How to Paint a Hurricane Lamp in your Sketchbook in Watercolour

[@kimberlyanne8055]

Please please do more sketchbook demos!!! Using watercolor sketchbook as a learning tool and this was hugely helpful. Want to do hundreds of these as a learning process- a bit smaller and takes some of the "perfectionism" of using a larger piece away. Can really focus on techniques that way. Your work is amazing and you are a good teacher!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks .... and will do!

[@yesimk.7708]

I love your videos Paul, they are really very helpful for us all. And the samples from your facebook group are lovely and inspiring. Thank you 🌹

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you like them!

[@sueking3870]

I feel that the lamp you have painted somehow looks better than the one in the photo. Will definitely try this. Possibly in a winter scene for a Christmas card.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great idea!

[@lisam2537]

I really like this painting. It has given me inspiration to paint it in a wintry scene. Thank you! The paintings from your Facebook group are wonderful. I love that everyone chose different types of lights in different settings.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure 😊

[@marytesta3003]

I always enjoy your humor! Thank you Margot for safely getting that light ale to Paul😂 Line and wash appeals to me for some reason. This lantern is so pretty. Small/sketchbook painting are less overwhelming. I hope to see more sketchbook tutorials. Thank you as always for your dedication to artists worldwide.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome! ... and yes, more to come!

[@theresenelson4281]

Another brilliant tutorial!! Showing us your sketching tips is so helpful!! Thanks si much Paul

Great paintings everyone! Loved them all! What a great tutorial Paul! Loved the sketching, the inking and of course the old faithful splattering!!! 😊 I really appreciate all you do for us! Thanks so much for lighting up our lives with your kindness and generosity, the smiles and laughter, your guidance and inspiration to learn watercolor painting with all your tips and techniques. Lifting my iced tea, “cheers”.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Lovely to hear Laina .. thanks so much!

[@lesleyanderson3662]

Thanks again Paul, another great tutorial. It's great to have some quick sketches among the longer more detailed projects. I never used to like line and wash but im developing a love for them. 😊

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear Lesley!

[@deanlambert4684]

What a nifty sketchbook line and wash. The Facebook groups artwork at the end is always great to see. Thanks Paul, I really appreciate your videos.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear thanks!

[@meeraahuja1594]

As we celebrate Deepavali (a string of deeyas- lamps) the Festival of Lights in India, it is so appropriate to paint a lantern. Wishing everyone a very happy Deepavali. A friend lives in Florida. It is otherwise A paradise with all those lovely fruits and palm trees and beaches except for the hurricanes. Thank you for another wonderful watercolour Wednesday.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much 😊

[@eboni29YT]

You've breathed life into a simple object with your masterful use of line and wash. I expected the plastic card trick :-) to achieve the textured effect on the rocks contrasting thorny rock and rounded lantern, but anyway you added depth and engaging realism to the scene without it. This sketch has taught me a nice example about the importance of capturing the essence of a subject. Thank you!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much!

[@Kate-uz7oh]

I enjoyed watching this video so much. I appreciate that you showed your drawing process first. I would love to see more of it. Thank you for your inspiration.👍

I do bible art journaling and this gives me a great idea. Be the light in the world. 💡 Your instructions are so easy to follow. Thank you for the drawing techniques too. Very helpful. Normally I use Davinci eye app to trace. I think I need to try drawing like this more. Our friend Adela sketches a lot and her art is so recognizable. Hopefully she will post in the group. I do enjoy seeing all the paintings from your students. Each one is beautiful and unique even though they follow your tutorials. I really enjoy your videos and look forward to Wednesdays. I’m going to paint this one in my bible. Have a blessed day and much love to you and Margot. ❤

Another great tutorial!!! Thank you, Paul and Margot!! I love mixed media! Also, thank you for showing the light artwork from the Facebook page! How encouraging for those artists!!!! And, recently I researched the history of Payne's Gray!! What a fascinating history!! Thanks again for the great tutorial!! I'm about to embark on a watercolor of snow on the prairie at late dusk with all the prairie things you would expect - distant buildings, distant fences, tumbleweed against the fences, dots of lights in the distant, pine trees ( yes, not indigenous, but here) and finally an amazing orange, red, yellow, muted blue, and streaks of white full-sky prairie sunset!!! Yikes!! I hope I can do it!! I did a mockup with chalk-pastel pencils. Anyway, I'm going to give it a whirl!!! Your snow tutorials are so helpful!!!

Hi Paul love this. I was art our art group this morning and I often paint or draw lighthouses. Not unlike the lantern they are also symmetrical and I find when I draw them they come out slightly wonky.
