How to Paint Wisteria, Loose vs Tight on a Watercolour Holiday! 

Watercolor Wednesday is one of the highlights of my week. As always, thank you for sharing Mr. Clark. And Margot, too! 🥰 Cheers 🥂

I'm drawing with You for a year. Your channel is one of my favorites. I noticed a yellow and blue Ukrainian flag behind You. Well. Now Your channel has become just the best of my favorites. You are beautiful not only as an artist, teacher, but also as a person!

Absolutely Beautiful. I had seen so many pictures of Houses with blooming Wisteria and wished I could try them out. And A big salute to your sincerity dedication in recording a tutorial inspite of illhealth. Hats off to you. 🙏

Thank you Paul for your Beautiful painting video and the PowderMills Hotel grounds. Looks like a wonderful place. The student artists look focused and happy.

Just love this Paul.

Thanks for dragging me away from my 0 and 00 brushes now and then. I get buried in details. Such a lovely way to do it!

Ah, good old Powdermills :) Have good memories of there and my mum has the peacock painting framed on her wall. Maybe see you there in September!

You are such a great teacher. Your forethought and anticipation of challenges for artists are so clearly there. With humour and positivity you inspire me to have the confidence to try. I also now must have a Pimms. Thank you!

I haven't put brush to paper for a while now but having found myself housebound I thought I might give it another go. Looking for inspiration I found your watercolour tutorials and I find I rea,ly do want to give painting another go. Thanks Paul.

The hotel grounds are gorgeous, thank you... wonderful tutorials, thank you again

Your videos are the best on RU-vid! So much effort and clear instructions. Thank you so much 😊

Amazing to see painting come alive brilliant thanks Paul

I really enjoyed today's Watercolor wisteria Wednesday!. Such lovely paintings, as always. Thank you, Paul and Margot, for so generously sharing your time and takents!

Cannot wait to release my brushes on this beautiful sketch thanks all.

Wednesday is my favorite day because a new tutorial is released! I love both! I laughed out loud at the comment “I don’t know which god this statute is, but he’s the god of frisbee throwing”🤣. I love your painting and your sense of humor

My hump day pleasure. Thank you as always, your work is wonderful.

Beautiful. Love watching for the painting lessons, but your Sense of humor definitely adds an added enjoyment. “Frisbee God”. 👍🏼 And I will be quoting you, “We’re after character, not precision”. Brilliant. Many thanks Paul.

Your sharing is so good. The picture is so beautiful and lovely. Your details are so sharp. Beautiful painting. Amazing !😍😍💗

What a masterpiece Paul!

New to your channel, followed you from Jenna Rainey's suggestion. I can't wait to learn more. Wisteria is a favorite of mine! Growing up in Wilmington, NC and the beaches here, Wisteria is everywhere along with Spanish Moss!

Really like this!! Love wisteria!!

Simply gorgeous!

Thank you very much for these amazing tutorials! As I'm a self-taught, your advice and hints are very appreciated! And you use very beautiful music which makes very nice and inspiring atmosphere in your tutorials. Thank you for everything.

I always look forward to wednesdays, but last night, with the (latest ) horror here in the U.S. keeping me awake, it was a sanity-saver. Thank you.

Oh man Paul, that is an awesome painting dude! yeah man you knocked this one right out of the park!

This came out making the place look more inviting and romantic than it appeared in the photo. Perhaps they'd pay you well to use it in their advertising. Good technique: masking fluid over the purple to preserve the brilliance of the flowers. Thanks, as always🙋🏼‍♀️🌿

I love the wisteria I want to try this next. I want to tell you that I received your book today and I love it, I was in the middle of the blue door and was excited to find the tutorial in the book. Thanks for all you do! 😘

The combination of music, beautiful images and amazing talent transported me to another world. It was wondeful!

That is so great. Thank you! Greetings from Germany Reni

thank you Paul your painting makes my Wednesday 🌹👍

love wisteria

Im all caught up with your videos now, and they are still gems as always. Thanks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really great work on the purples and use of m fluids - fabulous end results

Thank you so much for not one but two Tutorials this week Paul. Especially loved the mini film on location. You really do bring the other side of the world into my home. Wonderful wisteria is a favorite of mine, thank you for always sharing your skills and adventures. Take good care & happy painting 🌿

What Fun ! The playful loose style is exactly what I needed. Its easy to let the expectations of others ( esp those we love and care for ) and even worse the expectations I put on myself put a screeching halt to my paintings. I have noticed fun exercises like the loose vs tight example you provided , go a long way toward getting me back in the groove. Each video is packed with great tips and info to help us improve and grow during our watercolor journey. For example, the section of "real time" showed your careful and seemingly deliberate single stroke of the paint brush to paper even in this loose relaxed style of painting. Your hand and brush were easily visible as you touched paint brush to paper. Sometimes in a sped up version, while they are also very useful, it can deceptively look like you are dabbing all over the place ( lol ) in a back and forth over and over motion but in reality you are painting a single stroke, not a back and forth motion over and over the same area. Being able to clearly see your hand and brush tip in real time allows us to see exactly how you are painting. This is so helpful to a new to watercolor artist like me. This is just one small examples of the information that can be gained by watching your videos, and the excellent way you present how you paint. Thank you for taking time to do these and share your talent with all of us. Thank you so much for every video .

Thanks again Paul for another great video today. I’m forever grateful for your assistance in making painting seem possible. Can’t wait to splash about!

I love that picture; I will definitely try this one. I'm jealous of your wisteria, I've had one for 10 years that's huge, and it didn't flower once. Thanks for painting it.

Amazing, amazing and amazing!!!!! 👍

Wonderful tutorial Paul! And two gorgeous paintings to try - thank you so much for sharing your skills with us all. Also, congrats on getting your wisteria to bloom - it can be so stubborn! 😊

Thank you! Lots to learn on this beautiful painting. ❤️

Superb work Paul! You make watercolors seem so easy. Thank you for sharing!

I always look forward to Wednesday when I get to see your painting demos. I may not be able to try all of them but I enjoy watching process. :)

Really enjoyed this one Paul.

Thank You so much Mr. Clark!!!!!!!!!

Oh Paul, I really like this. It is so beautiful.

Lucky you, your gardens, your flowers. You have a admirable life from my observation. My name is same so love to see you sign. I am stuck in California longing to return to my English/Welsh roots. Maybe baby some day, I tell myself. Painting is my traveling these days. Learn a lot from you. thanks

You are amazing, 2 tutorials for us today! I love wisteria thank you so much for sharing this with us. I can’t believe 50% not subscribed, I subscribed after I saw your first video! Cheers Paul, I will work hard to do justice to these paintings.

had to add a comment. Really lovely and wonderful instructions. Thank You and your wife for this great video! Happy summer from NH. (usa)

Fabulous! Paul makes it look easy but I know from experience it isn't!

To tell the truth, the wisteria have already withered in the south of France... but it is a pleasure to see them again through this very pretty watercolor. Thank you for all the tips we learn from you...And so disappointed not to be able to take part in these artistic retreats...

I really love that you add the pastel and guoach at the end! So exciting to see what that brings to the overall painting. Thank you!

Thanks Paul, a great tutorial, I am going to give it a try for sure! and I 'd say that the statue is a discobol, a 'disc thrower' , meaning a greek athlete...

The splattering cracks me up.. That hotel is amazing!!

So beautiful, I'm new to watercolour painting and hope that one day I will be able to produce something so lovely, your painting is amazing and I love to watch your vidios.

Thank you Paul, I'm looking forward to trying this tutorial, it's going to be a very fun challenge!

Thanks again Paul.

Enjoy your tutorials new to your channel so much helpful hints and so fun

Thank you so much for sharing your obvious extensive knowledge. I loved the tutorial. 😊

I love how you can paint everything in more loose and simple way. Normally I would hesitate to try this beautiful scene

What 50% aren’t subscribed? I would subscribe just for the positive happy feeling you project even without the great teaching you do.

Gorgeous as ever

Marvellous painting

Brilliant tutorial. I love how you showed two completely different styles and I also liked the part about the hotel. It was interesting to see and it seems definitely worth signing up to one of these future events!

Hey Paul, Watercolor Wednesday is my addiction.. which help me tackle the whole week. This painting is mesmerising , your voice, choice of music, editing n teaching style.. just awesome. Thank you again.. I know , I almost commented on every tutorial. And you deserve to get our love and respect. You made my life beautiful.. thank you thank you again 🙏

Delightful Paul - thankyou so much for sharing 😄

Adding in the real time segments helps to see how you are actually doing those brush strokes

Lovely! I had this on in the background and kept thinking man, Paul is sounding tired or sick. I finally thought to check the playback speed. I had slowed it down at some point in order to follow along and forgot about it.

Thank you, a lovely scene

So inspiring…must get out and paint🤗

Absolutey gorgeous 😍❤! Again😉!

Fantastique, je vais l’essayer. J’ai particulièrement adoré cette vidéo. J’attends toujours avec impatience ce moment de la semaine où je pourrai apprendre un peu plus grâce à vos vidéos. Merci encore!

You really spoil us with two wonderful paintings in one tutorial. Thank you so much! And now I will try my best and give it a go 🙃

Paul youre Wonderful!!!. Im learning!!!

One day when I'm all grown up, I'm going with one of your tours/retreats! (I'm 60 - haha)

Lovely as usual - so pretty! Love your tips, advice and style!

Glad that youre fine now😊

Thanks for changing my $ to American Currency. Wish you had sent me a note. Just happened to check it. Thanks for all you do. Barbara

Hi Paul: Your first video of real life outdoor beauty was gorgeous! I don’t always have time to paint, but I watch your videos until the end. Love both techniques. You’re so generous with your time to teach. Thank you so much. 💜😎🇺🇸

This is so gorgeous and with all the features ok almost 😅. I truly glued to my screen as not to miss out. Thank you for another astounding tutorial. Even if I skip some of your steps, it still looks very pretty. All my paintings done after your tutorials look beautiful and apart

Gorgeous!

How gorgeous! Thank you so much!

Magnifique!

Quelle merveille!!! Merci🙏🙏

Too good sir another challenging painting after Kashmir.We did tht with some fiddling will take this also . thankyou so much .

Lovely painting, thank you!

How beautiful

Wonderful painting again. Wow those grounds are gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

It's making me happy. Thankfull for you.

Beautiful as always. The little tour of the area was a joy to watch. Thank you for taking the time to give us both a loose and tight way to paint.

Thank you very much for the painting demo. Loved the introduction video of the beautiful resort

Wauw wauw wauw!!! ❤️🍀

Wow...Ich bin sprachlos, das ist so wunderschön! Ich liebe solche Gemälde. 😍 Vielen Dank, Paul! 😊

Wow beautiful, can't wait to have time to try it ! Thank you so much !

both are beautiful!

Beautiful!

I cannot decide which of your styles here I like more! I guess I have to settle with this...they both have such unique beauty and character that I just love them both for different reasons. Thank you, sir!

Most enjoyable! It's beautiful!

Thank you so much for this. My week has been tough so this was much needed. Gorgeous!

Good to watch

Really lovely painting Paul. Love the windows- the light hitting.. some of the simplest strokes are the most beautiful. The touches of gouache at end - stunning. The mailbox on front door ..beautifully simple touch. Your humor re the Greek frisbee thrower is an added treat why i watch each week & your beverage selection on break.. hilarious 😆. You are quite a unique human being. Thank you for continuing to inspire us out here. Cheers from California! 👋
