One of my favorite painting subjects beaches with seagulls & sailboats!! Thanks so much for the funny seagulls too!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you like them Colleen!

[@carolstefan7662]

You sure do know how to make things come to life in your paintings. I could even hear the seagulls!!!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks for that Carol!!!

[@ljubatartaglia7166]

Nisam vidjela ljepšeg neba, predivno more i bjelina valova a tek mrvica crvene boje.Moj favorit. Očaravajuće.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much - will do!

[@josephcollins6033]

"...hampster with wings..." You throw those out when I least expect it; then I am hysterical and have to rewind! Please keep it up. And, thanks for loving bees!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Always!

[@DutchCreekRanch1]

You make my day. And thank you everyone for all of the seagulls at the end. I loved them.

Sharon from Canada here, wanted to say I just found your KZbin channel and I think it is amazing.

You are such a talented painter and I can’t wait to do more with you

Good evening sir. You just made my day as I was thinking to request you humbly to show me how to make sky and here I m blessed to have one from your side. No words to describe your style so simple to look at yet so difficult to copy. Your style is creating illusion of being easy but but so stylish n wooven in ur attire . No one can copy you. Yet another splendid tutorial

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are most welcome

[@DSmith-pc9jn]

The sky is so beautiful in this painting.

Paul, You certainly are an inspiration for those, like me, who are novices to watercolour. I'm a late starter at the age of 74, but I'm loving your tuition videos.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear Gerald

[@chriserica73]

[@donnacarraway9182]

Loved the video!! The great thing about painting tutes is that they are just as relevant today as when they were created a year ago! The cartoon pics were awesome and priceless! I thought that you were teaching beginners but those people have talent and your fun sense of humor is definitely catching on and loved! Thank you to you and your wife too, as I know that she is supporting your crazy but awesome art all the way! A great duo!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much Donna - much appreciated!

[@suemciver636]

Wow again. Your tutorials are just great. Your paintings are even better. You are an amazing artist and have the ability to teach well also. Thanks again for a great tutorial.

Absolutely fabulous!!!! Magic just flows from your brush ♥️♥️♥️

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@waymire01]

Oooh... I love the contrast with the sharp edged and soft clouds.. I've done one or the other but not both at the same time. It really gives that layered look with the clouds stacked up.

[@sabineleppanenart3014]

I agree. It’s exquisite.😲

Thank you so much 😀

[@Rolucchesi1]

You are the Best. I lov your tutorial. Thank you.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wow, thank you!

[@robertcook2572]

A LOT of skill, here. Not one for the faint-hearted, I reckon. Being extremely faint-hearted I think I'll carry on practising the basics, with your guidance...

[@cherrysimmonds5836]

I'm a beginner Robert but thought this one do-able

[@pathayes6084]

Please give this a try, Robert. We all need to stretch out of our comfort zone and I am always surprised at what I can do. If you are not sure of sketching the boats or people leave them out and practice on some scrap paper. You never know until you try!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You can do it Robert!

[@philipdown3147]

Thanks Paul for sharing and calmly explained how you've achieved amazing images colours depth and detail, enjoyed the video as always which inspire others how to create a seascape scene. Thanks greatly appreciated stay safe

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it

This was the best ever sky and water tutorial! Those wisteria sure would be a great subject for a painting too! Buzz it over in your mind 😄

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great suggestion! ... thanks Laura!

[@AnglimK1]

You made Mr. Watson proud. I can just hear the rushing water over the rocks.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks!

[@seydagoksu9649]

Great lesson thank you very much Lots of love from Türkiye

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! 😃

[@colliecoform4854]

This scene reminded me of how much enjoyment I found in watercolors. Since finding your channel I have ordered some new paint supplies as it is much to hot here in New York to be looking for boxes in the attic. I stopped painting because of some physical ailments but have decided to give it another try. Tremors can be rogue waves and twitches suicidal seagulls. It has been several years but I'm hoping I can fall back into it. Once it cools off I will be getting out my old sketches just as a refresher. Thanks for getting me started again.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

That's great to hear - many thanks!!!

[@cherrysimmonds5836]

Great tutorial Paul especially love the sky. Very witty seagulls 🤣😍🍒

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@annettefournier9655]

Thanks Paul. This will take me a week. Last day of school for the kids tomorrow...Maybe it will take 2 weeks.😉🥴

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Have fun!

[@lindayoungartist]

The facebook group seagulls are terrific. They made me laugh And I relate to the way you paint the seascape and shoreline. Thank you

[@ArtbyPaulClark]
