How to paint reflections in watercolour by Paul Clark 

You could be the reason I quit my job to become a full time watercolor artist. Thanks for spreading love in this world.

You are incredible. You are the answer to my prayers. Mostly, I see thee wonderful artists working magic on paper and find it heartbreaking when my own work seems so amateurish in comparison. But, you are actually teaching, every small detail, when one is likely to ake mistakes. I am watching all your tutorial videos now and my work is improving much. So, so happy and ever so grateful to you. Heartfelt thanks.

I teach beginning watercolor and I recommend your videos because 1) you have clear direction and 2) You break up your techniques into small chunks, which is easier for the beginner. Plus, I've learned a few things too! Thank-you! and I hope you'll continue making videos.

I learned more in 5 minutes than I learned in a college watercolor class. Thank you! Im teaching my 9 year old granddaughter with your videos and she is doing very well!

This is the best tutorial I’ve seen on reflections. Beautiful, subtle and calming. Thanks so much.

Thank you Paul Clark, I will use this in my painting. You bring a watercolor" alive " Amazing talent you have. Thank so much.

Been really enjoying these videos. Everything looks complicated in the final product but weirdly is simple. You break down everything so simply and don’t overcomplicate steps or use confusing terminology, so it’s easy to absorb. I started on watercolour three years ago and ended up transitioning to dry mediums like pastels, charcoal and pencil instead because I had complete control unlike with watercolour. As odd as it’ll sound, I’ve always felt Watercolour is a chaotic and sometimes unpredictable medium (which is probably why it appeals to some people lol). I’ve never been one of those “give yourself into chaos” girls, but thanks to these vids, I’m just picking it up again, I’m inspired to step out of my comfort zone and let chaos ensue 🤣

Easy to follow and understand, Paul. Wish I could’ve had you as my watercolor instructor decades ago. Your work is spontaneous and fresh. Thank you.

So generous of you! I really enjoy your teaching style and have learned so much from you. Thank you so much!

Bravo Paul Clark! Instructor of the Century!!

Just love, love, love how you teach! Thanks so much for sharing with us!!

Simple and so effective ! Beautiful . So helpful . The drying times and when to add and remove are appreciated . Can't wait to try it .Thanks yet again for a perfect lesson and for sharing your insights and talent with us . You make small wonders with a few brush strokes .

Wonderful, Paul. I even applied your suggestions to a painting that I thought was a complete failure and you turned it into something good. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.

Simple. Loads of good techniques given here!

Another great video, Paul! The "wait" instruction, the very clear re-wet and the lifting techniques are really helpful.

Just amazing. I remain in awe! Thanks so much!

Wow! You really pack a punch in five minutes! Lots of lovely techniques. Thanks!!

I love your videos! Short and sweet but so informative. Thank you!

I love this! I watched your trees video and painted lots of trees; now feel like spending some time tomorrow morning painting lots of tree reflections - just what I need to unwind!

Hi Paul, ty so much for sharing your time and talent. Love your teaching style. Full of warmth. I just found you and hope many more aspiring water colourists will find you. So thorough and so much to learn from :)

One of the best lessons in wc I've watched!! thank you!!

Oh my your paintings are so beautiful, thank you again for sharing your tips and techniques.

Just found your tutorials and am loving them! I am an intermediate watercolorist who is always eager to watch and learn more. Thanks for providing these helpful, wonderful videos!

Just found your video on RU-vid. I've just started a watercolour (my first from a photo without watching a tutorial) and I had no idea how to tackle the reflections of a wood above a river. Now I know! So helpful. Thank you 😊

Love your tutorials Paul, so watchable with great steps to follow and a bit of fun. I find the drawing is the easier bit for me, colours tones and values are what I’m trying to get right.

Just love your style, and your tutorials! Thank you so much for the humor and the talent you share with us 🙂

You are my favorite on u tube. I used to watch Bob Ross but oil isn't my medium. So thankful for you Paul! You are a great blessing! My watercolors have really improved!

I've never painted in watercolor because I thought it would be "too hard", so I've always painted in oils. However, after watching some of your videos I've said to myself, "Wow - I can do that." You're a genius! 😀

I LOVE your paintings, Paul.

I just can't tell you how much I enjoy these videos, makes me want to run right in my paint room and try them. Thank you so much again for the wonderful tutorial!

This has to be the PERFECT Watercolor tutorial. Seriously. The Best. Well done, sir.

Great lesson and love seeing the pantings as well . Thank you .

You are the best teacher! Thanks so much!

Thank you for the encouraging words! Yes I would have to practice until I get a hold on watercolor painting! But will continue watching your lessons so all the techniques get registered in my head and someday it will help to paint well...

It's just so easy to like your videos. Thank you for carrying me along the painting journey.

Thank you so much for sharing your considerable talent and experience with us. It is so refreshing to come across a channel that really inspires one to paint rather than promoting products. That said... I’ve just purchased your book which I highly recommend to anyone getting started with watercolour.
