Paul's Watercolour Q&A - No.4 .. including Demonstrations.

[@cherryAlice445]

Thankyou for yet another helpful video. Its only 12 months since I started painting at age 79 years old. It took me all these years to work up the courage helped by your advice. I finally took the plunge to help one of my grandaughters who was suffering from a very long and severe (over 6 months) case of long Covid. She had become so depressed. But with your videos we started painting together and it made a big difference to her outlook. So thanks once again.👍

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

That's wonderful to hear - happy to help in any small way!

I just wanted to tell you wether you are answering questions or painting a picture; you are such a joy to watch! Thank you for all the lessons.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Oh thank you Nancy, that's very kind!

[@lindabeard3474]

I loved your answer about your favorite part of teaching painting. I am a retired 3rd grade teacher & my favorite part of teaching was also that squeal of delight & joy when they realized that they actually got the concept I was teaching them. What a joy it was to hear their little voices rise & to see those sweet smiles. I miss it.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear ... especially from a proper teacher!

[@pokey3010]

I love watching you every week and if you could hear me laugh and see how much I smile.... I am always so excited to watch, learn and watch again to paint along. Thank you so much

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

I'm so glad! ... many thanks!

[@pattycyr8662]

Great video - great tips! It was also nice seeing some of your 1990's paintings. You are a fantastic teacher and artist with the added bonus of your positive and inspirational spirit. Thanks!

[@jacintaferyn122]

You are so very generous with your knowledge. Your earlier work is just wonderful. You have a great understanding of the watercolour materials and techniques, and your drawing method using pentimento is great. Thank you for all you do.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

So nice of you, thanks

[@ddilling1855]

Hi Paul! Thank you for your lovely channel. I have a suggestion for your next Q&A. Perhaps a segment on techniques for how to fix mistakes. For example, is there a right/wrong way to lift paint (when trying to fix a mistake as opposed to creating a highlight) and then painting over top?

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much ... for the suggestion ... I'll add it to the next Q&A!

[@jenniferhosmer9180]

You just the best Paul Clark!!!! I enjoy learning from you!!!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear! Thanks 😊

The part with Margo and your/her workspace is the best EVER ♥♥♥

You're very welcome!... happy to help!

[@sophiemessenger5472]

Thank you, Paul. These were some valuable bits of information. Incidentally, I tried your tutorial of the Scottish Loch. Of course it did not come out like yours, but it was so much fun painting and I’ve decided it’s not that bad & I may even hang it up on the wall. Thank you again for sharing your expertise ❤️

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear Sophie! many thanks!

[@lyswn7052]

Thank you.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you too!

[@tessdavis969]

One of your viewers asked about drawing an object. I used to try drawing on the decent water colouring paper and spoiled many times with erasing. Now I practise any drawing several times on drawing paper. Surprising how much decent watercolour paper you save as well as practising your drawing.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great point! - thanks for sharing!

[@shirleywittering9698]

Yes well worth practicing on cartridge.

[@robyounce644]

Amazing Paul thank you again!

[@Theresa_titus213]

I've been following you since I started this new hobby of watercolor painting. It's not quite a year yet, but I've learned so much from you. I tend to paint more detailed but when I need to loosen up... I visit Paul from across the pond. 😊 I have actually been commissioned 4 times now. Some of my favorited paintings had been inspired by some of yours such as the fox and robin, the old rusty car and the tractor scene as well. ❤Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us all !❤ Theresa from Ohio.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wonderful! ... happy to help Theresa from Ohio!

[@shadowguard3578]

I didn’t know the way I start a drawing is called pentimento. This Q&A with demo was so useful. Thank you!

Wonderful time with you... Margot too!!! 😂 I appreciated the shout out for Liz Chaderton & her book Watercolor on Canvas ... reviewed it with Kindle and bought it! I bought a few stacks of 8 x 8 canvas (a while back), so this will help a painting day with my granddaughters 🎉❤😊!!! You make me laugh!!! God bless you and Margot from a California Gramma ❤️

You are so welcome thanks as always to the original California Gramma ❤

Delighted to help Carol!

[@christinefalconer8886]

Marvellous! Wow , your earlier works are impressive. This was such a worthwhile video. Nice little reminders too. I appreciate your comments on pricing our work. I often find this difficult and especially if I have a painting I feel good about. I was once told to charge two and half times the framing price. Only as a guide. Love this. Thanks Paul.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks for sharing Christine!

[@eabrinks]

Dankjewel! Prachtig! Ik heb onlangs een schilderij gemaakt op een open canvas, met aquarel. En raad eens, het is door naar de finale van een schilderwedstrijd over waterlandschappen. Ik dacht dat het niet kon, maar het kan toch. Het blijft vaag, de verf trekt in het doek. Maar het geeft een Prachtig resultaat. Over de achtergrond van aquarel heb ik met acryl de details geschilderd. Groetjes en bedankt voor al je Prachtige filmpjes

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure ...and happy to help!

[@johnalves5345]

Thank you Paul I always learn something from you whether it’s in a painting tutorial or Q and A .

I love the fish and would like to see more of the detailed version! Also, the red glasses look dashing!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Lol! - thanks - and yes to the fish ... a few others have asked too!

[@gaylenanut7035]

Thank you so much for that last suggestion “This one is just for practice and just for fun, and that is often when you get your best.” I have found this truth in my own experience and will apply it much more often as this has proved to be my best work!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome! thanks Gayle!

[@jennymorgan1587]

Thanks very much, that was very helpful, I'll go back and look over your other Q&A's now 😊

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Cheers Jenny, hope you enjoy them!

[@kellyhalligan1328]

Thanks again. I very much remember your last one where you said that you started with 3 colors and advised us to do the same. Best advice ever. The night takeaway from, today’s is to start every painting as though it’s a practice, and to paint the painting as a whole. Thanks again

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome Kelly!

[@sherryfurr9115]

Thank you for this. I picked up several very helpful hints. Plus your sense of humor brightens my day here in Arkansas, USA.

Thanks again Paul and Margo! I went on a trip and saw many great paintings and actually became discouraged! But then I watched your video again and you have inspired me yet again! I may never build/paint a masterpiece but I can have fun trying! 😊

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear, thanks John!

[@Sunny-pr1qw]

you always add such fun to your videos. my question: since you paint so many paintings, what do you do with them? do you have your own gallery, or show in one, or wallpaper your home with them? and yes, more Q&As would be good, some day. and thanks for showing us your early work!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Many thanks - I sell some, keep some .... and even give a few away!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Almost - thanks Anne!

[@notafan1275]

Thanks for this, I love all your videos. Yes, I would like to see more Q&A videos, and the most immediately useful tip for me was probably that half speed videos would give me the right impression.

[@KathyAnderson-q2d]

How can I purchase Paul’s book. I reside in Australia.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

It's available on Aussie Amazon!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wow, thank you!

[@GwenCantwell-it8vs]

A very helpful video and I’ll have a go at the fish. I have watched all the Q & A tutorials but I don’t think I’ve seen any or many tips on trouble shooting, trying to put right areas when things go wrong. I follow the tutorials, hanging on your every word as I try to copy instruction. I always think I’ll make it my own but sometimes that’s difficult to do, must be my lack of natural creativity. So when my paint won’t do what I expect it to, I want to correct it but don’t know how.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Good point, thanks ... I'll add it to the next Q&A!

[@송순옥-w6s]

감사드립니다~~~~~~~~~~^^
