How to paint a Daffodil in 20 minutes!

[@irynasorokina2301]

Hi Paul.I have been drawing with you for a long time, thanks for the support of my country - Ukraine. My native Kharkov is now under Russian bombs and missiles. After 10 days under bombs, we left for Western Ukraine. Now I'm painting with you again. You are my watercolor idol. Thanks!

[@noreenkellett3863]

Our hearts are heavy with sorrow for the heroic people of Ukraine, sending love and praying for peace for your country ASAP. Glad u r able to paint again 💗

[@dhags5]

A sign of hope that you are able to paint! Praying for peace for all of Ukraine!

[@JA-ed1tj]

Here in the USA we are praying for Ukraine daily.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi Iryna - happy to help in even some small way - hope you stay save - we are all thinking of you and hoping this madness comes to and end soon. - Take care.

[@easternsecrecy9777]

Bless your heart from Texas, Iryna. The whole world is on your side.

I'm a new fan thanks to Jenna Rainey's recommendation. She was right, you're awesome! Thank you

I just found you & love your loose work. ❤️

So beautiful. I painted it!! Thank you.

You’re welcome 😊

The Daffodils..I wandered lonely as a cloud. That floats on high o 'er vales and hills,When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils......W. Wordsworth.

[@neilphelps8618]

brilliant painting - can’t wait to have a go myself

[@kathyniemic2977]

Short and sweet...enjoyed your demo!

[@burpolicious]

I live in a city, with parks and nearly wild green belts. When people clean their flower beds in the spring, they sometimes toss the scraps and clumps into the nearby woods, rather than pack them for disposal by the city. A little naughty, but the squirrels enjoy eating the broken/damaged bulbs. Sometimes , the bulbs survive, and take hold, resulting in random blooming tulips, lilies, and daffodils.

[@alkagarg2555]

Thankyou Paul for a wonderful short video

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@janetpeck6964]

I hope your Dad is okay Paul. My elderly Dad is going for a nasty procedure today. He's 90. I found your daffodil watercolour painting very relaxing to watch. There are many of tgem in the garden so to take my mind off things I think I'll pop in to my garden Studio and have a go! Thanks again. Enjoy your beer. 👏🤗😊

[@soniachahal139]

Beautiful tutorial. I love daffodils. Such a cheerful flower. I will try this today. On an overcast day, will bring some cheer with Daffodils. Thank-you Paul. 🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖 Good luck and good health to your dad🥰

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much Sonia!

[@janejohnstone5795]

Yes,..all daffodils..are grown from bulbs....some nature lover, has planted them on purpose,..which is nice...

[@m.mccready9976]

Just discovered your website after seeing your comment to Steve Mitchell on Mind of Watercolor. I enjoyed the daffodil demo and look forward to viewing many more of your videos. Thanks from Idaho.

[@jingyan3827]

Enjoyed so much! Love your matching T shirt!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Cheers!

[@MadCatMyrtle]

Gorgeous painting!!! ❤️. Daffodils do make seeds if left. These will blow on the wind and set seed, creating bulbs. That’s why you get really random ones appear in strange places!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Good to know! - thanks!

[@giselab.817]

Oh, I didn't know. Thank you ❤

[@easternsecrecy9777]

How interesting. It's too hot for them where I live, so I will enjoy vicariously.

[@missmishpot]

We have loads of them where we live (North Georgia, US). They spread each year and pop up in surprising places! We call them “March flowers” locally since they bloom in early March even though we know they’re actually daffodils. They are the delightful first signs of spring. So pretty.

[@karenhoward303]

@@easternsecrecy9777 where do you live? They grow in Louisiana pretty far south.

[@almurphy1963]

God Bless your dad! Best of health and happiness to him in his new home. Thank you for sharing your talents with everyone. I am looking forward to trying the daffodil this week. They are one of my favorites - but they don't show up at home till late April/Early may

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much!!!

[@cherylthomas2459]

God bless your dear daddy. Thank you for this beautiful tutorial. She is my favorite flower! I always think that when you find random flowers it’s because of an old homestead that was once there and all that remains are the daffodils 🌼

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! Cheers!

Yellow is my favorite color. This flower made me feel full with spring. 💛💛💛

[@PinkLady-uk1kj]

Hi Mr Clark ! I just discover you, I am a beginner of several years... (!) and very happy to have tried, and suffered a lot, with my first daffodil with you. Thank you so much for your generosity, it is very rare those times in France where we have many talentuous pros but not sharing their art like you do. Why ? I dont know. It is a supplementary difficulty but also an entertainment for english understanding !!!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Splendid good fun. Thank you.

[@18eleanor]

Fun. Thank you. Good luck to your dad. It's not an easy decision to make. Once they settle in, they do start to actually enjoy making friends and doing daily activities. Especially if they are with other old friends from their town. Here, in Iowa, the retirement homes are full of people each other grew up with and have known all their lives. So they're surrounded by old friends. Good luck

[@jakascott]

They come up in abundance in the US every spring, and yes there are clumps of them in strange places. Most of the time they were blub planted many years ago by "homesteader's" who, for what ever reason, abandoned their homes. The homes with time and neglect rotted and fell down leaving only some beautiful flowers to mark the passing of time each spring.....We also have Iris's and Day Lilly's that bloom unattended along country roads later in the summer. Love your Daffodil painting, thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with us!🙂

Hi Paul, lovely daffodils. Squirrels dig up flowers from one area and replant them elsewhere. I've been "gifted" some lovely daffodils and tulips from the little beasties.

Yellow is my favourite colour - I love seeing the daffodils pop up each year. Such a hopeful, heart-lifting sight. And the crocus that usually appear alongside them are such pretty flowers. Thanks for this loose painting, Paul. It's lovely to see some quicker paintings. I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old - so time to do anything is short 😆 xxx
