Mr. Clark, I do not have enough words to express my gratitude for sharing your work with us. You give what you know and the knowledge that you have accumulated with so many years of work, you do not have any selfishness and allow us to learn from you. I wish many of the so-called greats learned a bit from you. Thanks again for your time and for your talent.
Wow, thank you JG - that's one of the nicest compliments I've ever had and I'm very grateful. I get enormous pleasure from doing these videos and sharing what I've learned, mainly because I've enjoyed the learning the process from others over the years. Keep in touch as there is lots more to come!!!!
@ J G you expressed my feelings much better than I could.
Have more to add but a wonderful soul Mr. Clark is.
My favorite place to be- beach & the waves are most special.
Maybe you paint a happy beach someday less somber & grim?
I am so glad I have found you on youtupe, amazing to see you watercolouring, thanks a lot, greetings from Gent, Belgium, linda
Mr Clark l have come across your videos on RUclips n l spend hours watching them over n over again! It's absolutely mesmerizing for me as l am a retired old school teacher who finds a lot of joy n solace in painting n am new to the techniques of watercolor.When the Pandemic has created a shadow of death over our heads here l find your videos a great place to learn something new. You are a wonderful teacher who is ready to pass on the great techniques you have accumulated in your treasury through your hard work. In lndia we call it Guru(teacher) sishya(pupil) parampara (tradition of transmission). You hold nothing back....all the knowledge is for those who want to learn. So Guru l wanted to say agrateful thank you. I know l have a long long way to go but l will try very hard sir. My pranam(salutation). Indrani Niyogi.
To Indrani... your comment inspired me, at 68 to learn to Watercolor is going to be an adventure. I too admire Mr. Clark... so kind and willing to share. Take care ... Pam from California 🌺🌴❤
Fond memories of the Sussex coast, after leaving school at Patcham I used to cycle the coastal path from Saltdean to Brighton to work, waves used to crash over the top of me, or the seagulls would attack lol. Great video lesson, thank you 👍🏻
Thanks Robert, lovely comment. Know Patcham well - I live just along the coast at Bexhill!
Greetings from Canada, Mr. Clark. I'm a complete novice in water colours and your videos are an immense help to me. Who would have thought of using a knife to scrape in wave effects? So thank you so much for your generous gift of your talent and tips.
That's great to hear Lynn - and good luck in your watercolour journey!
This is by far the best art RUclips channel about watercolor, thank you very much 🌹
Thank you so much 😀
“By the sea , by the sea, by the beautiful sea!” - that’s me singing ! How envious I am that you live near the sea and how happy am I that I found your wonderful tutorials ! Thank you Paul !
Wonderful - thanks Leanne!!!!
I enjoy your sense of humor and your teaching talent, thanks!
I appreciate that Maria - many thanks!
Don from Williamsford, Ontario, Canada....Love the tutorials...Learning from my mistakes...better days ahead!

Mr Clark, I can't thank you enough for your time and expertise, I look forward to trying your techniques.❤
You are very welcome
Thankyou so much for your tutorials. They are brilliant! I’m a beginner and I have learned more from you than anyone else. You describe things so simply and I love the way you create texture and light. I’ve just ordered your watercolour book and can’t wait to read it and learn from it. Like everyone else has already said you a selfless person willing to give your expertise to us for no cost of which I am truly grateful. Please please don’t ever stop! I’m just finishing the picture of the art and fruit shop and loving it!
That's so good to hear Pat ... and no plans to stop!
Enjoyed this for a second time. Your waves are amazing!
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you for sharing this in such detail Paul. I am a self taught water colourist but I have always feared to attempt painting a seascape.. I shall try now. Thank you.
You are very welcome
Fabulous, Fabulous! So much to learn. Thank you so much. Your videos are wonderful. Wish I'd found you sooner, but so anxious to paint along and learn. Thank you, thank you.
You are so welcome Tara!
All I can say is “Wow!” This is so beautiful and you make it look effortless!!
Thank you so much!
Wonderful tutorial, Paul. I love your work. This has inspired me to try a sea scape. Thank you so much
Wonderful! That's very kind Ritu and so pleased you're going it have a go!
Thank you! Wonderful that you included so many techniques for painting a crashing wave.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello Paul,I come from East Sussex,and went ‘down to the seaside’ often with my family and when I was at the Art faculty of Brighton Uni.I’m in 🇨🇦now.LOVE YOUR ART,You are the best water-colourist out there!!! Thank you from my heart ♥️🇨🇦
Hi Jean, many thanks - I know Brighton uni and the city very well - great place! ♥️ 🇨🇦
I don’t know how I missed this one; but so glad I found it! Paul, if you only knew how much your art inspires me! It is also very relaxing in these difficult days of 2020. Thank you for caring and sharing these beautiful pieces with us all! God bless you!
Wow, thank you too Charles for watching!!!
I’ve always wanted to paint an ocean wave, but it looked impossible. Even though I’m not sure I’m advanced enough to try this, I may try some small waves in my sketchbook, thanks to your sharing this tutorial. Thank you so much!🐚🌊🙋🏼♀️
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for giving us such a great teaching.
You are the most selfless and talented teacher.
May all the good be with you.
Thank you! 😃
I can feel the spray. My next project. Thanks Paul !

Beautiful to look at and captivating to watch you paint it, I've tried for years, thank you.
Thank you so much 😀
Hello from Toronto Canada,
I have been binge watching your videos. I'm a beginner and have learned so much from you and feel inspired. I love your humour, your comical acting and the video music.
Thanks so much for everything and I truly appreciate you.
Awesome! Thank you so much Linda from Toronto .... Go Leafs Go!
Subhanallah!Really love how you catch the feeling in every painting!✨
Thanks Amina - that's very kind!!!
Paul Clark ✨💕
Your an absolute hoot,great artist and inspirational to watch happy holidays ❤️🎨
Thank you! You too! - many thanks
Thanks Mr. Clark, for your very simplified steps for this lovely seaside video. I know I’ve picked up quite a few tips from this lesson. Love it!
Delighted to help Mangai
This is the best seascape watercolor tutorial I have ever seen. This painting is a very energetic,sparkling and and full of life.I am eager to paint this . Thank you very much sir!
Wow, thank you Meena!!!
Beautiful! Love the waves you can feel the spray. Do you start with fresh color from the tube with each painting ?
Not always only when I run out!
Love that, thank you. My son also lives on the south coast and I just love those sea views.
Q - how do you know when you’re done? I have a habit of fiddling and not knowing when enough is enough.
Hi Dilys - that's a great question and it's one I ask myself every time I paint! - Many a time I've ruined a painting by overworking it - but I've taught myself to stop when there is enough info to suggest what the subject is (if that makes sense!!) It's always good to be a little vague so the viewer has to interpret things for themselves. It's probably the hardest thing of all and I know many artists struggle with it. I guess a lot of it comes down to experience and not trying to be too literal when coping a reference photos.
So beautiful! I learned a lot about painting realistic waves. Can't wait to try this one. Thanks, Paul !
Brilliant as always, Paul! Thanks so much 😊🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Paul, I like the fact that you give us percentages of each color to make a mixture. But how do we measure out the percentage a out?
Thanks Josephine - the percentages are really only a guide - it's really about experimenting and just mixing your own version to be close - if that makes sense!.
Thank you for sharing with us! So much to learn! You make it look so easy! (Your background music is really irritating 🙃)
Thanks Virginia - I think I had the music set a little too loud on this one!
The music was too loud and the voiceover too low. But still a great demo.
😂😂😂 LOVED your intro!!! Kudos for going all in!! And thanks for all the great seascape tips!
Glad you liked it Lisa!! - still got water in my ear!!!
Fantastic. I want to try to paint this. I love your style. Thanks.
Pleasure Sara - give it a go and let me know how you get on!
I don't know whether to think of you more as an artist or more as a magician..... MAGNIFICENT AND BREATHTAKING. I wish I lived in England so I could take a course with you.
Thanks Elliot that's very kind of you! - keep in touch!
Thank you so much for sharing this Mr. Clark! I've never found artwork so much fun than when I am learning from your videos and jumping off into the deep end by trying myself! Thank you!!!!!!
Beautiful painting! Awesome tutorial! Thank you for sharing of your immense knowledge and creativity!
Hi Paul,
21 years ago I chose hospitality to BA Fine Arts. I'm 43 now and applying this year to pursue my dream. Your videos gives inspiration. Keep up your good work.
Fantastic! - good luck!
Just found you today Paul! Very inspiring and definitely going to have a go at this beautiful seascape. My husband was over the moon when he spotted the Hammers mug! 🤣
Great to hear ... up the Hammers!!!
Some great tips as always. Love the way you created the breaking wave. Thanks Paul. Keep on splatting!
Glad you enjoyed it Chris!!
Turned 75 this May and started watercolor watching and sketches. I have picked up quite a bit of techniques from you. Thanks for your exciting presentations.

So soothing to watch you paint, like this one very much! Some of your techniques, like the one with plastic card creating rock texture, I never saw before. Also enjoyed your sense of humor.
Thank you so much 😀
An absolutely fabulous tutorial. Thank you so much. I just love your channel and your humour.
I've learned so much since starting to binge watch all of your videos. I don't remember how I found you but so glad I did. Thank you so much for offering these tutorials. I can't wait for your next one.

Thank you very much!
That’s just beautiful. I’ve always struggled with waves of any sort really and this completely opened my eyes to your brilliant method. I’m going to give this one a shot and do my first ever beach landscape. Thank you, thank you, thank you
Gorgeous, love all of them! ❤
I've always enjoyed watching you painting. You make it looks so easy to paint. You're amazing!!! Thank you for sharing.
This is the first time I’ve watched this tutorial. I’ve always scrolled past it because that wave intimidates me. You make it look so easy though I know it isn’t. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. I loved how you weren’t afraid of the water at the beginning of the video and your sense of humor for allowing a dunking.
I'm so glad!
So beautiful! I love watching and everytime I can learn something.

awesome teaching material Mr Clark... thank you and I really enjoy it
Love the splash of the waves and your paintings using the techniques you demonstrated. Beautiful work! I live by the sea too (California) and have taken photos of waves crashing on rocks with hopes of painting them but wasn’t sure where to start. Thanks to your video I’m going to give it a try.
Wonderful! - have fun!
Wow, wow, wow. Your painting is amazing. You have inspired me to try again. I am a real beginner. I tried watercolour painting about 12 months ago but gave up because i didnt think i was good enough. Started watching you tube painting tutorials again a few days ago and came across your tutorials and i want to try again. This one is probably my favourite, i just love seascapes. Thank you so much. You make it look easy and have inspired me to try again. Thank you.
