I think you should get some kind of Nobel Prize for making Wednesdays wonderful! Thank you, once again.

[@GretchenBender-kw2js]

Up early once again before the grandkids get here so I can get my painting in ! Funny thing , I’ve found myself talking with your accent after a tutorial ! Thank you again from WA !

[@susanhendrickson2400]

Love it! As to your question about different words… 35 years ago on a trip to the UK, our group saw a sign at a restaurant: NO FOOTBALL COACHES. Meaning no soccer buses. We of course thought they were banning NFL coaches. 😅

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Lol! - love that!

[@slanejohnson]

You know Paul, your happy hands painting reminds me back in the old days when we could buy 5 postcards like your paintings for a dollar. Thanks for your trips down memory lane.

[@neilcarpenter8457]

Wow another brilliant tutorial Paul so skillful I will watch this over again a few times to absorb the technique and the way that you work, brilliant, enjoy ibiza

[@佐藤秀夫-t1r]

毎回素晴らし絵をありがとうございます。いつも楽しみにして拝見させて頂いております。

[@philippeferrand8591]

Magnifique !! Un coup de baguette magique et elle reprend la route !!! Encore bravo et merci

[@bamarola]

All of the good stuff already mentioned and nothing to add to that so only my deepest gratitude for sharing remains. Have a wonderful time in `ibiza.

[@shirleylentz862]

That is amazing! I learned to drive in a 1937 Chevrolet. Beautiful.

[@blancaanderson8616]

You are great there no words to say thanks

[@jilliandane3737]

Thank you for this beautiful painting of the desert. I brings on a feeling of the desert. I always learn something new watching your tutorial. Another word for car is automobile. For desert it is wilderness, for cactus - prickly pear.

[@RemoteHogg10]

Great subject again! Thank you sir…

[@wendyleader8905]

Beautiful painting thank you for sharing

[@dianecooper6854]

Just love this old rust bucket. Again some terrific reinforcement of principles of contrast and light. Shade and dark. Thankyou. Going to give it a bash.

[@philipdawson7132]

Loved it. I agree with you on old style cars. Far more character and not a wind tunnel in sight. Hope you have a great time in Ibiza, my niece has lived there some years now in Siesta and has a great life.

[@AbiNomac]

Wow the detail is beautiful and so is the song.

[@chrisostapiw8218]

Wow!!! I love it! I will certainly try this one. Thank you so much!

[@chukkyinsights1459]

Thanks Paul for your tutorials You are a great teacher❤

[@LindaKing-nq6ut]

Marvellous painting of an “old rust bucket”..& nice to see the paintings of other painters….enjoyed 10 winters in Az with all the desert plants etc….safe travels

[@jerryeby3386]

I love it. Think I learned to drive in one of these. Awesome job. Sherry

[@cajsheen2594]

Great! But for the cacti and MAKE of car, this could be our back garden, you know! Thankyou! XXX

[@pokey3010]

I really enjoyed this, I love old cars. Can't wait to try this, when my eyes are fixed. lol Thank you I hope you have fun on your trip.

[@MrsBarnabas]

Paul. hope you and Margot are having a great time with your students in Ibiza! This was a great video to watch. It's made me realise that it's about time I revised my very rusty techniques. I've been busy with a big project for the last 3 months and done almost all pencil sketches when I've (somewhat guiltily,) taken some very necessary time to go out, get some fresh air, and do some art just for me! The project's almost done, and the weather's getting better, so I'm really looking forward to being free to get out and paint before it gets too hot. So, yes, almost time for some revision. Many thanks for this much-needed 'revision lesson' as well as a very enjoyable 30 minutes watching magic happen before my eyes. 😊

[@mocarver]

Great art work, very nice music...glad you still have hair!

[@grahamramsden9932]

Agree with J below. Easily the best artist on You Tube. Pity youre not on terrestial TV Im sure you would have good viewing figures. You have a gift of putting it across really well. Keepem coming Paul. Cheers.

[@MsMoniqueWilson]

Love how this turned out!!

[@kimginther3238]

Thank you so much for this, Paul. I followed along and painted this for my Dad for his 70th birthday. I couldn't have done this without your leadership. Love your videos!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear - cheers Kim!

[@raylenegilmore4832]

Love this..I am a fan of rusty bikes, mailboxes, tractors,Etc..Loved doing this..GLad I watched it first..I would have had trouble having those colors ready to go!! Thanks Paul..You are the best.. Have a good trip..

[@DutchCreekRanch1]

So fun! I paint at my neighbor’s junkyard sometimes. Rust is a great exercise.

[@paula185]

I am so excited to paint this beautiful rusty old car. What a great tutorial. Thank you so very much.

[@adelebader5373]

Loved the car! Looks pretty handsome out there in the desert.

[@terricogbill3802]

Well , there she is , good ole Rusty ! I’ve been chillaxin with her my whole life . Just had a visit a short spell ago , up the 395 Hwy in Bodie Ghost town .My sister , Kathleen who is a member here also , has Rusty’s sister , Dusty full of Gangster bullet holes , livin in her Ghost town home in Tropico Gold mine , just a quick drive down the road . As they say , Rust never sleeps and old as the hills and twice as Dusty 🌵 Thank you Paul for choosing this lovely gal from my heart ❤️

[@terryfletcher6465]

Looks good enough for a restoration

[@RAS2-tv2ge]

I am trying my best to follow your tips and techniqe, great way of painting so perfect thanks for sharing

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure!

[@ltlove63]

WOW 🤩 this really came out Incredible ❤🌹🙏

[@mchris1020]

Surprised to hear you say that you hadn't painted a saguaro cactus before--have you beat on that since I live in the desert. Loved watching you paint this old rusty car and watching how you add the colors, let them bleed to create the textures of rust. I appreciated the close up of the plastic card technique of creating rocks. I found out that I was scraping rather than pressing down to move the paint. This creates the craggy type rocks that I have had trouble with. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge--have learned so much!

[@sandytorento5048]

Hi Paul, Thank you for an amazing painting can't wait to get started! I've never realized the different words we all use for the same thing and that's for just parts of a car. Hope you Margot everyone will have a great time In Ibiza.

[@elaandersson5888]

Great painting 🚘🌵🤎💙🎨👋

[@eirenmist12]

I would never have thought I could think of a rusty old car as beautiful, but you've given me a new perspective on their intrinsic beauty. Thank you!

[@manonrheault5900]

Have a nice trip in Ibiza😊❤ Beautiful cactus and rocks and car and everything 😊

[@jeanneduncan3522]

Amazing… I love watching your tutorials Paul. Thank you & enjoy your trip. 🙏🏻

[@parthapratimghosh3166]

Marvellous, marvellous, marvellous..................................... painting

[@patriciadupuis9857]

Lorry = truck. People-carrier = mini-van. 4X4 = SUV. Thanks for the fun tutorial!

[@bloedchen]

Thanks Paul, like always for this great tutorial with inspiring tips and tricks. I wish you a wonderful time enjoy the sun and the warm weather together with your students. Have a great time. ;)

[@geoffmitchell6515]

Brilliant Paul thank you

[@romanosarq]

This Is great, i started asome time ago a rusti car but didn't know how to make some textures, now i look your video i have to finish that work. Thank you for your lessons! I'm a great admirer of your paintings.

[@redge9158]

Another great tutorial! I love languages and the saguaro desert also so thank you 🎨 Have fun on your working holiday - you and your tutorials will be missed!

[@swyntopia]

You're a really good teacher. You explaine it you show it you show how to do it. And allways in a very good mood. 🙂 Have you ever painted sciFi, fantasy, steam punk or something the like ?

[@18eleanor]

Awesome. I can't believe you're doing a tutorial on this. I just got done painting an old Ford jalopy, in the desert of Bodie California, US. Quite similar to this. I had painted your lovely rusty tractor, because I live in Iowa and learned so much, I tried an old Ford. It's fun to see what you're doing, and what I did, so that I can improve next time. I didn't do too bad though. I learned a lot from the tractor and this one taught me even more! I love it. Thank you!!

[@marytesta3003]

I almost go into a trance watching you paint. I always thought it would be fun to have an antique car. Thank you and have a fabulous working vacation.

[@tinyfacemcgee9211]

Amazing! I love rusty cars! How about a rusty old lobster boat! I am buying your book, you are a fabulous teacher to learn from! I love the step by step💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great idea, on the list!

[@Fred-Wilbury]

Just came across your channel, totally amazed thanks 😎👌☕️

[@saraswativaidheesh2160]

Another lovely video ! Thank you Paul . I love that you wear a T Shirt to match the painting you are about to teach .

[@jmoss55ish]

Absolutely beautiful Paul!

[@christidoe9431]

I love watching you paint!

[@angelacampion8709]

Such a long time since I've managed to watch one of your demos Paul. I remember seeing all the photos margo put on ages ago and drooling over them. So enjoyed watching this. X

[@berthaudjeanine980]

J avais beaucoup aimé le vieux tracteur bleu et là j adore cette vieille voiture . Merci Paul . Je me régale avec vos vidéos et j attend le mercredi avec impatience 😊

[@brendalittleton8246]

Really enjoyed this. Some great tips and a super result. I am old enough to remember owning rust buckets like that nearly 60 years ago. The difference was that I was driving them. Thanks again. Andy

[@lorriewatson7423]

I just love this! Thank you for the tip on using the card! Rock on with yer bad self!

[@raquibahmed3353]

I follow everyday. Helps, and relaxing.

[@lherzog27]

Wow! Wow! Wow! Makes me almost want to paint an old rusty car! 😉. Amazing how you make the car look like it is 3d. Thanks again!!

[@MoiAussie1]

I absolutely loved painting this. I do a lot of botanicals but I did this for my hubby and he loves it ( he better 🤣🤣). I love your larikin approach and the music made it so fun. I posted it on my Instagram page with credit of course as its not just your art it’s a brilliant learning process and it was well received. It is incredible how you do this for free as I’m learning so much from your videos.I’m good at copying 😂 not at being a watercolour artist. The tractor will be my next non botanical. ❤

[@MoiAussie1]

Btw, another language thingy, your garage or petrol station is a ‘servo’ here in Oz.

[@heronalvarez3600]

Bravo Maestro!

[@ralucacristina7394]

have fun in Ibiza, stay safe and i will miss our weekly virtual meeting. lovely painting, nice subject. Well done for all the paintings at the end of the video. you inspire and transform so many and talented people and i am one of many( not talented) but inspired to start and paint and draw . see you next time, thank you and lovely Margot.❤

[@marythompson9003]

Couldn't resist this one. Was a fun lesson, vibrant colors. Great way to pass a cold afternoon in Michigan, waiting for spring. Thank you!

[@merilyntaplin119]

Thanks

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much!

[@vickiarn]

Thanks, love this one. I love old rusty cars as much as I love old rusty tractors and great music. Have a great time on your trip.

[@OurSeaToSkyTravels]

All of your videos inspire me to get back to paint …one of these days when I manage to get over the fear of white paper. 😅Thank you so much. I love what you do and your cheerful self.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You can do it!

[@patriciamarshall7762]

Loving your work, and all the other contributions ❤

[@johnmarshall2291]

Two great loves of my life - the Sonoran desert (Saguaro cactus) and rusty abandoned vehicles. You have "hit a home run" on this one! This piece will inspire me to start doing my art again after a fairly long dry period. Thank you! You're the best artist I have come across on KZbin.

[@Jasontodd74]

I don’t do watercolor but this is the best I’ve seen. I love it. For sure made me want to try it.

[@vickiarn]

Thanks!

[@joycejohnson7017]

Had so much fun painting this! Thank you!

[@kennethhurst6715]

Mr. Clark I think your paintings are wonderful sir. They inspire to keep a with my artwork thank you so much God bless you.

[@meridadiane]

Especially enjoyed learning all the color mixing for the tones you achieved.

[@labanniere]

Wonderful idea thank you so much, I did not know I could paint such a nice picture... but I did it !!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are welcome 😊

[@lora9664]

Totally random question Paul- do you wear your theme T shirts when you teach live art classes and a follow up question- what do you do with all those T shirts?!!! Lovely painting. I can spot a Paul Clark painting a mile away with your distinctive style! Lovely!

[@jacquibudd9330]

This is amazing as usual. Wish I was coming to Ibiza. Can’t wait to see the Ibiza tutorial later.

[@yoseguin]

Your are indeed an amazing artist/teacher. I am enjoying going through your paintings, especially the antique cars and trucks. I just can’t seem get enough of them. I am learning so much even though I have been painting in watercolor for the past 10 years. Thank you.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@timothywilliamsmith9554]

One of my favorites !!!!!

[@dianeknott3655]

Cool! And great music selection too!

[@PattisArtInnaVan]

Perfect timing!! I've been going over and over in my mind how to paint a rusty old car for a dear friend for Christmas and this is perfect thank you so so much!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad I could help!

[@Olivers-G0mmer]

These tighter, more detailed paintings are my favorite! Beautiful! Thank you so much!

[@deborahgoodwin3426]

Goodness gracious, my favorite day of the week! Wonderful Watercolor Wednesday!! And dare I say, you as always never disappoint. This rusty old gem of long past times laying nestled in it's desert bed. Your exquisite painting so brilliantly brings out the rusty colors, the fine workmanship of the original automobile, the effects of long wear, tear and time. As ever, your superb techniques with the card scraper bring the rocks to life....I am quite sure that if a pile of rocks could talk....we would hear them whispering amongst themselves. Thanks ever so much for sharing with us your amazing talent. Safe and happy travels in the coming weeks, you will be greatly missed by this avid subscriber!! 👩‍🦳🖌️😢

[@nancywhite2014]

A beautiful interpretation of the “painted” desert. Lovely 3-D effect on the rocks and car, almost pops out from the paper! The saguaro cacti are well done 🌵. I’ve been out to Arizona to visit my aunt, the cacti are very impressive. Thanks for another lovely tutorial, Mr. Clark 🎉

[@Nancy-ii5yo]

Really enjoyed this painting! Wednesday morning is my favorite time and I will miss you and your sessions for the next few weeks. Hope you and Margo have a wonderful 'painting' vacation!

[@jilld8787]

Super nice! Will ave to give this a try. 🥰

[@florencecognard8425]

Encore un bel exercice pour nous. Merci Paul. Passez de bonnes vacances et revenez nous avec de belles idées. 🤗🙂

[@artifexmom3824]

Wow! I loved the process🥰❤️

[@frediabuchanan8601]

[@luzpiedadmejia]

Love your videos and your sense of humor!

[@Kathy-bc5yq]

Cool! I really like this one a lot!

[@sprousepaula]

So very amazing! Thanks.

[@laurabravo7248]

WOW, I’m so impressed !! 🥰 Love the painting, and it seems so fun to paint with all that variety of techniques. 👏 I hope you and Margot have such splendid days in Ibiza! oooh.. if only i could! (What a coincidence that I haven't painted since last summer, and just today I painted a picture of Ibiza with wonderful facades and a Vespa motorbike!) 🪴🛵 THANKS! 🤗

[@AnnThorsson]

Absolutely amazing! I think I've found my new watercolour passion - painting rusty old cars 😍 Thanks for a great tutorial! 🎨🖌

[@carriepolster399]

Beautiful, love the fenders so 3D. Another terrific tutorial.

[@Artgal1951]

Amazing painting!
