These short videos (Tree, Grasses and Rocks) are some of the best simple instruction/demos I've seen with watercolour. You show us how to do it, and it is (relatively) easy to see similar results in my own practicing. Wonderful repeatable examples. Thank you for the hints on brushes, stokes, salt and splatter, and especially the sharpened wooden brush end.
The mystery of painting realistic rocks has been solved because of your excellent, clear instructions! Words cannot express how much I appreciate your videos and tips. Thank you. ♥
I really appreciate the breakdown of each technique, and then show us an example of that technique in a completed piece- it really helps to see the step by step and then to see an example- thank you for making these techniques so accessible!
I learned more in the first 3 minutes of this video than I’ve learned in 10-20 minute videos. As always, your videos get right to the point and have clear instructions.
WOW! I've found your channel because someone wrote about it in a review of your book on Amazon, and now I watch all the tutorials one by one :-) I am watching this one for the second time, because it is so packed with tips... Both the channel and the book are real gems. Thank you! And I'm looking forward to the video on painting grass :-)
Inspiring, I have a chest of drawers in my dining room that is bristling with extremely expensive watercolour equipment, I have had it years! I have now retired and have been getting it out to have another go. I have left most of it in the cupboard as I find having so much stuff just messes with your head. I have just ordered your book and I may come and see you when this awful lockdown finally goes away. In the meantime I will watch and learn from your great videos.
Thank you so much. I study geology and since I do have an art background I thought I would challenge myself to learn watercolour to do better field sketches (an important element in natscience I hadn't expected). Rocks are incredibly tricky, but I look forward to try out some of these techniques! Slightly off topic - I struggled with my field sketches for quite a while, tried to do smaller studies of rocks but just couldn't represent the material. Then I saw what a classmate had drawn, asked her for tips and she just said that it all came together when she switched from pencil to ink pen. I did the same, and bam, instant rocks! It's so satisfying to just discover a technique that just unlock your potential.
I learn so much by watching your tutorials over and over again. And I must say: Your's are definitely my favourites !! What I struggle most with is animal painting and specially the fur. That is disappointing because I love animal painting as giraffes , wolves, bears, rabbits, dogs, cats, elephants, hedgehogs, squirrels etc. So I would really love some animal tutorials ??
Thank you so much! - here is the link to my channel - if you scroll through you'll see I've done at least 20 tutorials on birds and other animals, including fur! ruclips.net/channel/UCC2uMZ7qWrsCUorYdZbi8OA
Your incredible unique instructions for individual parts of a painting I.e. trees, shrubs rocks, etc. have given me the courage to compose my own paintings instead of just copying others. Thanks I used to do watercolors years ago, and am, thanks to you, able to update and improve some paintings I did in the 1980’s. Especially fun for me now that I’m entering my 80’s years.
I started while your color very late in life like around 50. And then about 5 or 6 years ago I got very sick and couldn't remember how to paint. It was so frustrating that I quit. And while I'm not a professional I have sold many pictures all the way from 75 to 450 dollars I made a commitment to start painting again in 2024. I have lots of books but I thought I'd check on RUclips and I discovered you. I love your style and will continue to watch and learn as I can begin painting again. Blessings and love from New Mexico
I am not good doing projects at home but when I get motivated to do so...I look forward to painting this picture with the rocks; lovely, lovely painting!
I have a plant in a granite rock piece that I have been keep redoing for the last few weeks because I'm just not satisfied with it. I can't wait to try the using a credit card. Such a creative idea and I think its exactly the type of look I am going for. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such an easy to follow & understand manner. Cheers!
Love your straightforward approach and explanations for painting rocks. Your instructions are easy to follow, and my rocks actually look like rocks! Having a lot of fun with the lifting out techniques using the damp brush and the scrunched paper towel. They create such wonderful effects.
This was such a most helpful lesson; your method makes sense. Your rocks are so varied but beautiful! Using all your different techniques is a good reminder to try all the instructions you have provided in your paintings! 🙏🏼
Thank you Paul for your generous gift of your free tutorials during this epidemic. I have so enjoyed many hours of viewing and learning. You have a wonderful spirit.
Beginner painter. Videos are incredibly helpful. I love the rock lesson as I am working on a painting with rocks and had no clue where to begin. Thank you.
Absolutely love the techniques ... Have been struggling a lot to paint stones for a long time ... will definitely try these techniques... Thank You so much! 🙂
Paul, I recently found you on RUclips and since then have been hooked on to watching your videos. You are the best teacher I have come across. Thank you!!
I've had a difficult time painting rocks for many years. This video was so enjoyable start to finish. I can't wait to try the plastic card technique on rock number 5! The different planes on some rocks have especially challenged me. Thanks!
I just found you when trying to find a tutorial on painting rocks. I’ve just been painting watercolor for a year and can’t wait to see your other tutorials. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much MAESTRO, for the beautiful techniques for painting rocks in watercolor. Love them!!!!! Wow!!!! Your paintings!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
To Mr. Clark im an artist my and ❤ love your water tutorials i haven't view them but like what i see. Thank you. I'll keep watching. Take care sir happy painting.
Thanks Paul for your calming approach to inspire others, like me not long been watercolour painting so very helpful I find the video. Just found you on RUclips and would like any videos you're putting out, greatly appreciated stay safe
Thanks very much Phillip and a BIG welcome - Link below to my channel if you haven't seen all the other videos: ruclips.net/channel/UCC2uMZ7qWrsCUorYdZbi8OA
Your tutorials are some of the best I've found on RUclips....detailed info on colour, brushes and texture and with a bit of humour for good measure. Thanks Paul..keep on splatting!
Again a wonderful tutorial on rocks! I have some pictures I took with streams with rocks under the water and water rushing over them. Would love to see you do a lesson on this. You are great!
Hello-iv'e been asked to paint Morro rock in California, with waves coming up on the shore, Im sure this tutorial will give me some ideas for watercolor!
THANK YOU! This was so helpful as you went slowly and step by step to assist me as a beginner. I had to complete an assignment for my watercolor class, first drawing the rocks, then transferring my drawing to complete a watercolor picture. It's been such a struggle, but now with your help - I'm feeling more confident.
@@ArtbyPaulClark, I watched your video on rocks & one of your paintings at the end of the video piqued my interest. It was the one with the rushing waterfall gushing through the gorge. How was that achieved? I thoroughly enjoy your videos & have subscribed.
Paul, Thank you for all of your tutorials! I am just beginning to paint and your lessons have been very helpful! I'm not a real fan of rocks but I find myself wanting to paint them now. I was talking about them last night at the dinner table and here I am this morning showing my family and am ready to give it a try, wax sitting right next to me.
I keep watching more and more of these videos. I have no idea when I can try them but I shall. You have some wonderful techniques, thanks for sharing your talent yet again. 😊
Just what I needed as I am about to start a painting with a boat and some rocks. As a beginner, I am finding your instructions clear and helpful…and love your sense of humour too! I’d like to know more about hard and soft edges…when to use them and when to avoid them.
This was such a most helpful lesson; your method makes sense. Your rocks are so varied but beautiful! Using all your different techniques is a good reminder to try all the instructions you have provided in your paintings! 🙏🏼How do I get out of this it won’t stop oh dear oh yeah I don’t
I'm a "never tried it but admiring from a distance" newbie to your splendid videos. My granddaughter and I have tried coloring some sketchy type colour books. The sketches look like something you would've drawn... nothing precise... loosely drawn scenery! I was happy with the plain sketch!😄 Thanks for sharing! Love your art! I hope your art pops up on u-tube... I subscribed but haven't seen a video for 6 months! ???
I love all these ideas. haha I was making it so much more complicated than it has to be. Of course I am sure my efforts will not compare to yours, but I have a wonderful place to start with this. Thank you!
Wow 🤯🙌🏼! You truly teach!! Your demonstrations and explanations are on point and very well put together… thank you for sharing and teaching, I am learning and gaining new perspective from just watching you!!
I love rocks, always have, and I thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity to learn how to do them justice when painting them. Thank you Paul. These examples were so realistic.
Thanks, Paul.. great tutorial!!!! A quick funny story about painting rocks... my dad is a watercolor artist and about 25 years ago I sat in on one of his classes and did my best to paint rocks as he taught the class. When I was done, I showed my painting to my husband and son, and my son, then 5, said, "why are there potatoes on the beach?".... so.. that's when I decided that my talent did not lie in watercolor painting :) But I so admire those who have this wonderful talent!
Thanks. I have struggled with rocks. Your humor fascinates me. Took me a minute to understand your cheese joke. Being American, I am slow to the British humor. Once I got it, I did laugh! Keep it up.

I would love to see more city scape tutorials! Or some landscapes from the states.
I learned more in the first 3 minutes of this video than I’ve learned in 10-20 minute videos.

I love your videos. I think you are the Bob Ross of the internet.
Wow, thanks! - a big compliment to be compared with Bob, but think I've got a bit of a way to go yet!... one day?
Brilliant techniques and such an easy flow! You don't labour it, you just glide - and it makes the painting delightfully light and fresh.

Lol! - That is awesome! - thanks for sharing that! 😍
Thanks. I have struggled with rocks. Your humor fascinates me. Took me a minute to understand your cheese joke. Being American, I am slow to the British humor. Once I got it, I did laugh! Keep it up.
Thanks Sara - most people in the UK don't get my jokes! - more coming soon.
Yours are the best videos well explained, nice and slow and no crazy music....that's why I subscribed to your channel.
