How to Paint a Fisherman in Watercolour

[@jacquelinemurphy1439]

Just painted my first watercolour ever after stumbling across Paul’s tutorials on KZbin. Never had an art lesson in my life. It wasn’t half bad for a first attempt. It wasn’t perfect but oh the enjoyment I had. Just bought Paul’s book which is fantastic for people like me who have never painted. Thank you Paul for your fantastic teaching.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure 😊 Jacqueline - keep in touch!

You cannot help but feel the peace, quiet and overall serenity when looking at this wonderful piece.

Hi Paul, It is so nice to see this painting and I really love it. This photo is in my country, Myanmar (Burma), among Bangladesh, India, China, Laos and Thailand. It was taken in Inle lake, in the eastern part of Burma. The second largest and situate 3000 ft. above the sea level. People live on the lake and know how to survive there, they row the boat with their leg standing at the age of the boat. They grow many of vegetables and flowers on the floating island. We call them Inthar.
