Hi Paul I am 81 years old and am going to try my hand at watercolors after dabbling in acrylics for a few months I plan to watch many of your tutorials which are excellent and I have recently purchased your book on watercolor for beginners thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with us
Just saw this video. Howdy!Kathy from Texas. I love water colors and did a bunch up until a couple years ago. Then I got breast cancer. My whole world came to a screeching halt. I was too sick from chemo , radiation treatments and surgery to do anything. Fast forward to now. I'm cancer free and trying to get back into my painting and sketching. Motivation has been very difficult,but I watch your videos every single day and it's helped tremendously! I've finally picked up a brush again and I've sketched a few things in my sketch book. Feels so good to do this again. I'm very rusty but I'm getting the feel back slowly. Thank you so much for your inspiration and I love your humor. You have helped me tremendously. Oh and I just got your book the other day. It's wonderful. Thank you again and God bless.
I watched this video 10 mins ago and I'm still smiling! I really appreciate the humor and the life you put into your teaching! It's so much fun to watch and it makes the lessons stick, too! As many others have commented, I look forward to your videos each week. The time and effort you put into this is so appreciated! Thank you!
The humor, intrigue, effort, brilliant advice and pep talk you put into this video have me dumbfounded. You're such a generous man to do all of this for us, and your love of watercolor and desire to share the happiness it's brought to you is so inspiring! Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💙💙
I started watercolor painting as a type of therapy. It has helped my anxiety & depression so much!! Your videos & tutorials are so helpful & educational, yet very encouraging! Thank you so much!!
Wonderful advise ! Loved the candle light scene * gave me a * giggle* just about spit me cuppa hehee* and one of my all time favorite stories . Wishing you & yours well and Thank you so so very much for all you do . Now for that second cuppa :)
Something I learned from being a lifetime crafter is that there are no mistakes. They are just happy accidents. Something we learn from and that's why I'll be practicing in my sketch book for a while and making use of your sketches to build up my confidence before I try sketching to paint. I'll be making use of photos to sketch from but I'm alot closer to getting there since I found your tutorials. Thanks a million
My pleasure Gina - thanks for the compliment..... it must have all started when I played Captain Von Trapp from the Sound of Music in the school play when I was 16!!!!!
Hahahaha😂 funny part.. that's quite similar with all the artists like Me who has dipped brushes in their tea☕ mostly.. Thanks for the commendable video once again with your great humor🥰
This is the best video...very small but effective and informative for beginners like me... Your sense of humor is just unmatched...I laughed a lot with that cup of tea fumble and candle light paint scene...incredible...
I can't believe they made Downton Abbey without you!!! 😉Please continue your videos ... love them... this was helpful in seeing your desk size as well... & your organization. By the way, maybe Downton needs you in their 2nd movie... God bless you! Gramma Pam from California... I just may practice from bed for my first go...🌺🌴
Paul, I'm so glad you keep re-emphasizing to not be afraid of failing. This is so true! I need to make sure I have a talk with myself and embraces the joy of painting and accept that part of learning is failing and that I'll learn something from it and I'll continue to improve as I, 'go for it'! 😄 I just want you to know how much I enjoy your tips and I think I'll have a go at them. And please don't lose your sense of humor! I so enjoy smiling and even laughing out loud especially the bloopers with the cauliflower! Your the best and thanks so much for teaching us how to watercolor and not give up and GIVE IT A GO!!!
Paul, your music in your tutorials keep me coming back for more and more videos. Well done! My ears love your videos in the background and my eyes keep getting distracted back to the screen with your wonderful talent. This is a great way to get distracted into entertainment! No3 rigger FTW!
You’re a crack up 🤣 thanks so much. I’m an absolute newbie. These tips are great. The last tip is the best for me. I’m a perfectionist & I tend to get frustrated really easily. This has been a great help. I’ve saved this video and will play whenever I start to get frustrated 😊🇦🇺
I have watched your videos and many by other watercolor artists. I keep coming back. Some of them even mentioned your videos and loved your style, humour and wit. What I love most is that you get through the topics quickly - even at high speed - but enough to cover the basics that I can try on my own. Watercolor painting is fast becoming a new and relaxing hobby along. with photography - I have tried woodworking, 3D printing and other more dangerous and expensive ventures- nearly losing a limb and a finger in one, but watercolor is safe, inexpensive by comparison and so much more enjoyable. Thank you for helping me find something I will always cherish.
That was a lovely dramatic candlelight moment 🙂 I hope I continue to enjoy painting.. Am trying my hand at soft pastels too... And I thought I was there only goonk to rinse my brush in my tea 😁... It's some sort of fatal attraction.... For the cup of tea I mean....
Hey Paul ! Glad I found your videos on you tube ! I must say that you are amongst the best watercolor instructor -teacher I came about ! Also, thank you for your time and effort In producing these informative videos!! Greetings from Castellabate, Italy!
Today was a bad day for serious reasons linked to...do you understand? So, to relax myself at the end of the day and "lift" my mood, 'cause I couldn't paint (no time), I decide to view a video of Paul Clark and this one doesn't let me down for the sympathy, the beautiful place I saw and the wise words I listened...NEVER GIVE UP! The power of art, of music...feeling good, enjoy yourself...WE CAN!
I never realized until now that I keep my main palette on the left and special paints on the right. Coffee is in the far upper left because of the accidental dip in the coffee. Lol. I dont play music, but I put a bird feeder outside the window to listen to the birds feeding. I started watercolor painting to relax after working graveyard shift. Great video!
I saw this advice today and I am wondering why I didn't saw it first. Anyway this is one of the best advice not only art but also in life we always have to learn from our mistakes and keep on moving forward. And the most important point never give up. Thank you Paul for this video take a bow from me.
"Tidy desk, Tidy mind!!" 💡🤓 Hey, I missed your blue mug here! About that, I have a couple of thermos cups with lid when I draw. 😉 By the way, what a great actor Hollywood has missed! 👏👏🏆🎭 THANK you very much, I enjoyed this video a lot 🙏
Love the tips and the liveliness you add to it through humour! (I think we'd watch a period drama with you in it ;P) Thank you and look forward to attending a workshop some time!
😂 Ohh wow the joy of humor in this wonderful video of Tips. I really love 💕 the tip of the not dipping into the tea ☕️, aka one of my extra paint colors besides coffee ☕️ & wine 🍷 😁💕! Yes I am right there with you with listening to both good music 🎶 & the occasional game 🏈🏀🏉⚾️. I definitely need to reorganize my work space this year. Thanks for sharing this video with us. 💕
Had to watch this again a year later. I'm needed to hear Everything you said in this video. Thanks a million! " Have fun and enjoy the process while painting" Thanks cutie
Useful tips delivered in a fun way :D I giggled at BIN OF SHAME... will remember that to take failed pictures with more humour. Made my morning, was not in a good mood but now I feel ready for the day. Thank you for that!
I have only recently started my adventure with waterpainting and I trully and utterly enjoy your tutorials. Very detailed, very inspiring . You are a great teacher
Hi Paul , thank you for the wonderful session. Everything looks so effortless while you are doing the painting.Love the way you present, it's so engaging. I see the videos many times before I do it myself. With every painting there is new learning and I am certainly improving.
Thank you Paul, I have two boxes, in the first one I have all my materials and in the second one I have the materials that I'm using. Like I'm taking online classes I have the second one next to my PC and I paint when I'm stressed or bored 'cause I have depression, your videos help me a lot. Thank you and good morning. From Mexico ❤️
hi Karka, this is Sakana kun, i suffer from depression and art is also an outlet to try and give myself a therapeutic break. i dont usually comment on comments, but i thought i would like to say "Hang in there!" and try your best to love yourself a little every day.
Another great video thanks. I recently bought a lamp for 12 quid and thought it might be rubbish but its great. Its got 3 settings, daylight, warm and a mix of the two. Just shows you dont need to spend lots.
Ok now I am super jealous... that view out of the studio windows would be SO distracting for me... horses and treees and lovely cats and English peaceful countryside.. how DO you manage to paint? Wonderful tips and giggles. My tea is now on a completely different table... just one too many dips with phthalo blue..🤣🤣thanks for tips and making me jealous... definitely need to get on a plane soon..
Cup of tea, yes I’ve done the paintbrush into tea, I use a travel mug great for keeping tea warm and very hard to dip into. Loved the candle light scenario. Thanks for the tips and will look around for the light you use.
Hello Mr Clark. Love your paintings and your tutorials. I am always inspired and encouraged by your tutorials. This one was very helpful with some practical tips especially when iheard you talk about good days and bad days. I am a real beginner but i seem to have days were i take a step forward but then i will have days were i seem to take 6 steps back. So it was good to hear that professional painters experience the same sort of thing.
Great light is so important. You simply cannot see true color without it. It doesn't have to be expensive.. my current desk lamps cost less than $20 combined. The important thing is that they are daylight or otherwise full spectrum.. NOT soft white etc. Typical household bulbs give a very yellow light and seriously distort what you see. Also be sure to have at least two light sources coming from different directions if you can, helps balance and avoid shadow issues.
OMG! I had so much fun with this video that I still laughing. Thanks for your time, your great humor and for your clever advices. I ´m a big fan of your videos you are an awesome teacher and love your personal style.
Thank you for this important video. I am a self taught student and need all these important tips for learning how to paint. Love your sense of humour 😊
You are great! Not only expert advice but great humor in the mix; it's always good to chuckle. And I noticed my favorite animal outside your studio: the equines! Do you ride? Lovely
quel bonheur et fraicheur vos vidéos 👍👍👍 je fais parti du groupe facebook à présent et je suis vraiment trés heureuse car les personnes que j'y rencontre sont vraiment trés bienveillante...ca donne trés envie de peindre et de partager. C est tout ce dont j avais besoin. Merci Paul pour qui vous etes , ne changez rien surtout. Trés belle journée à vous.
Bonjour, vous êtes formidable ! Je découvre vos vidéos instructives et amusantes. Très bon travail de mise en scène. Merci beaucoup pour votre pédagogie. Je vais revoir vos tutos progressivement pour mettre en pratique vos enseignements. A bientôt.
Paul, thank you. Definitely need to reorganise my art bench 😂. Love all the 5 minute tips videos, I saved them all to rewatch again. Best half hour or so I have spent on TH-cam!
I can totally relate to the video as many of my paintings didn't turn out well but on the second attempt I already knew where I need to be more careful and it eventually worked out, even better with a better mood like you said.
Thanks for sharing Sandip!! - yup, your mood can play a great part - important thing is not to put too much pressure on yourself to paint a master piece every time!
Love your sense of humor...its delightful......and ty for the way u teach. Im excited about the two sticks I found in the yard and will use them tomorrow. I believe I can do the boat in the water...
I knew I wasn't the only one who has dipped my brush in my tea!
I think we've all done it at some stage - it's when I dip into my wine that I really begin to worry!
Hahaha, I laughed so hard about this ... though it always is a cup of coffee here ;)
Yep! Did that..sometimes twice in one sitting.
Oh I have too……. Even gone on and painted with it…. Oops🤪
🤣😂

I truly believe if you weren't a successful artist you would have been an actor. Thanks for the tips, Paul. 🖌
My pleasure Gina - thanks for the compliment..... it must have all started when I played Captain Von Trapp from the Sound of Music in the school play when I was 16!!!!!
Paul, thank you. You talk a lot of sense, particularly about having faith in your failed, as well as, successful paintings!
I appreciate that Andrew - thanks!
I have dipped my brush in my coffee and almost drank the paint water many times. Thanks Paul. It's now sorted.
Hahahaha😂 funny part..

Thanks Rich, sounds similar to my light - few year back that would have been a lot more!
Wonderful advise thank you Paul👌🍀
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks much for encouraging me(us). Your word has been proven by your great successes.
You are so welcome
Paul, you’re so funny! Enjoyed the video.
I too have dipped my brush in my coffee.
Thanks Vanessa - it's when you dip it in your wine you start to worry!
Hahaha 😂 🤣I love your sense of humour. Thanks for the great tips.
You are so welcome Andee! - always try to make things light hearted if I can! 🤣
The humour part of your videos make them so enjoyable. Thank you for your wise words and also for that excellent acting part you did. Loved it.😂
Glad you like them!
Hi, Paul! Thank you for the great tips, and, of course, the hearty laughs🤣😂❣
Glad you enjoyed it
At 80 I really enjoy your painting lessons. Watch almost every day here in PA USA and think I have learned from your lessons.
Wow, thank you - delighted to help!
Ok now I am super jealous... that view out of the studio windows would be SO distracting for me... horses and treees and lovely cats and English peaceful countryside.. how DO you manage to paint? Wonderful tips and giggles. My tea is now on a completely different table... just one too many dips with phthalo blue..🤣🤣thanks for tips and making me jealous... definitely need to get on a plane soon..
Lol!!! great comment, thanks!
I really struggle with loose painting. I’m going to give this a try. Love the thistle!
You can do it!
Very great ideas. I like the funny candle scene. I have never quit have a ton of throw away paintings and some I absolutely love. Thank you very much.
You are so welcome!
The famous coffee cup rinse!
Yup, we've all done it!
Cup of tea, yes I’ve done the paintbrush into tea, I use a travel mug great for keeping tea warm and very hard to dip into. Loved the candle light scenario. Thanks for the tips and will look around for the light you use.
My pleasure Paula - yup, we've all done the tea thing!
All this sounds so familiar! Especially dipping an oily brush in the Kenco coffee :)
Lol!!! yup ... done that!
I'm so happy I found you on TH-cam.
I enjoy listening to you and I learn so much watching.
You make it fun and interesting.
Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Hello Mr Clark. Love your paintings and your tutorials. I am always inspired and encouraged by your tutorials. This one was very helpful with some practical tips especially when iheard you talk about good days and bad days. I am a real beginner but i seem to have days were i take a step forward but then i will have days were i seem to take 6 steps back. So it was good to hear that professional painters experience the same sort of thing.
Wonderful! - good to hear!
After Sunday's game, you should really be in the mood to paint!
Thanks Michele - you're right there! - Sunday's game was one of many shocks!!!
Great light is so important. You simply cannot see true color without it. It doesn't have to be expensive.. my current desk lamps cost less than $20 combined. The important thing is that they are daylight or otherwise full spectrum.. NOT soft white etc. Typical household bulbs give a very yellow light and seriously distort what you see. Also be sure to have at least two light sources coming from different directions if you can, helps balance and avoid shadow issues.
Totally agree! great info - thanks very much!
OMG! I had so much fun with this video that I still laughing. Thanks for your time, your great humor and for your clever advices. I ´m a big fan of your videos you are an awesome teacher and love your personal style.
Glad you enjoyed it Annabelle!
Great sense of humor, love it.
Glad you think so!
Thank you for this important video. I am a self taught student and need all these important tips for learning how to paint. Love your sense of humour 😊
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks Laina - I always used to love being in the school plays!!! 😀
You are great! Not only expert advice but great humor in the mix; it's always good to chuckle. And I noticed my favorite animal outside your studio: the equines! Do you ride? Lovely
Great to hear - thanks! .. No I don't ride but my partner does!
Hahaha, you are a great artist, actor and painter both. It is so fun to watch your video, learning and laughing!

Good actor and painter... Of course! 😄. Thank you for Your comments
Thank you so much 😀
I can totally relate to the video as many of my paintings didn't turn out well but on the second attempt I already knew where I need to be more careful and it eventually worked out, even better with a better mood like you said.
Thanks for sharing Sandip!! - yup, your mood can play a great part - important thing is not to put too much pressure on yourself to paint a master piece every time!
Love your sense of humor...its delightful......and ty for the way u teach. Im excited about the two sticks I found in the yard and will use them tomorrow. I believe I can do the boat in the water...
You are so welcome! - go for it Edie!
love your British humor. Patty from CA
