How to Paint Mountains in Watercolour - 3 Easy Ways!

[@anniles9183]

Thanks Paul. I am sitting in Torres del Paine, Patagonia with the most gorgeous snow capped mountains outside my window wondering how to paint them and you just showed me how to do it. You make it look so easy. Much appreciated.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wow!!! - that sounds wonderful - have fun!

[@lindyhawthorne2164]

OMG.....speechless !!! the second mountain demo is stunning.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you - that's very kind Lindy!

[@embaaj]

One of the Best Teachers. Sense of joy while teaching. That's the best! Thank you!

[@jmund175]

I just started watercolor a year ago and have always gravitated to mountain scenes but haven't quite grasped how to make them pop and look more realistic but this video has given me so much more direction and confidence!!!!! Thank you so much I love your videos!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Happy to help!

[@PKMarston]

So so stunning! Love the Mountains! Thank You Paul!!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much Stephanie!

[@saileshramcharan3445]

Fantastic tutorial. Certainly one of the most influential online teachers i've encountered while meandering you-tube. Respect

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wow, thanks!

[@ujjainimukherjee2267]

Not only are your paintings mesmerizing...you make it look so simple....that's another art I believe ...to make people pick up brush and try painting

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@DominiqueBretteville]

Votre plus grande fan (Normande) de vos vidéos est une fois de plus merveilleusement enchantée par votre art pour peindre ces montagnes . Et toujours l immense plaisir de réviser mon anglais en vous écoutant...pourvu que vous gardiez le désir de nous faire partager vos secrets et surtout de toujours peindre ! 🤗

Hi Paul ! One thing that stands out is that behind your marvellous paintings are some simple techniques. Of course, you are thorough, like a master teacher.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Many thanks!!!

[@momijiyamanishi4548]

I am 4th generation and my children are 5th generation on our plot of land. The trees standing around us are 110 years old. The history is deep. With that passion of beauty I try to produce art. Thank you for helping me on my journey.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@neilbooker5045]

I have all the stuff needed, it's just the courage to have a go. It's Sunday, no work, so today is the day. Thank you Paul Clark for the encouragement. From France.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Gi for it .... and nothing to be afraid of - what's the worst that can happen!!!!

[@gerlofvandriel3817]

Dear Paul, Thanks for still finding the time to post a weekly tutorial on You Tube. I always look forward to it and enjoy your 'performance' with paint and brush. Sincerely, Gerlof van Driel The Hague The Netherlands

The same subject in different ways is such great practice. This helps me “see” how to achieve what’s in my minds eye. We all so appreciate everything you and Margo do for us. ❤️ from Michigan

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You're welcome 😊 Thanks Kimberly🌹

[@Deedster56]

WOW! WOW! WOW! That’s like Three Cheers but WAY heartier. Paul, you could not have done a more wonderful tutorial on mountains. I had watched your previous series, which was also awesome, of course, but this was just SO great! Thank you for everything you and our lovely Margot do for us, it is very much appreciated 👏❤️🍁🍂🇨🇦

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi there Didi! - always love reading your comments - thanks as always and keep in touch!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome Gretchen!

[@alisonhendry2928]

Oh wow! Have to comment before I am even finished watching. Those snowy mountains are BRILLIANT! I can’t stop staring. You make it look so easy. Love all these little secrets you share. I might even be brave enough to give this one a try! Love it, love it!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much! - you can do it Alison!

[@JoyAloha709]

Thanks, Paul - for you dedication, instruction, interesting techniques, encouragement and inspiration.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it Gila!

[@sabitachakrabarty1370]

Hello Mister Clark .Thank you so much.All of these techniques are beautiful but the 3rd one was the best.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you liked it!

[@lenoredafoe4715]

Beautiful. And great lesson. We don’t have to copy your paintings - as if we could. As if I could that is. Thank you.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much!

[@juliehigh8743]

As always, Paul, a wonderful and instructive tutorial, thanks so much!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks again!

Once again a wonderful lesson, I always look forward to watercolour Wednesday.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@karencernan414]

Love watching you paint! Happy little places.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! 😊

[@ArleenSchaller]

thank you Paul. I had requested you demonstrate mountains and just found this wonderful demonstration. As a skier of 50 years, this painting looks so realistic that it reminds me of the mountains in Olympic Valley, California.

[@akosaeyw]

Thank you Paul... It's wonderful and really helpful.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you think so!

[@laurahale5774]

Thank you for showing us so many great techniques. Wonderful lesson.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@momijiyamanishi4548]

Sometimes life can be really tough, but when you bring art into the mix it makes the hard edges of life so much more smooth. Thank you very very much.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure!

[@davidsecker5161]

I loved the last one, as usual thanks for all your help.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome!

[@manuelakeller3703]

Paul, thanks so much for the beautiful demonstration and really good explanation of your 3 Easy Ways! All the best

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad it was helpful!

[@janiceshepherd4873]

As usual, unique and wonderful! Even your background music is beautiful and unobtrusive! Thank you!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you very much Janice!!

[@lyndachandler4886]

Great use of the plastic wrap on the dropped in wet color. Fabulous!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@George21064]

I used this information to redo a painting I did a year ago when I started painting after a 30 year break. What a difference a year makes with the help of these videos, thanks Paul.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wonderful! wow! - 30 years - go for it George!

[@AnnaShevardina]

Thank you very much Paul! You are such an unbelievably gifted teacher! You are the one who really hold me off giving up on watercolor at moments of blackest despair. I follow you for about three years now, my very first brushes are from your shop and all this time I can always find a wonderful motives, unvaluable knowledge and skills, funny atmosphere, encouragement without hundred hours of theory about values, perspektive and proportions. When a poor student is desperate and lost, one step away from giving up then the dry theory is a wrong way. I AM such a student and often you are my only rescue. At least I still paint with watercolor till now. Thank you so much!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

What a lovely comment and thanks so much for your support ... since the beginning!

[@joyconnellartist9251]

Fascinating as ever. Just love watching the magic of watercolour......

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Cheers Joy!

[@kathleensorman8668]

Thank you for this wonderful lesson Paul! I live near the mountains and see their beauty everyday. This inspires me to paint them more!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are very welcome

[@ravimuley6634]

That's amazing . Love it. These mountains will be the next thing I paint. Thanks Paul.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Have fun!

[@gretchenmack-pq4fo]

Outstanding! Thank you for all the different ways to achieve these mountain vistas!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@josephcollins6033]

Paul, you do know that you are a great teacher, right? I can't do these now, but I saw the three paintings. Just gorgeous. I will do them soon! And, THANK YOU!!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you to you too J - always appreciated!

[@rox5326]

Thank you so much Paul, you are such a great tutor! Clear, to the point, dynamic, I love your channel! Ever so generous, thank you! It seems that I will finally stop struggling when painting my favorite mountain from the kitchen window!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you like them Rox!

[@normaherrera1241]

I really liked the 2nd demo. The colors and simplicity is stunning!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much!

[@momijiyamanishi4548]

My dad did tramp art. You should see the picture frame he made. He also made beautiful gun stocks out of the walnut tree that was cut down. This drive to do art is strong in me. I am doing my best to fulfill my own passion. Thank you for helping pave the way.

[@avigail5356]

Thank you So much for simplifying the process, the cling film is an amazing idea, love it!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome!

[@ngbrenda6356]

Thanks for your sharing. You make everything so smooth and easy. I may try to paint it this weekend. You’re my favorite artist on KZbin.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Very kind many thanks 😊

[@louisscenti3813]

Wonderful Paul. Love the cling film effect. Thank you.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it Louis!

[@nitakarane1922]

Thank you a lot for this tutorial! For some time thought how to paint mountains with watercolor, tried many times but could not get result that I wanted. Then yesterday finally found these simple and great techniques.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad I could help!

[@normamiller2316]

All three paintings are stunning! You’re such an amazing artist and teacher. I live in a mountain region, and will practice your techniques. Thank you.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much!

[@maxjelinski7170]

Thanks heaps! I’ve watched many vids on painting mountains but none of them come close to what and how you teach it, your attention to detail is so appreciated. You are, kind sir, an excellent teacher; I need not search out any more vids as I have found what I’ve been looking for. At 70 I’m afraid I’m done with having babies but if I had another son I think I’d want to name him Paul. LOL.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Awesome, thank you! - great comment Lol!!!

[@liciacolore]

You are the best teacher ever, I'm so grateful. Love from Italy

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

So good of you to say Licia!

[@karenmorgan4250]

I so enjoy your videos. I have watched this one several times over the last couple of years and one day I will paint a mountain!

[@GaPeach2018]

Very impressive- you can “feel” the cold. Another great tutorial. Thank you so much. My painting has really improved since I started painting with you last year. Yes- I’ve been here from the beginning.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure 😊

[@beebee8018]

It is a jolly good informative book, my favourite at the moment and have not been able to put it down. You have a good way of communicating; “Imagine you are with me in the medieval street of the village of Verrucola in Tuscany” drawing your readers into the project. First I read the book from cover to cover before starting the projects which I am enjoying learning these new skills. Also a big thank you for the 45 printouts! What a lovely gesture. Lovely website. Like your book, your KZbin is different, I keep coming back for more 😊. I practice practice & practice each and every day, I love watercolour but it is by having good tutors who truly take an interest and enjoy sharing their knowledge that who get their details across. BIG Thank you Paul. ✏️🎨🖍

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

A BIG thank you to you too BB - much appreciated - keep in touch, more to come!

[@claudinekuhlmann4165]

Really amazing what you can get with such easy ways. Thank you for showing!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@theresaavery4670]

So loved the last scene with the cling wrap. I am painting a fantasy castle up on a mountain scene for my grandson. I am definitely going to practice that technique! Thank you, Paul!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Sounds great! Happy to help 👍

Hi Paul, I find your channel to be one of the best tutorials for painting landscapes. Thanks for all you do I really appreciate learning about the sandwich wrapper techique for creating texture and the knife for creating sparkling water. I enjoy learning new things. Thanks again.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

I'm a novice watercolourist (5 months) who knows he'll never achieve your level of skill and expertise, but who finds every one of your videos truly invaluable....you've added countless new possibilities to my journey, for which I must thank you.... p.s. the clingfilm technique looks priceless!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

So nice of you - thanks!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

So cool! - go for it Sandra!

[@Spolom]

Dear Mr. Clark, for about 2 years I dreamed of learning to work with watercolors. I studied (mostly theoretically) all brands of paper, all pigments. The point is that watercolor landscapes just tormented me for these 2 years. And although I watched a lot of workshops and subscribed to many channels, I painted poorly, especially landscapes. I didn't know how to mix paints, I didn't understand why. But after only one of your lessons, I was able to paint the sea, the rocks, the lighthouse. Indeed, a miracle happened! Progress has been so rapid, I thought, maybe I'm in a different reality! Thank you very much. You are a genius teacher!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

That's great to hear - so happy I can help - keep in touch!!!

[@scarlettgoeman8804]

Dear Mr Paul Clark! I saw your tutorial, three weeks ago and note on a paper, : 3 ways to colour mountains number three... How to say you : thank you!!!, to day I paint this lake and mountains and for the first time, with my eyes, I feel proud before my aquarelle... I appreciate so much what you do, and do for all of us...and the beginning of every tutorial, with your touch of humour! Happy evening from south of France

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much!
