How to Paint a Still Life with a Glass Vase in Watercolour 

You're such an amazing artist, that I very much doubt there is anything you can't paint. You've nailed it with the glass vase. Gorgeous colours throughout. Thank you for sharing.

Such a pleasure to watch you paint so effortlessly,

Thanks so much! I've wondered about reflection. Thank you for your willingness to exit your comfort zone to teach! You are, indeed, such a blessing!

You’ve captured the transparency of the glass vase beautifully. The colors are so harmonious. This was a treat to watch!

Absolutely beautiful as always

Well, your painted glass certainly is not half full! 😊 It was very helpful to watch you make the glass appear to be transparent and "glassy." I think perhaps the flower to the left of the tulip in the vase is a ranunculus rather than a rose, not that it matters. It's all beautifully done.

Great illusion of glass!

Thank you, teacher!

Your rose I believe is an osmanthus. Beautiful painting love a change once in a while!!!

Wishing you best of health always. A wonderful watercolour Wednesday. Thank you for the tutorial.

brilliantly painted

This was lovely and a pleasure to watch. My class last week was a glass vase with flowers in it. Lol But I went for very loose. Like abstract loose. 😊 everyone enjoyed it. I’ll be sharing this tutorial with them so they can practice something more challenging. As always I’m grateful for Wednesdays and your faithful videos. Keeping you in my prayers and hope you are feeling stronger and stronger each day. Much love from Alabama. ❤

Absolutely amazing!

Its Beautiful 🎉

The brush and paint are just magic in your hands Paul! Another beautiful painting! Thank You so much for sharing and providing the free downloads. Take care and see you soon 🤗

Another excellent watercolour tutorial Paul thank-you i always look forward to my watercolour Wednesdays

Another good comparison expertly painted..thanks

Looking forward to trying this.

A fantastic tutorial, thank you so much for helping to make painting glass less intimidating! Absolutely love watching you paint. You have a way of making it all feel so relaxing to watch. ( my son in law in the picture, not me) Jean

A excellent step by step video as usual . I hope you're recovering well

I believe watercolor is the best media to express literally transparent subject like glass, water, atmosphere and even human skin(sun light slightly penetrate the skin). Thanks for showing us the beauty of watercolor as always 🌷

Beautiful painting!! Well done!!!

Plain beautiful! Thank you!

Thank you for your time and very helpful TIPS on how to accomplish effects with the brush and water!! The "fuzzy" or distorted stems in the vase do look like they are in water!! Thank you for admitting that even you have some challenges when it coms to painting certain subjects! I do love the colors and especially the color in the vase! Take care of yourself. You and Margot have an incredible Wednesday!! :0)

Amazingly done Paul❤

Wonderful Paul!!! It looks real!!! Thank you for sharing this... also loved the tip on drawing symmetrical items! Prayers for your health... til next Wednesday!!! A California Gramma ❤

Thanks, Paul, for another wonderful demo. You make painting glass look relatively easy. I'm pretty sure it's not, but I look forward to practicing.

This is so beautiful and you make it look so easy! I will definitely be attempting this one. Thank you Paul for another beautiful tutorial ❤🙏

Very interesting especially the reflections, thanks very much.

Love the shining glass Paul! Going to have a go tomorrow. Love the help you give to all amateur painters like me. I’ve learned such a lot from you, thank you so much.

My Watercolour Wednesday this week, has been a Fascinating Friday morning instead!!!😁 Beautiful, inspiring watch !!🎨🖌️🤔

This is Stunning as usual Mr.Clark!!! So glad you’re back from your retreat & I hope all is well with you. Thanks

Thanks for the video, I really liked it! All the best!👍

So so lovely❤❤

Very nice sir I love your painting skill

Beautiful painting!

I really appreciated when you superimposed the reference photo. It’s so nice to be able to see what you’re painting and how you interpret it as you paint. It would have been nice to have it visible the whole time you were painting the vase especially. 💕

Well Pul, that has inspired me to have a go at a glass vase with a few flowers in. Thank you.

Glass vase is beautifull !! Thank you for all your videos and your explanations

Hello Paul, je regarde votre tuto avant d'aller travailler.merci pour ce tuto ensoleillé car il pleut ici chez moi. 🤗😉

So gorgeous. Thank you once again Paul!

Beautiful

thank you Paul😊 You that i am a florist 🙂Tulips, renoncule not roses😂and Mimosa flowers 😊😊😊 have a beautiful day

Love this. Always appreciate lesson on painting glass. I always take away something of value from your videos. Also love your tshirt collection!

Another beautiful lesson, much appreciated, thank you so very much.

Very nice !

Thanks for sharing.

Love it

So cool

Yeah Paul, I've only just finished a sort of Greek Island "montage" based on last weeks Santorini tutorial - so I just took lots of recurring features of blue and white buildings, sky, sea and bright light with shadows and made my own" village" - got a pot of geraniums in there and might go back and put in a skinny feral cat:) Am having a sausage roll now but then straight on to tulips in a turquoise vase. I love your apple "dents" by the way! Take care!

Oh my I’m scared now to try this…..gotta put my big girl pants on and brave up for this one!!!!! I’ll even love you or not after this one Paul !!!!! 😂😂😂😂

I just love your accent( I am from Texas so I know all about accents). I love watching you paint. You are so calm and kind with it.

Thanks!

hi paul. brian from across the pond. thank you for another great video! my question for you this week is how do you handle students that are struggling? do you take the brush and do it for them or do you just emphasize a certain technique in the hopes that they get it right? i know that watercolors can be frustrating sometimes and i was just wondering how you keep your students to maintain a positive attitude when the going gets rough. thank you and keep up the good work!

Thank you ❤

😊😊

Merci!

Thanks for another lovely tutorial. I'm trying to get an impressionistic feel to my watercolors, not too successfully, I might add. Have you done any tutorials in the style of Monet? I loved the Van Gogh and expressionistic tutorials.

I want to gift my mother a painting of Provincetown, MA. She’s in a nursing home. I have been contemplating what techniques I should use to accomplish my goal. This video provided a solution as to how I go about drawing Pilgrims Monument….thank you! I just wish I knew what technique I should use to paint the ocean. In my reference the ocean is very ripply, but the photo was taken from a distance. I don’t know what technique to use to achieve the effect of the movement of the ocean. I tried spattering, but it didn’t quite cut it. I find it quite frustrating that I don’t have anyone locally that I can consult or teaches techniques. Believe me when I tell you if I had the opportunity to take your classes in Sussex I WOULD! I appreciate all that I have learned from you online! It’s inspirational!

Hello from Toronto, Canada. I enjoy your videos very much and your humour. You explain things so well. I have a question... can you explain either here or in a video the pros and cons of watercolour paints in a tube vs the dried paints sold in pans/cubes. Thx.

grazie, sei dolcissimo!!!!!!

Just amazing!!! Quick question...if you don't have masking fluid can you paint highlights with acrylic paint???

You call out Daniel Smith’s green gold. What brands are the other colors? More importantly 🙃 what pink gin are you sipping? Love the tutorial.
