Dear Paul, my husband calls you Paulie.…(like a close friend). He’s of Italian heritage. Need l say more? Anyway we LOVE everything you paint. And you have become very large part of our watercolor journey together. Thank you … we could not have done this without you. You are a treasure! ❤

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much, that's very kind .... say hi to your hubby for me!!

[@nancydavidson4899]

I love that you and your husband are painting together ❤

[@edithtsacle5257]

@@ArtbyPaulClark If I may, I want to "second" that comment by TwinkleBelle27 (except for the "Paulie" part 😉). Hubby and I also eagerly look forward to your weekly painting sessions as we are on a watercolor journey together too in our "old" age... We so admire your great talent! ❤

[@cameroholic67]

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀 that's so nice of you!

[@stampinturtles]

lol “painting from jail” copyright is no joke. I literally was called out by a photographer for using her photo to paint from. All ended well when I gave her credit for the photo. She ended up liking my channel and subscribing. This painting looks beautiful. Makes me want to visit there. I may try painting this one. I’ve been busy with commissions. One that was 4 feet by 2 feet. The biggest I’ve done! Just delivered it yesterday. She cried and was so happy with it. Thank God! Always a blessing when they love the painting. ❤ I’m grateful for you and your channel. You made me fall in love with watercolor. 😊 I pray for you to continue to heal and for God to prosper you and Margot. Much love from Alabama.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much Jacquline - yes, I always try to be as careful as possible with copyright issues ...Great to hear your commission was loved!!!

[@Cecchi8]

[@GretchenBender-zl8nw]

Happy Watercolor Wednesday ! I’m glad you mentioned your colors being different , my greens , burnt umber and yellow ochre always look different, much less vibrant than yours, I just figured it was the lighting ! Thank you always for yet another beautiful tutorial , I love this collection of around the world paintings ! ❤

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks Gretchen, and yes, I'm sure you are right, the lighting can also play a part.

[@auraservent7282]

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much!

[@josephcollins6033]

Beautiful (of course) and peaceful and subtle. With the September trip in my face I'm trying to work most every day. I always do too much--paint, colors, brushes, shapes. Yesterday, I did the Values video- the croft, vase and church. Made myself sketch very quickly. Used ONE color. Thought I was going to have to lie down many times, but I did it. I HAD NO IDEA!!!!! When I looked at them this morning they were good! I loved using one color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, dear man!!!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi J, yes using one colour is a great discipline, we did it today in my local class. ... keep up the good work!

[@camilladido7]

Dear Paul, I’m in love with all of your artworks. I’m also in love with Scotland even though I’ve never been there, but I feel myself delle deeply connected with those places and I don’t know why. I love to paint Scottish landscape as well and I’m learning a lot watching your tutorial. Thank you so much. Cheers from Italy

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@KathleenMcKinstry]

This was another wonderful painting, thank you Paul for making all these videos for us. They are very much appreciated,and I will repeat myself… you are the best painting teacher on KZbin!!❤

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you like them! - so good of you to say!

[@MG-ot2yr]

Lovely painting! Very inspiring for my Scotland trip in April!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wonderful! - enjoy the trip!

[@soniachahal139]

Absolutely STUNNING Paul. It's beautiful and looks so serene. The beauty of United Kingdom is on our bucket list to explore. Loved the different techniques you showed us. Yellow Ocha definitely looks different. Loved every bit of your tutorial. Thank-you , so much. Can't wait for next week. Nature is most beautiful 💖💖💖 Have a wonderful week Paul. Take Care

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

.. and you, thanks Sonia

[@tjojones]

I love shadows cast from out of the frame of reference. It could be a tree branch hanging over the road or a cloud passing over. Love your work every week. You make my day brighter.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

That's kind - thanks!

[@dianarowny9192]

I love the look of the purple pigment in this! Also, I enjoy seeing the map marking where the scene is located. Thanks!

Hi Paul, Thanks for that gorgeous watercolour. It's absolutely stunning. Keep them coming. I love all your Watercolour Wednesdays, but this one really caught my eye.

[@Mona77401]

Paul, with every tutorial that you teach me, I become more free to pursue subject matter of my own that I want to paint. This is your greatest gift to me. Teaching me enough skills to grow my own wings and fly. Thank you very very much for all that you do to set us free.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear as that's exactly the reason I like doing these tutorials!

Leaving a comment after a couple of months. Missed those Wednesdays for a short span. It is pleasant to have you back with those mesmerizing paintings of the scotish landscape. Well, your uniqueness lie in your ability to exude the mellow beauty of the nature through your paintings. It is so esthatic - how you engrave those elements. Have a great day.......💚

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

... and to you and welcome back!!!
