My favorite artist of all times, I love every single little thing that you paint because there is always magic at the tip of your brush...and you always have this amazing music that I love so much! Thank you for your kindness and generosity. 😊🙏🧚🐦🌺🪄🎨

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Ahhh, that's so nice of you , thanks Isabelle!

[@debgrove4792]

It is so nice that you explain that everyone has a different technique when they paint. Such easy to follow instructions. Thank you also for providing downloadable drawings.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ericdavies3124]

Thanks! For all your videos. I have learned so much over the last year.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so Much Eric - very kind!

[@adelabadova3105]

Good morning dear Paul 🍳🍕🥞🥨🍵☕🍽️! It's Wednesday again and you're in the studio again and I'm glad to see you healthy and in a good mood again! Thank you for the new interesting video tutorial! we are very cold, like in winter: snow and rain, icy wind, temperature 0-6 ° С 🌨️🌨️🌧️🌧️🌬️🌬️. All the best to you dear Paul 💋♥️ and I will wait for new video lessons! Bye...bye, dear, see you soon on the internet 🖐️🖐️🖐️😊P.S.I noticed that in Britain from April 1 they switched to daylight saving time again, because your video lessons began to go on air 1 hour earlier, not at 14:00, but at 13:00 our time. I'm following this, so as not to miss the release of the new video!😊😊😊🖐️🖐️🖐️

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Lovely comment as always Adela - always enjoy reading then with all the little emoji's 😊😊😊

[@adelabadova3105]

@@ArtbyPaulClark Dear Paul, I congratulate you on the upcoming feast of Holy Easter! Today, in our Catholic Church, the sisters Hubert and Stella are also preparing for the all-night service in honor of Holy Easter. We sing songs and decorate the church in front of the parishioners!🕊️⛪🕊️⛪🕊️⛪🕊️⛪🕊️

[@brendalittleton8246]

Perhaps I should be tweeting this message. I'd be a raven lunatic if I thought I could produce anything as lovely as that, but I will try it. I thoroughly enjoyed the tutorial. Thank you very much. Andy

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Love that Andy - ... was going to reply with a pun about a Blue tit ... then thought, perhaps not.

[@maggiemadwestiemum4511]

Love the little bird he would make a nice English Robin. Thank you for the drawing tips too

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! 😊

[@josephcollins6033]

Thanks!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much!

[@jilliandane3737]

I just love how you started to draw the birds using two circles. I love these techniques how you used more pink to show out the bird's body. Real earthly colors showing the foreground and the background. The dimness of the background is a lovely contrast to the sharpness of the detailed bird in the foreground. Thank you once more for this great tutorial of spring.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure Jillian!

[@shrutikawale4726]

Thank you ! Paul, as usual i just enjoyed it so much and this time my mom also watched it and enjoyed ! 🌞🌞

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you enjoyed it ... and your Mom!

[@tonydinicola3893]

The depth of field effect really makes the foreground and bird pop. Very cool!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks Tony!

[@paraglide01]

Hi Paul , bought your book Watercolour last week and I am very happy with it.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@parthapratimghosh3166]

Very very beautiful painting

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kathymckinstry1649]

Thanks for the encouragement Paul!! My painting studio is a disaster from after the holidays. It’s the next room we tackle after having been putting Christmas decorations away and cleaning closets etc. I can’t work in a messy room, you don’t need to know all this stuff, but I just didn’t feel right making up an excuse to you as to why I can’t get started right away. If it comes out good enough, I will send you a picture of my painting when I’m done in the next week, I hope😊

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great comment Kathy ... my studio is very messy too!

[@kimimel7488]

He was so cute!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Cheers Kim!

[@Sherlock2022]

Thanks again for the tutorial. I’ve had a go already, awaiting the thumbs up.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Awesome, thank you David!

[@alguezaart]

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Off-gridchic]

Oh, this is so pretty. It puts a smile on your face. I can't wait to paint this. Have a wonderful day.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! You too!

[@pampusscat4513]

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much 😊

[@kimschmidt3959]

Ah yes Spring that elusive season here in Minnesota. So glad we can paint it! Thanks Paul this is so nice and bright.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad you like it!

[@kathyrieck9567]

Thanks to Paul and Margot for giving us a fantastic watercolor journey!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi Kathy, thanks very much, that is very generous of you!

[@khadijakhan6259]

Enjoyed watching the blooms n the bird…. Will try to paint…

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@annalexappubalu]

Never tried a bird before. Thanks for the lesson on drawing birds. Definitely planning to do this .

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure 😊

[@kathymckinstry1649]

Wonderful video Paul! It’s been very helpful because I have 3 photos of a baby Gold Finch who visited my garden a couple years ago. I used portrait mode and has the perfect blurry background. This video will be extremely helpful as were you, showing us how to draw birds. Thank you Paul, have a wonderful day today!!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jilld8787]

Lovley! Appreciate the bird drawing info!😎🎉🥰

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You’re welcome 😊

[@karenmorrison1393]

Thanks again for a lovely tutorial - will give it a go as soon as I can

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Please do!

[@AnnThorsson]

Superb! I love the combination of loose and detailed with the blossom and the bird. So lovely! Great tips on drawing birds, too. Thanks for another great tutorial.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@bubbletip9836]

I’m telling you, Paul your voice could be on radio. It is so calming to watch your videos. I really like this one. I guess the girly pink really resonated with me.😊

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wow, thank you! Love that 😁

[@christinefalconer8886]

Lovely as usual. I particularly liked the real time footage as it shows how careful you are about where you put your brush. You're obviously studying the process of the painting and how it's developing. We don't always appreciate the time it takes and this was very revealing. Absolutely love the loose background. Thanks again Paul, can't wait to join y next month and paint alongside you.🎉😊

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@watercolorwanderingwithk]

This is so pretty and love how you break it down

[@dimazi]

When people join my FB group, they have to answer a membership question “who is your favorite artist”. Of course, YOU are mentioned all the time! Love your tutorials and art. You’re inspiring.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Awww, that’s lovely to hear, thanks so much Diann 🤗

[@johnblakleydavies6739]

I really loved this picture. I have always had a great fondness for birds. This made me feel that I may actually have a go at painting one. I like his the background isn't so detailed. I'm far too rigid in trying to be exact then get frustrated and give up. Though I realise your experience makes it look far easier than it really is. Jean. The picture is my son in law!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Go for it! ... and have fun!

[@phuonggiangnguyen82]

Thanks very much, Paul, for demonstrating how to paint this! I appreciated the real-time painting toward the end. The time estimate of 2.5 hours was also helpful. Now I'll know not to be frustrated 30 minutes in. I like how you have both loose and detailed parts of the painting. I'll definitely try painting a blue-grey gnatcatcher this weekend.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Many thanks and have fun!

[@kaliMa632]

Absolutely love your content, its the best ive found. Thank you very much. Cheers, from Australia.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Many thanks!

[@MYR-mi1vi]

I love this painting, it’s so good to know you paint top half first, often time i paint so slow and it makes sense to divide them into sections. You simplify the color and drawing for us, one of my favorite teacher out there. Thanks so much.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you so much 😀

[@janacoufalova6660]

Wonderful!!!! Thank you very much.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure Jana!

[@marysermon5255]

This afternoon here in New York, USA l painted with you this watercolor, and l was very happy with the end result. Although yours is a lot more professional than mine, l decided for my version to put in a frame as a reminder of my first of many more lessons with you. Thanks for your valuable instructions and videos on this unbelievable and unpredictable medium that is watercolors.

[@eszterveber4348]

Merci Florence!

[@lauraargo8349]

Your presence in my living room of a Wednesday is the closest feeling I get to being home in England. Thank you for your wonderful videos. I loved your Blue Grey Gnatcatcher painting. I think the background is a valuable lesson in loose watercolour. I know I've learned so much from you, Paul. Thank you! ❤️

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome Laura - delighted to help!

[@janinecovert6994]

Just beautiful! We just got 20” of new snow in my area so a pretty spring bird painting is much appreciated! Thanks from your student who is longing for spring in Idaho. 😊

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Cheers Janine - keep warm!

[@mrslilymo]

Thank you Paul, you challenge me every week to try something new. I’m at the beginning of learning watercolour but I’m really enjoying your lessons

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Have fun!

[@lizcharalambous9336]

This brought me such calm and peace. It is truly lovely! Thank you.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Lovely to hear thanks 😊

[@tiahunt7297]

Beautiful and so appropriate as I sat on my front porch at sunset and listened to robins, mourning doves, Canadian geese flying above, turkeys gobbling in the woods here in my corner of West Virginia and here is your bird tutorial. Thank you!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

My pleasure Tia!

[@jerryeby3386]

Love the background Paul. Your pinks are really vibrant and as always a real joy to watch you in action. Thanks, Sherry

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Cheers Sherry!

[@stampinturtles]

Your bird drawings are so amazing! Thanks for the tips! I really loved watching you paint this. Those flowers are so soft and springy. I also really love the facts about the bird. You have a natural gift of story telling. What a blessing this was.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! Cheers Jacqueline!!

[@joannabatherson6783]

Thanks for another great tutorial! I always consider this a Paul Clark concert because you cover so many areas of technique, music, jokes, and Margot’s additions. The best of Wednesday! 🎈🎼

[@lmessenger4171]

It’s so helpful that you generously provide templates. Sketching is a whole talent in its own and I haven’t got there yet. Thank you Paul

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jacquibudd9330]

Lovely painting Paul. I’m in Ontario Canada. Never heard of a blue grey gnatcatcher. Have to look that up if I ever saw it i probably thought it was a finch

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Cheers Jacqui - apparently along the south edge of Ontario.

[@anithasonlineclasses878]

Ove the backround and the cute bird . Definitely a must try 😀

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Please do!

[@kathymckinstry1649]

[@meeraahuja1594]

Great tips. I love painting birds (in pairs though😊) but I am so bad at backgrounds that most of the paintings are ruined by backgrounds that overwhelm the birds. Thank you for the great tips. The colours are so beautiful and freshing and so soothing. Thank you. Another superb tutorial.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@janacvk1112]

Lovely, thank you. I especially love the blend of quick and real-time...always love your music choices. I will try this one!

Hi Paul, for your next tutorial please do either a simple urban scene or a colourful village scene. They are my favourite subjects. Thank you. 🥸

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great suggestion!

[@iwonawleklinska2017]

Thank you Paul for all lessons you do. Could you advise in one of your tutorials how to match the picture with proper (colour) of passé -partout? Thank you.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

I'll look into that!
