This 89 year old lady has just started painting and love your instructions. And I love your work, thank you for sharing your talents with me.This picture is way beyond my ability so far, but I enjoy watching you work, and I do pick up information I can use at my beginner level. I am awaiting your book and will devote what time I have left to study as you instruct.
God bless Britain and her people, we in the USA are crying for the loss of your Queen. Thanks for this tutorial, I know I'm going to try my best to live up to your lovely results.
Such a stunning painting. Thank you for no bagpipe music. Darn my masking fluid has turned into concrete .... will have to order some in. So going to do this, loved how you did the reflections in the water. I thought the post was a rugby post, I was arrcchh the Scott’s are a hardy bunch running in for a goal under the post sure you hit a wall but get back up and wipe yourself down, lol. Have a great week thank you for a wonderful tutorial. Wonder what sort of fish is in a loch, well apart from a monster ...... um can I add a little monster to the picture? Yeah ...... nah. See you next week and thank you for a water tutorial aww and fishing boats too! Kia kaha Paul.
Ahhh such wonderful music. Despite being full blooded Scot, living in Texas now, and born in Canada… your choice of no bagpipes was a good one. Love them, but… better for war.. and highland dancing… anyway this is just stunning! You really inspire me to give land and seascapes a try. You make it look so easy with such confident brush strokes. Now to dig out all my photos of Scotland and boats…thanks for this. The way you did the reflections was brilliant!
What a beautiful way to start a Wednesday! Such a serene, calming, and GORGEOUS painting. THANKYOU for this. Hope you enjoy a beautiful, and blessed, day!🙂
As a Scotsman myself a bit of bagpipe would have gone down a treat but the soothing Celtic music was a nice alternative :) Thank you so much for the video Paul.
@@ArtbyPaulClark I love the painting too, and the instructions and have tried a few out over the lockdown period(s), if wall to wall bagpipes isn't your thing, try Highland Cathedral, that's quite haunting, but the Celtic music is ok too. Keep up the great work Paul, the odd dram works for me too.
@Paul Clark I love the colours and especially the moody sky. I could listen to bagpipe music for twenty minutes, or for a lot longer. However for a future Scottish theme painting video consider the music of the fiddle player Duncan Chisholm. Or the acclaimed Mairearad Green from her album Passing Places.
Wow! I Love paintings of boats and (trying) to paint them(Must be cause I live in the Desert) . This one is a stunner! And that background music..... amazing! Never heard anything quite like that. You always amaze me with the final product . You teach many things" Oh Wise One"....Art, music, humor, drink mixology and sometimes just plain Magic! (Never fashion though and that's good🤣) We all appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos and the inspiration they provide . Thank You!
Thank you! Cheers Mate - Glad you like the music too - really chuffed when I found it, by a guy called Jason Rowan. I'll see if I can find more by him for future videos!
You’re my current binge! I have been a multimedia artist/photographer for 4+ decades but have learned some new techniques watching your videos. Keep up the good work, the world needs you right now. 🥰🎨Gail, Ashville Alabama 🇺🇸❤️🏴
I'm learning more than I realize when watching your tutorials. Sketch, composition, focus, value, color, technique, material, inspiration, detailing suggestions, and more to turn a painting into an art. The jokes such as the wrong year at the end of the tutorial is very refreshing. Thanks Paul, you are definitely among the best.
I’m tempted to say...”wot, no scraping” . Fabulous as always Paul. Your style and delivery is perfect. You are inspiring. Lovely music choice too. Happy new year
О, какое чудо,что я наткнулась на ваш канал. Пол, я влюбилась в ваши видео уроки и в ваш голос! Я не знаю английский, лишь пару слов, но все понятно и очень интересно. Я люблю акварель, учусь самостоятельно, вот по таким урокам, как ваши. Спасибо вам, за то что делитесь опытом, за ваши знания, советы, за ваш юмор, вы классный!
Fantastic painting Paul, I’m a very nervous watercolour painter, but determined to crack it! Your tutorial was so easy to follow and love your tips! Huge thanks! Wish I’d found you before now!,
Glad it was helpful Sue - just take it nice and easy and relax and never worry about making mistakes - all you will have lost is a sheet of paper but you will have learned a lot!!
absolutely amazing paul,your such a great artist and make it easy to follow,ive just started with watercolours and once i get the correct wash right(which im getting there thanks to you)i should be ok THANK YOU
Such an idyllic scene ......but I am thinking 🤔 you forgot something Paul! 💭 where are the birds? ‘The dive bombing Seagulls’! ...lol.... I love to place birds in my paintings, whether they are sat on a fence, telegraph wire, perched in a tree or flying high in the sky I think they deserve a place in your serene Scottish fishing boat painting. Which, by the way is beautiful ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 looking forward to your next tutorial. ☺️
It’s pleasure to watch you paint I feel so relaxing and calm I also fall in love with your background music Is it possible that you can share the music ‘s name to me Greatly appreciated 😅
Beautiful painting. I think I'm going to try your white pastel technique on my next painting. I always use white gouach to add some lights but it usually dries pale looking.
Hello from Australia. Quite a while ago I joined a short 6 week watercolour course with our local adult education college, happily I managed to convince my parents; now 77 & 78 years young, to come along with me. Once completed I suggested we continue to get together one night per week, where one of us makes a soup, and whilst eating said soup we watch some youtube tutorials I’ve chosen. Other family members have been joining us more recently, with an average of a 75km round trip to get here, (small journey in Aus really!) we are now joined on and off by sisters, daughters, sons, cousins and partners of all. The amount of soup we now make some nights would feed a small army… and does. We are now heading into our sixth year of enjoying shared creativity amidst quality family time. Between us we have done hundreds of paintings. I found your tutorials around 4 months ago and you are a huge favourite for all. Your videos are amusing (priority), you describe and demonstrate so well, and all the extra helpful things like paint list and line drawings on your website just add to our wonderful evenings. Paul, a huge Thank You from us all for the time you take, your generosity of spirit in sharing your knowledge and just the sheer ‘personableness’ of you is so appreciated. A very happy and safe 2021 to you and yours.
Hi Katy - what a lovely comment and delighted to be there with you in your art group!. You paint such a lovely picture and I can just see you guys sitting around together with your soup and painting!! It's great to know that art, of any kind can bring people together. Say 'hi' to everyone and look forward to 'seeing' you all in the next episode!
Beautiful Paul. I always learn so much from watching and trying these exercises. A question? ...in terms of materials you used ...would a Laphroaig work just as well as the Glendiddich? 😜
Oh WOW!! What a fantastic painting. I was sitting here in awe following your video😍❤. THANK you so very much for showing us all how you did this incredible work of art. Showing how to draw a boat was some kind of "Aaha"!💡 and "Oh great!" for me 🤩😅. Thanks a lot for this too. And your celtic background was sooo very beautiful. I'm nearly 70 years now and started painting (again after 50 years) about 4 years back. I'm still a beginner for not being able to paint as often as I would like. But your great videos are inspiring and help me very much on my way, They are a gift for me. God bless you dear Paul.💐Greetings from Bavaria - Beatrix🙋♀
beautiful painting! and the music too! When I try to put highlights in with white pastel pencils, or white colored pencil, I can't get such nice bright lines. What kind of pastel pencil do you use? I can only get those results with a white gel pen and sometimes that just isn't the right thing. Thanks!
Thank you! Cheers! - here is the pastel I use for highlights! - www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0049UXKGS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Greetings from sunny Florida! I purchased some Pebeo liquid masking fluid, but it's not very liquid. In fact it's sort of pudding-y-ish consistency (American Pudding, lol). Is there a way to make it flow like new again? Or shall I purchase another and hope for a better batch? Cheers! -John F Willis USN
Wow, just wow, Paul! That drawing trick for a boat was nifty. Haha, I would have liked 20 minutes of bagpipes some Albannach or Clanadonia would have been fab. Oh, and that song would be, Led Zeppelin - Misty Mountain Hop. On a side note...Just look at all those likes/views/subscribers. So nice to see your channel grow and all the lovely people that are following I think you'll have a great 2021, Paul! 🍾🥂🥳
Glad you enjoyed it Gina and it's thanks to people like you who have help the channel to grow - thanks as ever for your lovely comments, I always enjoy reading them!! 🍾🥂
As with all your videos, I enjoy them all very much, but with this one, it's the MUSIC I SO enjoyed! Where can I find celtic music like this? I recognized the melody sung by the girl during your demo. Same one sung by another lady on the movie "Rob Roy", just different arrangement though. Beautiful!! And what do you mean no pipes?? Lol, Seriously, I can only take so much of piping music myself--and I'M a piper as well, LOL!!! (clarinet/sax player by trade) Looking forward to more of your videos.
Thank you again Paul for another inspirational demonstration. I absolutely loved your side on figure of 8 drawing of the boat. The whole atmosphere was beautifully captured by your capable planning and execution. I love your confident style and rapport. And all that on just one small glass of cold tea.(least that's what they tell me they use in the movies. Have you ever seen the Scottish Painter Scott Naithsmith's work. His colours are amazing but he is an oil/acrylic painter and uses drones to scan the hills and glens for his work. It was when you were having your wee tipple of Jonnie Walker that it brought him to mind. Love your work and a big thank you again. Slainte☘
I'm so happy to "fall" on your magic tuto !!! You always have good ideas by choosing beautiful landscapes....Learning watercolour on YT since October and now you're my new great teacher. Thank you so much to share your wonderful Art. Happy new year from South of France ;o))
Thanku v much for each abd every details so precisely that it becomes merely a fun while painting confidently. Happy painting and keep us inspired by your brilliant tutorials. God bless.
Love this one. In one of your future videos, can you show us how to mix the colors. For example, when you say "60% X color, and 40% X color" -- how can you tell that you mixed 60/40? Is there a method to it? Sorry, I'm old, so I'm slow. Thanks
Love you're relaxed way of painting, nice music too! Regarding the time of the day a pauze with some sigle malt Whiskey could work for me too! Thanks for sharing you're art, greetings from Belgium, Huguette
Hello from France ,Sir Paul, I devoured all you videos and really i congratulate you on the direction and humor. Magnifique. Your lesson are clear,precise and sharp. Bravo. I realized this little harbour (i made my drawing) I wanted to make watercolor and for a first time, it's not bad. I really like it.
I enjoyed working on this scene Paul. However, I chose to paint directly onto canvas rather than paper - not quite the pleasing result I was hoping for, but .... lesson learnt! Thanks again for your generous and helpful tutorials - I seem to be looking for an excuse to sit down with the pencils (and now paper again :-) !), brushes and paints, it is so relaxing.
Great tutorial! Big fan of the random texturing. keeps out the forced brush strokes and gives a natural "relaxing" look i prefer in watercolor. But for the time being, am watching you do your thing and pretend i am actually doing it, while i make nice puddles of mud on my expensive cotton paper. I shall call it "Study in mud #1,482" one day i will figure it out.
Hi Paul, not long stumbled across your tutorials , and as a beginner had to subscribe 😁 . Love your explanations and techniques ( and humour 🙃) creating your paintings , (and absolutely stunning paintings at that ❤) just a question though , if i would like to recreate one of your paintings , would i be in breach of copy rights ? Thankypu and I will keep practising
hey Paul my name is Dayane, I'm from Brazil and I'm in love with your work I started to paint watercolor in the pandemic and your tutorials are incredible I am a physiotherapist but I am loving to practice something outside my profession thanks for sharing hug, Dayane
Oh! The trick for drawing boats... came just in time. I'm making a painting out of a pic a friend took in Greece. The colours are totally off because it's a very old mobile phone, but the scene is gorgeous with white sand and little boats... that I couldn't get around to draw properly. Now I know how. Thank you!
Just discovered your demos etc on TH-cam. Brilliant. I'm relatively new to watercolour painting and I find your demos easy to follow and inspirational. Must admit I prefer Jura as a tipple. Keep them coming
Hey Paul, Its actually normal , and a habit now to like, and comment (subscribed already) . Amazing tutorial, learning indeed alot, plus the music you chose is really relaxing and it helps to enjoy the process and watching you to paint. Thank you again. :) could not wait to see the surprise Wednesday :)
Thank you so much for your easy to follow instructional videos . I love your music and your soft instructional voice. Help me stay calm while I follow your instructions. Please keep your videos coming and thank you for sharing your drawings.
As a beginner, I might finish drawing one boat before going to the next (beginner mistake). Love the way you flick your brush to make the thin lines. I almost enjoyed the music more, just almost, just.
My initial exposure to watercolor was on PBS many (many) years ago from a lovely Irish gentleman who actually shares your last name... he was fond of the bagpipes for his Scottish episodes and while they are fine in small doses... I can't handle twenty minutes of them ;) .
You are the best teacher.🙏 I learned a lot by watching your videos. The way you paint, you give information, everything is perfect. I have fun while watching. I hope you will take more videos for people who has no chance to meet you. ❤️
Very nice. I thought you could've put a gull atop one of the poles. The Northern lights are not silly to me up here in Fairbanks, AK. (your vid comment). I was very glad to see you washed in boat reflections of the same colors near the end, was getting worried. Sometimes my mixing pallet blends away the original color intent, so I use them before its too late.
Wow. Thanks for that. And daubing the mountain for "mist rolling in from the sea", ha! triggered a few bars of Mull of Kintyre. Thanks for that too = : ~ )>
Beautiful painting and such an excellent tutorial. Normally I don't care for music in tutorials, but this was a wonderful choice of music. Thank you for sharing your talent.
I love to watch you paint, your work is beautiful, thank you so much for sharing your talent I am learning so much from you. I have just started to try painting water scenes and boats and yours are the best. I am painting along with you and I definitely need more practice! Love your Scotch break idea and appreciate the lack of bagpipes.
I just came back to India from Scotland, and my God! Sir, I must say you're an excellent teacher! This totally reminded me of the good times I had at Loch lomond. You have an excellent sense of humour too! The painting is beautifully done and there were so many things to learn too. Thank you! Cheers from India!
I love watching you painting. You are so confident and the result is always so beautiful. You inspire me a lot. I listen to your Celtic music and it touchs my heart. Is it possible to have the name of this cd or the singer’s name. Thank you 😊
Tried this one yesterday, turned out way to dark, I think I overworked the sky and the water, such a nice composition though can't wait to try it again. Maybe I'll give the whisky a miss whilst painting next time too ;-)
I have become a daily follower. Can't go a day without painting and we are out of covid, pretty much, in the US. Love your instructions and thank you for sharing so much of your talent.
Brilliant Paul ereally enjoyed this tutorial as I am just beginning. Please could you tell me where I could find the enchanting background Celtic relaxing music Title and artist.
Fabulous tutorial! I wonder if you could show us your source material sometime, and explain what you are leaving out, and why! I often find that so difficult, like most students, want to put everything in!
I’m enjoying this and I’m taking my time, I haven’t finished yet, but I feel my like my painting has too much yellow reflected into the lake; I think it should have washed it out a bit more and over a smaller space. I tried to lift it and that didn’t work. I don’t know how to fix it, if I reduce if with the blue from the water it will turn green I think. Any suggestions?
Tricky one James - you can always try and lift out with a damp tissue but depends on paper and paint you are using ... dare I say it, but sometimes I just start again!!!
This 89 year old lady has just started painting and love your instructions. And I love your work, thank you for sharing your talents with me.This picture is way beyond my ability so far, but I enjoy watching you work, and I do pick up information I can use at my beginner level. I am awaiting your book and will devote what time I have left to study as you instruct.
Wow, thank you! - you're never to be too old to paint and delighted to help!!!
Norma....you are inspiring
Norma you're an inspiration to us all!
Bravo Norma. I so admire people learning new things, no matter their age.
You inspire me! How wonderful to start a new endeavor! And to think I thought I was a late bloomer at the tender age of 69!
God bless Britain and her people, we in the USA are crying for the loss of your Queen. Thanks for this tutorial, I know I'm going to try my best to live up to your lovely results.
Thanks so much Marjorie - much appreciated
Such a stunning painting. Thank you for no bagpipe music. Darn my masking fluid has turned into concrete .... will have to order some in. So going to do this, loved how you did the reflections in the water. I thought the post was a rugby post, I was arrcchh the Scott’s are a hardy bunch running in for a goal under the post sure you hit a wall but get back up and wipe yourself down, lol. Have a great week thank you for a wonderful tutorial. Wonder what sort of fish is in a loch, well apart from a monster ...... um can I add a little monster to the picture? Yeah ...... nah. See you next week and thank you for a water tutorial aww and fishing boats too! Kia kaha Paul.
Lol Paula, another classic comment! - thanks again for your support and happy viewing!
I love the freshness you always get. I fiddle and lose it a lot of the time. Lovely subject, and yes, lovely 🎶 music.
Glad you enjoy it Heather!!
Wow ❤️
Such a wonderful Watercolor painting 💙🦋
Thank you so much 😀
beautiful scene. I will certainly try to do it soon! thankyou
Have fun!
Ahhh such wonderful music. Despite being full blooded Scot, living in Texas now, and born in Canada… your choice of no bagpipes was a good one. Love them, but… better for war.. and highland dancing… anyway this is just stunning! You really inspire me to give land and seascapes a try. You make it look so easy with such confident brush strokes. Now to dig out all my photos of Scotland and boats…thanks for this. The way you did the reflections was brilliant!
Thanks so much Alison - have fun and perhaps a wee dram!
As usual it was great watching. Such a lovely painting and so much to learn. That tip about drawing a boat is superb. Thanks a ton
Thank you so much 😀
Can’t wait to get paper on my board for this one Paul , thank you for sharing your wonderful work .
You are very welcomeLinda!
Beautiful painting! Great demo! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you too!
Beautiful! Love the tip on getting the boat right!
Glad it was helpful!
Love this one❤️
Cheers Sandra!
Nice one Paul!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi dear Paul
I really enjoyed. Thanks a lot. Take care and God bless 🙏 ❤
And a question.

Not yet Farzad!
Waaaaaaaah
Same to you!!!! - thanks!

Nice of you to say Roy!
What a beautiful way to start a Wednesday! Such a serene, calming, and GORGEOUS painting. THANKYOU for this. Hope you enjoy a beautiful, and blessed, day!🙂
Thank you! Cheers Shirley and thanks for watching!!
As a Scotsman myself a bit of bagpipe would have gone down a treat but the soothing Celtic music was a nice alternative :) Thank you so much for the video Paul.
Over the Sea to Skye would have been nice, too. :)
Glad you enjoyed it - true , I do like them too but maybe not relaxing enough!!

Absouletly stunning!!! Thank you so much for demonstration such beautiful paintings Paul! 😀
Also a beautiful musical selection! So tranquil and soothing to the soul. ❤️
Thank you so much 😀
I'm learning more than I realize when watching your tutorials. Sketch, composition, focus, value, color, technique, material, inspiration, detailing suggestions, and more to turn a painting into an art. The jokes such as the wrong year at the end of the tutorial is very refreshing. Thanks Paul, you are definitely among the best.
Wow, thank you Radianta! - actually the wrong date was a genuine mistake!!!
I’m tempted to say...”wot, no scraping” . Fabulous as always Paul. Your style and delivery is perfect. You are inspiring. Lovely music choice too. Happy new year
Wow, thank you Francis, you too - double scraping next week!!!!

1:27 to 1:30 kind of one of those eureka moments. nice paintings! love the commentary
Great to hear!!!
It’s pleasure to watch you paint I feel so relaxing and calm
I also fall in love with your background music
Is it possible that you can share the music ‘s name to me
Greatly appreciated 😅
Thanks so much! - there are several pieces on the video my different artists the main there is by Jason Rowland
Beautiful painting. I think I'm going to try your white pastel technique on my next painting. I always use white gouach to add some lights but it usually dries pale looking.
Agree - that's why the pastels work so well.
Thank you Paul a fantastic painting good explanation and very usefull merci
You are very welcome - Merci aussi!!

Amazing information about watercolor thanks
My pleasure 😊
Amazing painting paul! thanks for your tutorial! have good day to you and continue so it's just beautiful! I am learning a lot from you. !!
Thank you so much 😀
Great tutorial, thanks Paul. A quick question - is the white pastel pencil oil pastel? I haven't used those before. Thanks again. 👏
Love the background music very very peaceful beautiful painting
Did this tutorial, you make everything so easy...bless you, next time plz do one of an old ship with multi sails, thank you.
Paul as a budding artist who,s learning how not to paint, this is one of your best. Thank you and keep up your good work, its brill.
Mike from brigg
Quick Q - when you use pastel pencil do you put fixative over your work afterwards to prevent smudging?
Beautiful Paul. I always learn so much from watching and trying these exercises. A question? ...in terms of materials you used ...would a Laphroaig work just as well as the Glendiddich? 😜
Yes, absolutely Peter - if anything even better!!!
I think the music is a perfect match for your art. Both beautiful.
Glad you think so Shawn!
Owesome painting with great technics. Thanks lot
I had such a difficult time with this painting. After almost two hours I pitched it in the bin of shame. 😢 on to the next one😊
great tutorial! Loved the music and that is my favorite scotch❤
Wow! So calm and majestic sir. I love it!☺️❤️
God bless you sir.🙏🏻

Amazing artwork indeed!
Yes!!! definitely!!!

So beautiful ...... difficult to do, but not impossible.... Thanks again for sharing your art. Your tips are always welcome.
My pleasure 😊

His colours are amazing but he is an oil/acrylic painter and uses drones to scan the hills and glens for his work. It was when you were having your wee tipple of Jonnie Walker that it brought him to mind. Love your work and a big thank you again. Slainte☘
Thanks so much ... I don't know Scott Naithsmith but I'll check him out - cheers!!!
You are exactly right. The Celtic music is perfect.
I'm so happy to "fall" on your magic tuto !!! You always have good ideas by choosing beautiful landscapes....Learning watercolour on YT since October and now you're my new great teacher. Thank you so much to share your wonderful Art. Happy new year from South of France ;o))
Thanks so much 😊
Very beautiful, thanks alot Paul especially for giving boat drawing 👌👌👌👌👌❤️
Thank you so much 😀
Thanku v much for each abd every details so precisely that it becomes merely a fun while painting confidently. Happy painting and keep us inspired by your brilliant tutorials. God bless.
Thanks so much and to you!
Another beautiful painting. Sure would hang this picture in my home👍. Also REALLY enjoyed the music.👌
Thank you so much 😀 I like the music too!! 👍
Love this one. In one of your future videos, can you show us how to mix the colors. For example, when you say "60% X color, and 40% X color" -- how can you tell that you mixed 60/40? Is there a method to it? Sorry, I'm old, so I'm slow. Thanks
Great suggestion Anita! - a lot of it comes down to experience but the percentages are only guides and rough approximations! - hope that helps!
You do ask occasionally for suggestions. Only just starting myself but a question...Do people do portraits in Watercolour much???If not why not😀
Oh, yes and there are some very good ones on TH-cam, unfortunately I'm not one of them! 😀
Beautiful Celtic music much appreciated..but who is this lovely band ? Thank you … ✏️🎨🖍 🥃 Cheers!
Hiya - the music is by Jason Rowan
Love you're relaxed way of painting, nice music too! Regarding the time of the day a pauze with some sigle malt Whiskey could work for me too! Thanks for sharing you're art, greetings from Belgium, Huguette
That's a great idea! - thanks Huguette
Hello from France ,Sir Paul,
I devoured all you videos and really i congratulate you on the direction and humor. Magnifique.
Your lesson are clear,precise and sharp. Bravo.
I realized this little harbour (i made my drawing) I wanted to make watercolor and for a first time, it's not bad.
I really like it.
Merci aussi Laurence and welcome to watercolour!!!
I enjoyed working on this scene Paul. However, I chose to paint directly onto canvas rather than paper - not quite the pleasing result I was hoping for, but .... lesson learnt! Thanks again for your generous and helpful tutorials - I seem to be looking for an excuse to sit down with the pencils (and now paper again :-) !), brushes and paints, it is so relaxing.
Thanks for sharing Valerie!!
Very nice and peaceful, Paul. Looks pretty chilly, though. (Brrrrrrr). Another great painting. Thank you. :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tutorial! Big fan of the random texturing. keeps out the forced brush strokes and gives a natural "relaxing" look i prefer in watercolor. But for the time being, am watching you do your thing and pretend i am actually doing it, while i make nice puddles of mud on my expensive cotton paper. I shall call it "Study in mud #1,482" one day i will figure it out.
Lol!!! - very funny - you'll get there, just lots of practice!
Hi Paul, not long stumbled across your tutorials , and as a beginner had to subscribe 😁 . Love your explanations and techniques ( and humour 🙃) creating your paintings , (and absolutely stunning paintings at that ❤) just a question though , if i would like to recreate one of your paintings , would i be in breach of copy rights ? Thankypu and I will keep practising
Welcome aboard! - No issue with copyright - a credit is always nice if you show it anywhere!
Thank you so much handsome man, for all your wonderful tutorials. Keep up the good looks and the excellent work! Cheers!....;-)
Lol!!! - Glad you like them!
OMG!! Beautiful!! And love, love the music! 🎶
Glad you like it Jill!
hey Paul

and I'm in love with your work
I started to paint watercolor in the pandemic
and your tutorials are incredible
I am a physiotherapist but I am loving to practice something outside my profession
thanks for sharing
hug, Dayane
Wonderful Thanks so much Dayane!!
Oh! The trick for drawing boats... came just in time. I'm making a painting out of a pic a friend took in Greece. The colours are totally off because it's a very old mobile phone, but the scene is gorgeous with white sand and little boats... that I couldn't get around to draw properly. Now I know how. Thank you!
Wonderful! - glad to help!
Just discovered your demos etc on TH-cam. Brilliant. I'm relatively new to watercolour painting and I find your demos easy to follow and inspirational. Must admit I prefer Jura as a tipple. Keep them coming
Thank you so much - Eric! - I can see with a name like yours you've got a little more knowledge than me on the tipple!!!
Lovely pic. I was enjoying the music there towards the end, then you said it was Celtic music; I don’t like Celtic music! (Just jesting)😎
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey Paul, Its actually normal , and a habit now to like, and comment (subscribed already) . Amazing tutorial, learning indeed alot, plus the music you chose is really relaxing and it helps to enjoy the process and watching you to paint. Thank you again. :) could not wait to see the surprise Wednesday :)
Awesome, thank you Rini!
While i am 25% Scott (Stewart), i do appreciate not hearing bagpipes thru this video. As always, great work and very informative.
Lol Karl - I appreciate that!
Thank you so much for your easy to follow instructional videos . I love your music and your soft instructional voice. Help me stay calm while I follow your instructions. Please keep your videos coming and thank you for sharing your drawings.
Thanks Arleen ... and will do!
I feel like I'm watching the floyd of art 🤣😂
I'm binge watching. Love your art
Great to hear - love a bit of Floyd!
As a beginner, I might finish drawing one boat before going to the next (beginner mistake). Love the way you flick your brush to make the thin lines. I almost enjoyed the music more, just almost, just.
Glad it was helpful Charles!!
One of my favorite tutorials
Would love to see more boats paintings
So I had a glass of 18 yr Glenlivet half way and couldn't find my brushes
Lol!!! love that Jim!
My initial exposure to watercolor was on PBS many (many) years ago from a lovely Irish gentleman who actually shares your last name... he was fond of the bagpipes for his Scottish episodes and while they are fine in small doses... I can't handle twenty minutes of them ;) .
Lol!!! - thanks as ever!
You are the best teacher.🙏 I learned a lot by watching your videos. The way you paint, you give information, everything is perfect. I have fun while watching. I hope you will take more videos for people who has no chance to meet you. ❤️
Thank you so much 😀
Very nice. I thought you could've put a gull atop one of the poles. The Northern lights are not silly to me up here in Fairbanks, AK. (your vid comment). I was very glad to see you washed in boat reflections of the same colors near the end, was getting worried. Sometimes my mixing pallet blends away the original color intent, so I use them before its too late.
Great comment Carol - thanks!
I'm thankfull for your wonderful sharings, me happy too.Have a good workings all together.
Thank you! You too!
Wow. Thanks for that. And daubing the mountain for "mist rolling in from the sea", ha! triggered a few bars of Mull of Kintyre. Thanks for that too = : ~ )>
Glad you enjoyed it!
I found the Celtic music you chose very soothing and love your advice on drawing a boat!
Awesome! Thank you Carol!!
Beautiful painting and such an excellent tutorial. Normally I don't care for music in tutorials, but this was a wonderful choice of music. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Glad it was helpful Jo!
For those who wonder, the music is "Dream of Tomorrow" by Jason Rowan. Just breathtaking, and there is a better 'tomorrow' just ahead :-)
Thanks for that Brian - and the sentiment.
I love to watch you paint, your work is beautiful, thank you so much for sharing your talent I am learning so much from you. I have just started to try painting water scenes and boats and yours are the best. I am painting along with you and I definitely need more practice! Love your Scotch break idea and appreciate the lack of bagpipes.
Thank you so much Pam!
I just came back to India from Scotland, and my God! Sir, I must say you're an excellent teacher! This totally reminded me of the good times I had at Loch lomond.
You have an excellent sense of humour too!
The painting is beautifully done and there were so many things to learn too. Thank you!
Cheers from India!
Wonderful! - very kind of you Solanki - glad you enjoyed your time in Scotland!
I love watching you painting. You are so confident and the result is always so beautiful. You inspire me a lot. I listen to your Celtic music and it touchs my heart. Is it possible to have the name of this cd or the singer’s name. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much 😀
Hi Paul.... Lovely watercolour great technique and style with your work always a joy to watch. Hope you and your family are well take care.....
Thank you! You too David!!
Tried this one yesterday, turned out way to dark, I think I overworked the sky and the water, such a nice composition though can't wait to try it again. Maybe I'll give the whisky a miss whilst painting next time too ;-)
Lol!!! - I find it can help ... but perhaps just one!!
I have become a daily follower. Can't go a day without painting and we are out of covid, pretty much, in the US. Love your instructions and thank you for sharing so much of your talent.
Thank you so much Kaye!
Brilliant Paul ereally enjoyed this tutorial as I am just beginning. Please could you tell me where I could find the enchanting background Celtic relaxing music Title and artist.
Thanks Tony - the music is 'Dreams of Tomorrow' by Jason Rowan - I got it from Pond5
Lovely painting! Lovely music! Lovely sense of humor! What’s not to love! And a wonderful maestro!
Thank you so much 😀
Dear Paul, could you make your pdf template sketches with white background please, thank you.
You are the best!
Do my best Maria!
Fabulous tutorial! I wonder if you could show us your source material sometime, and explain what you are leaving out, and why! I often find that so difficult, like most students, want to put everything in!
Thanks - Great suggestion Rennie! - I have done this on some of my recent videos
I’m enjoying this and I’m taking my time, I haven’t finished yet, but I feel my like my painting has too much yellow reflected into the lake; I think it should have washed it out a bit more and over a smaller space. I tried to lift it and that didn’t work. I don’t know how to fix it, if I reduce if with the blue from the water it will turn green I think. Any suggestions?
Tricky one James - you can always try and lift out with a damp tissue but depends on paper and paint you are using ... dare I say it, but sometimes I just start again!!!
