Today I figured out why I am disappointed in my painting. I expect it to look like yours, and it's not going to! The ones you shared at the end don't look like yours, and yet they are lovely. And I am having fun! My aha moment!! Thanks!
I can paint in watercolour and acrylics and people like my work, but I Just LOVE to sit and watch a good artist at work. People like watching fish swimming in a tank (hospitals say that is soothing) well for me watching artists paint is a great Relaxant. So soothing. MAGIC ✍️🖍🎨✏️ Thank you for maintaining your Free tutorials.
Great comment BB - thanks!
Oooooo ooooo.......... What a beautiful, wonderful painting it is
Thank you! Cheers!
The art with the park bench and dogs reminds me of a funny peacock story. Our local zoo had a large flock that ran loose. Several years ago I took a friend to the zoo, who was wheelchair bound and had two service dogs (one was trained with a multitude of skills, but too old for the heavy work, and a younger dog in training able to pull and support). The peacocks were fascinated with the dogs.. they wouldn't leave us alone. We wound up touring the zoo with me, my friend, her two dogs, five kids between us... an entire flock of twenty or so peacocks.. and a crowd of human onlookers. It was the weirdest zoo train ever lol.
Lol! That's a great story .... thanks for sharing!
Brilliant in every aspect. Thank you for sharing not only your art, but the How To!
Thank you very much!
Gorgeous! I love painting Peacocks. Those wonderful colors. Thank you for inspiring me to try again.
You can do it!
Paul - I can't thank you enough for all of these amazing tutorials to help those of us in our painting journey. You make it a lot of fun. And easy. I am not the greatest sketcher although I am continuing to learn and taking classes as well. BUT it is great when I just want to get painting to use your drawings and get on with it. But there is ALWAYS a little 'niggling' going on in my mind that says this is cheating. But I am working to 'quiet that voice'. Without your help often I would not begin to try and paint so please accept my gratitude. Keep on!
... many thanks and it's not cheating ... even the great masters would trace!
Wow, the most beautiful yet. More animals please!
Will do and thanks!
Beautiful work and those peacocks at the end are amazing too. Wow!!!! Love them!
Thank you! Cheers!
It’s wonderful I wish I was there and be your student 🍀
We have a space reserved for you Parvin!!!
I loved your painting Paul, but truly enjoyed all the wonderful paintings at the end.
Thank you! Cheers!
Just loved this tutorial. I too love to paint peacocks. I liked your loose style. Thank you for sharing. 🙏
Thanks so much 😊
Super tutoriel Paul! Ma journée préfèré de la semaine toujours hâte de me lever le mercredi matin et voir ce que vous avez peint merci vous m'apporter beaucoup de joie dans ma vie
Merci beaucoup encore
Merci beaucoup Manon!
Oh I can’t wait to give him a go. I struggle with a loose style but hey I loved my cows. Thanks Paul, he’s beautiful. So we’re all the great paintings from Margots challenge. Well done everyone
Much appreciated Wendy - glad you are 'giving it a go!
The life you create is amazing!! Life changing
Thanks so much - very kind!
Thanks Paul! Love your tutorials! Im from Argentina, I joined the group so i can showed what I have painted from your tutorials xx
Cool, thanks Flavia!!
Appreciate your hard work and the sharing of your incredible talent. It’s also a moment to have a few chuckles at your escapades. Thank you!
Wow, thank you for the tip! .... many thanks!
He’s stunning Paul - I love the abstract look - thank you once again
My pleasure Leanne!
Simply Gorgeous! I love how loose it is. I’ve got a lot to learn. Thank you 🙏🏼✨🎨💕
You are so welcome!
Stuuuuun-niiiiiiing!!! 😍
You are my favorite watercolor artist of ALL time, Paul. Your videos calms me so much, and I watch them again and again! Thank you for being you and sharing your amazing work and skill 😊
Thank you so much Masja 😀
Oh so many chances to make mud puddles! But the background is wonderful ~ and in the end, an intriguing composition! The impressionistic tail “eyes” versus the real eye: nice! I’d rate this 10 squawks🦚 👍Thanks for showing us how to do it🙋🏼♀️
Lol! - Thank you very much as ever Sharon!
it is so cool the way you coordinate painting/shirt/beverage! you are so prolific! a whole marvelous instructive and fun video each week. keep your strength up! xox
Thank you! Cheers Sunny!
Wow! So interesting to see how different everyone’s paintings were!! Hope to try it ~ ☀️❤️
You should Dianne!!
👏Congratulations, Paul! Being featured in a magazine is so exciting and well deserved!
Love the Peacock he's stunning the colours are so vibrant! 🦚
Thanks so much Gina - much appreciated! 😊
Thank you Paul for sharing! Wonderful work!
Glad you enjoyed it
So very helpful. I’ve just started watercolor after years of pastels. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Glad you all had a wonderful time in those lovely places. Thank you for this fabulous painting of a peacock. I like the sound of the peacock too. This is the first time I heard the sound a peacock. I know different bird sounds like the rooster or the goose and many others. But this is the first time I heard a peacock's cry. And I must say that remembering from your previous video you spoke about the brands of watercolor. I need to get a good brand. Maybe these brands I am using is not so good. I will have to search in the stores for a good brand that shows up brightly on paper. Thank you again for this awesome video.
Thanks Jillian .... great comment!!
You are just one awesome tutor with your help we are improving our skills tnx is a small word Paul
Glad to hear that!
Congrats on the article, the flashy t-shirt, another awesome tutorial and the glass of cider that lasted all the way to the end of the video! You are a great teacher and the value of your lessons shines through in the creativeness of the artists whose pictures you've posted. All 'round fun stuff!
Thank you! Cheers! ... much appreciated JT
I gave it a go! It turned out fabulous, thanks to your awesome teaching skills! Thanks again from Texas!
You are so welcome!
Your videos are always instructive and entertaining!
Glad you think so!
So inspiring! I started the painting today and going to finish it tomorrow as it's 3am here😅👋thank you so much! What a wonderful video!
Have fun!
That's lovely. Capturing the very essence of the subject, the moment you started painting the background, you could hear the Peacock singing. And the eye, is SOOOOOO alive. Thank you for wonderful tutorial.
Thank you so much Karen 😀
Wow you do have talent around you. These paintings are gorgeous
Thank you so much 😀
Congrats on your piece in the magazine, much deserved recognition! Absolutely beautiful peacock painting. I painted one months ago but wasn’t nearly as lovely as yours. I so enjoy looking at the other artists versions and how people interpret for their own art piece. I love loose animal paintings, many thanks 🙏😁👌
Thank you so much Karen!
I love your “simple” loose style, I will definitely practice this one, following your lead. Hopefully one day I will get to paint with you!
Oh this was really wonderful to watch. The painting is beautiful and seeing others efforts was lovely too. Thankyou😊
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you for this gorgeous video, absolutely stunning.
You are so welcome!
Beautifull as allways, you are a true artist and a great teacher and i love your sense of humor and teashirts. Sorry for my poor english, i wish you and all your loved ones a marvelous autumn.
Thanks so much and your English is very good!
You do such beautiful work with your paintings.
Thank you so much 😀
Yes thank you, I really did enjoy painting this. I'm really happy with my Peacock🦚, thanks to your wonderful narrative 💜🌹

Amazingly beautiful!!
That was brilliant. Thanks Paul. A Beautiful painting. The paintings from the challenge were well done and a pleasure to see. The painting that had the microphone 👍🏼 Creative and along with the sound effects.--Gave me a good chuckle. Will be fun to try and paint this. Cheers!
Fantastic Sue! - give it a go!
I enjoyed the loose blurry effects in the background and the realism that you achieved in the foreground. I loved the delicate curly brushstrokes. Thank you for including the scenes of the group outing, and the paintings by the Facebook group. Loved the whole thing! Thank you !
Thank you very much Kit!!
Thank you for sharing your talents, knowledge and humor! I learned to paint in watercolor from youtube videos over the last few years. I recently found your channel and I feel I have made leaps and bounds from watching and painting along with you. It is also appreciated that you share your drawing templates as this has helped me be more confident in trying new pictures. Great job and keep the camera rolling!
Delighted to help - many thanks!
Thank you for another superb tutorial. The loose version of painting the peacock is very inspiring. We have plenty of peacocks in the open spaces around. See them perched on trees and rooftops, flying, displaying their amazing plumage and of course, calling out to each other so compellingly that one feels like answering back.
Wonderful! - sounds amazing Meera! - love to see them in the wild!
@@ArtbyPaulClark Yes, we are blessed.
Gorgeous Paul! Just gorgeous!❤️❤️
Glad you like it!
I did not know that such methods can be used.. thank you.. learnt something new as a beginner.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey, beautiful painting! I just started following you on Instagram and I saw an amazing painting of a rooster. I am living in Virginia, but I was born in the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico and we love our roosters. Both are awesome renditions: a peacock and a rooster! You have inspired me to start painting again, and I can’t wait to do it! Have been gathering materials, but feel that I’m ready now. Thanks!
That is awesome! - go for it Martha!!!
love your work and your stories along with it.
Thank you very much!
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you! Cheers!
Gorgeous 🙂, thanks for sharing Paul, cheers 🧃🧃
My pleasure!!
Love the abstract!
Cheers Kelly!
Loved it! Even read the article! Brilliant as always!
Awesome, thank you!
Lovely bird, lovely place. Thank you. I hope I get there one day.
You can do it Anne!
Wow! So much creativity and talent on this channel 😍😍😍
Thank you so much 😀
Great! Really came to life when the eye was painted in : )
Thank you! Cheers!
And congratulations 🎉🎈🍾🎊!!!
Cheers Gina!
Great painting I like the way his head holds the painting together, nice. Lovely article in the mag and can't wait for your second book?
Big thanks Marty!
We always love the themed T-shirts. This one especially. That would make a good cushion design too.
I think so too!... I'm on to it!!!
Hi from Russia. Thanks for the detailed and interesting tutorial. I try and sometimes it.
Thanks and welcome
lovely rendition. and lucid too, like always.
Many thanks!!!
Wow Paul, all the artwork submitted is just absolutely astonishingly good. I loved each and everyone of them.I’ve only just painted my second abstract water scene so I think I’m a way off yet. Will give it a go as soon as though.
Paul...I am an anglophile who lives in Greensboro, NC and follows your videos almost daily. 'Just wanted you to know how far your talents go in the world. Thanks so very much!
Wow, thank you Jeanne!
What a lovely painting!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful..absolutely loved it Paul. Thank you🙂
Glad you enjoyed it
I learn more each week from your inspirational tutorials. That's a lovely painting of a beautiful creature. Pity about its call. Thanks again. Andy
Cheers Andy - delighted to help!!!
They really are lovely birds. We have them in Florida too and they are noisy with their screeches. But what’s not to love when you look at them. Such magnificent natural colors. Thank you for sharing Paul. Blessings to you both!
Yes they are Rita and thanks for the nice comment!!
Amazing!Thank you for sharing!!🙌
Paul, this is absolutely stunning! So happy you had a three-day retreat to paint and relax. It's really nice you included video stream from it so we could see the tranquil beauty of it. I also appreciate your detailed instructions on painting this beauty. Putting the reference photo up periodically to give us a better view was a great idea. It really helps. Thank you for another outstanding tutorial.
Lovely comment Carolyn ... many thanks!
I began watercolor few weeks ago and your tutorials help me a lot to improve my humble paintings! thanks a lot for your challenging videos!!
Thank you so much 😀
Oh, the hand of a Master....!!! Absolutely beautiful ....love the magical peacock. Thank you Paul, although I don't do 'loose' well, I am giving it a try - your example is pretty clear.
Keep well and healthy
Thanks Veronica ... you too!
You continue to inspire me!
I'm so glad!
Wonderful tutorial and wonderful works
You're very welcome!
Paul, I started painting in watercolor October 2020, and have learned a lot from your tutorials. I am Canadian but live in Cuenca Ecuador. Keep up the great teaching.
You are very welcome Kelly!
I had the pleasure of watching the video about painting the peacock in water, thank you very much
Thank you! Cheers Hana!
Can't wait to try this one Paul. I love these colours. Reminds me a little of the Aurora Borealis exercise - layering on iridescent colours. Thanks for another great tutorial.
It does! ... very similar colours.
Gorgeous work as always. I have your book arriving later today, ordering the brush set. Can't wait to start my journey with watercolor. Really happy to have found your channel. 👍🏼
Wonderful! - hope you enjoy it Cherry!
Our neighbour’ s visiting peacock pair would enter my house if I opened my frenchdoors. I watch them preen everyday and wonder where to even start painting these magnificent creatures .
You have inspired me and now I’m ready to attempt them. Great tutorial .THANKS!
That is awesome! - great story Angela!
How beautiful must hv a go thank you so much fr your lessons learnt so much everyone paintings are fab 👍
Thank you so much 😀
I've just bought your beginner's book, Paul, and comparing to another I bought, and a much older one borrowed from a friend, I think it might be the very best, especially for the way I learn. Arrived yesterday and looking forward to tackling that Roman bridge later today. Thank you!
Cheers Tom! Hope you enjoy it!
Hi Paul, i love your Tshirt! And of course your tutorials.
Awesome, thank you!
What a beautiful place to paint. Peacocks are cool birds. Thanks for the video. Great shirt Paul
Glad you enjoyed it Vicki!
This is the first of your tutorials that I have followed, and it won’t be the last. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you!
- many thanks and delighted you have joined us!
Thanks for all your tutorials. Love your tee-shirts too. I’m really looking forward to trying this. I think my daughter will too. She’s 6 and loves animals. She’s very excited to find all the animal tutorials that you have.
Hi Paul and Margot, 🦚 Congrats on magazine feature Paul 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ..... well deserved. I was just thinking 🤔 💭......
’ which doesn’t happen often’.... a sprinkle or two of ‘Brusho’ on the tail section of said 🦚 may have given some interesting texture and colours! 😉I shall give it a go at some point ...... already looking forward to the next “Watercolour Wednesday paint along with Paul”.
Oh.... all the best to Cecil and Mildred ☺️
Cheers as ever Chazz - I'll pass on your comment to Cecil and Mildred ☺️
. Thank You Paul, your the best thing to come out of COVID.
Wow, thanks Dale!
Congratulations!!! Cant wait to read the article.
Great to hear Kileen!
Wow stunning, thankyou for your time xx
My pleasure Barbara!
I tried painting this today and ended up with a beautiful blue puddle, with algae... But I am going to keep practicing because of you, so thank you for that
Lol!!! You can do it Manisha! - blue algae can look good!
Thank you for another great tutorial! Mine was.....less successful thank I would have liked, but I think I learned a lot and will try it again!
Beautiful impression of the peacock….great to see the other paintings in so many different styles
Thank you! Cheers Linda!
