I will be visiting Norway and Lofoten in March so will look for this church. Thanks for this beautiful tutorial.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wow! - you lucky thing! - hope you have a great time!

[@j.b.abraham4175]

Absolutely beautiful! You captured the serenity, mood, and even the remoteness of the church. My favorite is the movie poster.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

So pleased you enjoyed it!

[@AnglimK1]

The Righteous Path indeed! How lovely!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much - glad you enjoyed it!

[@dianecooper6854]

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

[@pantera8298]

Happy Christmas Paul Clarck! Norway is my beautiful home country

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear - thanks!

[@MariaGolikova17]

Thank you, Paul, this is absolutely amazing! The snow on the mountains and the reflection are incredibly beautiful. It seems that this landscape is calm and secluded, but the picture creates an amazing feeling of presence, to such an extent that you feel the northern air. I love these colors, the combination and harmony of cold and warm. Thank you very much! 🎨🖼✨

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it Maria!

[@diannedidomizio52747]

❤learned a lot from your tutorial today Paul ~ My son-in-law is from Sweden and has given me Aquavit on Holidays ~ it is so strong!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wonderful! ... many thanks!

[@stevez9672]

LOL I was just going through photos looking for a potential subject to paint. I thought a water scene (boat, buildings) with a reflection would be fun. However, I wasn't sure how to go about painting reflections in water. So, I thought I’d ask you for a demo. Whoa, you read my mind with your current demonstration! Thank you so very much for not only this demo but all the ones you so very kindly share!!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much Steve - glad you enjoyed it!

[@magdalenagorniak2193]

OMG!!!! That film poster. It’s hilarious. ‘Up The Righteous Path’. Go on, Paul, I bet it’d be a hoot of a film. 😅 And the painting is fabulous. I love the mountains. So atmospheric. Thank you for the tutorial and the laugh. 😅👍😉 The paintings at the end are lovely. So much talent on our FB group. 😃

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

[@GretchenBender-zl8nw]

Good Wednesday morning ! What an incredible painting , It’s mesmerizing watching you paint ! I wanted to paint this one in the group so I can’t wait to give it a go , I love using Mars Black ! Thank you for the little tid bit of information on the church! I love seeing the video in the end , thank you !! I had my darned foot reconstructed on Monday so paintings will take much longer , I can’t stand for long only using a scooter or crutches and can’t bear weight for 6weeks ! It’s a doozy ! Watercolor Wednesday is good therapy for me , and something to look forward to during my recovery! Thank you again !! I want to wish you and Margot a very Merry Christmas and a Happy healthy and blessed new year !

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Many thanks Gretchen and same to you! .... happy recovery!

Magnifico.Grazie per la condivisione.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Grazie too!!!

[@beatmessify]

and just after watching your video, KZbin suggested the one in which King Charles III talks about the artistic talents of the various members of the royal family. Watercolour seems to be a royal hobby. The documentary is called "Royal Paintbox". An hour went by very quickly! What a lovely afternoon today: I'm delighted.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Not seen it ..... I'll check it out, thanks!

Lovely, as usual. Thanks for all the valuable tips, I’ll give it a go as soon as I can (am falling behind with your last two tutorials but I can’t miss them, they’re too good not to give them a try!) Your humour gives your videos that little extra which makes them so enjoyable to watch. Well done! 👏👏

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much - glad you enjoyed it!

[@jilld8787]

Wonderful tutorial! I do believe your paint and brushes are magical! 😉🥰

[@sanctityjohnson289]

This is absolutely stunning!! 🗻 Dark, moody, isolated and serene. Thank you so much for filming and sharing this. I would love to be able to paint like this one day, but unfortunately, I think it might take me at least another 10 or more years of practice. In the meantime, I'll continue to live vicariously through your videos. 🏞️⛪

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You can do it! ... and many thanks!

[@jilliandane3737]

An elegant painting! Thank you so much. Such great colors and techniques. Hope you are having a wonderful Christmas time while preparing for the Christmas. Wishing you and yours the best of the season. Hope you will be painting for the holidays.

Merry Christmas from Georgia, USA! Thank you for another wonderful painting! This is simply beautiful. I always think each week that this one is my favorite and then you post another video and it suddenly becomes my favorite. I don’t think I could pick just one favorite for the year! Thank you and Margot for sharing your time, talent and perspective with us each week.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much! ... and happy Christmas to you over the pond in Georgia!

A Beautiful painting ! I enjoyed watching at home this week with my recuperating mother. I found it very calming and still painting and loved the reflections. And I like finding a new use for my credit card!! 💳

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wonderful! - many thanks!

[@KITTYSASYA]

I really enjoyed the outtakes from the FB. Everyone has their own twist on your painting. Thanks for the video. Movie poster was hilarious. Careful with the Aquavit -- you need to have a fire and a cat curled on your lap to fully enjoy;)

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Awesome, great comment, many thanks!

[@VickiGuler]

Thank you Paul for another amazing tutorial! As a beginner you make everything look so easy, however I have learned so much from your tutorials and I am even proud of a few of them. I tell my husband every Wednesday that I have a “date with Paul” as I eagerly wait for new tutorials every week! I wish you and Margo a very blessed Christmas and look forward to painting along with you in the new year!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear and lovely comment ..... thanks so much and a very merry Christmas to you too!

[@Sherlock2022]

I was surprised when I did this one that it made the group cover photo! There were a few differences in your approach which I, with hindsight would have used: masking fluid, card technique and softening after spraying. Thanks for featuring mine in your video,too. Merry Christmas to you and Margot!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad it was helpful! .... and to you!

[@pokey3010]

This was so astonishing to watch, my first thought was why is he painting the mountains black! I understand now and it all looks so real and beautiful. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas, I hope Santa is very good to you!! LOL 😃

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much - glad you enjoyed it!

[@LindaKing-nq6ut]
