How to Paint a Child on the Beach in Watercolour

[@grandmabarby]

Where is the LOVE button. With a lovely grandchild with curls and a love for the beach who knows! I may pull this one off with your help. And yes...A BOY!

[@ingelanzenberger4207]

How did you get those curls looking like a sponge: love your video

[@Martycycleman]

Lovely summer picture.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ashleyoakley8268]

Giving this one "a go" x3 with alterations for each of my children as "mothers day" gifts for my mom and MIL. 2 boys and one girl, right proud of my sketch with the skirt if I do say so myself. Can't wait to get to the finishes product. 😊 thanks so much for your tutorials!

[@jeanunderhill3868]

Brilliant. Seagulls gave the boy a subject to look at.

Merci beaucoup Paul !! On dirait mon petit fils au bord de l'océan 🥰🤗

[@kate-mq2fz]

Amazing! This little man looks ready for anything. Tears are pricking my eyes as I am sending all my love to my own son, a lovely 18 yo with autism who as he phoned home today, full of calm and joy, was sitting astride the bowsprit of Bel Espoir II, lying at anchor in Molène. My thoughts are with all the parents and grandparents of sea-loving children.

Good afternoon, dear Paul! Amazing lesson. I could feel the wind in boy's hair and cloths, smell of sea air. I guess all of us who have little children (grandkids) will run to paint this lovely scene in this summer season. Again you prepared a great tutorial, mentioning all details, tips and tricks. Have a nice day, greetings from Moldova. Lilia Birnaz

This little boy reminds me of my sister’s son. His hair was so thick and curly she refused to cut it for 3 years. He sometimes was mistaken for a girl. Lol. I really love this painting and I might “give it a go” It would be perfect for my area as we have beautiful beaches. No grandkids yet for me. I don’t think my own kids are quite grown up even though they are technically adults. But hey, who wants to grow up? Let’s all go to the beach and paint. 🖌️🖼️🎨🌊🏖️☀️ (using lots of emojis just for Adela!) lol 😂❤😘 Plus I think it’s world emoji day coming up. 🌎🌍🌏Have a blessed day Paul and Margot! 🙏🏻❤️🥰

Hello Jacqueline and good day to you and your family! I am very glad that you mentioned me about emoticons. Lol! I am very emotional and impressionable!But I have no grandchildren, because I have no children and never had a husband, I have been living alone for a long time. I am used to being alone and only painting and needlework: sewing, knitting, embroidery brings me joy, especially drawing.Small children are similar to each other, sometimes you can’t distinguish between a child, a boy or a girl! Lol! But I’m still glad that thanks to Paul’s channel I find friends and am very grateful to him!We are getting cold + 17 ° С and a strong wind. Rainfall at night and during the day. They flooded the entire hacienda, the whole land under water and the greenhouse. Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplants died .... A strong hurricane with a thunderstorm and thunder was at night! We were afraid!
