Paul's Watercolour Q&A - No.4 .. including Demonstrations.

[@cherryAlice445]

Thankyou for yet another helpful video. Its only 12 months since I started painting at age 79 years old. It took me all these years to work up the courage helped by your advice. I finally took the plunge to help one of my grandaughters who was suffering from a very long and severe (over 6 months) case of long Covid. She had become so depressed. But with your videos we started painting together and it made a big difference to her outlook. So thanks once again.👍

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

That's wonderful to hear - happy to help in any small way!

I just wanted to tell you wether you are answering questions or painting a picture; you are such a joy to watch! Thank you for all the lessons.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Oh thank you Nancy, that's very kind!

[@lindabeard3474]

I loved your answer about your favorite part of teaching painting. I am a retired 3rd grade teacher & my favorite part of teaching was also that squeal of delight & joy when they realized that they actually got the concept I was teaching them. What a joy it was to hear their little voices rise & to see those sweet smiles. I miss it.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear ... especially from a proper teacher!

[@pokey3010]

I love watching you every week and if you could hear me laugh and see how much I smile.... I am always so excited to watch, learn and watch again to paint along. Thank you so much

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

I'm so glad! ... many thanks!

[@watercolorista]

The part with Margo and your/her workspace is the best EVER ♥♥♥

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Lol! ... glad you enjoyed it!

[@debbieretzlaff2912]

Love your paintings, great sense of humor & happy attitude❣️

[@pattycyr8662]

Great video - great tips! It was also nice seeing some of your 1990's paintings. You are a fantastic teacher and artist with the added bonus of your positive and inspirational spirit. Thanks!

[@ddilling1855]

Hi Paul! Thank you for your lovely channel. I have a suggestion for your next Q&A. Perhaps a segment on techniques for how to fix mistakes. For example, is there a right/wrong way to lift paint (when trying to fix a mistake as opposed to creating a highlight) and then painting over top?

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks so much ... for the suggestion ... I'll add it to the next Q&A!

[@achinijayathunge6830]

The drawing demonstration is very useful, and the advice about the big shape first. Thank you very much Paul and love your early artwork and Margot’s little studio too.❤❤

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Glad it was helpful!

[@moulinherve8374]

Hello, the beginner I am is following you avidly, I particularly appreciated this Q&A, the frankness of your answers, as well as that to the question of Kathy. Thank you

[@jenniferhosmer9180]

You just the best Paul Clark!!!! I enjoy learning from you!!!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear! Thanks 😊

Paul this was great to have these q & a sessions. It is amazing how much we have forgotten or learn..I admire you for your dedication and patience

Glad you enjoyed it

[@SéverineMUGICA]

Thank you for your vidéos. I am not english fluent but with all your advices i was abble to increase my painting level in less than a year. Amazing. So thank you so much from France.

[@jacintaferyn122]

You are so very generous with your knowledge. Your earlier work is just wonderful. You have a great understanding of the watercolour materials and techniques, and your drawing method using pentimento is great. Thank you for all you do.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

So nice of you, thanks

[@fourroadsnorth2723]

Very helpful question on playback speed. Never knew this and very useful. Thanks all!

[@tessdavis969]

One of your viewers asked about drawing an object. I used to try drawing on the decent water colouring paper and spoiled many times with erasing. Now I practise any drawing several times on drawing paper. Surprising how much decent watercolour paper you save as well as practising your drawing.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great point! - thanks for sharing!

[@shirleywittering9698]

Yes well worth practicing on cartridge.

[@johnwilliams-ct1561]

Thank you so much for your advice and videos. What I like is that you do not force your opinions on us, but advise us to do our own thing.( although your opinions are invaluable! )😊😊😊😊😊😊

Great to hear, thanks John!

[@Simone-gr8kh]

I love the question 'first works'. Love your early works! :) I feel like your early works equal my maximum end goal LOL.

[@cathiegiglio3883]

It was so exciting to hear my name called and you answered my question. Thank you so much! I so enjoy your tutorials and the Facebook group!

[@gaylenanut7035]

Thank you so much for that last suggestion “This one is just for practice and just for fun, and that is often when you get your best.” I have found this truth in my own experience and will apply it much more often as this has proved to be my best work!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome! thanks Gayle!

[@essietangle9931]

If I had to share my art space with my husband, it would be tripping over golf clubs, tennis rackets etc. Terrifying thought. I really like the Q and A.Thank you.

Good afternoon, dear Paul! Any tutorial you wouldn't create is made with taste, a lot of useful information, with sense of humor, and respect for your followers. Thank you again! Greetings from Moldova, Lilia

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

So nice of you Lilia!

[@sophiemessenger5472]

Thank you, Paul. These were some valuable bits of information. Incidentally, I tried your tutorial of the Scottish Loch. Of course it did not come out like yours, but it was so much fun painting and I’ve decided it’s not that bad & I may even hang it up on the wall. Thank you again for sharing your expertise ❤️

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear Sophie! many thanks!

[@lornawilbore106]

Thank you so much Paul. I find your tutorials very interesting. Water colour is my preferred option but it is a challenge to get it 'just right'!

I've been following you since I started this new hobby of watercolor painting. It's not quite a year yet, but I've learned so much from you. I tend to paint more detailed but when I need to loosen up... I visit Paul from across the pond. 😊 I have actually been commissioned 4 times now. Some of my favorited paintings had been inspired by some of yours such as the fox and robin, the old rusty car and the tractor scene as well. ❤Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us all !❤ Theresa from Ohio.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Wonderful! ... happy to help Theresa from Ohio!

You are so welcome thanks as always to the original California Gramma ❤

[@kellyhalligan1328]

Thanks again. I very much remember your last one where you said that you started with 3 colors and advised us to do the same. Best advice ever. The night takeaway from, today’s is to start every painting as though it’s a practice, and to paint the painting as a whole. Thanks again

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

You are so welcome Kelly!

you always add such fun to your videos. my question: since you paint so many paintings, what do you do with them? do you have your own gallery, or show in one, or wallpaper your home with them? and yes, more Q&As would be good, some day. and thanks for showing us your early work!

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

[@christinefalconer8886]

Marvellous! Wow , your earlier works are impressive. This was such a worthwhile video. Nice little reminders too. I appreciate your comments on pricing our work. I often find this difficult and especially if I have a painting I feel good about. I was once told to charge two and half times the framing price. Only as a guide. Love this. Thanks Paul.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Thanks for sharing Christine!

Dankjewel! Prachtig! Ik heb onlangs een schilderij gemaakt op een open canvas, met aquarel. En raad eens, het is door naar de finale van een schilderwedstrijd over waterlandschappen. Ik dacht dat het niet kon, maar het kan toch. Het blijft vaag, de verf trekt in het doek. Maar het geeft een Prachtig resultaat. Over de achtergrond van aquarel heb ik met acryl de details geschilderd. Groetjes en bedankt voor al je Prachtige filmpjes

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Great to hear - thanks!

[@GwenCantwell-it8vs]

A very helpful video and I’ll have a go at the fish. I have watched all the Q & A tutorials but I don’t think I’ve seen any or many tips on trouble shooting, trying to put right areas when things go wrong. I follow the tutorials, hanging on your every word as I try to copy instruction. I always think I’ll make it my own but sometimes that’s difficult to do, must be my lack of natural creativity. So when my paint won’t do what I expect it to, I want to correct it but don’t know how.

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Good point, thanks ... I'll add it to the next Q&A!

[@susankelly4911]

Hi Paul thank you for this. Loved your early works and the information and tips. Now I'm going to throw a question in. How would you go about painting a beautiful muted rainbow?I tried. I thought a rainbow. How hard can it be? Simple I thought. Until I tried it and failed miserably. Ugh. I was trying to do this rainbow bridge thing. My beloved fur baby Sadie', my dog had to be put to sleep two months ago and I'm devastated. We had a great bond together and I miss her so much. I was trying to do a painting of her looking over " the rainbow bridge" as she was passing it. In memory of her. But I didn't get anywhere near painting her doing that because I was trying to get this rainbow right and I wont repeat the string of expletive words I used. I think you can have a very good guess. Would you please Paul if you have time, show the best way how to do it. It's NOWHERE NEAR as simple as I thought at all. The colours blended into each other and the whole sky was a disaster. Maybe I should have done one colour and let it dry before I tried the next one. Maybe the watercolour pad wasn't great either. Maybe a lot of things. It was a practice run. It was just as well! What colours would you use for a rainbow? By that I'm talking watercolour paints and how would you get that beautiful muted look? And what brushes would you use for it. Hope you can help me Paul. Thanks for the tips and tricks here. I' m.very grateful for all you do. God bless you and Margot. Susan ❤❤❤🙏🕊👍☘🇮🇪🎨🐶🐾🐾

[@ArtbyPaulClark]

Hi Kelly, sorry to hear that, we lost our 'fur baby' 2 weeks ago and I can relate to how you feel. Regarding a 'Rainbow' in watercolour ... wow, one of the hardest things I can think of. I've had the request before and always avoided it!!! The only way I can suggest is to paint the scene as normal (without rainbow) ... wait till it's totally dry .... then re-wet the area. and then drop in to the wet the rainbow colours.... but have them pre-mixed so you can paint them in at the same time .... good luck!!!!

[@SaraVasura]
