How to Paint an Alleyway with Washing in Watercolour

[@ruthdallas6125]

Paul you are the absolute best teacher. Thank you ❤

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

So kind - thanks Ruth!

[@eileenfyfe7672]

I really like it when you show your palette and how you mix your colors. It is so helpful, as I am still learning how this medium works. This was really an enjoyable tutorial. Thank you Paul for all you do.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cozyflannel]

Having the palette on the side is SO HELPFUL for a beginner like me. I really needed to gain an understanding of how much of a wash to create, get a better sense of water to pigment ratio, etc. This was a handy visual- thanks as always!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad it was helpful!

[@karenmenor1771]

I just finished this painting with you! Your teaching is so very helpful to me. Helping me mix colors, loosen up my painting, and overall having a fun time with you! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@vickiarn]

Great painting. I love clotheslines they are so reminiscent of the good old days. I love watching the clothes blowing in the wind, it's so meditative. Thanks

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it Vicki!

[@julieandrews730]

Another great lesson in mixing, values, and those final touches that make the painting even better! Love your channel!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! Cheers Julie 😁

Thank you so much 😀

[@soniachahal139]

Absolutely Lovely Paul. Loved the old charm picture. Plus the techniques you showed us. The details you add are fantastic. The shading. At first when I saw the title of wash line , I wondered. But nothing is ever just ordinary in your paintings. Therefore was pleasantly surprised and loved it. Thank-you and have a wonderful day. 💓

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it Sonia - thanks!

[@soniachahal139]

@@ArtbyPaulClark always do. Looking forward to next week. 🥰

[@bonniecullom1007]

This is a great painting, Paul 🧡 I always love watching your techniques along with your instruction… what a huge help for me personally, while I am forever learning new things after a few years of painting, and your humor always brightens my day 😎🎨

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much Bonnie 😀

[@patriciadupuis9857]

Thanks for this cheerful tutorial, raising the ordinary, washing on the line, to art! Even the most humble of life's details can be celebrated. For those of us in Canada, putting the laundry out on the line is a harbinger of spring:)

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it and roll on spring!

[@wendyleader8905]

Absolutely beautiful, great to see how you mix your colours

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You one of my favourite artists, fabulous paintings, great variety of tutorials and easy to understand. Thanks Paul 👍🏾

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wow, thank you Pat!

[@needle.thread.watercolor-jloh]

The potted plants add a bit of beauty to the mundane task of hanging laundry, although I have never minded doing laundry. Really nice painting. Thank you.

[@needle.thread.watercolor-jloh]

I was amazed you found a wine with the name.....oh you didn't! Made me laugh of course! I cringe when an artist says a shadow is grey and I think of all I have learned from you.

[@needle.thread.watercolor-jloh]

I really enjoyed the diversity in the paintings by FB group members. Such talent.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear thanks .... Maybe I ought to get that wine made!!!

[@christinemayopowers]

Thank you for Watercolor Wednesday! This one with lots of techniques and challenges. Can’t wait to give it a go. Thank you 😊

thank you so much for including your palette! I haven't seen anything like the spare one for mixing so that is something I want to look for. So it was great that you showed it.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome!

[@joycegilley]

Lovely painting! I always enjoy!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi J - sorry to hear that ... poor old Lily .... looks like she had a good long life! .... all the best Paul

[@SherryVardabasso]

Another great video. !😊 Can’t believe how helpful it was to see your palette as you painted!! It really helps me understand how you get the colors you do. …and how much water you use. Would love it if you can do it again when you can.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GretchenBender-zl8nw]

Happy Watercolor Wednesday Everyone , the best day of the week ! Spring break is over and the littles are back in school, and now maybe I can get some painting done ! It has been a challenge standing up and then keeping up with my foot recon still healing in an air cast , Wah ! I Love it when you choose a picture from one of Margot’s challenges and then show all those beautiful paintings from the group at the end! I had a lot of fun with this challenge and look forward to painting this beauty, I always learn something new every week ! One thing, I can never tell which is the right side to paint on of this Saunders 300lb rough paper! Thank you Always Paul ! Many blessings to you and Margot ! 😊

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Cheers Gretchen - thanks as always .... and there should be a logo embossed on the paper to show the right side! ... although I have painted on the back, several times and it's still fine!

This brings fond memories of my Grandmother on laundry day... some 60 years ago! Yes! The fragrance of her sheets was almost as good as her cookies! 😂 Very beautiful, Paul! Also appreciate the paintings from the Facebook group. Quite lovely! Take care, Sir Paul! With love & gratitude from a California Gramma ❤

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Lovely comment Ann and so pleased it bought back some good memories!

[@stampinturtles]

Good morning Paul! This was such a lovely video for me to wake up to. I enjoyed sipping my coffee and watching this scene come to life. You are the best teacher of watercolor painting. Every step is explained. I really appreciate all you do for us online folks. Getting across the pond is just too hard for me at the moment but I look forward to Wednesdays and learning new techniques and tips from you. It’s almost like we are sitting together and painting. Have you ever thought about going live? Would love to watch you paint live. Plus the chat would be fun. I’m off to try to paint this very peaceful and calm scene. Much love and prayers for you and Margot. ❤🙏🏻

[@adelabadova3105]

Thank you, dear Jacqueline! I always congratulate my friends and they me too! Your Facebook profile was decorated beautifully today and asked me to congratulate you on Angel Day. That’s why I found out your date of birth!☺️😊

Thanks so much ... and Happy Birthday Jacquline!!!! - I've thought of doing some live stuff, but at the mo, far to busy!

[@stampinturtles]

@@ArtbyPaulClark thank you a much! It’s been a great day of tornado warnings 🌪️ And thunderstorms ⛈️ lol so watching the news and holding my terrified yorkie. Lol. I’ll try to get in the studio to paint if I can. Maybe plan to go live when you approach a milestone in subscribers. We can watch it live! lol

[@sheilamariaeyles9358]

Thanks carrie!

[@Sherlock2022]

Bizarrely, I only painted this yesterday. It’s interesting how you have a different approach. I painted it without any pre drawing then added line afterwards. Perhaps that may be a theme in the future; see how you would paint it then see how Paul interprets the same thing. Thanks again.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great idea! ... thanks!

always phenomenal!🎉🎉🎉 I haven’t followed you in a while not because I didn’t want to. I was embarking on doing portraits ended up doing charcoal portraits for about two years but I got to missing watercolor so I started watching you again because now I’m very sluggish at it! Thank you so much for going slow. I watch them all the way through.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Welcome back! thanks!

Wow!! Thank you to Margot and the Facebook group absolutely love seeing the different interpretations!! Paul - thank you for all your teaching and all the time devoted to us on KZbin!! I do like the added pallet but would also like to see when possible the painting or photo a bit more to see what you are working from. Does that make sense?! Thank you again. :0)

[@susankelly4911]

Hi Paul thank you for this great tutorial. I love it. I love the way you did the shadows on the buildings.

God bless you and Margot. Susan ❤🎨👍🙏🕊

[@lisegagne3716]

Hi Paul! I loved how this one literally jumped off the page!! It’s very helpful for me to see how you navigate the paints on screen. As I watch I can feel you glancing at the photo? Do you do that? Your hands pause and I wonder is he looking at a tablet, a photo, screen?🧐. I look forward to watching your content every week thank you Paul (please show us your groovy boots you wore with the tie die next time😮)😂! Ps try a big aroma bowl thin glass edge for your Pinot! Swirl, sniff and sip! Cheers 🍷
