How to Paint a Scottish Loch in Watercolour

[@TwinkleBelle27]

Dear Paul, my husband calls you Paulie.…(like a close friend). He’s of Italian heritage. Need l say more? Anyway we LOVE everything you paint. And you have become very large part of our watercolor journey together. Thank you … we could not have done this without you. You are a treasure! ❤

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much, that's very kind .... say hi to your hubby for me!!

[@nancydavidson4899]

I love that you and your husband are painting together ❤

[@edithtsacle5257]

@@ArtbyPaulClark If I may, I want to "second" that comment by TwinkleBelle27 (except for the "Paulie" part 😉). Hubby and I also eagerly look forward to your weekly painting sessions as we are on a watercolor journey together too in our "old" age... We so admire your great talent! ❤

[@beatmessify]

Tip is French for "pourboire", literally "for a drink". So the next drink is on me ha ha ha!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Love that and many thanks .... a BIG merci!!!

[@tammyh.8454]

Full marks Paul. Really good tutorial again . Thanks for providing these lessons they really buck up the day.👍👍👍

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you like them!

[@josephcollins6033]

Ahhh, watching this again today, before I actually paint. My Hansel loved his little glass of Scotch every evening when he came in from " DE GETTING DE BEDT GUYS OFF DE STREET". One glass, filled to about where you filled yours. Made me smile, Paul.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great memory J!

[@Draw_together]

Very beautiful landscape!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Many thanks!

[@stampinturtles]

lol “painting from jail” copyright is no joke. I literally was called out by a photographer for using her photo to paint from. All ended well when I gave her credit for the photo. She ended up liking my channel and subscribing. This painting looks beautiful. Makes me want to visit there. I may try painting this one. I’ve been busy with commissions. One that was 4 feet by 2 feet. The biggest I’ve done! Just delivered it yesterday. She cried and was so happy with it. Thank God! Always a blessing when they love the painting. ❤ I’m grateful for you and your channel. You made me fall in love with watercolor. 😊 I pray for you to continue to heal and for God to prosper you and Margot. Much love from Alabama.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much Jacquline - yes, I always try to be as careful as possible with copyright issues ...Great to hear your commission was loved!!!

[@DonReeves-r5f]

Nice way to wake up on Wednesday morning to your weekly tutorial (6 am here in northern BC Canada). Lovely picture

[@melanieelliott2795]

[@jodyhazlett9752]

Love the story you tell with each tutorial, it's not just the excellent explanation of painting, but I look forward to each weeks T-Shirt and beverage!! Thanks Paul, much appreciated, you make watercolour painting fun!

Always my favorite part of Wednesday! I live in NW PA, in the US; and this looks exactly like Kinzua Reservoir, just up the road a bit from me. I can't wait to try this. I have tried painting the reservoir many times over the years, but have never been happy with my results. I learned a few new things today, I cant wait to try out Thank you!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Sounds great! - have fun!

[@lisam2537]

Another beautiful painting I shall be trying. Thank you!!! Have a wonderful day.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Paul, with every tutorial that you teach me, I become more free to pursue subject matter of my own that I want to paint. This is your greatest gift to me. Teaching me enough skills to grow my own wings and fly. Thank you very very much for all that you do to set us free.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear as that's exactly the reason I like doing these tutorials!

[@priyangshuchanda8770]

Leaving a comment after a couple of months. Missed those Wednesdays for a short span. It is pleasant to have you back with those mesmerizing paintings of the scotish landscape. Well, your uniqueness lie in your ability to exude the mellow beauty of the nature through your paintings. It is so esthatic - how you engrave those elements. Have a great day.......💚

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

... and to you and welcome back!!!

By gum Paul brilliant, to watch a blank piece of paper come to life and turn into such a beautiful painting is pure magic i will surely watch this again i just love the way your brush flits across the painting bringing everything together bit by bit and the shadows so real, thanks again, looking forward to next Wednesday

[@dianarowny9192]

I love the look of the purple pigment in this! Also, I enjoy seeing the map marking where the scene is located. Thanks!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jilliandane3737]

Thank you Paul for another one of your superb paintings. I love the combination of colors that makes this lovely scene so authentic. Everything is painted so realistic looking from the trees, the rocks and the shadows.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@josephcollins6033]

Beautiful (of course) and peaceful and subtle. With the September trip in my face I'm trying to work most every day. I always do too much--paint, colors, brushes, shapes. Yesterday, I did the Values video- the croft, vase and church. Made myself sketch very quickly. Used ONE color. Thought I was going to have to lie down many times, but I did it. I HAD NO IDEA!!!!! When I looked at them this morning they were good! I loved using one color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, dear man!!!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi J, yes using one colour is a great discipline, we did it today in my local class. ... keep up the good work!

[@camilladido7]

Dear Paul, I’m in love with all of your artworks. I’m also in love with Scotland even though I’ve never been there, but I feel myself delle deeply connected with those places and I don’t know why. I love to paint Scottish landscape as well and I’m learning a lot watching your tutorial. Thank you so much. Cheers from Italy

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@suverchadwivedi7569]

Happy Watercolor Wednesday ! I’m glad you mentioned your colors being different , my greens , burnt umber and yellow ochre always look different, much less vibrant than yours, I just figured it was the lighting ! Thank you always for yet another beautiful tutorial , I love this collection of around the world paintings ! ❤

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks Gretchen, and yes, I'm sure you are right, the lighting can also play a part.
