How to Paint a Beach Scene in Watercolour

[@Gerald-HampshireUK]

Paul, You certainly are an inspiration for those, like me, who are novices to watercolour. I'm a late starter at the age of 74, but I'm loving your tuition videos.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear Gerald

[@carolstefan7662]

You sure do know how to make things come to life in your paintings. I could even hear the seagulls!!!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks for that Carol!!!

[@josephcollins6033]

"...hampster with wings..." You throw those out when I least expect it; then I am hysterical and have to rewind! Please keep it up. And, thanks for loving bees!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Always!

[@karenarmendariz2858]

First thing I do Wednesday mornings when I wake up is watch your painting video. You never disappoint with the wonderful paintings, or the spontaneous things you say! You always start my day with a good laugh 😂 which is so appreciated. The paintings at the end are wonderfully cleaver. Many talented and witty people out there . 😁👌

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@lindathaxton1994]

Thank you - clear instruction AND soft, soothing music. Thank you for sharing!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You're very welcome!

[@barbaraonisko7441]

Your clouds!!!! The rock reflections, your wave scraping, the beach figures…just stunning. Thank you.

[@junecovey2186]

Lovely tutorial Paul - the sky is so beautiful. Loved seeing the Seagull paintings. People are so witty with their interpretations.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lindasartisticwisdomwithoi3952]

You are most wonderful to watch. I learned a lot from your expert method of teaching. Will benefit from this and your other tutorials for a lifetime. Thank you Paul.

[@sunsetshadow]

"Hamster with wings" lol .. I get those bumble bees here too! Love this beach scene, on my To Do list!!

[@TheDebbydoll]

I love the 🐝!! They were buzzing all around today! What a beautiful and serene place to paint. You are blessed and in turn, bless others with your cheery smile and attitude toward life. Thank you!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much

[@nancytestani1470]

Beautiful, wisteria gorgeous.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@maureenbusch224]

Being a Brit, I love your weird humour! Thank you so much for your generosity in time and expertise - I so look forward to your Wednesday tutorials. Thanks to you, I have slowly finished two paintings which I’m surprised to relate, are not bad at all.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome! and glad to hear Maureen!

[@nancytestani1470]

Here, here..

[@ljubatartaglia7166]

Nisam vidjela ljepšeg neba, predivno more i bjelina valova a tek mrvica crvene boje.Moj favorit. Očaravajuće.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much - will do!

[@donnacarraway9182]

Loved the video!! The great thing about painting tutes is that they are just as relevant today as when they were created a year ago! The cartoon pics were awesome and priceless! I thought that you were teaching beginners but those people have talent and your fun sense of humor is definitely catching on and loved! Thank you to you and your wife too, as I know that she is supporting your crazy but awesome art all the way! A great duo!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much Donna - much appreciated!

[@Ann_Georg]

Как же я люблю Ваши уроки, Paul! Я влюблена в Вас. Люблю Ваши шутки, Вашу манеру говорить, Ваши приемы работы. Скорее бы отпуск, буду рисовать с Вами.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Cheers - many thanks!

[@sunainaupadhyay9995]

Good evening sir. You just made my day as I was thinking to request you humbly to show me how to make sky and here I m blessed to have one from your side. No words to describe your style so simple to look at yet so difficult to copy. Your style is creating illusion of being easy but but so stylish n wooven in ur attire . No one can copy you. Yet another splendid tutorial

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are most welcome

[@irishdruid2]

You are the Bob Ross of watercolour ! Love the T-shirt as well

[@neilcarpenter8457]

Watched this again Paul and you have created real depth and distance and your sky recedes perfectly into the distance brilliant thanks for sharing

[@DSmith-pc9jn]

The sky is so beautiful in this painting.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Cheers - many thanks!

[@jilliandane3737]

This is a perfect painting. The skies, the ocean, the shore. I want to try it today. Thank you sir for sharing your talents with us. I am calling you 'sir' since you're my art teacher now.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Many thanks

[@waymire01]

Oooh... I love the contrast with the sharp edged and soft clouds.. I've done one or the other but not both at the same time. It really gives that layered look with the clouds stacked up.

[@sabineleppanenart3014]

I agree. It’s exquisite.😲

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks for sharing!

[@deborahrech7429]

Brilliant! Love the painting and the tutorial is packed with so much to learn, from the beautiful sky to Phil and his pet fox! Thank you.

Oh be still my heart. This looks like a local beach here on the southern Oregon coast. I love this tutorial. Thank you

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome!

[@lk2645]

Were you thinking of Harris Beach Park?

[@lisamurphy5007]

@@lk2645 I was think Haystack

[@MsBurleyS]

I am learning so much from your techniques on using tissue, and scraping. Also dropping in colour to add dimension. LOVE your students work too! Thank you so much!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much!

[@gloriawachel917]

I think this is so beautiful. Just amazed at the sky, reflections, birds, etc. Thank you

[@jacquelinebudd1277]

I never thought your channel would make me look forward to Wednesdays.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

I absolutely love your art work - I just want to be one of the people enjoying themselves in that scene !

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Me too Leanne!!!

[@eileenthompson5660]

Without doubt, that is my absolute favourite painting....I just love the sky, its stunning!! Thank you So much! X

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much Eileen! 😀

[@colliecoform4854]

This scene reminded me of how much enjoyment I found in watercolors. Since finding your channel I have ordered some new paint supplies as it is much to hot here in New York to be looking for boxes in the attic. I stopped painting because of some physical ailments but have decided to give it another try. Tremors can be rogue waves and twitches suicidal seagulls. It has been several years but I'm hoping I can fall back into it. Once it cools off I will be getting out my old sketches just as a refresher. Thanks for getting me started again.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

That's great to hear - many thanks!!!

[@ludmilaskjrbk4111]

Dear Paul, I am very grateful for each of your videos. You inspire creativity. Thank you ❤️

[@lydiaschopfer408]

Splendide! J'adore l'atmosphère de cette scène d'été à la mer. Le ciel est très réussi. Chez moi, c'est le point faible. Merci Paul de nous aider à mieux peindre chaque jour.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Cheers - many thanks!

[@canadianmama048]

Sharon from Canada here, wanted to say I just found your KZbin channel and I think it is amazing. I just finished your cabin on the beach and was so impressed with my work that I thought someone else painted it. I look forward to painting more. You are such a talented painter and I can’t wait to do more with you

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much!

[@donnagreene4454]

I’ve been wanting to give a beach scene a go. This demo is perfect. Thank you for all you do. But you look a little tired, Paul. Have a nap after you finish your brew. 😊 Take care.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Lol!!! thanks Donna I will!

[@davidsecker5161]

The land you put in on the horizon to cover the mistake is great, it was a mistake worth making. Love the picture.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Yup .... sometimes you can just be lucky David!

[@alisonhendry2928]

Thank you SO much. You make it all look so simple. Must give this a go. The sail on that front boat is brilliant! Swoop swoop blur and done,,,, wow. Your brush handling is enviable too.
