These beautiful, beautiful shadows... Thank you Paul! At the end - the 'imagined' ocean horizon line in the bright phthalo blue... and the depth creating schooner - it lifts the painting in a whole different category! The magic of art: the painting is so much more beautiful, than the photo!

Oh, Paul, isn't the world just beautiful?! And you are able to catch all this in your paintings. I was so drawn to this one, can really see the most colourful winter, feel the freezing air which makes my breath steam and the bright, crisp, not yet warming sunlight in the morning. I always admire the thoughtful, sophisticated simplicity of your works. You said, you want to finish the tree in the foreground later, so I can't say so much about this one, but the tree in the background triggers strong feelings of trueness in me. This tree (plus the shadows around) has personality, it feels like I remember 'this friend', one of the gnarled old trees I live with, here in the German countryside... This tree expresses for me a very special quality: it is not perfectly groomed, dressed up - instead it has the beauty of simply 'being'. So charming! The same with your 'imagined' house (left side). Every single object (distinguishable form) in your paintings seems to be cherished. I have seen you use these kind of halo-effects (the bushes) often, a genuine phrase of yours? There is of course so much more. All of this makes for me the difference, which makes the difference... I apprechiate so much that you put your process into public! I have the impression you think entirely in contrasts (...but let them serve the mood of the painting). Is that right? Do you still have to think about these basic technical aspects? Which (of the many possible contrasts) you want to choose and combine in a specific painting? It's mastery: you put them together so elegantly, always as simple as possible - never to much - only pure 'necessity'. Beautiful, beautiful painting... Thank you so much Paul! Wish you the best! 👋 Morwen

Hi Paul, I’m new to watching your videos and they are spot on! They’re helping me so much in painting some of the reference pics I took when on vacation at the beautiful Bruce Peninsula, overlooking the turquoise waters from the rugged shores of Georgian Bay, Canada 🍁

Thanks, Paul. This works a treat for me.

Loved the way you painted the clouds (So EASY). Hopefully I can produce something decent. Thanks for the video on KZbin.

Really enjoyed. Thanks so much.

Oh my gosh I need to watch it a million times more !

We just returned home from the 1,000 islands and this is the perfect lesson for what I want to paint. Thank you for sharing your wisdom in such a simple and gentle way.

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now, from up and down and still somehow… This is the most clear explanation of how to paint clouds. Thank you!!!

Such beautiful watercolor clouds. You explain the process well. Thanks for sharing.

❤Enjoy watching you paint ~ Your videos are great!

Thanks, Paul, and greetings from the UK. Your painting and tuition are inspiring.

Tuition is great thankyou

Hi and thank you Paul 😊I tried the technique with some success but I ripped up the paper a bit in my efforts to get the beautiful colors -- my questions is this: What kind of paper are you using: hot or cold pressed ( if either) ? Thank you again for your videos!!

I've just strated to paint .enjoyed alot .thanks a million

❤Beautiful! Thank you so much 😊

That was beautiful! Loved the helpful tips. I look forward to another of your videos.

So beautiful

❤Beautiful!

❤just love watching your watercolor tutorials!! ~ The Best !

Cant' wait to try this! Thanks so much for sharing!

Btw just found an old brush an tried the tree technique. Came out beautiful. Karel here.

Great tips and discussion of your considerations for painting this scene. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Karel here Paul your horse were amazing. I wanted yo paint some horses for a present but wanted to see how you rendered first. I think it's the subject but this was one of my favorite paintings you've did. Watch that big head.

Loved it Sir!

Beauriful ! Your tutorials are so enjoyable to watch -

Great watching you paint ~ easy to follow

This was absolutely helpful, Paul!! Thank you so much!! ❤ Amazing talent and idea! 🙌🏻

I love your style of watercolor painting. Always learning from you. Any chance you can have the camera shoot a larger image (yours is really small on my screen) and make your videos a little longer so we can learn about your brushstroke techniques. Thanks in advance.

Beautiful work. What a great painting. I enjoyed every second watching you paint that.

You are really made for teaching. I enjoy different ways of painting birches. Would you find it easier to mask off your trees first with any different varieties of mask, like tape or masking fluid, or even masking film? I love using different types of masking and just got some fabric adhesive to try out the next time I mask something. You've inspired me to try a birch painting and layer it up like crazy. I love layering. What I don't know is how many layers can good thick paper take? I feel like the paper stops taking layers after a while. Do you know? Thanks for another great video.

I'm so happy I found you to learn from. Newburyport is one of my favorite places to visit and Gloucester and Rockport Mass are my absolute happy places. I live in beautiful Vermont but it has no ocean, which I just love. I just am so happy you paint my places I want to be in and hope to visit again soon. I used to go twice a year every year. Thank you so much for your beautiful art and wonderful videos. I'm so grateful.

Subscribed! It’s such a pleasure watching your complete mastery of watercolor. Bravo! I discovered your channel today and I’ve been working my way through several of your videos. I can’t wait to try out your suggestions. In one of your videos, you incidentally showed how generously you load the brush from your palette, which was great to be able to see. I would vote for more of that palette viewpoint in videos. Anyway, clearly you’re a great painter, and I hope you will continue to upload videos. Thank you, from Martha in Minnesota.

That was masterful. Wow. Just bumped into your channel, and thoroughly enjoyed your technique and the artwork. Plus the sweet comment from your son! Thank you from Minnesota!

Wonderful tutorial! I like your explanations a lot too. Thank you!

Karel here you made it look so easy. Love the tip of breaking it down. Gorgeous painting.

Great little tutorial! Thank you!

Karel here can't wait to try some boats. Loved the painting. Looks like you put reflection in first.

More birch trees please!
