When I first looked at the finished painting I felt overwhelmed thinking where/how would you start? Then you use your Paul Clark magic and you break it down step by step and it's not so scary. You're a very good teacher, Paul. You never cease to amaze me. 😁🎨
Thanks as always Gina - always look forward to your comments!
Hi Paul- I had walked some of the way on the Camino de Santiago in Spain, and did a sketch of a village in the distance from one of my photos. But I had no idea how to really paint it, until I saw this Italian Village tutorial. Well, I followed along, applying your step-by-step teaching to my Spanish town, and I'm really happy to have such a pleasing result from this video and from a great teacher like you! This and your other videos are really making such a positive impact on my life. Thank you!
Sounds great Mike - delighted to help!!
I’ve always wanted to do the Camino. So great you went. Even part of it is a great idea. I’m old now. Still, what a great adventure with your paints and a pencil. Thanks for the inspiration.
You’re a talented artist, a wonderful teacher and a pretty nice guy. A rare combination.
Wow, thank you! - very kind, Rita
You are the best teacher. Though formal learning is the best, but you have Incorporated teaching learning methods into simplest form via youtube. One who is beginner or newcomer can learn watercolour painting by simply watching your youtube videos. Thank you.
So nice of you Vijay!
Thank you Paul. Your free style painting and touch of humor are a boost to my heart!
Happy to hear that Sandy!
You are a master watercolour artist, there is no doubt about that. And what a sense of humour, easygoing style and unpretentious method! I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Thank you so much 😀
Hello Mr. Clark! Beautiful painting. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you, Paul for showing step by step how to paint this gorgeous Italian village. I look forward to your tutorials
Fascinating. Colours so vibrant and such a lovely painting and that in 1 hours time. Wow.
Thank you so much 😀
You are the best!
you are a great teacher.
Your joy, your tone of voice and the way you speak is beautiful 😍
It's great to work with your videos
Thank you!!
Wow, thank you too for watching!!
Loved the challenge to paint faster. I loved it. My sister came by and saw my my painting and wanted it. Guess I did ok. The experience was awesome. Thank you Paul!!!
Thank you so much 😀
As Tina would say, " you're simply the best!" now to give it a go. Gracie for all your teaching.
Have fun!
You said that you read every comment every time! So I say that you are so perfect in your art work and you are the best Art teacher
That’s very generous of you to say Mike - many thanks
Love, Love, Love this painting Paul, It reminds me of one of my all time favorite movies. Under the Tuscan Sun.... Oh to escape this harsh reality and slip into the dream for just a few minutes... Thank You for adding beauty to our lives! See you next week, God willing!!
Glad you enjoyed it - I know the film!!! - very tempting to watch again!
Yes! Shirley.....the bestest movie
My 12 yr old grandson and I have just begun to paint together. Since the kids aren't attending class at school, but are doing distance learning at home, we have several afternoons each week that we paint. He's as serious about learning as I am and I do believe he is a better artist. We just recently learned of your videos and think they're wonderful. Love the fresh way you present the material and your style suits both of us. You are a talented artist. We would like to say thank you for sharing and teaching us, all the way from Pendleton, Oregon, Donovan and RoxAnne
Hi Donovan and RoxAnne from Oregon! Delighted to be part of your watercolour journey and many thanks for the nice compliment. - keep in touch, more to come!!!
Takes me back to Italy! Great food, great wine and great people. Thanks Paul.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Paul for sharing your skills to inspire others to produce amazing pictures as you've achieved, thoroughly enjoyable videos and appreciate your calming approach. Thanks greatly stay safe
Glad you enjoyed it Philip - stay safe too!
Such a great tutorial! Thank you for sharing! 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Paul, many artists could've painted this... but, YOU deserve KUDO's for COLORS!!! My opinion, it's the colors on this painting, that "makes it"! and the sky was the right color, too! Really nice job! You have a great eye, thank you for sharing...
I'm bringing up my wine glass to you! LF
Wow, thank you LF - wine is important!!
Thank you from 🇮🇹 for your lovely little italian "tuscany"village.... cypresses are typically in tuscany... I love your video and I always waiting for you... I'm learning a lot with your work and painting give me a little bit of serenity, during this dark times... I've take away dust from my watercolour and start again to paint... again thanks to be so good and amazing teacher
Oh thank you Laura!! 🇮🇹
Nice challenge and demo again, Paul! Thanks, I’ve been watching this with our 7 month old son on my lap. Can’t start early enough :)
too true - Fantastic, get em young!!
Love this painting Paul, I'm off now to give it a go, thanks trev
Wonderful - go for it Trevor!
Well I have finished this painting it is charming coffee instead of wine. Back to New Zealand scenery
You are exactly right about needing the joy and beauty of painting during these troubled times. You've done a great service for many people. Lovely channel. Fun to watch the painting proceed. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching!!
Another beauty Paul. You are so generous with your time and extraordinary skill. Many, many thanks.
You are very welcome
Good morning California! I love Wednesday, why? because its the day Paul posts a new video, and this one looks like it is going to be a goody.
Morning Misty! - a great day to start a painting!!
Hello fellow Californian. It is a good Wednesday. ☺☺☺
@@coloringwithd Hi D, good to meet you :)
@@ArtbyPaulClark of course, it did take me a bit longer :) but it was great and I loved the process. I have learnt to watch through your videos a couple of times, and to prepare all the mixes before starting. thank you so much Paul, I am loving learning from you
I've been wanting to paint something let this! Thank you💛 I have that set of Daniel Smith & I'm eager to follow this video in using them.
You are so welcome! - go for it Joyce!
You make it all look effortless! I've learned more from your videos than any other artist on TH-cam. I used to paint in watercolor and acrylics a lot when I was a teenager, but haven't bothered much since then and now I'm 62. I just might give your techniques a try now. It looks super fun.
Thank you so much 😀
I am totally hooked to your tutorial videos. Watching them feels like a fresh breath of air.... So refreshing. It has been a ritual for me to watch at least one of your video every day. Thanks Paul🙏😊 You are an incredible teacher.
Glad you like them!
This has been one of the most brilliant demos I have watched.
Brings amazing clarity around the entire process. It helps in creating confidence in beginners who are always fearful of making mistakes.
Very useful. Thanks Paul!
Glad it was helpful Anthony!!
"Where's me wine!!" lmao....that's a meme! Thanks for the great vid and the laugh, Paul! Take care.
Lol!!! - Glad you enjoyed it! ....and you too!
You are a very gifted teacher/artist. Bravo!
Thank you Donna! 😊
Just painted this picture following your tutorial, it was reasonable good, just need to keep practicing my greenery . I love your tutorials with the extra background noises ,& funny chat etc. You've kept me going through lockdown, I only found you by chance. Please keep going, you are so talented, & great to share you art skills with us. Thank you.
Thank you so much and will do Jill 😀
I told you I was only going to use three colors, well, I lied. 🤣
Cheers Kerri!
As always I loved it watching beautiful painting thanks for your tips 🙏
Thank you so much 😀
Watching you paint gives me much joy and contentment. After watching so many of your videos I can now picture scenes around me as a watercolor! Thank you for giving so freely of your time and talent. Cheers from Oregon, U.S.!
Thank you so much Carol - chuffed!!! 😀
Your guidance about the quick, sure strokes for the suggestion of windows, regardless of symmetry, is very helpful. Less really is more, and your non-fuss "letting it be" with every painting makes it so much better finished! If I learn one major aspect from you, it'll be this. Thank you ever so much!
Wow Paul - I am not sure how I just discovered your channel, but none the less, I just watched this and so impressed with your teaching style, humor, and overall good guy attitude. Thank you for taking the time to create this for us. So appreciated. You keep things simple, and a painting that looks really complicated. Cannot wait to try it. And to have a go at your other videos. Just made my day. And yes, another Southern California viewer here!
Welcome aboard John from Southern California! - thanks for lovely comment - keep in touch!
Paul, Thank you for this lovely video. It is very generous of you to share your techniques with us.
My pleasure Meera!
Thank God I found your channel, you are indeed a great teacher and I like your style and vision.
Thanks and welcome Anca!
@@ArtbyPaulClark I will continue to loot at your videos and I will try to paint also. And I will buy your book
Beautiful! I’m bringing my paints on my next trip and practice this style!
Thank you!
I just turned 79 and never painted with watercolor ( actually never paint as an artist) but I'm going to give it a go thanks to you.need something to keep my mind going.
Wonderful.Every day I'm learning a little thank you for this opportunity.
So nice of you
Hello Paul,have you ever inspired me to get back to watercolour painting...you are just the right mix of Artist/Teacher/ and fun,witty master water colourist!!( In my humble opinion)I’m originally from Sussex funnily enough,and went to Brighton Uni/Poly,way back when. I live in Ontario,Canada now for the past 40 years...Thank you from my heart for the fabulous inspiration!! 🇨🇦
Wow, thank you Jean, anything for a fellow Sussex girl!!!
Thank you so much Paul! You’re a real nice guy/ Sussex guy!!
My mom lee
The way you explain step by step with what colors to mix, a complex looking painting becomes very simple. Hats off to you!
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you! Just trying this out to help with a cup of coffee for you and Margot. I’ve enjoyed watching many of your lessons, purchased the brushes, and will soon start with trying to do the lessons soon.
Many thanks - cheers!
I love this scene. Thanks Paul.
Cheers!
Paul you are terrific. You are the King of Splat! I appreciate your excellent tutorials and your gift for painting and teaching. I'm watching in Cuenca, Ecuador. We have lovely, old buildings like in your Italian themed painting. Now it's time to try out your tips.
You are very welcome
C'est toujours un vrai bonheur pour les yeux de vous regarder peindre. Tout semble si facile 🤣... Jusqu'à ce que j'essaye à mon tour🙄🥴😂.
Vous êtes une thérapie pour la sérénité Paul, un vrai bonheur😌
Merci aussi!!!! 🤣
What an absolutely detailed and interesting comments with your fine art. Delight to watch your arts. I will paint this tomorrow
Wonderful! thanks
Thank you again sir. You're time given is very much appreciated..
So nice of you
Great job Paul - a joy to watch.
Cheers, glad you think so!
This was my first Paul Clark watercolor painting and I loved having an hour time cut-off. I'm very new to watercolor and I learned a few things here for sure. One of which is that all watercolor papers are not created equal! I just opened a new pad of paper and it's really terrible-you get what you pay for! I should have known. I will be going to the store and paying the extra $ for something quality like I should have in the beginning. I look forward to my next tutorial! Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
SO enjoy these videos.
Have been so reassured to not get too disappointed with what I come up with.
In fact I think I am on my way.
It's great to feel good about my work for a change! (From Australia)
Ok. I have been looking for what I could paint for my brother for his birthday. Well, I think this Italian Village is it!!! We are Italian, although I don't look it at all, and I think it is a more masculine painting and would be appropriate for him. Thank you again for sharing your talent.
I enjoy your your teaching so much, and you make me laugh!!! Need that these days with all that is going on. Cheers! Diane
Wow - thats great to hear Diane - I'm sure he's going to love it!
☀️This was so beautiful ! You channel is sooo great! Fun! Simple and Informative !
Thank you so much Dianne!
Thanks Paul. Lovely painting. I always look forward to you tutorials. Cant wait for next week.
You are very welcome
I personally like a lot of detail in paintings -- this comes from having a mother and sister who were mad about modern art and I prefer to see what something really is. Abstract art means nothing to me at all. One of the reasons you are such a great instructor is because when you are finished, you have something truly worthy of hanging on a wall. Wish I had your talent!!!
Thanks for sharing! ... very kind, cheers!
Beautiful painting! Great talent and an amazing sense of humor!! Thanks.
Thank you so much Frances!!
This is a great set. It’s what I started with. The best paint available too!
I love it!
Wonderful.... I truly enjoyed your mini lesson. Thank you. Beautiful painting.
Thank you so much!
Attempted to reproduce this image following your video on a step by step basis. Just knowing what order to do things was very helpful. I was very happy with the end result, thank you.
Glad it helped!
I really like this painting, thank you Paul for showing us, love the loose styles.
You are very welcome
i LOVED this video!! I just finished a loose 2 day workshop in the States which was on painting loose.....wow! such a difference in teaching styles. Easy to follow and use of few tubes help us. Can't wait to view more. Here"s to keeping it LOOSE!! Gina, Naples, FL
You are so welcome Gina!!!!
I love your style of painting, now if I can only get as good as you are!!!! I will have to try this once I get the pencil sketch down pat! I got my 94 yr old Aunt to paint and we enjoy it together even though she is not to close. We share our pictures through texting but will be going to visit with my paints! Can’t wait!
Thank you so much 😀
Bravo, you are a pleasure to watch in your watercolor journey!
Thank you so much!
Habe schon viel gelernt macht richtig Spaß zuzusehen
Sehr erfreut war es hilfreich Gabi
Paul, you are a treasure and a pleasure. Today, I had a 'do over' with this piece. Not in love with either one I've tried but I figure the third time is a charm. Cheers to learning!!! Thanks for your expertise ❤
So effortlessly done. So well presented. Top marks. Thanks ✔️⭐️
Glad you liked it!

Glad to hear that!
Wonderful!!! I do enjoy this. Working in my craft!
How I wish you’d have these wonderful demos in oil. Bravo
Maybe one day! ... would have to learn first!
Are you really for real? I stumbled upon one of your tutorials (Perspective) and I think I had a spiritual experience! I wish COVID was over and I could participate in a live class on your side of the Atlantic but...you're doing an amazing job with these videos. You are a true teacher. Priceless gift.
Thank you from New York!
Hey - that's great to hear - many thanks Gay!

Hi Paul from Ireland, I love your work, thanks for sharing I teach art here but not since last March so it's lovely to watch another artist at work, Love this one ,amazing, 😊😊😊
You are very welcome Deborah!
Thank you dear Paul, once again for this wonderful teaching. Due to sickness I am currently experiencing a difficult family situation and I am trying to do at least one beautiful thing per day to keep my head up during those hard times. When my friend asked me what was my beautiful thing today, I told them that I just started another amazing tutorial with you and I am beyond grateful that through painting along with you I find some space and time just for me, to regain power again. THANK YOU for all you do for your community around the world. Much love from Berlin 🙏🌺
Hi there- delighted to help in some small way - keep positive and happy painting!
I'm so glad I found this picture! I feel like I am in Italy!
Glad you like it!
Paul, I have googled both the artists you mention in this lesson and I am blown away. I can see how these two could have a profound effect on anyone interested in shape and contrast. Thank you for this lesson which I enjoyed and thank you too for drawing these artists to my attention. John
My pleasure! - yup they are not bad!!!
Thanks Paul these videos are great fun to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Paul, landed in your channel somehow today the first time and its so wonderful to watch you paint.

You just answered a bunch of questions I had on doing structural paintings. Thank you so much. I’ll be watching
Delighted to help Denny!
Hi Paul...you told us to look at Castagnet and Zbukvic's work...really wonderful...a Divine gift...the essence of watercolor...shapes...light...shadows...reflections. ... without details... a set that takes us to pure admiration. I thank you for this tip... let's do it like this: I admire you....and you admire both of them....
I’ve been looking for ideas how to paint some of my local mountain villages. I love your loose style Paul with such lovely colours and tones! I’m going to adapt it and give it a go, against the clock, on a village near me soon and see what happens! Thank you. Paul
Very relaxing paint today, was lovely to watch. Aww Daniel Smith new paints very interesting have seen these in the big art store, Your sky looks amazing again. So gonna give this a try. Must renter to add the blue at the end it brings everything together. Thanks for a great tutorial again.
