How to Paint a Coastal Scene in Ibiza in Watercolour

[@charlottemccartney9076]

Paul Clark ❤ I can't possibly thank you enough!! My mother who is 91 years of age and has spent the last month battling a fractured hip, lung infection and having a pacemaker fitted. We thought we could be losing her at one point physically or mentally but this evening, she sat watching Watercolour Wednesday!!!🎉🖌️🎨👩‍🎨🖼️ She smiled and discussed the use of pastel pencils, the various colours you used and how wonderfully detailed the bark on the tree was!! God bless you and your talent! God bless Watercolour Wednesday!!🎉😊🎊

Hi Charlotte - Wow, that's wonderful to hear and happy to help in any small way - do say 'hi' to your mum for me!

[@cajsheen2594]

It's your painting, you can call it what you like! Whatever you call it, it's well worth our time spent watching, I know that! ❤ XXX

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Good of you to say - thanks!

[@theresaavery4670]

"Off we go!" Love hearing that. Welcome back! The craggy crevices in that main tree were spectacular!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear - many thanks!

[@lindaarthur9711]

Lots of mini lessons and "reasons why" in this demonstration - Thank you so very much! I hope you feel a bit rested despite working your butt off in your "vacation" workshops. We missed you and appreciate all you do for this watercolor community!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Very kind Linda, thanks!

[@marymccaslin1690]

I call it utterly beautiful. Your paint retreat is on my bucket list. I am so jealous and want to spend time with like minded artists!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You can do it! ... we do have a lot of fun!!!

[@diangansen8482]

The bark on that tree is amazingly realistic! And I loved the "mad" colors while they were visible.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks!

[@elainewood2947]

Yippeee your back, you’ve been missed 👍

Hey, thanks! good to be back!

[@teresaluna1936]

Thank goodness you are back ! I missed my Wednesday morning, coffee and Watercolor painting with Paul!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Enjoy! ... thanks so much!

[@37homecrafts]

Stunning! Love watching you paint. Thank you ❤️👍

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure!

[@adelabadova3105]

Good afternoon ☕🫖🍩🍛dear Paul! Finally, you appeared in your cozy studio and Jacqueline and I are happy that you are with us again! During this time, we managed to miss you, because... I’m used to watching your wonderful lessons on Wednesdays. I hope you had a great rest 🏖️🏝️🏕️ during this time, gained strength, new impressions, and now you will share with us your positive impressions from the trip. And I thank you for another wonderful video and give you a like 👍, as always , and I wish you health, peace, good luck, our dear Paul!!💐❤️💋🖼️🎨🖌️🖍️📝✏️🖐️☺️

[@stampinturtles]

Yay!!! A new video from my favorite KZbinr! ❤❤❤and artist! 🎨🖼️🖌️I’ve got my ☕️ coffee and I’m settled down to watch.

[@adelabadova3105]

@@stampinturtles Hello!Well done, sit and watch and don’t forget to take a sip of coffee with maple syrup, it gets cold quickly!😅😅😅😅☕💋And I'm drinking a cup of hot tea with biscuits and also enjoying Paul's video from Ibiza! Thanks to Paul!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi Adela! - yes great to be back ... it was a great trip but not necessarily a great rest! take care and thanks again for your comments!!!

[@suerees9379]

I am in awe of the way you bring a scene to life. I am a beginner and one of the key words which gives me trouble is SIMPLIFY. This 20 minute tutorial made sense. I’m going to watch it again a few more times and break the scene down into sections to study. Thank you Paul. I think something finally made sense to me in Western Canada! Sue

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome!

[@swimgoddess-r1u]

Karel here from America glad you are back. I used to be in the Shoreline Plein air painters in CT. Took early retirement at 50 an moved to Florida. I still learn tips from you. That wood tip on big tree what texture. Wow it was gorgeous. We traveled to Spain an Greece with our group an Charles Gruppe. Your art getaways look so much fun. Wish I was there.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

That is awesome! ... thanks for sharing Karel!

[@christinephillips2069]

I love how you added texture to the tree trunk it looks real, I just want to touch it !

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much!

[@sanctityjohnson289]

Welcome back, Paul! You're a master at painting/art, but I especially love the way you paint your trees. No one else can get them quite the way you do. Thank you for another great tutorial, and showing us your secrets.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you very much!

[@MontuckyGirl75]

I really think you ought to entertain getting a t-shirt made that says, "And who doesn't love a bit of splatter?!" Thank you so much for your videos. You have been such an inspiration to me. It is on my bucket list to meet you some day across the pond, be it in the UK or elsewhere! Take care and God Bless You!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great idea! Lol!!! ... I'll get it in production!

[@lorismith-vz3gm]

Nice video, thank you, esp tje rocks and bark instruction. Can't wait to try this one. Would love to see you do something with bokeh effect to get your take on the technique. Appreciate keeping tje reference photo up more!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much - check out this video of mine if you like the bokeh effect: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5KcpHSlgd-Fa7s

[@Klecksfabrik]

What a wonderful painting! ❤ and what a great tutorial! You really show the fun and love for painting in everything you do. And you can ‘label’ your paintings any way YOU like. I love how you show us so many different methods and techniques, adding a little of other media for highlights. I learned so much. And I really think some people take themselves and labelling a little bit too seriously. Thank so much for everything.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@hopemartens6026]

Adding the trees on the right was good. It let the eye go back to the bridge rather than focus on the big tree. You're great!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

That's very kind - thanks!

[@ShariArts]

I missed the weekly tutorials, so glad you are back. There doesn't seem to be a drawing on the website.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Many thanks ... yes, sorry a bit late but it's there now!

[@christidoe9431]

That was great…..I love the focal tree!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

many thanks!

[@eirenmist12]

You're back! All is right with my Wednesday World again 😊 And you came back with your A game....Thanks! A lovely lesson in handling greens and foliage and rocks.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Oh my word! That was a L-O-N-G 3 weeks! Welcome back! Thank you!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you too!

[@AmyBrauner]

Oh I have to echo the last commenter's comments; I hope you had a great vacation and a good rest, but I missed your tutorials! You are and continue to be an awesome educator; I realize that I need to slow down (I am so impatient) and not do too many darks right off the bang, so I have room to add details. I hope that life is treating you well.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks for your lovely comment!

[@DrCarolFrancis]

Thanks yet again for helping me see composition, shadows, and accents. Look forward to learning by doing.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure!

Really enjoyed this pretty scene! I have a photo from our recent trip to Hawaii that has a tree situation like yours, so this will help me make decisions how to make it the best I can! Thank you so much for all your work, effort, and creative work to bring these great tutorials to us. I appreciate it!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Sounds great! ... have fun!

Thanks so much for another great tutorial! I was fortunate to have attended your workshop in Ibiza in person and learned a ton from you and Margot. For anyone who is interested in attending a workshop in person, I highly recommend it! Can't wait to paint this and relive the experience!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks for the great comment Sean and it was great to meet you both!

[@annika8877]

Hi Paul, thanks again for this great tutorial! 🌼 Even without painting along there is so much to learn just by watching the video! I love all these little tips and explanations, it's so much more interesting than without any narration. ☺️

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Cheers ... happy to help!

[@raaghuchandru7733]

Glad you're back. I LOVE trees, especially ones that grow through rocks. Resilience, huh?! Thanks for your encouraging and relaxing style. I'm learning a LOT from your instruction and demonstrations. I've had many "Aha" moments. Hope your holiday was great and your dog has fully recovered. -Pam Glass P.S. I don't mind if you call your paintings watercolor or whatchamacallits.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks Pam - great comment!!!

[@LindaKnox-r7m]

Paul, I can tell that you got a good rest. You offered so many new tips and I really enjoyed this painting. I always struggle with tree bark. This one is a triumph! As always, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and talent.

[@dhags5]

Welcome back and thank you for your time! Loved this painting and the bark detail. I also loved the addition of the blue pastel to bring sky peeking through the branches - great idea. I want to also thank you for having the painting or photo reference more often - it really helps to see where you are going with the painting or what we can do to add or subtract to make it our own! Truly thank you for your time I don't know if that added a lot more work for you, but appreciate it!! :0)

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much Jenell - and for the tip with the photo! cheers!!!
