Paul, you are so gifted and an incredible teacher. Also you teach us how to paint so many different subjects and make it simple. By the way I love your British sense of humor and your crazy fun shirts. It's all about having fun and you certainly know how to do it. Gracias
I have learned so much from your channel-shadows, color mixing, layering, brushes. I just finished the blue door and it looks pretty good! You make it look so easy, but it isn’t. I started in mid August and paint daily, thanks for sharing your talent
Fantastic tutorial. So much shadow and detail work is good training for me. Of course with that very healthy painting workout, we get the added benefit of the ambiance. Music, background set, and lots of chuckles with the humor. You manage to keep it tight in training, and loose in atmosphere. I love it. You're the BEST!
Love this painting, definitely will research. There are some excellent subtle lessons on layering colours to achieve realistic artwork. The colour you can feel the warmth of the Mexican sun. Love the wee dog, he adds life to the composition. Thanks for the great tutorial Paul.
I've really enjoyed doing this first exercise 3 years after the start of this wonderful website. It was great to see that the humour was there from the start.
Thanks very much Paul for your brilliant tutorials,your an excellent teacher,I recently rediscovered my love of drawing and sketching and your videos have given me the confidence to venture into watercolour using the primaries,hopefully I can learn to be more spontaneous as well. Thank you so much. Ian
Day two painting this one, usually is watching, pausing, rewinding your tutorial again and again, observing your techniques, freezing the screen, studying the painting, and lots and lots of corrections. Hopefully I will be happy with it enough to venture to post to your Facebook group. It is such a fantastic group. They made me feel very welcomed.
@@ArtbyPaulClark They really are. I posted a long message to thank you and Margot along with 3 of my paintings from your tutorials, and was warmly welcomed and approved.
Wow, you were brave with the under wash. Didn't think you could paint over it and it turned out so full of sunshine. Thanks so much for the entertainment, so enjoyable.
I watch mesmerised, you really have a gift. I have a long long way to go to get anywhere near that good. I've just ordered your book, so that's a start and hoping we get some lighter days to be able to see what I'm doing. Thank you Paul.
Today I will practice this as I slow down your video to 1/4 speed...so grateful for all your templates on your website, and I have transferred about 18 of them onto paper to practice along with you....you've made it so much easier for us, with your generosity....love all the interspersed fun as you wield your magic brush.... your value contrasts bring this building into a 3D pic, just out of the blue, and to life!!!so amazing watching you....👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I am recovering from thumb surgery (non-dominant hand, luckily) and watch your videos all day long! They are so soothing and inspiring! Thank you for sharing your talent and wit!
I was hoping to find a Mexican home and you did have it yay! I am from Veracruz Mexico. I can’t wait to get home and try it out. I sit on my lunch time at work watching your videos.
Thank you so much, mister Clark! I painted this picture following your guidelines and it looks almost as beautiful as yours. You are a very talented artist and a very deft teacher, with all your nice jokes. Appritiated for all your lessons.
Dear master Paul I loved the lesson as well your sense if humor ( the same as you I still giggle when I think about the Scottish fellow, people may think I am crazy when I smile for no reason) I tried myself the painting it was a challenge with the sketch, and your awesome guidance I made it. Thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge. Greetings from the llama land, Peru.
Hi again Paul. I painted your picture yesterday. I had fun and though it doesn't look exactly like yours, I'm a beginner, I'am very pleased with it. Sent pic to my family and they liked it. At least that's what they told me! I told them it was my Mexican villa and some asked when can they come down. I have your book on Watercolour painting and it's very helpful. Thanks Paul!
Hey, that great many thanks. So pleased you tried it out - I think it's important that it doesn't look exactly like mine as you will always put your own bit of personality into it... also thanks for buying my book, I hope you enjoy it ... you can also book me in for a two week stay in your Mexican villa next year!!!!
WOW - love the shirt - and that fancy guitar work in amazing! Thanks for yet another outstanding tutorial! you provide great ideas and tips and i'm eager to try them. i keep up with several watercolour artists on RU-vid - you're my favorite!!! i hope you will consider setting up online classes, on Zoom (or something like that) that we could purchase - many are live. Some teachers are doing that now, and it works pretty well. either way, i check in weekly for a great tutorial and mood-improving laugh!!! Many thanks.
As always that was amazing. One thing though, could you post how long it actually takes you to do these painting. It’s quite deceiving when I think about how long it took in real time. Thank you, I’m just catching up with all of your tutorials as you are a new artist to me. Wish I found you much sooner. ☺️
Love that you don't make me feel inadequate because I'm not good at drawing. May not be as good as yours but I'm happy if people recognise what I'm trying to represent. 😂😂👩🎨
Recently discovered you,. Love your tutorials, you make it fun with your humor, refreshing. Dog doesn't look runover, looks like a cougar though. I can't wait to paint this, if I can get it sketched out. Thank you!
Thank you soooo much for all your wonderful tutorials! My mother is Mexican, and I loved painting this for her as a gift. I live in the USA, and am not nearby to take your classes. :( Would you consider putting paid, online classes on your website? These free tutorials on RU-vid are amazing, and I would love to have more content, as well as pay you for your valuable tutorials!
Dear Paul. Thank you for you great art and teaching. I love it so much and as laughter teachter I laugh so much. My painting increase a lot since I watch your lessons. Thanks
You work so effortlessly, which is great to watch, thank you for providing drawings as well. I do have a question as to the grade of paper used, why 300Lb, is that to eliminate buckling? Its hard to find except online. Cheers!
So I watch a few of your calm shirt videos .... then this! You're always good for a laugh and your ability to slap on paint and make it look fantastic blows my mind. This one is definitely over my pay grade but I sure enjoyed watching you paint it.
Superb painting, Paul. The backing guitar music was really good an complimented your undoubted skill with a brush...... and, I suspect you are a better guitar player than you are letting on, too!
Thanks for the tutorial Paul. I completed the project to my (almost) satisfaction but felt I had to make adjustments. In the initial wash, I was unable to achieve the yellowish hue that you achieved with cadmium orange, no matter how diluted I made the paint. So I used the cadmium yellow instead, as well as cadmium orange, and it looked just like what you painted. Next, as others pointed out, your shadows are impossible on this planet. So I placed my light source in the upper left and painted my shadows accordingly. Lastly, the decomposing tree in the lower right contrasted with the vigorous healthy green plants of the hacienda so I resurrected the tree which has green leaves now. However, the placement of the tree still seems contrived. Nonetheless I learned a lot on this one. Thanks again!
Thanks for sharing the valuable knowledge and technique that you have accumulated with so many years of work with us. And great thanks for your time and effort in recording this nice video. It’s really nice!
Hi Paul. Happy 2024. I am binge watching your older Tutorials that I havnt yet seen. This Mexican hacienda is going to be my next effort. Trouble is Ì can SING better than I can paint with watercolours...but I try. TEQUILA!! CHEERS,🍸🍸🍹🍹
Thanks so much for the free sketch. That's so nice of you, Paul. I'm going to give this a try this week. I absolutely love it!!! Maybe I'll add a bench with a Mexican blanket draped on one side. I'm dreaming of course. I'm not that great at watercolor yet, but I'm from NM so I just have to, as you say, give it a go. I bought a couple of colors I needed; the cerulean blue and cad orange. So looking forward to doing this one!!! Thanks for the humor, the tutorial and watching the artist at work. :)
Thanks so much Laina and delighted you're going to 'give it ago!' - I reckon you could do the blanket too! Just remember you are doing 'your version' so don't worry too much about matching mine. Have fun and let me know how you get on.
Thankyou soooo much for this amazing video. What according to you makes a better presentation- this type of realistic approach or line and wash technique?
I really liked this video too. It was in the Mediterranean fishing village that the colors were so full and by the end, the picture was completely together. I had to paint it twice because I don’t have the same shades, so I started a new one at one-third. But I enjoyed it all along. I would like to ask which brand of paint you usually use. I can buy it in Hungary too. Thank you in advance for your answer. Regards Eva
You really make my day everytime i watched your videos, but this one really amazed me..specially the last part of the video..with the guitar.,coz i am a guitar player..thank you for your w-color lessons..
Love the painting which I did twice! I find water color is harder to mix than acrylics. When you mix with acrylics it's easy to use your thumb to estimate amounts for each color but I'm finding it much harder with watercolor and usually don't mix enough. You know what that means -- my colors are never exactly the same. Your lessons are great so I am going to keep on trying!
Thanks for that Lynn - you will find with time and practice it will become automatic and you won't even think about it! - watercolours do mix very easily and the great thing is you can reuse the paint after it dries - unlike those silly acrylics!!!!
:🤣😆🤣😆 Greetings from Mexico where you now have an admiring student. I'm learning a lot from your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and exquisite paintings.
OMG! What magic you possess!. I could watch you forever and a day and do! Thank you so much! The only thing missing is the sombrero. [Love that shirt! } You could also make a living with your beautiful voice. A painting troubadour so to speak! x
You always made me laugh but your work is always interesting and so full of tips and techniques! Great outfit, music, and Tequila tobring Mexico to us! Another great, Paul!
Lovely, it's tighter than your usual paintings, no?..I tried a painting... Of a blue door... From your book ... Most of my folks liked it.. Thanks. Wish I could show you 🙂 and I loved the music
