I have learned more from Paul Clark in a few videos, than days of watching others. Thanks Paul
Great to hear! cheers!
I used to live right by this beautiful covered bridge. My dream is to go back to Maine and paint all of the covered bridges there. Thank you for this video!!
Sounds a great project…. Go for it!
I. LOVE. WATERCOLOR. WEDNESDAYS! Thanks, Paul. Gonna have to put on my Big Boy pants for this one. Excited to do this. And, by the way, I think you look really good for 35...
Good morning Joseph and Nashville🙋🏼♀️👍
Have fun J! - 35 lol! ... nearly double it!!!
Beautiful painting - love it - and made with several exciting effects I look forward to experiment with. Btw: the background music is very nice. Is it you and your wife who play some of these songs? In that case what are the names of the songs - and where can they be found?
Other questions:
1. You rated Qor 8 out or 10. Which brand(s) would you give 10?
2. Why is a rigger better to paint fine details than a very small brush?
3. How do you store your paintings that you don't frame and put up on the wall?
4. Do you protect your paintings with varnish / fixative?
5. Which are your favorite paper and brushes?
Thanks Paul . I have come a long way because of your tutorials
Great to hear!
I live in Vermont which is not far from Maine. We also have several covered bridges. It's a joy to drive through them and discuss the history of these beautiful structures.
Thank you for another fantastic tutorial.
happy to help Cindy!

Thank you so much Lisa!!
Yes, I really did enjoy this video Paul, and it was nice to hear that you had been in MA as a child. (We live in CT, the state below it.) There was a lot for me to learn, several techniques here in this painting! Thank you so much! I look forward to eventually watching every single one of them.
This was a wonderful demonstration of an excellent watercolor painting! Cheers!
Thank you so much 😀
For me, most lovely and worthful to wait day in a week is wednesday for the time that i subscribed to your channel. Beside the artist personality of you, you care about to answer almost every comment. So, even if dont know you in personel, i believe that you are really a good and kind person. I respect you more in time. Thanks for sharing Paul. Cheers!
Wow, thank you! ... that's so nice of you to say!

Man, I really enjoyed this painting! It would also be lovely to see this done in fall colors. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Thanks Paul.
Being from New England myself I enjoyed growing up seeing/crossing several old covered bridges. Some are fully functional, while others are merely preserved as historical landmarks. So, as subject matter, this was a treat for me and another wonderful demo of how to go about things. Enjoyed it very much!
Thanks for sharing Michael 😁
Another fantastic painting! Thank so much for this demonstration. Great work!
Thank you very much too!
I live in MA and we do have some beautiful covered bridges!
Amazing brush and sketching precision for the focal point - the bridge.... I think, Sir you control your precision to any level - hyper realistic to very loose as the context requires.... Hats off.
Many thanks Nikhil!
Phenomenal. Really beautiful work. Thanks
Gorgeous. Looks like a photograph but better.
Wow, thank you!
What a fantastic, beautiful painting it is.............amazing, amazing

Thank you for this amazing lesson, everything is in there, water, rocks, reflection, leaves, branches, such lovely contrasts in the wood construction, thank you again
You're very welcome Laure!
Wow that is a lot of great detail. When you brought that dark interior to the bridge I was taken aback but as you knew it dried just right. I like how you keep adding detail and layers and colors. Its a treat to watch and thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Simply amazing! 😊 So beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Very beautiful and out-of-this-world painting. The trees are gorgeously painted with those brilliant colors. The bridge and the rocks look incredibly real. I love your humor too. Thank you once again for this session of art and I have try the splatting method which I never tried.
Thank you! Cheers!
This is one of my favorite tutorials. I have to try this one. Thank you so much!
Absolutely beautiful!! I had painted a covered bridge last year, and now I’m excited to have a 2nd go at it trying a few more of your techniques. Thank you for sharing your talent and techniques with us!
My pleasure Tracey!
Outstanding covered bridge painting. Love everything about it.
Cheers Annie!
You’re reading my mind again. Just started a sketch and painting of our covered bridge at a local park. Lovely painting as usual.
Sounds great! - thanks!
Yet again another beautiful painting. Just love watching your videos, so inspiring, giving clear instructions and helpful tips and advice. I sit and watch your videos for hours each night. Ty.
Thanks so much Sarah 😊
Another gorgeous one from my home state. 😍 Thank you!
Glad you like it Amanda from Maine!!!
Amazing tutorial again! I have been enjoying watching you paint for a few months and learned so much from you as a beginner !!!! Thank you
Thanks so much Eugene 😊
Beautiful. I love the bridge, very picturesque - I can see why it's a popular one to paint. Thank you Paul.
You are very welcome
¡Just three colors! Incredible.
Cheers!
Wow. What talent !
What a great tutorial. I love painting with you. I have learned so much. They almost always turn out.
Thanks so much Cindy 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful painting of a covered bridge. I've been painting for 3 yrs now and taught by you and other you tube videos. I thank you for that. Also QOR paints are the first set I bought. Love them.
Wonderful to hear Malia!!
Another fantastic tutorial which really challenged me - very happy with the results! Thank you Paul. Looking forward to the next one!
Glad you enjoyed it
In awe again of your work. Tutorials are always clear and easy to follow.
Thank you! Cheers!
Delightful and unusual subject. Love all the loose foliage & rocks. Detail on the bridge is amazing and looks very hard to do ! Thanx again Paul for another great tutorial.
Glad you enjoyed it! - thanks as ever Cherry!
I love your watercolors. Thanks Paul.
Thank you so much 😀
Absolutely beautiful
Cheers Kathie!
Excellent instructions!
Once again a fantastic tutorial, beautiful painting, thanks for all you do, stay safe Paul. 😘👏😘👏

You make it look so easy! I'll have a go at some of my more detailed pictures. Your tutorial gave me confidence to try.
Glad to hear that Leticia!
Such a beautiful painting!!!!
Thank you so much 😀
You make it look easy, the sign of a true Master! Many thanks it was very enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great stuff. Thank you Paul.
Glad you enjoyed it
This tutorial is a beauty! Also, I'd never heard of QOR paint so it's useful to know for those of us enjoying your channel from "across the pond". I like being challenged to mix colours and the effects are so stunning. Many thanks!
Thank you so much Patricia!!
That, sir, was bloody champion! 👍🏻
Thank you Kindly .... bloody great to hear!
it was great i love your method paul .thank you🌹
You're so welcome!
Such a beautiful painting! Can’t wait to try it.
Have fun Amity!!
Just love that painting, we have covered bridges here in upstate New York and I love them. Thanks
Glad you like them Vicki!!
Thank you Paul. Will have to drive to this area as not far from me. You always make painting look so easy but will take a go at it. I know practice, practice. Take care
Have fun Tracey!
Amazing is the word for your work thanks for sharing
Cheers Pritee!
Wow! This one is complicated but am going to give it a go. We have a covered bridge just 8 miles from our house in Northern California. It’s the Bridgeport Covered Bridge in the South Yuba River State Park. A multi-year renovation is almost complete. It’s quite unusual as the sides are covered with peek holes down to the river. It’s the longest single-span covered bridge in the world and was built in 1862.
Sounds great Nancy - thanks for sharing!
Great painting! Watching you makes me feel like I may be able to give it a try. I'm so glad you fixed that sky. The blue stopped right at that tree and it was bothering me. 😅
Thank you! Cheers!
Really enjoy your style and choices of landscape views, I'm finding just watching your examples of watercolour painting very relaxing as well as a great learning tool, painting is a new enjoyable experience for me, mostly trying to recreate my own experiences and sites I usually come across when I'm out enjoying our beautiful country.
Always look forward to your next tuition video......... thanks
Thank you so much 😀 Ian!
Awsome painting Paul, would say that one of my faves so far. Thank you!
Great to hear Imma!

@@ArtbyPaulClark 🙏
Wow! Fantastic!
Thank you! Cheers!
Really love this one, Paul! Thanks again!!
Glad you like it Billy!
Great subject and masterfully executed painting! Thank you, Paul…
Glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely beautiful painting. Hope I can do it justice! Thank you. A suggestion for another painting is something I’m wanting to try to paint - bottle of 🍷 wine and a wine glass still life! 🎨. Cheers!
Great suggestion! ... I'll look into it!
@@ArtbyPaulClark thanks. Might be challenging not to drink it but worth a try 🤣
This is one of my faves. And Qor is my absolute favorite paint. I love the way it moves and blends. Also like that there is no gall in it, ick. (OK, I may be slightly biased as it is made here in upstate NY.)
Lol! - yes, I was very impressed with the way they spread!
I’m in love!👏🏼👏🏼💜💜
Cheers Denise!
Another fabulous tutorial! Thank you so much!
You too!
Hi loved the video
I would love to see more how to videos or watercolor hacks as i am a beginner
Noted Jannah!
Good Morning from Nashville! Now to watch!!!
Morning to you J!
Beautiful as always, Paul!
Wow what a painting 🎨 your hand is sit on God very good sir & no any word
Thank you so much 😀
Wow! Just amazing! I live in Nebraska, a few hours away from the "Bridges of Madison County" in Iowa, and really enjoy visiting that area. Now I want to get out photos I've taken and try painting them. What a great inspiration you are. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! ... and I must watch that movie .... not seen it yet!
This is gorgeous! You make everything look so easy and effortless. You are so very talented! I know you have talked about perspective but sometimes it is difficult to determine the right size or proportion of an object on paper. Could you touch a little on this in one of your future tutorials? Thank you so much for taking the time to share your talent, techniques and beautiful paintings. It is truly appreciated!
Thank you so much! ... and will do!
Very Beautiful painting sir!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for giving us the inspiration to paint a wide variety of subjects. As a suggestion, I’d like a tutorial on windmills, either in working order, or perhaps derelict and run down. Thanks again.
Cheers David and suggestion noted.
In the Maine, it was fabulous... lol.
Love the way you created the texture and depth on the bridge.
I was just looking at pics i had taken like this in Canada in a Historical village. I will need to make time and do a watercolour from one as the buildings would respond well to this technique too. Thanks Paul
Pleasure as always!!!
Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent ~~~Sir Paul
I really like the painting. I think if I follow you very meticulously, I can do this one. I was wondering, however, if you might include in a lesson how you decide what to paint first and how you make decisions about where shadows go or why you use a variety of greens. Sometimes it looks random, but then when you are finished, it all comes together. I can't seem to apply it to my own paintings, though and need more about your decision making process. Thanks!
Cheers Beth ... I'll see what I can do.
Cheers, as usual ❤️ your work, and a great start to my Wednesday 💯‼️
Yay, thank you Diane!
Thank you very much for your very useful lessons in watercolor art. Odessa.
My pleasure 😊
