How to paint a mountain scene in watercolour 

I literally can't wait for your weekly video tutorials, Paul. I particularly like your personality, humour and technique. Your videos are concise without being rushed. I absolutely love how you give your paint mixtures/ratios as you paint with numerous explanations about why and how you are accomplishing the steps. You are my new favorite watercolorist on RU-vid without a doubt. Many thanks to you. I'm already looking forward to next week's installment. 👍👏

Oh wow! Your puppies! Precious, precious animals. All they want is love.

Your three pets are adorable! Thanks for popping them in the video!

You're by far the most entertaining, playful, light-hearted, vibrant, high-spirited visual artist I've known in my life. I wish I could study with you. 😊😊😊😊

So many people are very snobby about Bob Ross, but he was the one who first got me interested in painting in the 80's. I did originally paint in oils and acrylic. He was such a kind soul. Love this tutorial.

These are lovely soft mountains. I can't wait to give them a try. I would love to see a tutorial on distant rugged snow-capped mountains, such as the Alps. By the way, I love the tribute to Bob Ross and his "happy little trees".

I've been binge-watching your videos for the past couple of days after discovering your channel (got to get an acrylic Santa Claus painting done for my grandchildren before I start putting your tuition into practice) but just wanted to agree with the person who mentioned the music you use - it's a real de-stresser, doesn't distract from the content itself and perfectly complements your style of presentation. Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness in this regard.

Thank you Paul. Having you here on Yotube is like having a real teacher. I have learned a ton from your tutorials and I am really grateful. There was a time I couldn't even put down a flat wash on paper and now I can hold my own and follow your tutorials and end up with something pretty impressive. Thank you again for your generosity and the work you do! if you only knew how happy you make us. and your sense of humor......... just the best

I SO enjoy all of your videos. You are so detailed and versatile. The first thing I learned was, "it's Pole Clawk" and you use a "number 3 riggaw". Then I paid more attention to the instructions. I'm 87 and have only used Acrylics doing murals. Now that I can't climb a ladder and sitting is my most comfortable position, watercolor painting has become a passion to learn. I watch so many videos, but Louise" De Masi and you are my favorites. Totally different styles and subjects, but both the kind of precise instruction I need. I've painted this scene twice. I haven't learned the light touch watercolor can have if properly painted so I wasn't satisfied with the first, and painted the second. I was looking for a the little improvement when I knocked a half full pint jar of water all over the painting, my desk, my lap and the rug drank the rest. "No, you can't "stretch" your painting after you paint the picture!" So, I hope the addage, "Third time's the charm" is true. I will try again in two days, "Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise". Thank you for your years of experience and knowledge that you share so humorously.

Paul lovely. It would take years before one could to do what you did so well in 17 minutes. Thank you Paul God bless you...... but I am a Buddhist and say may the blessings of the Buddha be with you always.

The Watercolour Police!! 😂 I love that! I think fear of them is one of the (many) things that’s holding me back. But using pastels to catch highlights is genius. Thanks for your time and the generous sharing of your talent. Oh, and I’d like to think Bob is fondly watching over you with a happy little smile! X

This is the second time I have watched it and going to attempt it again. I liked it very much.

One I actually have not seen yet! I loved this! ..the scene, the colors, the style..your dogs, your humor.. Thank You!

That was beautiful Paul! Thank you! I love your sense of humor. It brightens my day!🤗

I just spent money on 100% cotton paper and this will be the painting I will try on it. I was encouraged to read that you painted it twice before you were happy with it. That will help me jump in. Thank you!

I am so grateful that Jenna Rainey shared her opinion of your videos, you, and your talent!

I love this picture! You are a grat artist! I am glad that I have found your channel which gives me a lot of inspiration to paint with watercolour.

I got started painting during lockdowns after watching Bob Ross’ series “The Joy of Painting.” I find his voice relaxing and when I can’t sleep I listen to his videos. He makes oil painting look so easy but I found it isn’t that easy. I soon switched to watercolor painting and recently found your channel. I have learned so much through your videos. I have been watching all your previous videos and look forward to new ones each week. You have a great sense of humor which makes it even more enjoyable. I appreciate that you share your knowledge, tips, instruction, talent, enthusiasm and humor with others. Painting has become my therapy and has kept my sanity over these past 2+ years! Thank you from California!

Hey that was therapy Paul - I so enjoy your videos they make me laugh so much and really bring me to a happy relaxed mindset - your a great guy and I’ve learned a great deal having merged your style into mine - it’s all about fun and remembering that we are here on this planet to be happy and not get too worked up about mistakes- every time I make one my wife misses them and points out a part of the painting I actually like and say “ that’s not worked honey “ - please keep going you are brilliant

Thank Mr. Paul Clark. Lovely and refreshing water painting 5 steps.

Great video as always. The Old footage of Bob Ross cracked me up. All good teachers such as yourself have the rare ability to combine solid understandable content with a fun and humerous style that makes it all enjoyable. Thanks!

This was such a nice tutorial especially the mixing of colors and all the other tips and techniques. The mountains were so impressive! You did well impersonating Bob Ross who started so many with oils but you are a star on watercolors, techniques, and tips. Thanks for sharing your talent on UTUBE. Thanks to Margot, too who adds so much to the show and offering resources to paint. 🤗

Your videos are the absolute best. Not only are you incredibly talented, you’re quite funny. I’ve learned so much from watching your videos. Thank you! Cheers.

After 20 years or so in the Air Force Bob Ross taught us how to paint wet in wet acrylic and oils. He did it all for free on PBS. I loved watching him bring a white sheet of paper to life. I loved it so much that I started and I owe it all to him. July 1995 was one of the saddest months (well August) in my personal history. My first deployment on a Western Pacific cruise in the Navy(aka WestPac). In August we had a Tomcat strike the fantail and almost lost the pilot and the RIO. Luck was with us all. Luck and some damn fine sailors with their stuff tight. After sorties and clean up I heeded below deck and got the news of Bob's passing. We don't get a lot of news at sea. I knew he was sick pre-deployment. I was alone and I started to cry. All the adrenalin and the excitement and War and OMG I am in the middle of the Persian Gulf surrounded by sea snakes and war and the death of an idol just filled me to bursting. Sad. I felt like I had to hide. Then an NCO witnessed and he told me it was natural. Soothing my emotional state was very very important. I told him of Bob and I think he was about to cry too.

The video of the mountain and the lake had me mesmerized! wonderful¡

I love how you combine watercolor and pastels!

Thank you Paul another lovely painting🙂

just saw you for the first time.i had given up on water colors.you convinced me to try again.you are the best teacher i ever saw.I look forward to being a regular follower of your videos.thank you

He does such a great job explaining his work and I get excited and want to try it myself. I love his lessons!

I love watching you paint, please keep them coming.

Enjoyed this video a lot! It is a pleasure to see the beautiful landscape emerging... thank you for the inspiration and for sharing your knowledge and skills.... 🙏🙏

I love your humor and tutorials!!! 3 👍

Paul your humour is always on point, never misses to make us laugh!

I have seen so many you tube videos for art instruction but nothing compares to your narrative. Seriously, I'm actually learning here Paul. Looking forward to viewing more of your tutorials sir. Good day...

One of the most informative tutors on here, and funny too! I have learnt a lot. Thank you

I loved this tutorial! Thank you so much. I appreciate how you explain the paint mixtures with percentages and the fact that you are also incorporating the pastels.

You are hilarious Paul. :) I so enjoyed your tutorial.Thanks so much for talking us through step by step and sharing the colors you're using. I almost think I could do this! I appreciate you sharing your techniques as well. Your mountains are amazing! It's what caught my eye!!! And thanks for not disappointing us by withholding your splatters!!!

Another wonderful Watercolor tutorial with Paul! This autumn painting is grand adding the buck and all those beautiful colors which is so common in New England. As always your process and tips are so helpful for all levels of painters, thank you! 🎨

Вы- волшебник! Белый лист бумаги на глазах превращается в живой кусочек природы, стоит только прочитать заклинание, дунуть на лист и все оживет: зашумит ветер в роще, зажурчит река, запоют птицы и лучик солнца согреет лицо! Чудо! Сказка! И к тому же волшебник заряжает своим позитивом картины и своих учеников!!!

Beautiful Paul thanks for your on going help much appreciated 🤗

Thank you Paul. I absolutely LOVE your videos and your style of painting. I, too, look forward to your videos and will definitely give this one a go. The Bob Ross “tribute” was so funny 😁 Really appreciate what you do to help all the artists out here. You’re easily the best watercolor painter on RU-vid, and the best teacher 😊

Thank you once again for a beautiful picture of a happy mountain painting! The rich colors you chose... just loved. When I'm ready to try it, I will set up my new tablet and watch, pause and paint!!! Just getting use to different phone and this Gramma and technical "stuff". Whew! I'll be painting in no time at all!❤My rigger isn't as strong as yours... may have to find a new one. Any ideas for buying one? God bless you for sharing your gift with all of us! From a California Gramma ❤

I love the pastel over the watercolour!

I love to see all your video tutorials. I love the way of your explanations. Thank you.

This one was so challenging to paint! So many details and moments that I had to stop and wait for it to dry before I could go on. I made some mistakes, but I am proud of my result! Thank you Paul for the lovely tutorials, your humour and your talent!

A beautiful and most enjoyable video! Thank you so much for these weekly videos.

My gratitude to you, Paul! I am in the process of once again picking up my painting passion, as I now have time to learn and improve. You're "just the ticket", as we say here in the mts of NC USA. I am alone, having lost my husband of 50 years and you and your instruction are life savers! I would love to see a glimpse of your workspace as you dip your brush. (water ratio, etc) Again, many thanks.

Thank you👍 it’s look simple and easy to leanl, You are the besst of Demonstration👍👍😍

Thanks, beautiful! Fantastic painting

Hi Paul, I am from Washington State, I love your technique and the way you do tutorials, Easy to understand, Just starting to learn watercolors and have never tried yet, I am glad I found your RU-vid Channel, Mixing colors is a good start for me and watching your every tutorial is really a plus. Can't wait to watch your other tutorials. I keep myself tuned in for hours. Thank you

I just discovered you! And I have been binge watching now for two days! Your paintings are wonderful, your instruction informative, and immensely entertaining.

Thanks for the info regarding the pastel pencils. I'm gonna cop myself a set asap. Thanks also for all the formulas for the colors. I usually just mix till the color matches the color I need as close as possible. Your formulae will get me into the ballpark must quicker.

hi Paul you are one of the best watercolor artist I have known. bravo

Having a wonderful time painting along with Paul. So far, I’ve tried three watercolour paintings. Your little tips and techniques are going a long way in improving my watercolours. Thanks once again.

Wonderful painting. And I like the way you mention the mix of colors. Thank you for a great lesson.

Thank you Paul. You are a recent find for me at the right time as I am a beginner and you are a brilliant teacher! Really enjoy watching your videos but yet to put to practice! Loving your humour.

Thoroughly enjoying your talent, tips, style, and humor ...keep them coming!

Wow, what a nice addition those pastels are going to be in my art bag! Thanks for that tip!

EXACTLY my kind of landscape painting! It's very helpful that you explain your materials at the beginning of the video. Hope you do more similar to this, thank you!

Paul, just tried the pastel pencils on a gouache piece, fantastic finish. To think they were sitting in a drawer. Now out and prominent. Thanks so much. Your instruction is wonderful.

Thank you Paul, another brilliant video packed with tips and inspiration.

WOW!! Love the highlighting with pastel. Really adds a depth and brightness to the scene♥️👍

Thanks greatly appreciated didn't finish watching the other day, very calmly explained to inspire others. Thanks stay safe

Beautiful ! The way you explain steps and how to mix the colors by % is so helpful! I love your videos and look forward to more!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent and those beautiful dogs!!😀

un paisaje sencillo con un contraste hermoso

Loved it! Got to get a few paints and paper. What a lovely way to pass time.

Thank you Paul, for these absolutely wonderful tutorials. I have recently found your channel, and subscribed. I have been watching other tutorials,reading books, and trying to learn watercolor. You have helped me to understand the painting process more than any other tutorial I have watched. Thank you again so much. You are a very gifted artist!

I absolutely love your work and your style of teaching. I have learned so much from watching your videos and look forward to future ones. Thank you.

Its magic. I love to watch and listen carefully your videos sir.... each step is explained. Learning so much from you sir. Thank you

Colourful, fresh and lively. Love how the pastels pick up the texture of the paper and give the impression of leaves. So pretty! Thanks for sharing your talents Paul!

I enjoy your tutorials the most!

Wonderful video, your humour just livened the whole video up Bob lol. Teaching style is awesome love all the details with paint ratios.

Gorgeous painting!! Thank you!

I just discovered your series, especially the line and wash. I played a few videos on my 58" tv, wow, what glorious color and inspiration!

Beautiful painting Paul, and love your technique and sense of humour. In my opinion the painting was lovely even without the pastel touches

Kia Ora again Paul...I absolutely love your technique , style of teaching and more so your sense of humour . Always look forward to your weekly tutorial and also your choice of subjects. Keep it up . I have learnt so much as a beginner and this has also kept me sane in these trying times ❤️

I absolutely love mountain paintings! I love that you occasionally use other media in your paintings. It proves just how creative you can be when you allow yourself to think out of the box. I would like to see a painting with fog in it. I took some beautiful photos with trees all in white with the trees in the distance blurred by fog, but I have no idea how you would go about painting something like that. Thank you so much for these tutorials, I always learn something from them! God Bless

That is really beautiful! I especially love the color of the mountain. You make it look so easy. Personally, I’m on the verge of giving up. I just don’t seem to have a knack for watercolor. The only thing that has kept me from throwing in the towel completely is that I have a bazillion tubes of watercolor that I bought when I first decided to give it a go. Pray for me. lol

Your videos are very very helpful for me.

Love the tutorial and had a good laugh with the Bob Ross impersonation.

I've already painted several pictures based on your videos. I learned the dry brush technique last week. I really liked that the mountains were made with this technique, it’s a challenge for me to see if I can do it. It’s exciting to use pastel, I like it better than the pencil. I learn a lot from every video. Thank you very much.

Bravo!!! Awesome work! Thank you, Paul!👍

I’ve been following your channel for a few weeks and learned so much! Thanks you for creating all these awesome tutorials and teaching us how to paint 😃

Very motivation.. i love watching your videos!!

This is amazing.I love all your paintings

Love your tutorial and the background music was soothing. Needed this in stressful times. 🙏🏼

Absolutely amazing!

Fantastic painting and lesson. You're the best!

Looks like a dream land. Really wonderful Paul.

Going to paint this today. Sitting, watching now and in my head a voice is saying, "Joey, relax, not too much paint, don't "stir yourself around-t", work quickly." All of that is foreign to me. Then I heard the voice say, "DOES THAT BRUSH LOOK WORRIED TO YOU?!' Loved it!

Amazing again Paul! Crystal clear with your process, materials & techniques. Thank you for taking the time to do these! 😁

I did enjoy a lot, Paul!!! I felt very happy and relaxed the whole time. It is soooo beautiful, I could spend a whole day just watching you paint. Thank you so much Paul. 😊😊😊😊

For last nine months after lockdown in India,I started painting seeing RU-vid videos of various artists.I started with Oil pastels of my kids ,which were used up and worn out ones.But That didn't deter me.Then came soft pastels.Then poster colors and then finally I got my hands on acrylic painting.This was a turning point ,that last sunday I painted 20×20inch stretched Canvas painting inspired by UVN art.But for two days after seeing YOUR water colour videos I am terribly inclined to do this style too.Let me see How many days waiting👍 Merry Christmas to you and all of your fans and Thanks for such nice tutorials.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hello again Paul, a great video, I loved this, one of my favourite scenes. I love the greens and blues, they're amazing. I need lots more practice to get anywhere near your scenes Paul, but you're just the inspiration needed. Great tips with all the info anyone would need. (Beautiful music too!!) Many, many thanks.

Wow! Amazing painting very very nice vedio.

Yet another lovely painting to add to my saved ones to try later

You sir, are a joy to watch!

I like your lessons😊 and tshirts 💕🌾 thank you lots of love from Türkiye

I love your tutorials!! I just found you a couple of months ago and have done about 8 of your paint-a-longs. They are great. However this one was very difficult for me. I remember one of the first things I learned from you was to be sure your sketch is accurate (well this one was not!) my rocks looks like little plants in the water. It was fun and I loved mixing the colors. Have to practice my sketching. Thank you so much for your unselfish teaching tutorials I hope I can paint as well as you someday!! Thanks again.

Another masterpiece. Its lovely.
