My Top 10 Watercolour Paintings ... and Why!

[@steveh6978]

Merry Christmas to you both. Thank you for your continued gift of giving back to all of us. Thank you for sharing your gift in art and great sense of humor. The world needs more.

[@TheRealLauraB]

Dinner finished. Dishwasher loaded and leftovers put away. Grandkids just left. Hubby settled in to watch football. I pulled out my iPad and plugged in my earbuds. How wonderful to end my busy Christmas Day with your lovely video. Thank you. Just what I needed. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@raja__ojha]

THE 'earth' WITHOUT 'art' IS JUST 'eh' Beautiful statement ❤

[@EWebs2010]

Beautiful paintings. I love the story and memory of your late wife. Love looking through and how life and art changes through the years.

[@simonenugent7874]

Thank you Paul for sharing. I really enjoyed this trip down memory lane; so interesting to see your favorites and why they are. Also loved your backstories. Thank you always for your continued inspiration, generosity, kindness and wonderful sense of humor. ❤ PS the t-shirt is a hoot 😄

[@ZeeCeeCreations]

Lovely, Paul! I do learn so much from you and so appreciate your free tutorials on KZbin, as I’m poor as a church mouse. I know ’thank you’ isn’t enough, but thank you, ever so much!!

[@elainekaegi814]

Such gorgeous paintings! But there is definitely one I love the most... your tribute to Vincent. The man of the millennium ❤ Great kindness for you to provide everyone with your free tutes for such a worthy and enjoyable pastime. I'm new to all this and loving every mess I make! Merry Christmas to you, Paul.

[@hornjan8258]

Dear Paul, That was a very interesting episode. I love the look of the girl with the orange shirt in the dancer picture. Overall, I like number 3 the best because of the nice warm colors.

[@sangeetaiyer9465]

No. 1 is spectacular and beyond belief! Nos. 7, 8 & 9 are my other favourites - especially the luminosity of no. 7. Almost every painting of yours forms a part of my "inspiration" series 😊 A blessed and Merry Christmas to you, Paul, and a warm hug for the loss of your wife.

[@susieday1127]

All so beautiful. I do like the vignettes and the very abstract sketchbook painting. It's probably because I don't have the patience when it comes to painting details. Thank you for sharing.

[@larissahogan6206]

Please consider doing a tutorial on paintings like numbers 5 and 3 that you have shown today. I just purchased your book Watercolour Techniques and Tutorials for the complete beginner. I think you are the best instructor on the web.

[@DreamingFitness]

Thank you for sharing your top 10 and explaining what they mean to you. I have been enjoying your tutorials for several years. I am in Utah, USA. I have spent time in the UK and love it.

[@shirleygreaves9650]

Merry Christmas, love your paintings. My favourite is the one of dancing in France, a really special painting as it holds such precious memories for you. Take care Paul and thank you for giving you time for us. Lots of love. X

[@dearbh1736]

What a lovely treat on Christmas Day. They are all wonderful Paul in different ways and show your versatility as an artist over many years. Hope you have a wonderful day today and all the best to you and Margot for 2025. With love and gratitude from Dearbhla in Ireland. ❤

[@savithriragavan549]

Thank you for sharing these- great video! I love all of them, and they showcase you as a very versatile painter with a unique style that has evolved with time. I’ve seen more of your looser work, but I LOVE the gorgeously detailed French cafe scene and the Annece dancers. Thank you again for your informative videos.

[@jerilychristine1909]

Loved your top 10! Particularly liked Lake Annecy, since I had just been there this JUNE on a watercolor workshop with a friend and instructor from NJ! There were no dancers..but fabulous scenery everywhere. I also lost my spouse in 2016.

[@ruthoneill4221]

I loved this video. Thanks for sharing your art and the memories it brought you of your late wife. Merry Christmas and thanks for all you do.

[@jilld8787]

This video was a delightful trip down your memory lane which included a couple tutorials I have pained along with you. Thank you for your giving nature, excellent talent, and fun sense of humor. Your KZbin tutorials have been monumentally instrumental in helping me build my watercolor skills. You are a splendidly talented and encouraging soul. Thank you so much and I trust that 2025 will be a glorious year for you and those you love. ✌️🥰

[@anamarie8]

All your paintings are so beautiful. It would be impossible for me to choose the top 10 but it's nice that you shared your thoughts. All the best.

[@DorothyCaddell]

Greetings Paul from down under. Thoroughly enjoyed viewing your choice of paintings and thank you for sharing such tender memories connected to them. Hope you, Margot & family enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Day 🎄

[@4chencookie1]

I am always in awe of your paintings. You are like a magician. Your paintbrush is your wand that you wave over the paper, and all of a sudden, it is a beautiful watercolor painting. You're an absolutely amazing teacher when it comes to you tutorials. Cheers to you, Paul! Have a healthy and prosperous 2025!

[@TraceyZambrotta]

Thank you Paul. Love how your style evolved over the years. All were beautiful. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and looking forward to another year of painting with you

[@predragdjokicartist6627]

Scotish painting with boats is my favourite ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love all of your art but that one is in my heart and soul..❤❤

[@cherylhelie933]

Merry Christmas!! Thank you for sharing! As artists, we are often extremely critical of our work, and don't take the time or effort to praise ourselves! Your work is amazing, and i look forward to each of your videos! One of my favorite KZbin artists, Art by Heather, is a favorite because she laughs at herself, and she shares what she likes about each of her creations rather visit than picking each one apart. I've started adopting this philosophy into my own practice, even when I paint a mess!! It keeps the joy in the process!

[@araceligonzalezgarcia6934]

Absolutely gorgeous, all of them, but your number two is magical, I adore it. Marry Christmas to you and your family!

[@raylenegilmore4832]

Merry Christmas Paul☃️🎅🌲 Interesting to see the different styles and changes in your art. Thanks for sharing.😊

[@dianerixom4036]

Thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge with us. I really look forward to Wednesday to see what’s new and I LOVE your style of painting. Best wishes to you both and long may you continue xx

[@cajsheen2594]

Thankyou, a Xmas day treat, all the more enjoyable for being unexpected! Lovely to remember your first wife and how lucky you were to find your Margot! Looking forward to Watercolour Wednesdays 2025! ❤ XXX

[@veredcc]

Dear Paul, what a wonderful video! with wonderful paintings! Your paintings present so much beauty and are very touching. The way you spoke about your late wife was deeply moving. Thank you for sharing your art and being so inspiring. Looking forward to the next art retreat with you and Margot.

[@dorothyfrank3611]

Thanks for sharing! I've been hoping to see that painting that hangs behind you. Condolences about your wife, I'm glad you have good memories and a wonderful painting to go along. Merry Christmas

[@helanna9843]

Merry Christmas. Thanks for all of the videos you have given us.

[@2112Dahlia]

Hi Paul, all are awesome. My favorite is the one on your wall, always wanted to see it up close, it's beautifuuul! But what I like the most is your sense of humor. You always put a smile on my face

[@Simplycharlotte-s]

I’ve been following you since 2020 and started painting in lockdown following your tutorials. I stopped painting, lack of confidence, but I’m going to dust off the brushes and start again. Thank you and I wish you and Margot a happy new year.

[@anuradhaagrawal8283]

Merry Christmas to Paul and Margo…. Thanks a lot for your lessons… huge respect and love for all of them….😊 wishing you both loads of colours of health and happiness and craziness always

[@GerlofvanDriel]

Merry Christmas Paul & Margot. Thanks for the great tutorials in the (almost) past year. I'm looking forward to the new tutorials in 2025. You showed us your 10 top paintings. For me, it was the little child, watching over the sea (orange shirt ans blue jeans). I painted it, framed it and it is still hanging on the wall. Thank you so much!

[@charlenerandolph2596]

I enjoyed this video so much. Even though it's Christmas, I found a few moments to watch and enjoy with a cup of coffee.

[@karenleblanc8913]

Thank you Paul for all your wonderful tutorials. Your paintings are all so lovely. You inspire me to paint more loosely.

[@mariaeadie9861]

Merry Christmas Paul and thank you for sharing your gift. Your videos had been helping me a lot, I also enjoy your sense of humor. Thank you again.

[@nyuuuchan]

All of them are so beautiful! My favourite is definitely no. 2 💜 it feels like home. Your talent never ceases to amaze me!

[@solangecaramagna6776]

Merci beaucoup Paul Clark pour ce partage intime. Et merci pour vos tutos, ils sont formidables 🥰👍Portez-vous bien ! J'ai offert la vache et le veau à mon père pour Noël. Il était ravi 💝 !!

[@ellengreenlund3905]

I enjoyed studying the different techniques you used in this great variety of paintings. I love your use of color and textural techniques along with the way you present the light. I plan to watch this one again to try some of them myself. I’m so very sorry about the loss of your dear Margot. Thank you for sharing that and some of the paintings of places you enjoyed together. Wishing you all the best and more time to create art in the New Year!❤️

[@valericaskey2540]

I’m quite grateful you took the time to share your favorites. Thanks so much! Incredible paintings!

[@Patty-h7s]

Thank you Paul for giving me confidence to not fear watercolor. All of your work is amazing! Merry Christmas from across the pond!

[@lornawilbore106]

Thank you for sharing your top 10 favourites with us and all your wonderful tutorials throughout this past year. Looking forward to sharing more of them in 2025.

[@julieboyle170]

Thank you for sharing your paintings. Some of them I actually remember you doing in your tutorials. I didn't realise just how far back it was when I started following you on KZbin. Your book and brushes are always at arm's reach.

[@charlottepierce6483]

Thanks so much for the tour of your work. I watch regularly from Ohio USA.

[@emmaengstrom4969]

Thank you for sharing your painting and your feelings about them ❤

[@Sherlock2022]

I jokingly said I was looking forward to Watercolour Wednesday today in the group. Little did I realise that there would be a new video. I like the paintings you featured, I keep striving for details in my work, but it just goes to show that that’s not always that matters. Merry Christmas to you and Margot. (Dave).

[@lorraineclark7771]

Happy Christmas to you, Paul and family. Thank you so much for sharing. My favorites were 2, 3 and 5 as well as Golant, Cornwall.

[@vickiarn]

Thanks for sharing your favorite paintings. I love them all, but if I had to choose my favorite, I'd pick the one you did before you lost your wife to cancer. I lost my first husband to cancer as well, it sucks. That painting will bring back great memories. Thanks again for a great year of entertainment and learning.

[@DrCarolFrancis]

Oh this is cool! So great to see your favorites, why and when. Lovely. And Happy Holidays to you and Margot! Thanks for a fabulous art training year~ yet again.

[@johnnyviard1617]

Love 9 as it reflects what more than anything watercolor... and what makes me fell in love with this medium.

[@stevebromp9225]

Inspirational as ever , art and motivation over the last few years . Thank you Paul.

[@juancarlosmansilla9823]

Hermosas manchas !!!! Me encanto la de Van Gogh !!!! Todas espectaculares felicitaciones y felices fiestas!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@lora9664]

Such wonderful paintings and memories. Happy Christmas. The cafe painting is my favorite but they are all great!

[@ivi122]

My favorite ones are 3, 9, 10. They’re absolutely GORGEOUS

[@papatya9964]

Merry Christmas and a healthy creative New Year from Turkey😊

[@marytesta3003]

Merry Christmas. This was wonderful. I'm totally not great at painting but in 1998 I took a WC class(as well as many over the years) I keep everything and my favorite was a values practice. We could use any color but only 1. It appears I chose a purple and has always been a favorite. I'm going to pick up a frame. Have a great holiday season everyone. I'm sure we are a diverse group here. Stay well and safe.

[@CJ-jl4cx]

Merry Christmas to you and Margo! Thank you both for the gifts you have given all of us throughout the year. You inspire us to keep painting!

[@StephenStrand]

You are a wonderful gift for us all Paul! Bless you for sharing your love of making art and your Top Ten...🌨

[@suelee5751]

Thank you Paul that was fabulous. It must have been difficult to choose a top 10 from all the painting’s you’ve done. All the best to you and Margot for a brilliant and happy 2025. X

[@Lilia.birnaz]

A true artist is not one who is inspired but one who inspires others. (Salvador Dalí) This is a quote about you, dear Paul! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Inspire us in 2025 as always! Greetings from Moldova, Lilia ❤

Buon Natale Paul e Margot. Molto bello vedere il cambiamento del tuo modo di dipingere. Grazie per condividere la tua arte con noi ed aiutarci ad amare sempre più l’acquerello!

[@harmoni4499]

Wow.... they all are so beautiful painting & hard for me to choose the best one! I realized that you love the seascape with boats! ha ha

[@Beecosy]

Fantastic bitter sweet trip down memory lane for you, and idea for a video. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a wonderful festive season and New year 🥰

[@KathleenMcKinstry]

Merry Christmas to you Paul and Margot, I enjoyed this video very much! I’m glad your student made this suggestion, you made some very valid points on each painting. I found very helpful. I was very sorry to hear of the loss of your wife shortly after that vacation. Isn’t it wonderful that you were able to capture and paint such a beautiful memory of that day together!

[@seemakapoor4894]

Really liked your sweatshirt 😊

[@nancytestani1470]

Love the boat one. Like the water and background.

[@TimaraArt]

I've been a quiet student of your channel for about a year. Recently decided to be present online and make comments. A few days ago, I painted #2 before this vid and while mine pales in comparison ( I drew it myself and the dimensions are off), I love the colors, the contrast, the content. I paint on Christmas so thanks for being present.

[@nancytestani1470]

I have looked at the second one…wonderful.

[@barrysimon8103]

Many thanks, Paul, for your top 10. Some I've seen, some not. There's certainly quite a variety to look back on. For some, I'll go back to your archives to understand how you achieved certain effects. Thank you for another great year of sharing your art and techniques. Wishing you and yours contentment and good health in 2025. Barry Simon

[@fadge4105]

Hi Paul, sorry to hear about your loss..your paintings are wonderful and inspiring..Happy Christmas.

Thank you so much Paul for making my Christmas morning bright!

[@ОльгаПаскевич-ъ5б]

IDear Paul Merry Christmas! I love your videos so much. Today I saw an amazing selection of your professional art works in different styles. It's very impressive! Your consistent videos are very helpful in my practice, they are very positive. I am from Ukraine and I always see a flag in the background of the video. Thank you for your support.

[@marimarmaranti2670]

I'm happy to wish you dear Paul Merry Christmas from Greece. Thankful always for your tutorials and your and Margot's wonderful Facebook group !!! Cheers ❤
