Whenever i got stuck with doing water reflection, i come back to view this tutorial. Thanks Paul. This tutorial is simply amazing.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Happy to help!

[@cargolina2]

Another wednesday with another great tutorial. Thanks so much Paul.

[@Pleiadian8]

You are aesthetically so rich and inspiring ✨️ Namaste 🙏

[@bettyye977]

Thank you so much, Paul! The water reflection looks beautiful and real.Two Thumbs up.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are very welcome Betty!

[@jerryeby3386]

This is my kind of landscape, simply grand. Thanks Paul, you're the best.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@susancarlson5283]

Adding a section painted in real time is SO helpful. It’s been a revelation. Watching so many KZbin tutorials that are sped up, new painters get the idea that we should be quickly flinging paint at the paper like an artiste. Real time videos show that there is actually time and thought between brush strokes. Thank you.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad it helped Susan

[@nancydb1390]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@shawnas464]

Yes! And adding the time it took to paint at the end helps too

[@juliecampbell4909]

Know this is from a while ago but I completely agree - real time sections have literally helped me not give up entirely. I cannot mix colours that quickly (to my satisfaction) yet sometimes even - and I'm a year in!

[@mariapla2427]

Thanks for the real time section on the video¡This highlights the importance of thinking before any single brush stroke, especially to simplify the scene¡ So helpful

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You're very welcome!

[@poppyburns3807]

WOW. Love the pep talk, love the real time. Really wonderful , thanks again for yet another great video.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much Poppy! 😊

[@vimim5088]

Remembered the great sufi poet Amir Khusrau's couplet who described Kashmir as a paradise on earth!! so breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you much much Paul😊

[@meenakshijarvis7808]

So thrilled to see Kashmir in your painting...for us Indians this place is heaven on earth and rightly so...thank you Paul for this beautiful rendiiton

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure ... thanks for watching!

[@sunitaparr1797]

Just want to tell a great thanks, I am an Indian live in UK.so nice to see this beautiful painting ,love to see all the details. So simplified. You make it look so easy. Love the music .Thank you .

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀 - delighted to help!

[@DrCarolFrancis]

Your detailing never seems to distract from the free flow. That is fascinating to me.

[@dineshchadha2032]

Thanks for a masterclass in simplifying, yet producing a painting that brings back memories of Kashmir I visited 40 years back.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wonderful

[@jcmdupond6510]

[@bowercreates2999]

I'm not a painter but I like to have something playing in the background while I work on the computer, these videos are great for that background.

[@shreepadkadam8768]

Thank you Paul for Beautiful Artwork, Love & Respect from India to all the lovely & kind people watching this video. Thanks.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

So nice of you - thanks!

[@Klecksfabrik]

Showing us how to simplify detail was exactly what I needed to see! I always tend to overcomplicate. Fabulous and so impressive! Thank you!

[@namratashah9888]

Thrilled to see this and can't wait to paint it! ❤️ I have been learning a whole lot from your tutorials since October last year. Can't thank you enough for all that you do for watercolor newbees like me. :)

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome!

[@lissybaer1976]

It was challenging, but so much fun! Thanks for another great tutorial. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it Tim!

[@gordonwyatt6819]

Thanks Paul, the way you explain your color mixing, combined with a limited palette, is very useful. Particularly as I struggle with both. Added to all that is the lovely finished painting. Absolutely magnificent!

[@amitm3]

Thank you Paul for honoring us Indian followers of yours. India is a goldmine as far as landscapes are concerned. I loved the background score as well.... and the painting is beautiful as ever. Love from India Paul ...many thanks!!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

So nice of you Amit - many thanks!

[@ramkrishnaswami5347]

Bonjour Paul grâce à vous nous voyageons au travers de vos aquarelles. Merci pour ce magnifique tuto comme toujours. Bye

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Merci aussi Florence!

[@kimberlyhossack6788]

Paul your 6th sense of where to smudge this and highlight that is just amazing. I do feel a bit more of that when I draw something of my own but I’m still envious of your instincts with the brush. Thanks for always inspiring the journey to improve. Have a great day!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks for sharing Kimberly!

[@1955Puru]

Thanks it is wonderful to watch you unfold this scenery with a perfect background music. I will certainly give it go 🙏

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Have fun!

Wow!

[@mrinalvermachakraborti2516]

Paul you are awesome.last year i spent few days in dal lake.this mysterious lake you made it alive with background Indian classical music and of course darjiling tea. Hat's off ❤❤❤.soon i will post my work in fb group

[@elizabethstrouth4958]

Thank you for the demonstration. I tried to follow along with my watercolor.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear!

[@nancyputz3037]

It may seem complicated at first glance but you do a wonderful job of breaking it down .It is also good that you are nudging us all toward a more detailed picture so that our skills will grow. Thank you!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome

[@shrutianuragsharma2824]

Thank you so much for taking up an Indian landscape this time. Had been waiting for it for quite sometime. The attention you and Margot pay to details is highly appreciated, like an Indian classical music in the background, Darjeeling tea for the break ( you didn't like it thats another thing :), Indian motifs on your T-shirt and the coasters in the opening screen introducing the palette and brushes and yes the little white flowers. Indian is a vast country with immense diversity. In this video you integrated north (Dal Lake), south (music), east (tea), west (graphics) together :)

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear ... thanks for noticing the detail!

[@salemhailu11-11]

You nailed it as always! Beautiful!

[@beagilbert9296]

Thanks Paul!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Very kind - thanks so much!

[@dipteshg123]

Once again, thank you so much for your lessons. Loved the composition as usual and the easy narrative. And seeing an Indian theme was a bonus! Thank you.

[@pamelaperry7494]

Really loved this atmospheric tutorial. You’re such an inspirational teacher, Paul. Many thanks as always.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rahuldutt8134]

Loved it Paul! I will try this one in line and wash!

[@aprathap5320]

Amazing. Thank you very much Paul for the very useful hints and tips - I have learnt so much from your videos over the last year or so. Sending you much love from India. ❤

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear!

[@kmorgan6890]

Many thanks….Beautiful😍

[@donnazwicker2364]
