How to Paint the Northern Lights in Iceland in Watercolour

[@Lilia.birnaz]

Good afternoon, dear Paul! I think all your pupils (like me) from East European countries who are now under the heat cupola of 40C+ would like to jump into your Iceland painting 🙂Great tutorial as always, lot of colours, light, reflections and necessary tricks. Get well and have a nice summer. Greetings from Republic of Moldova. Lilia Birnaz

Such a therapeutic and magjcal voyage of discovery on many levels. We get the Southern Lights here in Tasmania where it is minus 1 degree this morning. I love the check-ins from all corners of the globe. We are truly a community

[@phillipziesemer8378]

There’s not much more to say than, “totally inspirational.” Thank you!

[@dianecooper6854]

This is stunning Paul. Just love the little nuggets you put in, like remember to start pale colours first, and the important reflection angles. Thankyou Paul.

[@nancywhite2014]

And Paul Clark wields his magic brush, Voila! Another fine watercolor painting is complete.🎉🍺🌄

[@rta3738]

Love your Iceland joke. We used to say we went to London and got the same responses. Of course it was a pretty short drive from Michigan to London, Ontario, Canada 😉

[@lesleyanderson3662]

Oh wow what a stunning painting and another great tutorial Paul. Thank you. Can't wait to give it a go 👍👍

[@AnnThorsson]

Ahhh, my homeland ❤🇮🇸 Such a beautiful painting and calm scene. Thanks for featuring Iceland 🥰 Be welcome to come for a visit and bring your paints with you. You'll be spoilt for choice with all our amazing scenery!

[@vickiarn]

Thanks!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much Vicki!

[@stampinturtles]

Good morning Paul! Today is a good day to paint! I love how you show us all the details and colors to use. My palette is much worse than yours. lol. I wish I could join you for your plein air class. I’ve had some students ask me about doing one. Not in this heat! 🥵I’ll wait til fall. Praying your voice is strong and clear for it. 🙏🏻 Thank you so much for this inspiring video.

[@davidhinkley4754]

Very enjoyable Paul. I do love the ‘lights’.

[@borleyboo5613]

Very pretty painting. I love the colour combinations. The ‘Dream’ song was a lovely touch but made me a bit tearful. Fabulous and jolly tutorial once again. Thank you. 😊👍🏼

[@vickiarn]

That painting is magical. Thanks, I look forward to Wednesdays.

[@heatherthomas2145]

Beautiful Paul. Love all your work and really enjoy your Round the World Series. Spectacular picture. Love the colours.

[@meeraahuja1594]

Blimey! A tough project for Watercolour Wednesday 😱 But watching you paint and bringing to life the scene is sheer magic. The salt effect and the splattering of clean water is amazing. So much to learn about the finishing touches. Thank you so very much.

[@lesleyanderson3662]

I've just got to add that I just love the song you have playing Dream Little Darlin...its so beautiful ❤

[@steventoy6095]

got to give this one a try very colourful well done again Paul

[@SL-hq2ch]

Your painting has really opened up my eyes and left me amazed and in awe! Thank you. You are the best!

[@adelabadova3105]

Good morning 🍩☕🫖 dear Paul! Always glad to see you 🖐️😊 as always on Wednesday and thank you for the video you made for us! I like 👍, as always, and I want to wish you only health, peaceful skies and good luck, dear Paul!Bye...bye...🎨🎨🎨🖼️🖼️🖼️🖌️🖍️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋🌹Dear Paul! Today you have a cold😤🤧😷😤😮‍💨 voice!What a rich variety of colors on the palette in this video today!🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨

[@stampinturtles]

Good morning Adela! We need to give this one a go. 🖼️🎨🖌️what beautiful colors.

[@adelabadova3105]

@@stampinturtles Hello dear Jacqueline! Yes, I admire the riot and variety of colors in today's video from Paul. How is your daughter Jessica? Is everything OK? I hope and pray for her and her health.😊🙏🌷🌹👍🖐️😄🌈🌄🏞️

[@stampinturtles]

@@adelabadova3105 she’s doing so much better! God is hearing our prayers. ❤️🙏🏻😊

[@jjjumbuck]

That was very entertaining, better than watching television and we’d love to join you in Iceland! 😂 My husband Mike and I look forward to watching you every Wednesday night here in Australia, there’s always something new to learn. You make it all look so easy, hoping one day I could do be half as good as you. 😊

[@NicholasTaylor-om7qz]

Hi Paul, Great video and painting as always. On the Nordic theme, I’d love to see a painting of some of the stunning landscape of the Faroe Islands. It’s an incredible place to paint, especially with the unpredictable weather. I would particularly recommend the Dunnesdrangar sea stack or Saksun lagoon and village. Thanks!

[@amabar3035]

Thanks Paul for another great tutorial, I can't wait to try it!

[@ЕленаКоваль-о4з]

Wonderful lesson! Thank you so much, indeed! As there is 35C in Kyiv today (and no aircons as electricity is 2 - 4 hours per day) Ukrainians especially like the subject! And please accept our sincere gratitude for your unwavering support!

[@ludivinegaron]

Great pleasure to see the wednesday 'tutorial . Thanks from Paris❤

[@nkguenther1]

Wow! This looks daunting but will give it a go! We went to Iceland last September. What a gorgeous country and friendly people. We were staying at a horse farm way out in the country and I was painting an Icelandic horse in my sketchbook one night. Stepped out into the cold clear night while paint was drying and there were the northern lights. We watched for over an hour. Unforgettable!

[@christinerolf9348]

Perfect choice today,we are melting here in Spain,😅 love the tutorial and finished painting. Thanks Paul😊

[@julieandrews730]

Love the glow of the painting! Great lesson on reflections. As always, learned something and just enjoyed how you turn a blank sheet of paper into beauty!

[@mchris1020]

Love the reflections.

[@josephcollins6033]

Hi!!! and thank you, dear Paul. This is amazing!

[@ArtandDiamondsWithEskies]

Good morning Paul from Phoenix Arizona USA. Such a stunningly beautiful piece of work the mix of impressionism with those little bits of realism in the houses is amazing. You impress me so much every single time that I see you work and your work has its own flavor to it. Thank you so much for sharing another beautiful piece of work and process with us I am so grateful. God bless you

[@parthapratimghosh3166]

Marvellous, amazing painting

[@marytesta3003]

Good morning from Lake Villa IL. I can't believe a week went by already. Thank you for the beautiful step by step Paul and the tip on reflection. I'll make that adjustment next time. Of all the classes I have taken, I never heard about the reflection direction. I love your music choice. Takr care of you❤

[@pokey3010]

Like love! I love your painting lessons, I am always awe struck. Thank you so much

[@soniachahal139]

STUNNING 😍😍😍 Such a beautiful painting. One feels we are there enjoying the scenery. You never cease to amaze us. Ofcourse you make it look sooo easy. Hopefully I can paint like you Paul , someday. 🙏 Loved the cute story of meeting your friend. , and Iceland versus Iceland ☺️ Hope you feel better soon Paul. Nothing like feeling under the weather. Inspite of that you still worked on the tutorial. Very commendable. Thank-you for your dedication to the tutorials. 🙏 Waiting for the next tutorial. Have a wonderful week. And feel better. Take care 💗💗💗🥰

[@paulaburian7067]

[@MadhaviDesai-w7j]

Amazing Experience of festival of colours in the sky

[@viewfromthecrowsnest7396]

Love this, and I'm going to give it a try. I live in America where we often see gorgeous Northern Lights. When you went to touch up the annoying white, unpainted spots in the sky I wanted to reach out and stop you. And remind you that the stars and planets are very visible and shine throughout the Aurora lit skies! It is not like a cloud cover at all.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks for the comment!

[@AleksdeArt]

Fantastic painting! 🤍🤍

[@suverchadwivedi7569]

So magical ❤

[@samanthabye-russell9641]

Love this one, gotta love reflections... love the mug speech bubble in the background too 😂 thank you ❤

[@melodynowak709]

Thank you, Paul for another beautiful and inspiring session! You make it look so easy with your skill and experience! Perhaps I will give it a go! Blessings! I hope your voice is better soon. Tea with lemon and honey may do the trick. Or hoarhound drops.

[@DianeMeadows-h9r]

What a gorgeous, colourful painting. The salt effect creates a lovely shimmer. Could you have created the same effect on the water by using a blade? Thank you for sharing.

[@Mamounalaframboiz]

Thank you very much Paul. Really very instructive, for me, especially when it comes to reflections and water work. Thank you 🙏

[@verenabaechler8770]

Merci pour ce jolie travail.

[@savithriragavan549]

What a beautiful, atmospheric painting - so much depth, gorgeous colors! Evening scenes are so challenging to paint - thank you for showing us how.

[@dianeloftus5476]

Absolutely beautiful ❤ Question... If I chose to leave the water and reflection out (yes, it's a bit out of my comfort zone and ability) what color(s) would you paint the foreground? Or, how would you paint the foreground?

[@chaittallipandyasartstroke5544]

Happy Gurupurnima Sir🙏🙏🤗🌹❤️ Today it's Teachers Day in India🤗

[@thepassionatesoul1802]

I will try this one

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hope you enjoy

[@andreafranne]

I love it when you do these flowy, magical paintings! Thanks :) A suggestion - if you feel like it, perhaps you could do a Lord of the rings painting some day, inspired by Alan Lee/John Howe? I love their work but how they do it is an enigma to me. Thank you and have a wonderful day

[@emmalessmann6636]

Hello, thank you for continuing to share your talent. Would you consider doing a video on how to add basic shape people to landscape paintings. I’m struggling with adding characters. Have a good day!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Sure thing! ... I have that very video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iICneqaZhcSMgbc
