How to Paint a Cottage in Line and Wash

[@jeanneanderson6593]

The music in the background is a lovely touch. I always play music while I paint...it engages my mind more fully. As always, thank you for your gifts to us your viewers.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear ... me too with the music!

[@jandaniel9133]

Darling Molly she is in my prayers. Fur babies so special.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Cheers Jan!

[@annenglish2935]

First of all, Molly's with you... her happy place, prayers for her comfort. She ended up being the reason you came upon the lovely village and learned a bit of history about this artist. I just love cottage paintings, puzzles too😄 This was done so beautifully... with the soft music... sat back while you inspired and gave life to his drawing. Haven't painted yet... have most supplies... my first one will be a few flowers and my Blue Door!!! Take care and thank you so much Paul... hugs to Molly🌺🌴

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Very kind of you Ann - thanks!

[@brightonrosie]

Hi Paul. Sad times with Molly but I hope she is up and about soon. I have a bit of a routine now with your tutorials. Wednesdays I watch the video from start to the end. Making a few notes like colours etc. Saturday morning I watch the beginning again ,mix out the colours print the template. I then get the drawing done ( and line in this one ) Have some lunch then paint and smile ( and curse!) in the afternoon Thank you. X

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Always a pleasure Rosie and great to hear your routine!

[@tsvetomiraantova2634]

It is worthless to mention your talent is deep and magical. But I really want to say I am here in YT channel and in FB group, not only because I learn soooo much, but also because of the kindness positivism and calm that you and Margot bring. You are amazing and I am so glad I found you! You're the best!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wow! - very kind and mega thanks!

[@Diane_McDon]

I wish I'd known you were in Hitchin, I'd have joined you ☺️ it's my local town!!! Isn't it a wonderful place with so much of its original character still in tact!After your Plein air tutorial a few weeks ago, I sat in the grounds of the old church and sketched it! I'd admired it for years but never thought to sketch it till I found you! You are a constant inspiration, so thank you! I'm glad your dog is on the mend too.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Ah, thanks so much ... I had a little sketch of the church too! ... such a great little town.

Wow ur teaching has helped me overcome the fear of trying watercolor. Its so informative and precise very easy to learn from u Paul thanks a lot

[@lulujordaan1103]

And so I did give it a go. I was happy, but learned a lot of lessons as well. Really wanted to keep it for myself, but my sister saw it and I gave it to her... 💔 Now I'm going to do it again... MINE😁 Will not show it to others. Have learned my lesson. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am at last learning to work fast and fearless, thanks to you, Clark. Thank you again.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

That's great! ... definitely keep your next one Lulu!

[@dilyssewell1907]

[@bettygalanter4417]

It made me a little teary when you reflected back on what Samuel Lucas would think knowing that in the future you would reproduce his pen sketch of this country cottage that you happened upon and to do so in front of a global audience. Wow, art truly is universal and timeless. Thank you, Mr. Paul. And I am so glad Molly will be ok.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Lovely comment Betty - many thanks!

[@ramonarichter3182]

To watch the picture grow underlaid by this beautiful music, plus the story of the creation of this picture, which tells of becoming and passing away, is beautiful, meditative and a little melancholy. It is a wonderful gesture to honor this work by Samual Lucas in this way. Even if I don't draw or paint everything, I look forward to every video in this not always easy time. Thank you very much for that and greetings from Spain/Andalusia.

I don't want to only paint an English Country Cottage. I want to live there-at last part of the year. Oh no, your Dalmation! We've always had dogs and branched out to cats, then my daughter brought home lovely rats and she could have all of them out on and around her in the same room,! She was a fur-Momma if ever there was one. She died from Cancer fairly recently and was a wonderful artist. I am trying hard to get ack into it myself-so far I have a lot of favorite videos and info-but I cannot Do it. She was prolific. Beautiful spirit and beautiful inside and out. Best, Terri

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

So sorry to hear that Terri - painting is a real healer - I lost my wife to cancer 7 years ago and it really helped me.

[@ts-eu6mp]

@@ArtbyPaulClark Oh Lordy, I just before this wrote something about you and your wife-how funny you are together in the skits. I am so very sorry indeed! I mean no harm and I am hoping and guessing you understand that. But I hope it does not sting to read what I wrote! As my darling girl said, "Cancer sucks." She also said, "Everything causes cancer." when I was referring to this or that to be careful of. Remarkable, these brave and much loved ones. She never once complained and faced everything with a very calm demeanor-which was completely real- inwardly as well as outwardly. Everyone is different. I just heard Jeff Bridges say, "It just makes you more of who you are." I know that to be absolutely true and agree with him. It was that way with my girl. Blessings and good nature for healing and great friends and art therapy--you know what you need. I still don't know what I need but it hasn't been 7 years. Which is like a lifetime in one night sometimes. Gotta go. T.

As usual, I'm going in reverse in my comment. Your background music put me back while studying at UNISA. WHAT A PIECE!!!! I bought your book for beginners though I don't see myself as a beginner, when I get stuck and don't know where to next, I open my Paul bible. I've commented on various artists' KZbin that I can't draw and only put in the most important ones and then paint it correctly. Needless to say,🤣 most were flabbergasted. Well, It works for me and the buyers don't complain.
