How to paint a waterfall in watercolour by Paul Clark

[@MeghaFirodiya-vt9ks]

It is very generous of u to share all the tricks

[@andrewc4612]

Very nice work! I've always found water a bit of a challenge in watercolour in the past, but I've been really inspired by watching this video, and as such, now feel more confident about tackling future water-based watercolour projects.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@valerieaubert3161]

Bonjour cher Paul. Je suis vraiment devenue une grande fan de vos leçons. Vous êtes un très grand artiste et vous expliquez si bien. Une bise de France. I live in the north est of France. Les Vosges. Hautes Vosges.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

merci beaucoup Valerie - et restez en contact. J'ai visité votre région de France à plusieurs reprises et j'ai toujours apprécié le séjour.

[@joannabatherson6783]

I can’t believe how many tips and techniques that you have for so many different subjects! Thanks so much for all these videos and showing other paintings at the end is such a bonus!🎨

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome!

[@gailthomas2631]

Wow, what a difference from these waterfalls to 2022 videos. Great

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@ofeliamasoin270]

Perfection does exist after all... Your videos always contain all the right ingredients in a great arrangement, I enjoy them so much, thank you!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you very much Ofelia! - makes it all worthwhile.

[@pcbye167]

So inspiring started painting at 68 and loving it, I bought your book and constantly come back here, really enjoying your videos

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wow, thank you!

[@ianhammond8798]

thank you Paul. Have just discovered your tutorials, and having struggled with masking fluid in my waterfalls, really like your technique. Looks easy but you make it look easy. Ian

[@christaunnasch932]

Beautiful. You're very generous with all those free, informative lessons. With your book as well. When I ordered it I was shocked at how low the price is. I expected double the price because all Artbooks I have seen are out of this world. Shows how humble you are. But then again, you're not American! In my younger years, we were possessed with Kaffe Fassett and his colorful knitted creations. He said at one stage when he set a reasonably low price, people complained. Therefore he doubled the price. No complaints anymore. My [your] book won't be here for Christmas. Postage from London to Australia is still slow. Can't wait! x

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

That's really interesting Christa and a BIG thanks for your continuing support 😀 🎄🎅🏼🌟

[@tonydinicola3893]

Thanks for sharing your talents with us, Paul. It’s a joy just watching you paint. 👌

[@juanitapowell4841]

Love your teaching. The best I have seen! Thank you.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wow, thank you!

[@Goodlife-wb7bd]

Very playful and beautiful. It’s so nice to watch your painting become life.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@brendalazellestephenson2319]

Very impressive and a nice beginning to creating the waterfall I have in mind. Thank you soooo much.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure 😊

[@kellyhalligan1328]

Beautiful, I have learned to paint because of you. I painted the boat, Mexican house, waterfall and this tomorrow. Your advice on using just 3 colors was so helpful! Thanks so much

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wonderful! so pleased Kelly - I I've helped just one person to paint, it's been worth it!!! 👍🏻

[@charlesz8531]

Besides waterfalls and rocks, I got to see how to paint nice and soft foliage. Great!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@sandralyke]

Watching your relaxing videos while I did 5 miles on the stationary bike. Now straight to my studio to use all that I have learned👏🏻👍🏻

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

That's fantastic!!! - that's got to be a first! - the trick now is to try the 5 miles and paint a the same time! 👍

[@janten6554]

Whoooaaa!! I am deeply awed!! Once again I felt glued to the screen while watching you. I felt like time stopped for a moment..my myy...I wonder if I can ever make such a beautiful painting.Im just starting from zero you know and I know nothing about it..but I do want to learn.!!!😊😊😊😊

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀 - keep in touch!!!

[@staredsky]

Your book arrived today, and i quickly read the first part of it. I must say it is for sure the best of the 5 books i have already read about watercolors. Simple and clear like your videos. Well done. I can suggest it to everyone: really worth of the truly affordable price.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

That's great - very chuffed!!! - really hope you enjoy it and you get something from it - let me know how you get on - Paul

[@GH9-r2g]

You make it so lively to paint, thanks 😊

Amazing. It emerges at the end , thought that’s never going to look like waterfall water , but it sure does 😊👍🏻. Thank you 😊

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you and Cheers Sarah! - hopefully you'll have a go?

[@sarahbell4344]

Paul Clark yes I will maybe tmrw. Painted the blue door one from your book yesterday. 👍🏻

[@silked3452]

Hi Paul, I am from Germany and new in painting aquarell... I love it, but I am always searching in KZbin for many many tips... So I found your tutorials and I love it all... So helpful each of them... Big thanks to you... I will follow you 😍😍

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Vielen Dank und willkommen Silke! - So pleased I can help - stay in touch!

[@donnidjaz]

Very informative demo...great choice of subject matter that incorporates a lot of the techniques you have done before showing how each fits into the whole. Very nice...thank you!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad it was helpful Don! - keep in touch!

[@virginiefantini5771]

Thanks a lot. I’ve just discovered your channel and it’s a gel… I.ve and will learn so much!

[@erinchi5735]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and art! I want to watch and learn from all of your videos! ❤️

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome!

[@deborahjoy2013]

Love this one also Paul Clark. I need to pinch myself now and then. If you'd have told me less than 3 months ago that I'd be following along painting with you and getting pretty good results, I'd of laughed out loud!!! I may need to rewind your videos frequently but you break everything down so even a beginner like me can do it. I'm lifting my glass of red wine and saluting you!! Thanks again...Debby from Montana.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Excellent! - delighted to help Debby from Montana.

[@carriepolster399]

Another terrific tutorial! Thank you for giving your time to do these for us!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you like them!

Thank you! Cheers!

[@josephineherrera8508]

I just found you yesterday, and I am thoroughly enjoying the refreshers. I am a watercolorist who a few months ago started painting in pastels as well. I love that you incorporate a mixture of media as well as techniques. Love it!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Many thanks Josephine! ... and welcome aboard. I have a new video every Wednesday so keep in touch!

[@misskimmy9692]

[@annenglish2935]

Ha! Since I've watched you do this amazing painting, my husband thinks I'm ready to try it!!! I'm new and love your videos but haven't yet ventured into landscapes ... even though you make it clear & are a great teacher, ... anyway, thank you for sharing... also loved the extra paintings!!! Beautiful and lovely! Here's to a New Year full of adventures... a California Gramma. : )

[@peggywilliams6011]

Lovely! Thanks for these free lessons!

[@philipdown3147]

Paul thanks for sharing your talent in painting with watercolour, I'm enjoying your videos how you achieve and explains calmly what's needed to get exceptable standards in the picture. Thanks greatly appreciated stay safe

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are very welcome Phil - keep in touch

[@nainas3000]

Thank you so much for sharing your magic. Found you online through your wonderful book. Love the way you simplify and teach, seasoned with humour😃. Looking forward to many more .

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome Naina!- chuffed to hear you have my book - stay in touch!

[@mcmaheshwari7153]

Hi Paul, your videos are lovely. Techniques you use with help of salt, knife, old plastic card, tissue, spray bottle and so on is really a great learning. It looks simple but I am doing practice on these techniques. Best regards. Mahesh

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Many thanks Mahesh!

[@blindchronicles9758]

Amazed by your talent :) Normally do digital manipulations but have started watercolor painting. Love the look of this :) Time to go thru my pictures and try to find one to simplify tonight

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@jilliandane3737]

Thank you for another awesome video and beautiful work of art.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure 😊

[@timothybloomer8287]

Painted this twice today and it's harder than it looks! My eighth Paul Clark picture (not including duplicates) and looking for an easy one next.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi Tim this weeks Spring one should be a little easier!

[@celdfly]

Hi Paul I stumbled across your tutorials on watercolor painting..I'm totally hooked, I love all the tips along the way too!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Awesome, thank you!

[@lisamurphy5007]

Thank you. Water is my favorite outdoor scenery, I have yet to get a handle on painting it. Going to give this a go today

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Have fun!

[@josephineherrera8508]

I just ordered your book. Will also buy one for a friend who is more of a beginner than me. She’ll love it.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

That's great many thanks - let me know how you get on!

[@majoseibanezbargues7870]

I love it 😍😍😍. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure cheers 🤩

[@gracapond]

You are a great teatcher , thank you. Half of my long life I worked in Acoustics- noise control - and an humble advice is to lower the back music, it mixes with your words ( remember the movies when they go to bathroom and open the water taps to avoid the conversations to be recorded, thats true, and the same , in lower degree, hapens with music). But with or without music I love your teaching, sorry if i made some mistakes in the english.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks for that - I agree, on some of my earlier videos the music was too loud - I think it's much better of my more recent videos! - always happy to listen to advice!

[@virginiaadams9793]

Love the ways you fine tune the finishing details. Thank you!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you too Virginia!!

[@garimagupta908]

Learned so much, wish you more power. Keep shinning!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much!

[@suel4269]

Love all the fun techniques. Thank you for sharing.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks Sue - you're always welcome.

[@aprildegele1510]

I have never seen the blade scratching technique but it's brilliant! Something I'm likely to use a lot. Will this work on hot pressed paper? I tend to use that more because it holds more fine details.

[@stuartgregory3623]

Great water fall effect love your technique. Do more thanks

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! Will do!

[@pokey3010]

Awesome love this and i will this today!! Thank you so much

Oh those trees!!! I love everything about them!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks Pat - hopefully you'll give them a try!

[@patirving705]

@@ArtbyPaulClark Absolutely! and I am also taking notes on your "tips" that I can then integrate into everything I do. There is so much you chalk into every demo! Really great "nuggets" of techniques! I think we're following each other on instagram now...hopefully you will see me improve :)

[@juliedavies3481]

Wonderful. So much to learn! I am enjoying watching you fly through these demonstrations but would love to see you paint one of your fabulous full paintings in real time. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge. I have yet to attempt anything ‘loose’ , I like it but don’t think I can do it 😂

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Will do! - and I'm sure you can do it - just practice splashing around with the paint first, not trying to paint anything in particular. I've got a video coming up soon on loosening up, so stay in touch!

[@yvettepaul2002]

Great. Love the greens. This is one to try. Thank you Paul

[@yvettepaul2002]

Also the rocks and tissue! And pencil. Great techniques

Thanks a lot and well spotted on the Aira Force!

[@danchristy9956]

Please describe the “famous scalpel “. Must it be a scalpel blade? Is sharpness necessary? Would other scraping edges work also?

[@abidaarshadgoinglgiob8091]

It’s lovely paul

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Many thanks!

[@zmermaid3]

Wonderful lesson, as always, Paul. Thank you for your generous and fabulous sharing. I'm wondering what is that wonderful palette you're using? I love the segregated sections for mixes and the slanted paint wells. Can you tell me the maker and retailer? thanks again!

[@zmermaid3]

Hi again....I found that wonderful palette.....and purchased it from a company in australia. Can't wait to get it. Thanks again, Paul.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi Suzanne - Hope you enjoy using it!!!

[@saravillicana4143]

Clear and nice, as usual
