The Bridge Works Beautifully…. A touch of realism…PERFECT!
Very kind - thanks!
Spontaneous paintings always make me spontaneously happy!
I'm so glad!
The bridge just adds that finishing touch
Thanks so much!
What fun! At one point looked like an underwater coral reef.
Great to hear - thanks!
Excellent Paul! You did this spontaneous piece proud. Several wonderful techniques demonstrated. Thanks so much for the kind shout out too!
Thanks Steve - always enjoy your channel!
Before you added the bridge I thought of a jungle, the light being a waterfall. The bridge makes the picture. Beautiful.
Thank you so much 😀
Absolutely with the bridge. It gave it a completed feeling.
Thanks so much!
The bridge was the perfect finish to a great spontaneous landscape. Thanks again, Paul.
Many thanks!
The bridge is perfect! It looks like a floating forest with a path to a cave.
Great to hear - thanks!
Lovely sky reminds me of Northern lights. I feel the bridge tied it together. Wonderful.
Great to hear - thanks!
Enjoyable experience watching your painting evolve!
One commenter called adding the bridge a "story waiting to be told." Indeed, the rope bridge could be telling my story, the tale of how I, a city kid, used to spend summers with my grandparents who lived in the Appalachian mountains in a narrow valley (or hollow/holler) between two high hills rising on either side of the road that ran up the hollow and the creek that ran down it. At times when an exceptionally heavy and long summer storm would happen, the rushing water carrying logs and such from higher up the hollow would cascade down the valley and take out the bridge, and we were all stuck on our side of the creek until the waters receded low enough for the bridge to be restored. It was exciting for the grandkids, but trying for our grandfather, I'm sure. Our grandparents were rather self-sufficient with gardening, chickens, and such, so we were never in any danger of starving. After university, I've traveled widely in the world, but my fondest memories are of the sweet times in that narrow valley doing things like wading in the creek catching crawdads until my feet looked pickled, and I'm a girl! Sorry to be long-winded again, but it had been some time since I remembered how exciting it was to sit on the porch and watch the creek rise until something came along and crashed into the bridge. Thanks for the memories!
Really interesting memories. Thank you for sharing!
I would read this book or watch this film. You have a gift for story-telling
i;m a newbie here. Addicted to tyler childers, lol. so looking forward to following Mr. Clark tho.
Lovely comment - thanks so much for sharing!
Before the bridge, I felt I was under the sea! Love this!
Many thanks!
I love the spontaneity of this landscape . Watching the ink run and bloom was fascinating and enjoyable. Thank you for sharing so many techniques.
With, but add the look of a waterfall. So much fun! Thank you so much for sharing your marvelous talent.
Thank you very much!
I love how the bridge ties the painting together
Many thanks!
With the bridge!!! It’s genius idea ! … as long as you don’t ask me to walk on it 😱.
You encourage us to make a mess, exactly what’s forbidden for grown people.., thank you so much for that great experience!
Love that! - thanks!
Beautiful spontaneous landscape! Team bridge! 👍🏻
Go team Bridge!!!
Paul, I love it with the bridge!! Bring on more of your abstract tutorials for inspiration.
Thanks, will do!
Looks brilliant. The bridge brings it all together, in my eyes😮
Many thanks - glad you enjoyed it!
Love this! Each painting tells a slightly different story. Both are beautiful.
Thank you so much!
That looked fun. Definitely, loved the bridge addition.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is great, especially with the addition of the bridge!
Glad you enjoyed it!
These remind me of the beautiful flying islands in Avatar-gorgeous colours-thanks Paul.
Very welcome ... yes, see what you mean!
Yep... bridge adds unity to the composition I feel. Nice work Paul 👍
Thanks for listening
Love the change in technique
Spontaneous, intuitive and fun
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really enjoy your spontaneous paintings. I felt like I was in a beautiful dreamlike valley, while I watched your brush work its magic. It is so beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much 😀
It is lovely with or without the bridge. This style of painting allows the imagination to soar. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Thank you so much 😀
I love doing loose landscapes like this and have found that putting one thing in that is clearly identifiable, like the bridge, brings the whole thing together. I love the bridge.
Many thanks - glad you enjoyed it!
Definitely with the bridge! It has an almost Japanese silk print, feel to it. ❤
Great to hear - Many thanks!
Loved the bridge addition. At first I was like wow where is this going and then out of the mess a beautiful landscape!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The bridge adds an element of suspense, as if I'm reading a novel. I want to know the story behind the bridge! Beautiful painting, Paul.
Thank you very much!
I love them both, but the addition of the bridge makes it feel more romantic somehow!
Great to hear - many thanks!
Love this Paul..mmm..maybe without the bridge. Watched a podcast yesterday of Will-I-Am being interviewed and he said that as soon as you start to be concerned about what others think of your work, you stop being a creative person. This video today is truly in keeping with just being your best creative self. Thanks so much Paul.
My pleasure and thanks for the great comment!
The bridge is a good addition. Fun to watch the painting develop.
Thanks so much!
Love the bridge addition. Feels like it connects both sides.
Glad you like it!
I like it with the bridge and even imagine a nice waterfall running below...thank you Paul!! amazing atmospheric work!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love your spontaneous paintings. Thanks ❤
Glad you like them!
Wow, this is exactly the kind of painting I want to get into and get lost in.
It's just superb!
When I first saw this tutorial pop up, I honestly didn't think I'd be into it. I LOVE it! And definitely with the bridge! I will be trying this one soon.
Awesome! Thank you!
Love the bridge it finishes it off and makes it look like something you roamed across out in the Amazon!! Gorgeous
Thanks so much! 😊
This was mesmerizing to watch. So peaceful. I think the bridge pulls it all together
Many thanks!
Good afternoon, dear Paul! These spontaneous paintings are a real challenge, they only look simple in interpretation on Master's hands (like yours). In reality it is not this simple, you have to define a good pre-plan before starting. And to have a great imagination, what is also an ability not for everyone 😊 great tutorial as always! Thank you. Greetings from Moldova, Lilia
Many thanks Lilia!
A stunning job Paul!! Love the bridge and the birds, you always Amazed me how your bring life to a sheet of paper.
Thank you so much 😀
You certainly have a way to make Watercolor Wednesdays interesting !!! 😊 I also watch "MOW", Steve Mitchell, another great teacher!!! Ok, Sir Paul, I liked it best without the bridge!!! For me, this is a wonderful way to just play with watercolor... no plan... maybe to view my favorite colors! Thank you for sharing from an inspired California Gramma❤ God bless you!!!
Thank you! Cheers Ann
Without bridge ❤ the spontaneity, water & pigment🖌
Great to hear thanks!
Lovely
Steve mind of watercolor is so immensely talented.
Looks like his brush is his wand.
Agree with that!
With the bridge - just lovely.
Cheers!
With the bridge gets my vote. It makes the picture seem more real... like a fantasy of a place that has inhabitants somewhere. Yours turned out beautiful. Mine was trash... but fun! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks for voting! - have another go ... it took me 3 attempts!
Absolutely beautiful. It was so relaxing watching this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just stunning Paul… the bridge lovely touch!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the bridge! Beautiful painting.
Thank you! Cheers!
Lovely! The bridge is a delightful finishing touch. 😎🎉🥰
Thank you! 😊
The sky reminds me of the northern lights. Lovely! And very nice to call out Steve Mitchell & his Mind of Watercolor channel. I’m learning a lot from both of you! 😊
Thank you so much 😀
This is really magical, a fabulous tutorial! I prefer it without the bridge, it sort of stops my eyes from wandering into the wildness. Better without anything man made as it’s too beautiful to spoil! 😌. Thank you for this and everything Paul. ☺️
Thank you so much!
At the 10:50 mark, it took on an aquatic feel. Like a beautiful coral garden. I love it! Bravo Paul.
Thank you! Cheers! ... ye I can see that!
So happy to added the bridge! Although it would be very scary walking across it! Off to try this now…thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊
That bridge was the perfect touch!!!
I've been practicing spontaneous painting like Steve does it's fun! And I finally got one I like LOL!
Excellent, I'm a very old lady who paints a bit with watercolors. You have converted me to this technique.
Wonderful! - thanks!
You're a wonderful teacher and it's such a pleasurable experience watching your videos. You think of the whole experience for your students/audience, including stunning music to match. Thank you!
Very kind - many thanks!
Well I seen a waterfall through the middle so the bridge makes perfect sense to me, I love it
Glad you like it!
Definitely the bridge is IN. Love this effort Paul, so exciting to watch it unfolding. Thankyou once again😍😍😍
Glad you enjoyed it
I’m in love with your demonstrations….. You’ve re awakened my Love of Water color…. Thank You 🙏🏻
Wow, thank you!
That is utterly Gorgeous, Paul. IMHO - the Bridge is a Beautiful finishing touch - it gives the painting even more depth, a feeling of balance AND a flavour of Japan.
I Love it! You are a genius!
Thank you for this Fabulous tutorial.
Love, Mel in Devon 🍰🌻
Thanks Mel from Devon!!!
It started looking more snd more as an underwater seascape, and once I saw it I couldn't unsee it😅 Even the birds became fish and the bridge the skeleton of a submerged ship. I've tried the spray bottle but need to seriously downsize. Yes your painting is amazing 😍
Thank you so much 😀
Just Brilliant ❤
And of course with the bridge it looks complete 😊
Thank you so much 😀
I thoroughly loved watching this evolve and getting the feeling of the atmospheric foliage falling from the mountain sides. I do like the bridge it gives that extra depth. You make it look so easy, I’ll keep trying, but not yet archived a good painting. Easier said than done 👍🖼️ thanks Paul
So glad you enjoyed it ... and give it a go!
I love the way the rope bridge "forces" the eye to see an embankment in the middle of the painting--without changing anything else. Very well done! I learn so much by watching--and painting along with--your videos.
Great to hear - thanks!
I like with. I personally think this is the best idea how to practice colour characteristics with more or less water as well as with acrylic ink. Your relaxing approach to teaching watercolour is really easy to memorize and utilize in my learning how to paint.
Great to hear thanks!
Definitely with the bridge.
I was painting along with you and the result was totally different. But yes! I had a wonderful time.
Wonderful! Great to hear - thanks!
A beautiful result, thank you Paul ... very inspiring and yes with the bridge!
Glad you enjoyed it
Incredible how the painting slowly took shape literally from nothing. I like to imagine a huge waterfall in the background. Beautiful and you make it look so easy, as always. Super!
Thank you so much 😀
I also envisioned a waterfall! Will get to painting soon...we'll see if I have the nerve to add a waterfall!
I do love your spontaneous paintings. This one definitely has an ethereal atmosphere. The bridge completes it. Love the colours. I will definitely have to try this and introduce it to my painting group. One artist has benefitted from the last spontaneous demonstration and think would like to see this one. Great imagination Paul, great tutorial too, as usual. 👍
Thank you so much 😀 - hope your group enjoys!
You definitely did not ruin it. I love the spontaneous color splashes and drips. I would send you a photograph of Multnomah Falls from my neighborhood in The Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, USA if I could. This painting reminds me of it.
Thanks so much!
The bridge tied it together. It absolutely belonged in it.
Great to hear thanks!
The bridge is brilliant and totally made the painting - it really fires the imagination!
Great to hear - many thanks!
I was subscribed about a year ago when I did a couple of your tutorials, the seagulls and the snow scene with red telephone box at Bamburgh. I really enjoyed them but my painting went downhill and I gave up. Now I feel is the time to try again and re subscribed today and this tutorial dropped into my announcements. What a mad idea (in a really good way) as no one can say if you got it right or not so I will be having fun, and probably wasting a few sheets of paper but who cares😊. I have a lot of catching up to do on your excellent tutorials but I have the rust tractor prepped and ready to paint. No idea what it will turn out like but I will never know unless I get those brushes wet again.
With regard to the rope bridge. I think it works well with or without. With the rope bridge there is an implied context to the picture, before the rope bridge I saw the light area as a waterfall so it works both ways for me. Many thanks and glad to be back🙏
Thanks so much Graham - great comment!
This is such a mess in the best possible and beautiful way ❤ I loooved the bridge idea because it makes you think about the painting more
Great to hear - thanks!
So beautiful. Love the bridge. Thank you
Thank you too
Thank you Paul, this has such an ethereal quality, totally mysterious and inviting ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is delightful. Otherworldly and I love the bridge. A magical adventure awaits.
Great to hear - Many thanks!
That was fun. I love both paintings but I think I like the one without a bit more :)
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow!! I didn’t see it coming. I could not figure it out. Great Job, and a great artist 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
I love the bridge. I love paintings that make you think, this one is very mystical, I bet there are lots of fairies living there. Thanks
Great to hear - many thanks!
Thank you, Paul! It’s so refreshing to just (as you say) relax and experiment!! It appears so freeing because it just evolves as you paint! I’m going to try this one soon!!
You are so welcome
That looks so freeing! I like the one with the bridge. It turned out so beautiful and ethereal.
Thank you! Cheers!
I love the bridge added in.
Many thanks!
Loose and abstract painting is quite a freeing feeling.
Glad you think so - many thanks!
Looking on your tutorials on my tv where I unfortunately can’t comment. However, there fantastic! Love the humorous, but still serious way of teaching watercolours. So nice that you add how to mix colours, perspective, ‘mixed media’, composing… etc. Thanks for all inspiration-earlier I was only painting in acrylics, now I love the living watercolours.
Kim from Sweden
Awesome, thank you Kim!
I see the Aurora Borealis in the background and I prefer the painting with the bridge. It’s a small detail that really works. Beautiful color choices and painting. Thank you.
Cool, thanks!
It's turned out so beautiful.. Like the valleys in the movie Avatar 😊 lovely and to the left looks like a cave. like it without😊
Thank you so much 😀
Love the bridge and thank you for resisting filling in the bottom corners with paint. It has an other worldly feel to it. I am afraid of heights and will not go across the bridge!
Thank you so much!
With the bridge. I love it. I could get lost in it. I come out of the cave and cross over the bridge and explore the other side.
Great to hear - many thanks!
The bridge was perfect!
Very kind - cheers!
This is so beautiful and something I definitely want to try. The bridge is a lovely touch too. I was thinking the left side looked like it could be a tree house, and the bridge added to the illusion. Thanks for this marvelous video today! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
My pleasure - many thanks!
Your spontaneous painting is beautiful. Loved your creativity with this one.
Thank you so much 😀
Definitely with the bridge, it looks lovely.
Thanks so much!
I immediately thought of this as an underwater scene, perhaps a magical cave - then came the bridge. I love both. I think it must be such fun because you do what want and you choose the colours you like. A bit of light relief! Thanks very much, Paul. 🙃😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi Paul, I sure love this painting it seems to be a waterfall from the mountains. The trees are beautifully painted with dry brushing and the bridge brings the connection between the mountains. Thanks for the tutorial I will give it a try.
You are very welcome
Loved it especially with the bridge and that “oriental” music too! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
With the bridge, Paul! Love it.
Cheers Jane!!
