Thank you so much Paul for all your free tutorials coz so many people are not able to take any classes for so many reasons. Your tutorials are great and anyone can learn so much from them.

You are very welcome

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks Paula, you can do it, just lots of practice 👍

[@robinwashburn8804]

It's almost... painful... a very lovely sort of emotion that grabs the heart! These moments you provide with a brush, when light hits the subject & glistens and shadows delineate so exquisitely, drawing one right into the place! For me, life just got hard for a few years, but these tutorials are my happy place, sincerely a healing place. Thank you so very kindly for your willingness to share your gifts!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Ahhh, that's so nice of you to say Robin - many thanks!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@bubbletip9836]

The second you put color to paper, Paul I knew this was gonna be fabulous. I watched every second of it, and the music made me feel like I was back in the islands and then when you were talking about using the color for shadows, I agreed with you 1000% and very last you touched it up with goush and I was in heaven nice piece

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

That's so nice of you - thanks for sharing!

The wizard with the brush is back with another wonderful inspiring painting . I love the beautiful contrast of light and shadows 👍

Thanks so much!

[@MrsBarnabas]

Hi, Paul. Did you notice the man in bed in the trees left of picture around 16:40 ? His head actually survived to the end! Thank you for this lovely painting, the clear commentary and the colour mixes on screen. There's always some sort of magic in the air when watching a painting come to life on the screen in this way. I think that a lot of ArtTubers feel that making this sort of video doesn't attract audiences any more, but I think that your channel gives the lie to that! I've been twice to Lanzarote, years ago, once when a relative beginner to painting and sketching en plein air, the other, a few years later, and this painting, plus your La Gomera clips, brought back peaceful and happy memories of going solo with kit and picnic while my husband dived. Have you been to Lanzarote and visited the Cesar Manrique house and garden? It was breathtakingly absorbing and amazing when I visited, and was the highlight of that first trip. The island had changed a lot between those two visits, though. How did your northern hemisphere students cope with the fast drying times (or did last summer's heat waves prepare them?)? They all looked deeply immersed in their paintings in your clips. ... 😄 Thanks again, Paul.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Lol! - had a look but couldn't find him!

[@MrsBarnabas]

@@ArtbyPaulClark Awww ... Draw an imaginary line straight across from the top left angle of the door and you'll find the top half of his head. You should them be able to see the rest of him and the bedding which is just above and left of the thick tree trunk. 😄

[@dhjhawaii]

Aloha from Hawai’i, dear Paul and Margot! Wishing you the best two year website anniversary ever. I was surprised to realize that I have been watching and doing your tutorials for almost that whole time! Here is a small token of my GRATITUDE and APPRECIATION for both of you. I have watched many other artists’ tutorials and demos on youtube, and always come back to yours. First, the brevity and economy of the way you film and explain things. Second, you have given us a multitude of other artists’ styles to try, which has really allowed me to explore and sloooooowly develop what I hope is my own style emerging. Third, the challenges are so fun! My goal is to join you on one of your cruises in the next year or so. MAHALO NUI (“thank you very much” in Hawaiian). Love to both of you. -Dianne Jordan, Honolulu

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi Dianne - Wow!!! - that's super generous of you, thanks so much! Be lovely to meet you too on one of our trips!!!! - all the best Paul

[@BobbyK-mt5dx]

Good eye catching that area, it was beautiful. Palms looked so good as did the whole painting. Your blessed both talent and being able to travel to beautiful places to paint and share. Just a note Paul, I also take a break and have a glass of beer. It's a rewarding thing I think !! Again thank you for your time and teaching, priceless

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi, nice to watch your videos. I have been following your watercolors for a long time and now I realize that you were in my land, the Canary Islands.
