How to Paint in Watercolour - A Suffolk Boatyard

[@susanadcock3545]

Oh my, you are painting my ex-partners parents house! Just through the carriageway to their back door, and the front of their house and garden! It's a long time ago, now - 20 years ago and the houses weren't painted blue then! Lovely trip down memory lane for me. Bryan and Jennie Rogers were their names.

[@isolde100]

I find your tutorials immensely valuable because you use a few colors to achieve a painting that is beautiful and harmonious. When I started watercolor painting in 2019, I thought I had to buy a lot of paints and have a huge palette. I ended up being confused and panicked every time I would attempt a painting. Not only that, I would spend a lot of money on paints. After watching your videos 3 years ago and reading your book, I understood that it’s not about having every single shade of green or blue. Indeed, I began to experiment with the 3 primary colors (as you recommend in one of your tutorials), and mix my greens, browns, purples. I began to understand how to warm up and cool down parts of my paintings, create shadows (warm and cool), and use contrast where I needed it. Beginning watercolor painters err by buying too many paints and trying to use all of them. I noticed recently that the price of watercolor tube paints has gone up a lot! Inflation.The price of watercolor paper, never cheap even 5 years ago, is also quite crazy now. So being able to paint well with a few colors is a great skill for us to learn, especially when we have to spend money on watercolor paper too. A lot of people are on a tight budget. Thank you so much for your tutorials and your advice.

Great comment, some interesting points.

[@eirenmist12]

Lovely of you to share your experiences with beginning watercolor. Great and helpful advice, very practical.

There’s something magical in watching your paintings emerge🖼🎨🖌️‼️. Thank you for sharing 🧑‍🎨

[@meeraahuja1594]

Wonderful Watercolor Wednesday. Thank you fir sharing the beautiful visual from your cycling trip and the awesome video.

[@Klecksfabrik]

80 odd miles does not sound leisurely to me! 😁 fabulous painting! Can’t wait to have a go. Thanks so much!

[@jeannettesmith5492]

I'm in awe watching you bring this lovely painting to life. You show me anything is possible to paint, I would have never attempted anything so complex but now I will look at the world with new vision. Thank you ❤

[@Anna_Amoroso]

I also love your humour and your stories and extra info.😊

[@brendalittleton8246]

It's lovely. I am going to try it. The challenge will be to replicate the striking three dimensional effects of your boats. Thank you for another great tutorial. Andy

[@kimallen8521]

I do love painting a good boat, living near the Stroudwater canal gives me plenty of opportunity 😊, beautiful painting as always, thank you 😊

[@DianeMeadows-h9r]

So lovely to create memories from your trips by painting them. There is something dreamy about boats. Another great tutorial, Mr C. Thank you.

[@cathedralirish820]

Beautiful work, Paul. You have extraordinary talent and we all thank you for sharing it with us.

[@samanthabye-russell9641]

Great tutorial... you were right on my doorstep!!! And the pub you stopped at and this painting is next to, is managed by my step son... Great location and fabulous for photographers and painters alike. Thank you for this tutorial... I'd better give it a go 😂

[@deborahgoodwin3426]

Yes! I think you had better, your step -son will never forgive you, if you don't! But, he will never forget you and love you if you do!🤣🤣🤣🥰👩‍🦳🖌️🎨

[@amberdreams_0]

I thought that looked like Pin MIll in the thumbnail - my neck of the woods! My old boss used to have a boat mooring at Woolverstone. So many picturesque views, it must have been hard choosing.

[@vickiarn]

Glad you had a nice bike trip. Beautiful painting. Enjoy your next trip, and I hope you have great weather. Thanks.

[@debrasanders1505]

Fantastic as usual. I am a "beginning" artist and I learned so much from you. Thank you again for all the tutorials. I look forward to "Watercolor Wednesday".

[@debbiemarchant3261]

Love watching your tutorials and listening to the excellent music choices, thank you 😊

[@henriquejanuario881]

Great class! Beautiful video and music! Thanks a lot!

[@stevebrown4819]

Very beautiful painting today!! Beautiful detail...it's hard to find videos of this caliber....love it!!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@jilliandane3737]

Wow! The countrysides are so lovely and so glad you had a wonderful time cycling. You looked great too. Thank you for this realistic looking painting and also for telling us your experiences you had while cycling. And by the way it is hot here where I am also.

[@SH-eb9hg]

Thank you - that's an inspired (and inspiring) one! Greetings from Italy.

[@jongyongkim3369]

Dear Mr. Clark, I am a retired Korean diplomat. I started to learn water color painting since last April. I watched your KZbin by chance and now am fond very very very of watching it. Thank you very much for your wonderful guide. By the way I lived in Surbiton, South West London from 2004- 2006, and my family cherishes the lovely memory of U.K.

[@neilcarpenter8457]

By gum Paul an absolute gem thanks for sharing

[@erzsebetmicola4530]

I can hardly wait for wednesday’s videos! Thank you!

[@Sherlock2022]

Looks like you had an enjoyable cycling holiday, I must try it sometime. Your painting reminds me of the style and content of Andrew Pitt, a Suffolk artist. Thanks for sharing.

[@lynnfarrington8651]

Gorgeous Paul. Suffolk is a stunning county...I might be biased now I live there..lol

[@stampinturtles]

Wonderful painting! Wonderful bike tour! 87 miles?!?! Wow!!! I’m lucky to get 87 steps a day. Lol. J/k 😂 (kinda) Now that my coffee is gone and I’ve watched your video it’s time for me to start packing for my trip. I’ll be setting up a booth to sell my art in Orlando Florida this weekend. 🖼️🌴 Pray for me! 🙏🏻Lol. I’ll be talking and standing a lot! Lol It’ll be fun! I’ll be selling the fox painting from your tutorial. I’ll let you know if it sells. 🦊 and I always let people know that I learned to paint from your videos. I’ve tried tutorials from others and I don’t get the same level of accuracy as I do when I follow yours. You have a gift of explaining what you are doing along with creating fabulous scenes for us to paint. ❤The perfect channel on KZbin! Thank you for this video today and I hope you have a blessed week. 😊

[@umabord]

You are amazing Paul! you make it look so easy but this one is complicated! Beautiful picture and thanks for sharing this lovely tutorial 😍

[@MsMoniqueWilson]

I love how this detailed painting still feels loose and fresh!

[@eirenmist12]

Brilliant! One of my favorites of yours, and I'm a girlie gal who is not given to painting boats and such, but watching you make this scene come to life was so instructional and so enjoyable.

[@conniemesce4093]

Beautiful, love all your work. So very precise and well done! ❤

[@gerardhardy400]

truly fascinating to watch how the painting develops with the blending colours you use, its beautifully done as always, another great painting Paul. 💙

[@michaelduxbury3525]

Wow this is exceptional and will be a real challenge, but one I'm looking forward to.Thank you so much for this beautiful image and tutorial.

[@carolhiler4690]

I love trying to guess what part of the picture you will paint next. I'm usually wrong but it's fun anyway.

[@samuso86]

Lovely. One of your best! The seaweed coming off that line at the end looks great. What I like to do with that kind of thing is just put a thick dollop of paint at the top then smudge it down with my finger. It's a similar result but a lot more fun and you get those frayed edges. Thanks for sharing!

[@suverchadwivedi7569]

Thank you Paul for yet another awesome tutorial ❤

[@borleyboo5613]

Ah yes! Beautiful Suffolk and all those gorgeous little hidden pathways and river walks (or cycle paths) Lovely painting and it really captures the essence of this stunning area.

[@LindaKing-nq6ut]

Wonderful composition painted so well….nice to see some of the Suffolk countryside 🙂🇨🇦

[@jimschneide]

Love it Paul stay cool my friend😊

[@deanlambert4684]

The salt in the foreground worked so well, then building the depth and detail - brilliant. Gave the painting a real atmosphere and drama

[@normaaknowles2044]

Paul, this is another great tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent. 😘

[@flajim]

Sometimes your painting just blows me away… living in a sea town, we have several boat yards and I have dozens of photos. I guess I need to break them out and do something… thanks as always, my friend. Jim - Fernandina Beach, Florida.

[@stampinturtles]

Good morning! So excited to watch this! Gotta get my cup of coffee first, send my hubby off to work and then I’ll watch it. ❤️☕️

[@adelabadova3105]

Good morning, dear! I’m already drinking my coffee 🫖☕🍩 and adding cream and sugar and already sent Paul my comment. I hope KZbin won’t have any glitches today!

[@carol9204]

love the way your colors and marks speak about your subjects wonderful time spent being here !!! thank you!

[@priyangshuchanda8770]

My Wednesdays are filled with thrill and watercolor lessons as you throw back those admirable paintings. Thanking you wholeheartedly!😊

[@cajsheen2594]

Lovely Suffolk! Beautiful study! You bikers out on the trail was good too! XXX

[@nancywhite2014]

Thanks again for a lovely textured scene from your journey through Suffolk. Cheers 🍻 Mr. Clark.

[@jinny13]

Love these videos! I feel like none of your paintings ever have the “ugly stage” that so many watercolors especially, have. I’m constantly trying to improve my paintings and watching these videos always helps inspire and teach! 👏🏻🙏🏻❤️

[@donnaweintraub8769]

Thank you Paul for the tide info. It's always interesting to hear about different "neck of the woods".

[@geoffmitchell6515]

Very nice Paul it’s only a short distance from where I live ….thank you

[@dianeknott3655]

Love this, Paul. Your foregrounds are always fabulous, but this one with the drooping seaweed - great touch!

[@sandytorento5048]

Hi Paul, Excellent tutorial! I'm excited about painting. Hope you had good weather on your Bike day. I think last time you and your friends went it had rained. Take care

[@dianesleeman5940]

Again another total sensory experience Paul. You can smell the estuarine salt and hear the full marine chorus. It reminds me of my days as a yachtie's 'Moll'. Now I'm happy to paint boats on the Tamar River. That's Tamar Tasmania. Not Tamar Cornwall. Many thanks for a shipload of memories.

[@RobertHopkinsArt]

Great work and tutorial, Paul! Good job on the 80+ bike ride!

[@debbiesheridan3334]

Definitely having a go at this, I think I will need the two weeks 😅❤ enjoy your break x

[@antondoorman5214]

Beautiful painting and a nice tutorial Thanks

[@donnabrooks7783]

Wow! Just W0w! I love this so much! Thank you Paul!

[@dougrutherford3848]

Lovely. I wonder if you might consider doing a video on highlighting... what you choose to highlight and what not.

[@suevowles1523]

Wow, amazing, thank you once again Paul!

[@audreybarnett7263]

This has to be up there in my top ten favourites of your watercolour Wednesday. What took you 3 hours to paint this amazing piece of work would probably take me 3 days ! Great job. 😊👍

[@teresamarotta5045]

Bellissimo ,come tutti i tuoi dipinti.

[@donnaweintraub8769]

Bringing out the anchor gave the painting a "story"of today and yesterday's. What a difference. Luv it

[@Anna_Amoroso]

Wow you are so talented, it's a beautiful experience to watch you in action!

[@tamra9124]

I get lost watching you paint. You're brilliant!

[@anithasonlineclasses878]

Wow, an absolutely fantastic tutorial. And thanks for the pencil sketch , Just can't imagine drawing this one . The scene seemed so cluttered but you brought out the beauty with your brushstrokes. Such a talent and thanks for being so generous and guiding us novices. 😊

[@eileen-hw1qz]

I absolutely love watching your tutorials. I wish I wish I could one day maybe.

[@celiacramer4247]

I constantly struggle with boats... im a sailing type you see. Perfection is costantly my enemy for this subject. But this loose relaxed approach? Well I think i might just have a go at painting my favourite things in the world. Thank you for showing me a way through my (self inflicted) barrier.

[@lobogrisart191]

For me, one of your best!!! Thanks for sharing your art

[@joycegilley]

This is sure a lovely one! I love boat paintings!

[@emilyadams6194]

What a gold mine of painting subjects! It makes me downright salivate. Your paint strokes are very confident and you seem to use a minimal number of strokes. This makes your painting very clean and fresh. A fun thing to strive for in watercolor. Really enjoyed this demo. .

[@brianharding5357]

The details are amazing. Thank you for sharing this video. You look rested after your biking tour.

[@brightonrosie]

Fabulous as always

[@jenlof9173]

You work is wonderful thank you for teaching and sharing your talent ❤ Please can you make more of ur amazing job painting cactus 🌵 desert 🏜️ plants etc, ❤️

[@ddudley8950]

Another beautiful painting! Love Wednesdays. Look forward to your videos. You never fail to inspire. Thanks for sharing!

[@Lilia.birnaz]

Good afternoon, dear Paul! Thank you for this great tutorial and the possibility to see beautiful places far from our homes through your eyes and videos, this time Suffolk. Real pleasure to watch your strokes, color mixing and techniques to have a nice output. Enjoy your day. Greetings from Moldova. Lilia

[@jeanhuang1319]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much.

[@shannonshunk8897]

Thank you for the inspiration. Now that gardening season is done, I will be going back to painting. I live in a boating area. This tutorial will help me get back into the groove of painting in the winter time. Thanks Paul, love the channel, love your style! I hope you and your family are doing well. ❤

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear - have fun Shannon!

[@terricogbill3802]

Awe , luv the cute hairdo , and I’ve had my fair share of ditch riding with assorted bruises and scrapes . Great tute , thank you so much 😊 welcome back !

[@renitalopez9100]

You do make it look easy! I appreciate filming a portion in real time as it is helpful to me. I sometimes think I paint too slowly…which I probably do. But watching you use to rigger in real time was very instructive. Thanks so much, glad you had a good trip biking.😎

[@lisamurphy5007]

Fantastic ❤. Thank you AGAIN. Could you please do an Alaska coastline with boats?

[@Martycycleman]

Super painting, you certainly showed Suffolk to its best. Nice work on the foreground, well recovered 😊

[@bachtyart]

Your sharing is so good. Beautiful painting ! Love it's .❤❤❤❤❤

[@shancan6328]

Fantastic, I must say I like the format of your tutorials and although I paint using Acrylic rather than watercolour I manage to get good results.
