Loved it!! Thank You!!

You are so welcome!

❤ I love these short exercises so much. Thank you dear Paul! They don’t take up so much time and still develop painting skills and there is a lot less pressure! Especially when you’re not an advanced student. Bless you.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you like them!

[@virginiahoose9242]

You make everything so simple. I love your tutorials. I watch others painting similar pictures and get discouraged by their complexity. Then I go to your tutorial and think “I can do this!” You’re an absolutely wonderful teacher. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.😊

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Lovely comment - thanks so much!

[@anyahall5011]

Amazing! To say that this is helpful is to say nothing! So enjoyable! You are such a talented teacher! The best!

Wow, thank you!

[@bettystychno5723]

Hurrah! All of these subjects are ones that I’ve been longing to practice! Thank you for these basic tutorials! More like these please! I always look forward to your instructional videos!

Yay! I just woke up early, Good morning Paul from across the pond in Woodinville, Washington state. I'm so happy to see this. I love you and your lovely Margo. You are both so talented 💖 Thank you for always bringing us lessons and inspiring us. I hope to join you both on a future retreat.

[@MrsBarnabas]

Paul, I soo needed this! I've just come back from about an hour in the car, with my bumbag kit, -doing- attempting to do an A6 (6" x 4") watercolour landscape with a moody sky. I used to do masses of such landscapes, because where I lived in the UK was fenland or Wolds and huge skies of all moods.... _Attempting_ do it is the true version. For some very strong reasons, including the massive move from the UK to France, just post-Brexit referendum, and all the financial challenges that brought, it is several years since I did a plein air landscape, and I struggled. Really struggled. Really, really struggled. Basic drawing, colour mixing (shock!!!), drawing trees, with my _small_ kit? Where has my skill gone!!!! The painting is ok, but ... So to come back and watch the third part of this video was exactly what was needed. I'm in the throes of a very big craft project for our church here, so my own art isn't actually on the agenda, except for teaching (which is currently not landscape), but I'm putting this one and your previous 10 minute video, in my "Painting hints, tips and just plain comment sense' folder to use again in a month or so, to do some serious revision alongside the exercises I usually do with my students. I certainly need it! Thank you! 😊

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great comment and thanks for sharing - All the best!

[@elizabethstrouth4958]

I'm behind on these .. this one was great. I have to try this one and I really appreciate this tutorial.

Your clouds are so inspiring. Who would of thought to start painting with yellows and purples. I normally start with blue and dab out the clouds with a tissue. I’m definitely sharing this video with my students.

[@alisonclarke3331]

Great really helpful. I am getting the hang of skies but still find painting water very difficult. I usually find it’s not dark enough. It would be great if any future tutorials could focus on different interpretations of water? Sea, river rough smooth etc. Really like the 20 min format too. Thank you so much for giving up your time for us aspiring artists!

@@ArtbyPaulClark Thank you dear Paul for the answer! I watched your video, I really liked the second episode - a withered tree and the third episode with the silhouette of the island and a ray of light through the clouds of a gray overcast sky. Very impressive! I especially liked the tree very much, how the photo is all accurately drawn! I did not expect that a simple watercolor can be painted like that!

[@barbarawilliams7012]

Have just found your tutorials and been binging until my new supplies arrive. You have some really helpful stuff, very clear explanations (plus a cheery manner to brighten our day). Only one thing missing - I have not yet heard if your paper is flat or sloping, it’s not clear from your video either. Paper angle is really important when using wet washes and could be a reason beginners struggle to achieve the effects that you do. I’m sure you will have mentioned it in a ‘basics’ video but KZbin doesn’t organise the order for us so we don’t see it. Not really a complaint, I love what you do, but perhaps just mention ‘this is xxxxxxxx paper and at a xx degree angle’ would help. Keep up the good work!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks - glad you enjoyed it and a BIG welcome!

[@nancyballard8666]

I am self-taught with help from you and others on KZbin. I make cards and glue my pictures on the front for birthday cards for my grandchildren and other family and friends. They are all great practice for me, and my grandchildren are framing their cards for their room. I let them tell me what to paint. Some are total failures, so I start over, but I still learn from them while I develop my style. Try painting a snake chewing bubble gum. I had him blowing a bubble. 😂 I am having fun with it.

[@soupguru1]

I love these 3 quick tutorials with the reminder that it is so important to practice skills without the goal of producing a framable painting. I have been in a painting slump for a bit. I think this is just what I need to get my painting mojo back. Thank you!

I enjoyed this tutorial very much. It’s very challenging to learn how much water on the paper and the consistency of paint and water in the brush. You got it so perfect! Not too wet, the paint did not run too much and no cauliflowers forming, yet your paper stayed wet right through to the finish. You inspire me! Kathy from Toronto, Ontario

Beautiful! Thank you Paul! Just a question, you used the pastel cream pencil to draw some branches, will it come off the painting over time? Do we need to spray some fixatives to lock the pastel mark in place?

[@jeanunderhill3868]

Thank you for sharing Paul. On my list to practise.

[@lindyhawthorne2164]

Im wondering when and why you chose to use a flat brush instead of a round ??. Also is it a special watercolour flat brush or any flat brush is ok for watercolour, this confuses me. TIA

[@deborahgoodwin3426]

As always, another Wonderful Watercolor Wednesday! This is just exactly what I needed today, since I am fairly certain that whatever I paint today is highly unlikely to be hung in our local art gallery (although, one can always hope). Better yet that I put to practice these wonderful techniques as you so masterfully demonstrate. I must confess that I am most looking forward to playing with the clouds and I am extremely excited to put the two incredible touches to the water reflection painting. I will definitely bear in mind that these 'are totally in the hands of the watercolor gods'! And should they not first succeed, I shall toss fate to the wind and give it another go (or more 😂). Thanks ever so much for generously sharing your incredible time, teaching and talent. 👩‍🦳🖌️

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you Deborah for your lovely comment!

[@thesvictory]

I am so grateful that week after week you take the time to teach me watercolor.

I’ve used 300 Lb cotton paper by Arches but I find it very difficult to lift (or imposible). What am I doing wrong? It’s stays wet longer so I don’t understand why lifting is challenging.

Cotton paper will always be more difficult to lift

Hi Paul. I am new to the channel and I want to say thank you. Your teaching is amazing and easy to follow. As an artist, watercolor for me is my primary medium, but I am still uncomfortable with it. Learning about techniques and applying them with these exercises has been the door I needed to become comfortable with watercolors. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and experience.

[@rona7763]

Just found you after a friend's recommendation (we've just started watercolour painting class). I'm looking forward to watching every one of your tutorials. Thank you so much for sharing your teaching. 😃

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear ... and a big welcome Rona!

[@RaeGriffith-zd1oy]

Hi Paul, What is your opinion on the need to stretch 300gsm/140lb watercolour paper that is NOT on a block? I have been using Arches, Saunders Waterford and Canson papers without stretching (taped to the board of course) with quite decent results. Some say stretching is a must, others say it is not necessary for papers of this weight. I am confused. Or should I simply take the easy way out and buy the papers on a block, even though this is more expensive? Thank you so much. Rae

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi Rae - It does depend on the type of subjects you paint and your budget. If you paint a lot of big landscapes with large watery washes then you will get some issues with 'buckling' even with 140lb paper - which can be frustrating. With larger paper, 11" x 14" and above this will even become more of a problem. So, yes I would stretch my paper if this is the case ... but because I paint a lot using paper daily I go for the block or thicker paper option. .. life's too short!!!

[@gayatrikhanchandani9825]

Wow, absolutely loved this tutorial...you made it so easy, it appears doable for me...and thanks for giving exact colour mix guidline..so very helpful ❤

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Awesome, thank you!

[@sherrieleslie7478]

Thank you Paul. I was ready to give up with watercolor. I have been painting for a year. In a stuck stage. You're videos are peaceful and easier to follow. Two questions: not sure on when to add color to the paintings...very wet, and semi-wet (not clear to me). Also, do you do portrait, too? Your extra techniques are so helpful. Thank you so much. It's giving me hope to continue.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

[@timkase7283]

You seem to use Payne's Grey as your dark tone which I also use. It seems to have a blue tint in it? When it comes in contact with a yellow, it can make a green. Not good in the sky! I just started using Neutral Tint (Winsor & Newton). Have you ever used it? Why do you prefer Payne's Grey? Love your tutorials. I'm working my way thru them and learning a lot. I paint six days a week and am making good progress. Soon I'll start using my travel phots to "go it alone". Thanks so much professor!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

I like the slightly blue tint in PG - is you don't use too many brush strokes you should not get a green, especially if you use with more opaque colours like Yellow Ochre.

[@MagdalenaFelkel-lu9gl]

Like your technique and learnt a lot by watching and trying out. You use the end of the paintbrush for adding depth - do you buy them like that or did you sharpen it?

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

I sharpen them 😁👍

Hi Paul. Living Down Under I have no chance of attending one of your classes in person so these tutorials are great. I am having trouble though with exercises which recommend "dropping in a blob of clean water". I still get a hard edge around the area which has been "blobbed" and not the fuzzy edge I am seeking. And yes, I do it while the paper is still damp. Do the Water Gods not like me? Rae

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

mmmm, interesting Rae, not sure I can tell without watching you do it and knowing what materials you use. Try it on some different papers and see what happens.

It’s a stone wall in a park where we use to play as kids. I don’t go on FB very often anymore, not sure if you use that. Also, glad to see you using your three paints for this sky that you talked about the other day.

Hi Paul, I really liked the tree and the water. Could I ask a non-related question? I have a pallet of half pans and can really see the advantage of using from the tube. Is it possible to grind down half pans to create a consistency like the tubes or is that a bad idea?

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

....mmm.... bad idea me thinks! you won't be able to create the gooey consistency of tube paint.

[@johncspine2787]

I was noticing the dark parts underneath clouds today, how near they blend up into the whiter parts, and at the edge farthest away, the edge is sharper, flatter to the horizon, and sometimes darker due to the angle and seeing the same color but as it flattens and recedes away it compounds..nothing earth shattering, just an observation..great job!

Thanks for the comment John!

"Ivy growing on trees is often thought to be a serious problem, endangering the health of even very large trees. However, its presence on the trunk is not damaging and where it grows into the crown this is usually only because the trees are already in decline or are diseased and slowly dying."

Paul what type of hairs or synthetic is your rigger made of. You make the branches look so simple. Looks like it has a lot of spring but holds a good amount of paint. As always great work.

Hiya and thanks - yes they are very 'snappy' - made from 'Prolene' which is totally synthetic

Thanks for the ''3 Landscape Practices'' dear Paul, I've learned much and enjoyed watching... I admire your technic in general and especially Yellow ochra 's , Cadmium blue's and Payne's gray 's usage tips in watercolor .These short exercises are very helpful because I am not an advanced student yet .So , I am looking forward to practice new ones,thank you....

Paul in the water painting do you think the back run on the left was necessary? Looking at it again it competes with the sun and light on the right. And what is lighting it? You always teach composition also, wondering if you did it over would you do it?

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

No I'm quite happy with it but this was mainly an exercise rather than a finished composed painting.
