How to Paint a Shrimp Trawler in Watercolour 

Welcome back. Great painting; I love that movie; it made me laugh and cry. I love how you find all this funky beer.

Wonderful tutorial, Paul. There are so many talented artists on RU-vid, but your videos teach as well as entertain!

The further down the Shrimp Menu you got, the more "deep Southern fried" your accent got lol. Your rigging was masterful, and quite magical to watch you paint it. Kept holding my breath for you on the rigging, but no need...

Wonderful composition with atmosphere

thanks from Turkey, my wife was suprized after saw my pictures in watercolor. I learn a lot from your videos❤

❤good morning Paul Thank you

Thanks Paul, I've missed the watercolour Wednesday, nice to have you back

Thanks Paul for the nice and great lesson, and I was happy to see your article/item in leisure painter. Your great .

I started doing watercolors from your videos, thank you. I have been painting for two years, one of which was oil, but now I love watercolor. I hope to do one day attend one of your workshops. Keep painting and sharing your knowledge.

Happy return Paul Wednesdays now back to normal thank you

Very enjoyable to watch. Your deft brushwork brings on a smile. Thank you for showing your efforts in their entirety, particularly corrections and improvements after reviewing.

And what is any Wednesday without a Wonderful Watercolor done brilliantly by my favorite artist? But of course, it is a day without sunshine! Much as your rays of sunshine were so sadly missed this past week, it only made this early morning's gift that much more to savor each and every stroke of your brush. I might be one of the very few who have never seen Forest Gump, but I do believe that your replay of Forest's litany of culinary shrimp delights has inspired me to spend this evening with a lovely glass of wine, my trusty rigger, etc and having a go at this wonderful old shrimp trawler whilst listening to this classic. Wish me luck that I do proper justice to the ole Jenny! 👩‍🦳🖌️

Your tutorials make me so happy! You're AMAZING

Welcome back Paul. Thank you for this new baautyful painting. Greetz Claudy

Wow!! I was missing this ! So happy today 😃

Awesome as always. Welcome back!

Hello from India! Thanks so much Paul, both your painting & presentation style is great & prompts one to have a go, nothwithstanding, as in my case, the talent or the ability!

It always amazes me Mr C how you're able to tell a story thro' your brushstrokes. A true master of his craft.

It’s great to see you back! Love this painting. My husband’s cousin has a shrimp boat like this. We live where Forest Gump supposedly grew up. Shrimping season started June 1. It’s pretty cool to be out on the water waiting for the season to start. All the boats about to put their nets in the water. My husband and I have gone shrimping in a smaller boat. He’s working on building a bigger boat right now so we can start shrimping again. Your impersonation of Forest Gump might need some improvement. 😉Lol. Come stay for awhile here and we can paint these boats plein air style and eat some Shrimp gumbo. It’s delicious! 🍤🍜🥖

Oh, to paint like you do. Oh mymy.😮 Caroline in USA

Welcome back Paul, you have been missed.

Glad you had a wonderful cruise and happy to have you back! Super little painting. Thank you.

Hello Paul, contente de vous retrouver avec ce nouveau exercice. Merci 🖌🎨 je ferai cela ce week-end. 😊

Loved everything! The music, the painting, the accent, all of it! And welcome home!

Nice to see you back Paul hope you enjoyed your trip, another wonderful painting thanks Paul really enjoyed it

Love the reflections. Something for me to work on. Pleased to see you back. Andy

Welcome back Mr. Clark 🎉. You have been missed. Watercolor Wednesday without your smiling face just isn’t the same.😢. I hope you and Miss Margot are doing well, and your little dogs too!

Amazing. And heartwarming to remember such a great film. Thank you for the tutorial. Especially helpful tip about the black and white photo to check values! Thank you

Made me want to watch the film again! A cool water scene was just what we needed in this hot weather, ( mid Essex ), lovely! Thankyou! XXX

You’re a master…so enjoyable to watch you paint😊

This will be my next project! 😊

Very beautiful!! Welcome back!! Thank you Paul 😊

Merci beaucoup pour ce pas à pas 😊

Thank you. Your videos are so inspiring.

You know that life is like a box of chocolates…. You never know what you’re going to get! Story of my life and watercolor.. never know how is going to come out! 😅 I thought for the short brake you’re going to eat a chocolate, just for a change. Love from hot Florida

Thank once again for your fantastic work

This was fun..Getting better at using the rigger !! You have taught me so much and I've had lots of fun in the process!! Thanks so much for sharing your talent..

Another great painting lesson! I have to buy myself a rigger :)

Great video Paul , loved Forest Gump ! Just off to my art group a full day painting boats 🤣🧑🏼‍🎨

Hi Paul, Thank you for such a great video! Can't wait to try it. Glad all of you had a good time. welcome back.

Thank you so much for your shrimp boat. We often see them as we live in Texas near the Gulf of Mexico. I am going to paint this again and add sand and palm trees.

Nice to have you back Paul! Will surely try this

Fantastic. Thank you so much from Spain.🍀

Thanks a lot for your tutorials! I used to paint in watercolor at school but almost dropped it in later years. When I returned to painting about three years ago, I've been sticking to acrylics since. You helped me rediscover the magic of watercolor! This summer I attend weekly pleinairs in my city!

It was so good to see you back. I missed you last week so much thought I'd missed your tutorial

The three B's! Boats, Birds and Bridges! Any one of which will bring me on the run! Beautiful painting!

Boy ! Did I miss you ! Glad to are back.

Forrest would be honoured!

All of your videos are wonderful, but there was something rather touching about this one. Thank you for sharing!

Fabulous tutorial and painting! I think we might be having shrimps for tea! 🦐🦐

Thank you so much! Perfect timing on painting work boats since we are in Maine (USA).

Thanks Paul. Peter from Noosa Australia. Great painting, love forest. Thanks particularly for your technique and helpful hints. I so much enjoy your paintings. Please keep them coming. Peter B.

Peter from Noosa again. A little p.S. We are in England at the moment. Having arrived 11 days ago we have enjoyed great weather. Don’t know what you all complain about. Every day is warm and sunny. Hope this continues for the rest of summer. Have fun. Peter

Thank you, great to have you back!

I sure miss your weekly painting when you are out having fun and teaching!! Hope two had a fantastic time and welcome back!! LOVED 🥰 your painting today! You make it look so easy!

Thank you, Paul! I have always wanted to paint a boat like this, namely a lobster boat, but this is close enough! Wonderful tutorial! Thanks, from the mountains of Colorado, USA.

welcome back Paul 🌹

Glad you are back. Love the Jenny. I was very pleased to see your article in Leisure Painter looking forward to part 2

Marvellous painting

Beautiful!

Oh you make it look so easy

I enjoyed this very much, you are a very good artist, beautiful painting

As always awesome Mr. Clark thanks 😊

Thank you so much for the wonderful variety of subjects you cover. I'm a novice painter, but with your help I really feel like I'm making progress! The shrimp boat was certainly a challenge for me, but I really loved painting it....and again, I learned loads! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Happy you are back! Hope you enjoyed your trip! I had zero interest in painting this tutorial until I watched the video. Now I can’t wait to give it a go! Thanks again for all you give!

Excellent. Thank you. My favourite subject to paint. Your rigging is amazing. I may have to spend the week practicing that ! See you soon

Good afternoon, dear Paul! Nice composition, beautiful colors, great mood and as all your followers said: welcome back with new ideas and lessons! ❤ Lilia from Moldova

Very enjoyable as always. And there’s me thinking you’d overlooked the reflection of the topmost part of the boat- and then out comes the gouache!?? Oh ye of little faith..! Thanks again.

Great to see you!!!!! This looks wonderful. Thanks!

Thanks again for a terrific painting.

So glad that you’re back! Beautiful painting!💐❣️‼️🖌️🎨.

How delightful 😊!!! Great tribute to Forrest Gump... and your accent was spot on... especially when you said "Jenny" ... Always enjoy your skies and water ... but how you managed those lines with your rigger brush is something amazing! Welcome back, Sir Paul!!! With love and gratitude from a California Gramma ❤️

I laughed out loud at your southern accent. Don’t forget Shrimp and Grits! Big dish here in the South.

Thanks Paul. Beautiful work as always. 🍺CHEERS and have nice days.

Thanks so much again Paul. So good to see it all the way through. I started a few days ago. Your touch on the rigging was superb. (no surprises there)! Cheers

I can’t wait to get started on this before my little ones get here for the day ! Thank you as always Paul, you are an amazing teacher !!!

Whoo Hoo ! It’s Wednesday!

Great to have you back though I, too, have been unable to devote much time for art. Another great tutorial. Thank you

Thank you so much for your tutorial Paul and the templates are all very useful!

Welcolm back. You have both been missed, but what great time you looked to be having. I love this tutorial and can't wait to give it a go. Thanks for all your hard work, talent, inspiration, and teaching👍

Great video! Thanks a lot for this class...and it is so nice remember Forrest Gump...run Forrester run!!! 😂

Wonderful tutorial Paul, welcome back😊

Just amazing!! The reflection!! Thank you!

Happy to see you back. One of my favorite places to visit here is Newport Oregon where there is no end to old fishing boats to view. (crab boats mostly) Cant wait to follow along and hang this one on my wall.

That was quite a movie, love your boat painting. I think I still have the two disk collection of music and songs from the movie. We all pray they find the small submarine in trouble during these current times. Very glad you all had a safe trip.

Thanks! Love your work!

Welcome back Paul. Really great lesson, love what you do with all that rigging. Excellent color choice, all in all a masterpiece. Sherry

Ooooh enjoyed this one Paul, thank you 👍

Amazing shrimp trawler! We cracked up over your Bubba And Forest quotes! 😂 Thank you for entertaining and inspirational tutorials. :)

Another beautiful job Paul!

Nice to ser you back, congratulations😊😊

Great job 👏 👍

Thank you for yet another wonderful tutorial. Wasn't really expecting one today as you have just returned from your cruise. Glad to see you back in full form😊

Beautiful as always. Thank you so much for sharing

My husband had a shrimp trawler in South Carolina 20 years ago after he retired from the Marines. It's complicated to man a trawler, at least two needed, four is better. Stinks to high heaven, ropes break all the time, and a 1st mate lived on the boat. It sank a week after we sold it. 😀 By the way, your southern accent in the opening was great. Now learn to say Y'all and you'd fit right in.

I didn’t realise that there was a Watercolour Wednesday today, I was busy outside!
