You are probably the only KZbinr that I click “like” during the advertisement. What a wonderful surprise yo have a video today! Blessings to you and Margot. Now I’m gonna watch the video. Lol.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Love that! - thanks J!

[@magdajanuszewska37]

I allways do the same.

[@melissaamyx2196]

I also click like before the video even starts! Paul is so awesome!

[@stampinturtles]

@@melissaamyx2196 yes. He was one of the first videos I watched to learn to watercolor. I found a lot of helpful tips, joyful commentary, and just a fun time. Now I wait eagerly for Wednesday.

I wasn't expecting a tutorial today on youtube since I know you do them every two weeks. Thanks so much however for this marvellous painting with fantastic colors. The colors you choose make the painting look out of this world. Many thanks.

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@cavasodyssey8077]

We’d almost forget watercolour is pure fluid dynamics. What a great display of creativity in this tutorial. Thank you so much for this, as always!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much for watching as always!!!!!!

[@beenadevicr]

Loved it, What can I use if I don't have the ink and the granulating liquid? Thanks Paul.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

The Granulating fluid is not important and just use your watercolours instead of the ink.

[@user-tc1pf8zi8k]

OMG !!!!!!!!! SUCH A WONDERFUL SURPRISE! It switched my today's gloomy mood into cheerful. Like a unannounced dear guest with a gift. And this painting is absolutely amazing, my favourite! All these bright colours and so loose, so professional !!!! I hope it can be done with a limited palette, too (by premixing the colors).

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wonderful! ... have fun!

Hi Paul, can you please explain what exactly you did to make the watercolour pours? Did you literally just mix water with paint from tubes? Btw, I was at one of your Sunday workshops back in June! You drove a couple of us to go get lunch. Not sure if you remember :) Anyways, looking forward to trying this technique. Thanks, Nora

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi Nora - yes remember you well - All I did was squirt some paint into the pot direct from the tube and then mixed in water and gave a good stir!

[@glendapowers28]

Ditto to all comments above!! Didn't think that I would like this technique until I see you do it! Amazing!! Love your freedom in painting. Something to aspire to.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much!

[@suel4269]

I love this technique! Can you save the paint in those containers and reuse? I have some I got at the Dollar Tree with caps. Probably should label the colors. I have found by watching Jean Lurssen that granulation medium works better with alot of ink. Doesn’t seem to affect Watercolor paint.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi Sue, thanks and yes you can!

[@mikegrant4424]

[@beckywebster90]

This is the most interesting approach ( I'm kind a newby). I've only done the birch trees with masking tape over them for a wash for the background (poured out). Along with Karen Rice, you are now my 2nd WC tutor on YT. I'll have to look in to your website for online classes. I fear YT is getting a little too political and they may lose their license to stay up and going.(just what I've heard). I use it mainly for art tutorials. Oh yes.... just remembered. The Mind of Watercolor on YT is also a cool one. Very interesting approaches. 👌

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much Becky’ I like the mind of watercolour too 😁

[@annika8877]

Hi Paul, this looks really magical, can't wait to try it myself! I was recently buying some new art supplies after watching your videos, like a white pencil and more 100% cotton paper for those beautiful wet in wet techniques. I also bought some Alizarin-Crimson from Schmicke (what a great color!) but I got a bit concerned about its lightfastness. Do you still recommend to use it or are there some alternatives that you could suggest? Thanks again for your all the tutorials and greetings from Germany!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi Annika - thanks very much and check out this video as I talk about Alizarin Crimson: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3rQYWSeh5hompo

[@eirenmist2301]

Beautiful painting and excellent instruction; nevertheless, I am very disappointed. Usually, you have all this wonderful thematic introductory commentary and visuals to sort of put us "into the picture" so to speak, whether it's a walkabout in a foreign country or something closer to home. So when I read the title "Watercolour Using the Pour Technique," I fully expected you to begin the video standing out in the rain or trudging through a stormy countryside without an umbrella, water dripping down your face. You missed the opportunity! 😉

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Lol!!! - I need to think harder!!!

[@joystar7772]

Hello Paul Clark! :) I tried this but got stuck right off. How do you mix 1/2 and 1/2 water with the watercolor? I have tubes and tried that but couldn't get the ratio right. I also have watercolor in pans. Neither worked out well for me. Is there a technique that you use to get the 50-50% ratio right? or any tips you can provide would be appreciated. Apologies if this is an ignorant question but need some guidance with how it's done. Would like to try this. Does it require a lot of paint to do this? Thank you.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

The half and half are just rough guides - just try and mix an equal amount of paint and water together in a small jar.

When this started, the idea of 'pouring' watercolor, I was ready to say I dislike this one. However, I love the result. I can never see me (as realistic and detailed as I am) pouring paint, I love the pipettes!! and have just ordered some. I can't wait to play with this.

[@ElleVancouver]

Paul, what is the brand of pastel pencils you use? About pouring...do you squirt a dollop of colour out of a tube then add water and mix until a milky consistency? (I have tried acrylic pouring but never watercolour.) You always make your paintings look so easy and effortless but the magic you make w your paintings is harder than it looks but I have to give this a go!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hiya - I use the Faber-Castell Pit pastel pencils but the white one is usually a Stabilo CarbOthello.... and yes, a squeeze of tube paint into the jar them add water with the pipette.

[@amyrubio7069]

Paul- I need help with the ink. I have purchased what you’ve suggested but do not get the same reaction. My ink “spiders” out beautifully at first, but that dissipates to a blob once dried. Do I need a less water? Should I wait for the paper dampness of when we add salt to our painting? I appreciate suggestions

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi Amy - it could be a case of less water - just practice on an old sheet of watercolour paper, simply blobbing the ink on - waiting for the water to dry at different stages - good luck!
