Hi Paul, just wanted to thank you for the inspiration. I am now 70, never painted before, and wanted to try it. With the help of your tutorials, I have managed 3 paintings and enjoyed them all. My favourite has been the fox and the Robin, as I am struggling with seas and skys. Cheers, Nick.
Hi Paul, I love what you do and I have been following you for a long time. I have learned a lot from your texture techniques. Congratulations on your work. Thank you.
Hi Paul, Love your painting tutorials and the genuine way you teach. I am a 70+ retired school teacher who just wrote and illustrated my first children's book, A Rainy Day by Kathryn Ellis Collins. As I was working on my illustrations I would listen to your videos and realize that although I wasn't able to go to art school it just takes passion to accomplish whatever you want. You have that passion. Thank you for being there, albeit unknowingly..❤
Thank you for the kind wishes for those in the US hurt by Hurricane Helene and other “natural” (not) disasters. Very kind. ❤❤❤❤ I love that this is not the same old subject matter I seem to see over and over in tutorials. It’s very fresh and lively!
I immediately loved this painting....it looks, strikingly, like one of my granddaughters, as if she had posed for it, right in the middle of her splash. I've got to do this one for her. She'll love it, too. I see I'm in good company with a few senior citizens nearby....I guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks.
I have a photo similar to this of my granddaughter jumping in a puddle in the parking lot where I lived. I want to adapt your painting to reflect my Kate and her puddle. Such a lovely memory!❤
Absolutely loved doing this painting .. so happy and bright reminds me of my 6 yr old granddaughter who loves jumping in puddles and wears wellies even in summer in South Africa :) I would love to see a painting of a sunflower with a yellow and black butterfly - my late daughters favourite flower and when the butterflies are around it makes us think she is with us as she loved anything butterfly x Thank you for the inspiration to explore the world of watercolour
I was jumping in the puddles yesterday in London ( boy, did it rain) Staying in today in the warm and watching another of your immaculate tutorials. Thank you Paul 👍
Delightful. I want to do this so badly. I have a granddaughter (6 yo now) that this reminds me of and I think it would be a wonderful gift to the family. Wish me luck as I am fairly new to watercolor.
Hi Paul.....I haven't done any of your tutorials in awhile or much painting at all. My brother had been quite ill and passed away last week. This tutorial of the little girl jumping in the puddle was just what I needed to cheer me up and bring back my confidence. Thank you so much. Sending hugs from dry California and looking forward to some rain! Now I have to Google how to safely clean splats off my laptop screen......oops!
Wow, was that fun. I loved all the techniques. Especially had fun with the splashes, loved the effect of scraping off the color and adding some color to the masked areas. It all made for a wonderful look. Also found moving the white circles of color from the background very effective. Thanks for this very cool painting lesson.
Welcome back from Portugal. One of these days, I will book into one of your trips! This tutorial reminds me of an old art lesson at school and we had to paint a rainy day and I chose to paint a girl splashing in a puddle. I needed this tutorial way back then ;) Ah, memories. Thank you Paul. Cant wait to give it a go. :)
Just finished this, it was my first one of your tutorials. She came out beautiful! It's incredible watching you paint, you make it look so easy. Thank you for showing me some new techniques, especially the magic scalpel!
This is just incredible. Really must be so satisfying to be able to paint whatever’s in your head or what you see. Was wondering. Where did the splashes come from? Love the look but they don’t happen naturally unless they did back in the day.
Beautiful! You always seem to know just how much detail to add and how much to leave out to create a balanced effect. Thank you for guiding us through this adorable painting!
Thank you, Paul, for this really cute and awesome tutorial! It helps to lighten the mood, too, here, in NC, where our mountain brothers and sisters are really struggling. You're kind to give the U.S. a lift! I love your style and detailed method and ID'ing colors and mixes and for including lots of tips along the way! You're a great artist and instructor! Thank you, Paul! 👍👍
Wow this painting is absolutely stunning and full of joy.🤗 I love following your tutorials and I have learned a lot. The only thing that's still a challenge for me is the drawing part, which is the beginning stage of painting. Thank you for the inspiration.👍
Good day dear Paul! I am very glad to see you again, as always, on Wednesday in your cozy studio and wish you, as always, good luck, health, peace and positivity. Thank you in advance for your video lesson, which helps us master the techniques and methods of watercolor painting. Thank you for your work and I put a like 👍! All the best to you and, as always, until the next watercolor Wednesday! I pray for you 😔🙏 and take care of yourself. Bye...bye...👋👋👋♥️🖐️😊🖼️🎨🖌️🖍️
First time seeing a tutorial of yours. Love the way you start the painting after a short greeting and what a perfect instruction. I learned a lot today, thank you!
Adorable! 😊 She looks like she's having so much fun! Even at my age, I love putting my wellies on and jumping in puddles, just for the heck of it 😂🌧️🌧️
G’mornin Paul , so nice to have you back ! Such a lovely tutorial and the music sounds so good! I had to have foot surgery again and I’m gradually getting back up and painting again , this has been a difficult year but watercolor Wednesday has kept my spirits up and given me something to look forward to ! Thank you for bringing joy with every tutorial ! Blessings to you and Margot from Eastern WA!
What a picture of fun ! I like the mood music too, it fits perfectly with your painting. The touch of Bokeh at the end was inspirational ! Thank you for picking up a wet & windy day here on the west coast.
Vielen Dank Paul, für das schöne Tutorial. Ich habe es heute gemalt und sogar selbst gezeichnet. Beim malen bin ich selber wieder zu einem kleinen Mädchen geworden. Wie schön war es doch, in Pfützen zu springen und im Herbst durch das raschelnde Laub zu gehen, was ich heute immer noch mache. Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz. Christa
Love this. We all have happy memories of jumping into a puddle for a nice splash. Thank you Always look forward to Wednesday and what you are painting. Best part of the day.
Great to see you back Paul. That painting is beautiful, I have some photos of my little grandaughter jumping in puddles in Ashdown forest, doubt I could do them justice though. Love your videos lol thank you 😊
This is so much my style! I saw your video and I was like this little girl…jumping and having my heart beating faster just knowing I would definitly paint it! I love the background, your choices of color, so soft and so vibrant! Bon, j’en suis arrivée à la conclusion….je t’aime encore autant….you are amazing! Thank you for being such a beautiful person shining through your art,🖼️ I apreciate everything about your teaching! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 😊🙏😘
I have recently discovered you on RUclips and have painted the fox and this little person. I appreciate your explanation as you paint and your sense of humour. I also want to thank you for the line drawings. Cheers from Canada.

... thanks ... the splashes came up from the puddle, if that's what you mean?
@@ArtbyPaulClark
Sorry no. I meant the paint splashes. Im sure I’m not using the right terminology.
Beautiful! You always seem to know just how much detail to add and how much to leave out to create a balanced effect. Thank you for guiding us through this adorable painting!
You are so welcome!
Hi,Paul I love the dynamic way the picture comes alive,a real contrast to what I usually see you paint from many other comments welldone.
