How to Paint a Village Church in Watercolour ... on a Cycling Tour!

[@Imma_rose2]

Lovely church painting. You always make me smile 😊

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear!

[@AP12BG]

Only one word repeated many times! Lovely, lovely, lovely, can’t get enough of your painting.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@chrystalfrost1775]

Love your humour and the fact that you are not one of those pretentious painters. You always pick beautiful subjects too. How about a canal boat coming through a bridge next time?

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great suggestion! - it's on the list!

[@robertcook2572]

My favourite part was the superb impression of the small wooden tower atop the end of the church. I feel that the accuracy of the drawing was crucial here.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Your right Robert - the perspective is vital!

[@stampinturtles]

What a blessing you are to all of us artists wanting to learn to paint more beautiful paintings. I really love this video. So glad you are able to go on your bike ride. At first I thought you meant motorcycle 🏍 lol. I pray God is blessing you with as much joy as you give to all of us.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀 ... as always Jacqueline!

[@gemmatait4157]

Grazie Paul per questi video da sogno e per la tua sempre simpatica presenza !

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Grazie Gemma!

[@cookwithanoopfoodtravelsho4878]

its a joy everytime i watch your videos and love your humour

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

So kind - thanks!

[@PattyCunninghamPA]

I forgot for a minute how wonderful you are! Thoroughly enjoyed this demo!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it Patty!

[@lindaking9222]

Beautiful as always …love the textural effects especially the forward grass on the left

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much!

[@susanH1986]

I so enjoy your videos and your sense of humor!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear!

[@Doodkapje]

Amazing tutorial, as always! Thank you. And what a lovely granulation up in those trees, who doesn't love French Ultramarine?!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

So true ... one of my recent favourites!

[@vickiarn]

Love the colors in this painting, and for some strange reason, graveyards give me a feeling of peace. Condolences on the loss of your Queen; thanks again for taking the time to do these videos.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks for that and I feel the same about graveyards!

[@ladyhecate9450]

Loved the thatched cottage. Enjoyed the ride.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

So glad!

[@ladyhecate9450]

@@ArtbyPaulClark Your painting turned out lovely. I favor British landscape and thatch roof housings. I watch Midsomer Murders because of the quaint houses, horse farms, country side, etc. that one gets a glimpse of. I am from the USA and we just don't have such beautiful atmospheric scenery as you Brits have.

[@jerryeby3386]

Sherry here, Paul you always have the best time. When painting or on tour. That's the way it should be. Don't change a thing. Loved this painting.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks Sherry - glad you enjoyed it!

[@philholst3023]

Paul, my sincere condolences on the loss of your Queen. She was a grand lady and a blessing to many many people around the globe. Phil from Ohio

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you Phil - that's very kind of you!

[@lesleyholliday7708]

Awww...Paul! Love this video. My dear late mum-in-law.an her ancestors came from this area. We managed to take her all around those very same places before she passed away several years ago now. She never knew where she'd come from until I did her family history. She loved it and seeing today's tutorial has brought much happiness on many levels. Thank you 🙂

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi Lesley - that's great to hear, so pleased you enjoyed it!

[@diannedidomizio52747]

❤☀️Beautiful ! Love the vibrancy of the trees!!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@janL7320]

The way you showed the actual paint colors is helpful to me to be able to match colors (or get close). Thanks!

[@almutames7608]

Another great tutorial and story to go along with it. Very entertaining and a lot to learn. I never thought that one day I would like to paint landscapes with all the buildings and churches standing around. But with your great way of teaching you convinced me that it's fun. Many thanks once more! My heartfelt condolences on the death of the Queen.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks Almut - always appreciated

[@RicheUK]

As always, a pleasure to watch!!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@nancywhite2014]

What a lovely variety of scenery to paint from your tour! Thanks for sharing your trip. So sorry for her majesty’s passing.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks for watching Nancy!

[@rosemarydanson4158]

What a lovely little church. You and your buddies look like you had a great time, and keeping fit. What lovely little gems we have in this country, we just need to find them.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

So true - thanks Rosemary!

[@nickelazoyellow7360]

It looks so easy when you do it! For starters, my splatter would've been all over the clouds and roof.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

... mine does too!

[@namitakhurana823]

Your tutorials are therapeutic..thanks for sharing these with us ..

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you like them!

[@56murphie]

Toujours un plaisir de vous suivre....

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Merci!

[@trishdescafano2761]

As always you never disappoint me. I love watching you paint! Thanks Paul. I am thinking that Margo filmed all of you on your riding adventure!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi Trish - oh no - we all love our lady folk but, never allowed on the lads Leisurely Riding tours!

[@ralucacristina7394]

Thank you, again a lovely painting and a delightfull video. I am truly addicted to your videos in a very good way😁

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Nancy-ii5yo]

Beautiful! I so look forward to your 'painting lessons'. Thank you always.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bjornjohansson4911]

Thanks again Mr Clark for a good and lovely tutorial/movie. Always warm, with a bit of humor. I love your reverence for life and goodness in your paintings, as well as for us students. In this very version, I notice "The" Queens portrait beside you, and I appreciate this very much, even as a swedish citizen. I have loved your Queen any day due to her warmth and cleverness, as well as her decent humor. I cannot remember any mistake at all during her time, from very young years. "Long to reign over us" is as written just for her, and may perhaps those words became fulfilled and should stay and end with her. I watched mostly of the funeral, and felt tears coming many times, until I saw King Charles fighting, I burst eventually and cried good tears. I managed my mothers funeral a year ago, but this was just too much to fight. Crying cleans somewhat. I wish King Charles III every luck in the future, and indulge him a new anthem though the present is so overly associated to Elisabeth II. Just some thoughts of mine. Long live the King, and the kingdom. At least in Sweden we miss you as a close partner in the European Union. I think it is a splendid time to honor you islanders, by including worcestershire (a word don't meant to be pronounced by humans) sauce in tonights dinner somewhat. I happen to have a half bottle of that, eh seasoning, but not sure how to use it at best. It can make things better or worse, but at least it makes anything otherwise, and I could use it as a substitute of ketchup at fried eggs and potato/bacon harsh, without doing any stupid. Often it spices up salad sauces, and others, and perhaps only God knows what it is in the bottle. However. This is one reason why I love The Kingdom, and feels for the people of yours. If I were younger I would have tried specialities as haggis, and puddings of the strange, just for knowing, and perhaps loved most of them. We share the same love for our landscapes, and the ability to make jokes of anything, to make us feeling better. So to anyone reading this: Please receive my condolences for the late beloved Queen, and my personal love to yours.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Another one of your brilliant comments Bjorn - thanks for sharing and your lovely comments about the Queen. - all the best!

[@vincemedlock]

This reminds me very much of the spirit of a church back home in Tennessee. It’s the last remaining vestige of the now-abandoned community where most of my ancestors settled after moving inland from the Carolinas in the early 19th century. I’ll definitely have a go at it when I find a good picture. Thanks a million for the tutorials and inspiration!
