Paul, this was nothing short of stunning! I love the effect the cling film gave but mostly how you refined the rock afterwards. And those colours, oh my. You really spoil us with these tutorials ❤️

[@herbst777]

My new favorite !

[@daveaquilante4158]

Thank you for this tutorial Paul! I love the variety of techniques used here and your mastery of them. You are becoming one of my favorite watercolor artists on KZbin. Thank you once again for all you do!

[@shooverable]

Thanks Paul! Playing catch up with you. Yet another super afternoon of music and painting. Your greatly appreciated.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks for listening - and the tip!

[@lemonade708]

Paul, I am completely in awe of the texture on your rock arches. Such a stunning painting. Thanks for the instructional video as always.

[@annansong7492]

This channel is so underrated. You should have over a million subscribers, thank you Paul!

[@Doodkapje]

The quick color sketch already had me,... so much vibrancy and atmosphere, love it! Thanks again, Paul!

[@cheryldavis9912]

Hi Paul and Margot, 🌸Thank you for taking the time to reply to my message last week, that was very kind of you. Today I have just returned from my Mums house, trying to go through years of memories and belongings, sadly I will have to do this many times before the house will be empty of any reminders of my dear Mum. I was only thinking this morning that with all the events happening around this sad world of ours, I take comfort from knowing that in and through all this that God is my strength and rock. So when I came back from Mum’s with my car full of memories, I decided to first pop the kettle on and sit down to watch your tutorial..... and to my delight you painted ‘Rocks’! I had a few tears and felt comforted, Gods timing is always perfect. Then I saw a news article about many of the Ukraine people are returning to their homes after finding out that most of the mainstream media are reporting false information about the incursion on Ukraine! Thank you again and my very best wishes and prayers for you and all your family. 🙏🏼🦋🌻

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great comment and thanks for sharing!

[@polgara28]

I think I might actually get up the nerve to give this one a go! So beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to show us how to paint and for such inspiration! ❤️
