Dearest Paul and Margot, I am a 65 years young, New subscriber. Since having found your site, it seems I can't get enough of watching your magical and magnificent tutorials. In only just a few days, I have learned more than I could possibly have imagined. Your tutorials on proper paper, quality paint brands and your best brush recommendations are invaluable. Having taken your tutorials to heart, I swiftly made some adjustments to the tools in my playbox and am looking forward to trying my hand at some of my favorite s. My greatest problem is that I have loved watching each and every one of your amazing creations and I want to try them all. You are truly an artist whose talent displays such a mastery of his craft that the viewer is drawn in from beginning to end on a sort of mystical, magical and mesmerizing journey. Thanks, ever so much, for being, not only a fabulously talented artist, but an absolutely hilarious character with a fabulous sense of humor. Cudoes to Margot...it would seem you have found your perfect mate, as you seem to be two peas in a pod. I look forward to each and every one of your tutorials and know that my own artwork has been immensely improved since having found you. If I could only wish for one thing, it would be for a bit more of your work done in'real time'. It definitely helps to give me a much better sense of the true timing of your thoughtful brush strokes vs the time lapse portions which tend to make me feel as though I must be painting at a snail's pace. I do realize that this might be a futile request due to the time constraints you are under. Now that I have gathered the proper tools, I am ready to get right at it! *My first project is going to be the very first that I feel so fortunate to have viewed, the window with the blue shutters. From there, my list of favorites is endless! Thank you, thank you, thank you....for taking the time to teach and share your blessed talent. A hearty toast to both you and Margot from this little old aspiring artist in New Hampshire, US.
Hi Deborah - what a lovely comment and delighted to be of help in your watercolour journey! - yes, lots more 'real time' section coming in all my new videos! Keep in touch and 'happy painting!'
Happy days, I love watching you draw and paint
Thank you so much 😀
Such a pretty scene. I want to sit on that bench and take it all in. I really enjoyed the real time painting.
Just seeing this and am reminded of the favorite movie, "Howard's End" when Leonard Bast walked all night to walk through the Blue Bell woods. I am loving this.
Oh, yes, I remember that!
You were spot on about the book; Watercolor Plus ! I found a copy and I
wanted to thank you for sharing the info. Excellent resource.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow you are a star here! Thanks for your time and help. Please never stop posting these lovely tutorials.
Thank you! Will do!
Wow! This painting is gorgeous. I love watching you paint in real time, your brush barely touches the paper. It’s like watching your mind think about where to put paint. So amazing. You are definitely the best watercolor teacher on RUclips! Thank you for sharing your talent! God bless you!
Thank you so much 😀
Exactly my thoughts, J.P.!!!
Beautiful painting I loved it watching
You’re a genius Paul! Absolutely love your brush strokes, which create the illusion of your vision.
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic!!! Watching you paint is always a pleasure. You have an amazing talent. So happy you have decided to share it with us.
Thank you so much!
So beautiful. I just love watching you paint. I don't pick up a brush very often, I just enjoy your expertise.
Thank you so much!
Thank you again for your time to share with all of us. Always inspiring on Wednesdays.
Thanks for watching!
This is my third time watching this, and it’s one of my favorites. I absolutely love the heavier pencil drawing and in this case more than if it were an ink and wash. Your colors are vibrant and well placed, as is your lovely style. So full of life! Love your instructions and, of as always listening to you talk. ❤
Thank you so much 😀 - glad you enjoyed it .... 3 times!!!
Those woodland scenes are beautiful and refreshing. You actually teach about nature through your paintings. Many thanks for your lovely woodland painting of bluebells. Really enjoyed this video. According to John Clare, 'All nature has a feeling: woods, fields, brooks, Are life eternal; and in silence they speak happiness beyond the reach of books.'
What a great comment - Many thanks Jillian
Beautiful Paul! I saw some blue bells this morning and thought of you, and - voila! Thank you.
Nino from Australia. I follow as much as possible your watercolours and I enjoy it heaps. I have tried and enjoyed doing a few of yours. I watch as often as I can! And i like your humour 🤣this Bluebells one I loved, and will give it a shot. Regards
Thanks so much Nino!
I love these colors together. Its such a pretty painting. Thank you.
always love a bluebell composition….nice transitional sky colour
Cheers Linda!
I really enjoyed this one Paul. With such a lovely area to walk you cannot help but be tempted to paint the bluebells.
Just one thing - how abut a picture of Molly some time.
As always fun to watch and inspirational. Thank you. I really do look forward to Wednesdays.
Thanks for watching!
I love watching you paint. I wish I lived closer so I could take some of your classes. I'm from Toronto Ontario. Every time I watch one of your utube videos, I am in awe. You are incredible. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds great and thanks - Go Leafs!!
thanks again paul for an informative class. ill give it a go! keep up the good work, we all are so grateful for your generosity.
Simply a delight to watch this come to life.
Thanks so much!
Always knew you were young at heart Paul........... ;)
I tried it out Paul and I think it's come out okay. Thankyou for the brilliant tutorial. Will post it on the FB group. On our side of the world there are no bluebells.
You brightened my day in Michigan, USA! I love everything about your technique.
Thank you so much!
Good morning, Teacher! Lovely place to live :) Thank you for the inspiration
Good morning Paty ….. thanks 😊
Beautiful painting; I love purple. It looks so beautiful where you live. I'm learning how to mix colors by watching your videos every week, and it's really helping me; thank you for that. Love the bluebell cup and your shirt, of course.
Thanks so much Vicki! - 😊
I loved painting this with you Paul. Thank you for all of your tips - very enjoyable and relaxing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you! Beautiful! I would love to take a walk on that lane and then sit on the bench,
amidst the bluebells.
Me too - see you there!
This is gorgeous - and so fun to watch! I am definitely a kindergarten student when it comes to watercolor painting!
Thank you! Cheers! - just lots of practice!
Wonderful! Always the best and practical lesson! Thank you, Paul!
My pleasure!
I have enjoyed watching this tutorial and will begin tonight-we are 5 hrs behind you. You have all the things I'm working on-the sketching(tonal values and proper proportions) and painting with the looseness I so admire of yours. I appreciate that we have to sketch this one as I can be lazy and have been using your templates when provided. Thanks, Barbara
No problem Barbara - have fun!
This is lovely. I think I could adapt it for the wonderful Texas bluebonnets. Thanks again.
You are so welcome!
Love all the color Paul. Also liked the real time segment as a reference to your skill. Love it!🙃
I'm jealous, I've lived all over, and traveled the U.S. I couldn't recall having ever seen a bluebell woods. Apparently we don't have this as a natural phenomenon. So inspiring though
Just love this painting. Paul, even in real time you are so fast. Amazing 💖
Thank you so much 😀
Lovely as always! I love this time of year when all the trees and flowers seem to be springing to life. Your loose painting captures the essence of spring brilliantly!
Captivating! Thank you. I'm looking at the bluebells in my garden as I write. I'll probably start with them.
Andy
Great stuff Andy!
I am learning that I often stop a painting before I have put in enough shadows to finish the composition. I enjoy landscapes. I am a Canadian living in the Andes mountains of Central Ecuador.. I would appreciate a landscape of rugged old mountains and browny mountain meadows and lakes..Scotish highlands come to mind. Having difficulty with the tonal values. Love your tutorials, learning so much.
Love this . Great fun watching you paint in real time. Thanks so much for another great video.
Thank you so much 😀
I love the way you do your traces free!
I have to do it!
I'm so rigid .
Wonderful Paul thankyou!
You are very welcome
Your painting is More than Beautiful 🥰 Paul. Lovely tutorial - thank you very much. 🎨🖌️💙
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you for teaching us with this beautiful painting. I appreciate learning the pencil work.
Thank you so much 😀
Liked! Bluebells...Gorgeous! Very good teaching videos. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Beautiful! You are an amazing artist. I am new at watercolor painting. I love your painting tutorials including the tips, subject, humor and the music that you choose. I always learn something new with each tutorial. Thank you for being the absolute best teacher! You are truly gifted as an artist and teacher. You inspire me.
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you so much, Paul, what an inspiring tutorial, I’ll have a go at that this afternoon… thank you, again.
Have fun!
Again thank you. I painted lupine in a forest in Idaho. I liked your looseness and will try the lupine again.
Wonderful! - have fun!
Thanks so much Paul! I really enjoyed this beautiful Bluebell Woods painting!
Glad you enjoyed it
I just tried this and it was so fun painting along with you! I love how you painted the bluebells before adding the grass and didn’t use any masking fluid! I’m going to apply this technique to other wildflowers. Thanks so much, Paul!!!
Just wonderful ! My fav flower too. You make it look so very easy. Thank you Paul
You are very welcome
Good morning! What a lovely video. I love this happy place!! 😊 🤗

Very lovely Paul. I can almost smell the blue ells x
You and me both!
Thank you so much Paul🙏🏻🙏🏻. So glad I stumbled across your video. I am an absolute novice, sat down 4 1/2 hours today and followed your video pausing, rewinding trying to follow each steps you explained... & low and behold was surprised with the outcome ....
Eager to watch the videos you have already posted and can't wait for new ones... 🙏🏻🙏🏻Massive thanks form a new subscriber.
Lovely! Bluebell woods are so beautiful. Nice to see you use hot press. I have some but have not really tried it much so this will be a good exercise! Thanks, Paul.
Thank you! Cheers Gill - hope you are well!
GORGEOUSLY GORGEOUS!!!
Loved the color of your T-shirt too!
Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much 😀
your tutorials are inspirational and fun.I love the composition and cant wait to have a go . thank you
Thanks so much 😊
Thanks. I'm looking forward to giving this one a go! From Idaho, USA!
Gorgeous painting thankyou for this. I was always told to erase the pencil lines what a great eye opener, I can finally put my pencil lines to good use. Really appreciate your tutorials.
Glad it was helpful!
Paul that's amazing painting! It is so charming! Thank you 💞
Thank you so much 😀
Always greatly enjoy watching your videos! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
One may get panic with initial purple application for bluebell, the way it appears on the paper. But patient working with clear final aesthetics in mind is a patient game. Thanks for this tutorial
Thanks for that!
So beautiful. Awesome painting. Love your videos!
This is beautiful and i will try this painting later tomorrow The colors are wonderful and i thank you for your inspiration
Im also intrigued and enchanted by the lovely voice singing in the background , so very nice to listen to
Great to hear - have fun!
Good morning Paul dear! Thank you for the video, I really liked it! All the best to you, put like and until the new watercolor Wednesday!!💖😊🖐️🙏🖼️🎨
Thank you! Cheers Adela - happy painting!!!!
Thank you! I had great fun painting along. :)
Oh, I love this One! Thanks
You're welcome!
As usual a great painting. Love watching.
Thanks so much!
Hi! Love your trees, beautiful painting live the light in It
A la semaine prochaine et merci encore😊
Thank you! Cheers Manon!
Marvellous, marvellous painting
Thanks so much!
Once again thank you for this beautiful tutorial
Cheers Karen
Hi Paul, your skill is so inspiring and i'm always so amazed watching your tutorials. Thank you so much for teaching us how to paint! Could you make a video sharing your watercolour journey with us?
You are very welcome and will do!
The little white high lights look like white anemones that grow with bluebells, first class touch. A very helpful tutorial, thankyou.
Hmmmm. Just when I thought I wouldn't learn anything new, you proved me wrong. I am intrigued with the concept of going in heavy on the sketch. So far, most tutors emphasize drawing very lightly but this turned out amazing. Just goes to show that one should always experiment and try new methods. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Stunning… you are blessed to live near such an inspirational place. Your trusty rigger performed very well on this painting. The gouache at end… perfection… Thank u for inspiring us to do great things in watercolor..from central Valley California.
Thank you so much 😀
How charming! I think I have "country" envy. Maybe it's because my Grandfather Benson was from England? Wonderful,as always.
Thanks Kileen and we'll raise a glass to Grandfather Benson!
@@ArtbyPaulClark Thank you 😊🥰
Another great tutorial Paul. Thank you
oh I love that and bluebells always so thank you!
You are so welcome!
Your art always inspires me
I have just begun learning to paint in watercolor with no previous art experience, and I find your videos very helpful. And, my husband and I just like to watch your paintings come to life! We appreciate the soft background music that doesn't drown out your comments and get a smile out of your intros and mid-point breaks. Thank you!!!
You are so welcome!
So beautiful Paul . Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for sharing it.... I love to see your tutorials...
Very beautiful and always look forward to your tutorials. It would be great to see how you would do puffins. Not in a bluebell wood though! Many thanks.
Great idea! - Puffins in a Bluebell wood! - on the list!
Yes I’ll let my puffin friends know.
I love it, love it, love it! "Keep it simple." Best quote ever. 😊 I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial. Thankyou
You are so welcome!
A great looking watercolour painting thank you Paul going to have to give it a try one day
Have fun
Computer problems but finally finished. Loved this one. More like this please!!\
Had a go at this Paul. I’m very new to watercolour painting. I love the way you explain everything and am sort of happy with my result apart from the bench which in my painting looks like it’s stuck on?! I wish I could show you so that you could advise how to rectify. Thank you again for your tutorials.
you are a great teacher ....thank you
you are really very good at landscape. especially i like detail work. thanks Paul
You are very welcome
140,000 miles of public walking paths while i have to risk life and limb by sharing an asphalt road with cars and trucks? Yet more evidence for the fact that I am a British soul trapped in an American body. And all those bluebells! So lovely! I especially like the glowing sky in this beautiful painting.
Oh Paul, this is beautiful!!
Cheers Shirley!
You are my teacher! 🙏😊
Thank you! 😃
Just made this for a birthday present for my Grandma!! I hope she likes it! You're an incredible artist!
Thank you so much 😀
I saw bluebells on the tv yesterday and thought this would be a great subject for painting. Lo and behold…
Give it a go David!
@@ArtbyPaulClark I have! 😉
Great spring time painting, so refreshing and fun. Watercolor should be all about the fun.
Great Chanel you explain everything very well I have learned a lot watching you and trying to do some of your paintings always looking forward to your next project…🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Awesome, thank you!
