I've been painting for almost 5 months now, with no previous experience. I "hire" a youtube tutor through Patreon for a month, then move on to another one. So I'm following you now, and wow, am learning a lot. I'll definitely leave a tip in the jar. You are gracious to share all these tutorials for free. Your paintings are more advanced than what I've done, but you give lots of help along the way. Somehow you make me feel more like an artist instead of a copier. Thanks for posting and for the fun along the way. Loved the human ladybug!
Thant's great to hear .... thanks so much!
Great video Paul, you and Margot are such a laugh 😂 you always brighten up the week, beautiful paintings, thank you 😊
Thank you so much Pauline 😀
Beautiful seeing you put in the different layers.
Glad you like it! Di 😁
Lovely ladybirds, Paul, and I particularly liked the one frolicking through your daffodil-filled garden!!!😁🤩😍🐞
Glad you enjoyed it, Lol!
Merci pour vos tutos, ils m'apprennent énormément !!! J'adore vos aquarelles !!! Merci.
I have become biggest fan of your work. Lessons are so helpful for upcoming artists.
Grateful Sir 🙏
So nice of you
Wow thank you so much Paul and such wonderful paintings by everyone
Glad you like them!
great video and a warm feeling , good laugh , hello to lovely Margo.
Glad you enjoyed it
LOVE your Margot-Ladybird cameo.😊🐞 What a joyous touch to an (as always!) excellent tutorial.
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you Paul, really love your style.
Glad you enjoy it!
You blew me away with the way you used the dark greens to bring out the shapes of the 'petals' in the tight version! Go, Paul, go!
Very kind - thanks jay!
Wonderful and love seeing Margot in the garden💜💜
Cheers Katherine!
Another super tutorial, did you know that the collective noun for a group of ladybirds is a loveliness. Very apt I think ❤
I didn't know that Sue, how great is that! - thanks for sharing! 🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞
Another exciting watercolor Wednesday. Thanks Paul really enjoyed this one.
Glad you enjoyed it Jerry!
I liked the second painting better. With too loose, I tend to try to make it look better over and over again. LOL. I tried using my Princeton Neptune b rushes, but they hold too much water for my liking or lack of control. Thanks Paul It was fun. PS. All the FB postings of Ladybird are so good. I want to get beyond the stage of just copying the tutorial and creating my own version. Great Job everyone.
Many thanks for the comment!
The shell us called an elytra. Love your tutorials. Thank you.
Good to know! - cheers Dot!
Thank you Paul !!!!!!
Such an amazing teacher!
Thanks so much Karla!
Loved the ladybugs, and the bumble bees!! How about loose vs tight dragonflies? I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. Thank you!
Great suggestion!
Waking up to see -ladybugs- ladybirds in the morning is such a treat.
With my coffee that is. 🐞☕
(I'm Canadian. But "Ladybird" is such a superior name for those little beauties!!")
🐞 - Great to hear thanks Lily!
I have been watching your videos literally every day and mimicking you with the way you flick the brush across the paper for over a month.
Today, l decided to give it a try at the 1st ladybird painting . I did it under a 1/2 hour as you said, and l was quite pleased with the results l got considering my skills are at a beginner stage your tutorials are fun to watch, easy to undestand and follow.
Wow loving your videos. I usually paint in oils, you have given me inspiration to do watercolour
thank you.
Thank you so much 😀
A really great video really enjoyed watching very you paint the Lady bird pic You are very cleaver chap
Glad you enjoyed it Annmarie!
nice video that shows a serene moment and the beautiful English countryside which is not always serene! Your lady COCCINELLA (that's what we call her in Italy, I live in Mestre, opposite Venice) brings your watercolors to life!
Thanks for sharing!
I have missed Margot in her costumes! Bravo!
Cheers Lora! ... I'll let her know!
Good Morning Mr Clark! Springtime done by my favorite artist. Again a bullseye. Off we go!
Thanks for watching Barbara!
Love your tutorials, Maestro
Glad you like them!
I loved both of them so much but the more detailed one I loved more it was more to see in a way thank you for teaching me more r
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, love your tutorials, and for reference in Portuguese ladybird is joaninha 😋
Oh thank you!
Thank you Paul and Margot for brightening my Wednesdays with your tutorials
Our pleasure Elaine!
🤩 Love watching your videos Paul 😍🥰🥰🥰 amazing work 👍
Thank you so much 😀
I enjoyed this video more than all others
As usual loved the paintings !! Thank you Paul and special thanks to Margot for wonderfull participation today !! I enjoyed it so much 😀🤗🤗
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the Lady Bird painting! I really like them both! I also find Margot quite a good sport for dressing up in her costumes. ☺
I totally agree! Thanks
Thank you for this beautiful paintings. In Germany we say Marienkäfer 🐞
Wonderful! - thanks for the info!
Stunning , loved Lady bugs since I was a child in the Karoo❤ Interesting fact that surprised me, apparently they are carnivorous....
Great to hear - thanks!
This is really a sweet little watercolor! You Brits have a wonderful sense of humor! You (and Margo) always make my day.
Thank you so much 😀 Nancy!
I can’t believe that I’ve been so busy I am just now watching your video. I’ve been feeding baby squirrels by hand, cleaning my house, teaching a class, making a paludarium with a waterfall for my turtles, feeding baby squirrels (oh I said that already.) lol they take up a lot of time.
I really enjoyed this video. Ladybugs are good luck if one lands on you. Maybe it’ll be lucky to paint one too. I thought the 2nd painting was incredible with all the details. I hope I get a chance to try it.
That's great - thanks for sharing this Jacqueline!
What an interesting experience. As a 'loose painter' I just kept thinking on the second one, "Okay. We can finish up now." Cheers to you detail painters. You have stamina!
Many thanks!
As always your videos are great!
Glad you like them!
Love your paintings and your humour! You are letting me enjoy creating art, even though I never thought of myself as an artist - your videos are so clear and concise!
Absolutely delightful! I love ladybirds! 🐞🐞🐞
Thank you! Cheers!
You and Margot are such a delight! I learned so much!!! Thank you Paul
Wow, thank you!
Thank you so much, wonderful tutorial .
You're very welcome!
Lovely spring paintings of both Ladybugs.
Cheers Tanya!
All the pics for the challenge are so good that it was hard selecting which one to pick for painting. Unfortunately don't have much time for painting now. But with this tutorial, I am going to attempt at least these two paintings. Thank you and Margot for making me keep in touch and motivated in these tough times. God bless🙏
You can do it Meera!
@@ArtbyPaulClark Thank you
Lovely…who doesn’t love ladybirds..a magical little creature
So true Linda! 🐞
Aloha Paul and your dear lovely Margo, from the beautiful Big Island, Kona Hawaii. I've never heard of them called Lady Birds but they were always a favorite of my Momma's. They are near and dear to me and my Sissies ❤. I will give them ago when I get back home to cold, wet Woodinville, Washington. The tulips fields will be popping with colors soon. Mahalo! 🌺
Great to hear Cheryl - have fun!
I loved your demos and also from your your followers. Inspiring to say the least. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
My favourite is the Volkswagen Beetle in Ladybug design. It's Marienkäfer in German btw. Very easy to speak like Hahnemühle ;)
Thanks for sharing Claudia 👍
Thank you Paul! No matter how many times I watch you, I always learn something. Kathy from
Ontario, Canada
Wow, thanks Kathy - great to hear!
Inspiring art works! Nerd alert. The front wings of beetles have evolved into a tough carapace called an elytron, the individual "wing" is an elytra!
Love Nerd stuff! - thanks for sharing!
Another great video! Thanks from Ab, Canada🎉😊
Thanks for watching!
Loved seeing everyone's paintings. So good!
Glad you enjoyed it!
i love your videos and style,thank you
Thanks for watching!
I really appreciate you telling us what colours you are using as you use them. That's something most of the other videos I've seen fall down on. There are two things in a painting that I find brings a painting to life. That is the very dark shadows and the white highlights. Thank you for the great videos. You are painting my favourite subject which is ladybirds. They are part of my own signature on my own paintings. I have subscribed. 🙂
Loved that video. Thank Margo for flitting around in her ladybug costume; it lifted me out of my funk today, and thanks to both of you for making this crazy world a better place.
You are so welcome! - delighted to help!
Awesome tutorial! Love the music, too, especially the song right when you signed your artwork.
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful painting...OMG all those paintings from your face book group just blew me away...especially the car looking like a lady bug..cute idea.I have one request for u....can u make detailed painting series about birds ,starting from small and moving to bigger ones...thanks in advance
Hiya - check out my channel I've done quite a few birds including, peacocks, parrots, blue tits, seagulls, owls and eagles: ruclips.net/channel/UCC2uMZ7qWrsCUorYdZbi8OA ... also - check out next weeks tutorial!
Oh I love this Paul and I love Ladybirds - a real sign of Summer and great for keeping the greenflys/Aphids off the roses!! I look forward to painting these two. Thank you so much. Great tutorial.
Glad you enjoyed it Dearbhla! 🐞
Brilliant Paul 😊
Cheers Gwyneth!
Love this video-have learnt a lot from both paintings. BTW, and do check this, the flower in the second one looks like it *might* be the bud of a pink scabious flower (they're also rather more attractively called "pin-cushion" flowers, and look very different to the final flowers). Hope this helps, and whatever the flower, many thanks, this was great!
Thank you! Cheers! Looked it up and I think you are right 👍
Great colors and shadings both light and dark on these two wonderful paintings. Looks so much like real. Thank you for these fantastic paintings.
Thank you so much 😀
Top class art work
THANK YOU
Thank you too!
Beautiful little watercolours. I think your flower in the more detailed painting is an Astrantia.
Thank you so much 😊
Some beautiful ladybird paintings. A lovely subject beautifully presented by you Paul. Thanks again.❤
Glad you enjoyed it
wow...... so impressive
Many thanks!
Gran maestro Paul, gracias.

Wow....that second painting is amazing!

Both the paintings of the adorable ladybird brightened up my Wednesday immensely. Our Facebook group is very active too!

I really enjoy your tutorials but I especially love the ones where you contrast loose with tight. I love seeing what your face group members produce too. Impressive! Brightened my morning🌻 Nice outfit Margot 🐞 That brightened my day too 😃
Oh thank you Nancy!
I have just started following your videos and love them. Recently I ordered a book off of Amazon that had good rating as a tutorial for beginners. I just realized that it is your book! Love both!
Wonderful! Thanks so much 😁
Fantastic tutorial with these two styles of painting 🐞🌷🖌🎨
Thank you so much Ann 😁
Really enjoyed this tutorial. You make it look so simple.🙈 I'll definitely give this one a go.

Glad you enjoyed it Neil!
I love your videos, thank you for bringing joy to so many of us...
Glad you like them!
Thank you for all your lovely tutorials. I would love another about colour and the properties of the different pigments, as I struggle to really understand this 😊
Great suggestion! ... on the list!
Loved this! It's late here in Michigan and I was just going to watch the first part but I was hooked. So nice to see the works at the end too! We call them lady bugs. It didn't hit me until about the middle that you have a different name for them. Thank you and Margot too!
Cheers - thanks for the comment Theresa!
I learned something about lifting! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I love ladybugs, I have one tattooed on my foot. I'll definitely try this one! Thank you, it was great fun to watch!
Wow that’s great to hear, you need to post a photo for everyone to see 🤣
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Simply beautiful!
Cheers!!!!
Brilliant as ever, Paul.
Thanks so much!
Great tutorial, very entertaining, too, and the wine looked delicious. Thecway my attempt has turned out, anyone would think I'd been drinking thd wine myself! Haha. Thank you for all your efforts, Paul and Margot. Truly appreciated.
Lol! - love that Lesley!
