I've been able to produce something that actually looks realistic. Thank you !

You are amazing! It is always a miracle for me to see how you have a perfect feeling for the right time when to stop with details! I am always in danger from overdoing my paint and than it doesn't look good. Thank you very much! 💓🎉

One of the best perspective tutorials I have seen. Thanks Paul !

Now I think I can do this, such a joy to watch you and hear your commentary as you go, such a lift to my day. Thank you for what you share.

Best instruction on V. Point & perspective EVER! Thank you.

Great to see this lesson Paul. It certainly refreshes my memory and is a lovely picture.

This was wonderful!! I am new at watercolor and have been struggling quite a bit!! Thank you soooo much!!

Great lesson. Perspective has forever been my dread.... now I can't wait to start a new project so that I can practice this process.

Oh my goodness. Now I get it. Thanks Paul. I don’t think I’ve had it perspective explained like that and now it makes sense.

Yeahhhhhh! I finally understand perspective! Thank you so much!

I finaly find a perfect enplanation of what i needed.Thank you so much fot this video!

Another picture of yours that I came across and really like and will try to paint it this weekend.😅

I am so glad that I found you, thank you so much for sharing your experience, teaching in easy way.

Paul thanks for sharing your amazing detail in achieving a brilliant end result, greatly appreciating your videos to inspire others how best for improving our clear and detailed paintings too. Thanks greatly appreciated stay safe

This is lovely...I can’t wait to have a go x

Loved it! I took a drawing class and couldn't get it. So I found a high school teacher on line teaching her students and I got it. Watching you was like being in a classroom. Seeing it in a painting was great. Will try it. Paul when this COVID is truly over I'm coming to England to take one of your classes. God bless and stay safe!🤗

I've read and have seen demonstrations of drawing perspective before. This was the clearest one yet. Your video's production is very well done. Now I need to get off my arse and get painting!

This video was so helpful. The perspective was really enlightening. I followed along step by step. It turned out pretty good. Thank for the lesson.

Thanks to your instruction, this one turned out pretty well for me!

This has to be the best and clearest explanation of perspective that I have ever seen or heard. I have just finished the drawing example and a couple of others using what I have learned and I now feel thrilled to bits. Thank you Paul for your teaching.

A great teacher that makes you excited to turn up to class and to do homework! Thank you Mr Paul !

Thanks again for a great lesson! I’ve always been able to draw but perspective always gave my left handed brain a cramp! I’ve watched this twice now. I’m going to give a go now! I’m always sad when your lesson ends!

Your mini lesson on perspective is priceless! The clearest, simplest and most educational I have seen, thanks! Honestly, I don't get why you don't have more subscribers given your artistic and educational talents... Hope that number of subscribers goes up quickly, it would be well deserved!

Thanks Paul! I have perfect time watching your lessons. Love it!!!!!

Thank you so much ,Paul! Thank you for your time and best lessons.

Great lesson on perspective for us newbies. I knew some of it but this helped put it into perspective.....lol. Awesome work. Now we cant draw a building and have it look normal

WOW!! I am sure I'll have to watch this at least a dozen times before I get it right. The explanation of perspective you gave was great. A bit conry at the start- glad you don't carry on too much :) Your book should arrive today and I am anxious to get into it. I recreated your poppy field and I was quite pleased. Actually, I did 2- one from another youtube artist but yours is much more pleasing to the eye. Thank you for your instruction. I am having SO much fun.

That was a revelation. Amazing. I have not received any kind of formal teaching in any kind of art / drawing and that lesson was brilliant.

I learned more from watching your video than I did in art class at school! Thank you! 💡🤓

I truly enjoyed this pen and wash tutorial and the perspective drawing instructions/tips were very helpful - thank you!

I'm working on a similar type of painting: my childhood house in the USA.

This subject usually scares me… But Paul, you have shown me the way 😊 It all makes great sense and once you stick to the formula it is easy as riding your bike 🚲 Thank you.. So grateful ✏️🎨🖍

Thank you for the clear lesson on perspective! A lovely painting, too! It reminds me of my grandmother's house.

Great lesson! You make it look so easy! Thank you.

I have watched this so many times. I have been practicing it and I think I am getting it! I have never actually understood perspective, so thanks! Do you explain this in your book as well?

Excellent, clear quick and concise guide to draw a structure in perspective. Thank you!

Thank you Mr Clark , drawing buildings this way is brilliant .. thank you again.

Oh my God! Simply amazing! Fall is my favorite color! So, it is midnight and I have seen two of your videos back to back. I will have to go over perspective and points tomorrow 😂 Thank you!

Goodness that was the best perspective lesson I've ever seen! Thanks Paul...no more guess work!

out of my art class in my younger years how to draw a building is the only one I do remember......Thank you for the refresher course.

What a great tutorial! I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard a more comprehensive, yet simple way of doing perspective. You took the intimidation out of two point perspective for me. I’m a relative newcomer to your channel and I am really enjoying all of your wonderful tutorials. Love your style (in every way that can be ineterpreted)!

It’s really a great way of teaching. The sounds of the birds and cows at the end are also very interesting. I appreciate and enjoy this kind of teaching. Thank you very much.

A good review on perspective. A great example on how to put in trees and shrubs and make them appear to be real. Thanks again.

Loved how clearly you explained perspective. Thank you!

You make it look so easy I cannot wait to get started thanks Paul.

Paul, you are so much fun to watch as you paint! Thank you for all your teachings.

What a brilliant explanation ! Thank you Paul .

Thank you for making this easy and fun to understand.

Thanks Sir Paul, for helping us get the correct angle to draw a house with the correct background, love your paintings. From INDIA 🇮🇳♥

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skill! I have been planning to paint my house and I feel better equipped now! Love your work and detail, plus your detailed instructions.

Well it took me a while with a ruler and pencil, but I finally got there and I am reasonably pleased with my attempt. Thank you very much Paul. I thoroughly enjoyed having a go at this and look forward to the next one.

Thank you Paul for all your instructions in perspective and painting and anything else you share with us. You are by far the best painting teacher I have found on RU-vid. You take the time to tell us everything and make your video fun and informative. You tell us the color’s and the ratios. So important to any beginner like me who wants to succeed in following your lessons. Even if they aren’t the same when I do it, it will be close. I’ve been teaching decorative painting in acrylics for 40 years and know the qualities of a good instructor. You are one fantastic teacher!!!

You are a great teacher. Thank you. ❤️

Paul - thank you for explaining perspective so well ... I think I have finally got it! 👍😀 I love your painting.

Always a brilliant demonstration. You are among the very best teachers Paul. Thanks.

Just finishes painting this cottage, great lesson on perspective, thank you!

Thank you, your explanations are so clear and you make it seem so achievable. I can’t wait to give this a try.

That lesson should receive an award. Applause please!!! Thank you for filling my art lesson cup again....

You’re such a great teacher and you make me feel confident that I can try these new things. I need to practice this perspective more. I truly appreciate these lessons.

Thanks for that lesson. Tack för den lektionen. Ulla i Sweden

Great lesson and love watching you paint. Thanks

I vaguely remember this lesson of perspective from eighth grade art class (30 years ago!) thanks for the refresher!

When I was ia youngster I took 2 semesters of perspective drawing in college. I could do it but it was always a struggle- thamks for making things much clearer the second time around. Love you sense of humour too Paul- always a delight!

Best lesson in perspective I have ever followed... but I'm only 74 so who knows what lies ahead!

So well explained Paul. I could sense your inner graphic designer flooding through 👍. Its going to be my next little project with some timely kentish bluebells scattered by the cottage. Hope your well and thanks as always. 🎨
