The same subject in different ways is such great practice. This helps me “see” how to achieve what’s in my minds eye. We all so appreciate everything you and Margo do for us. ❤️ from Michigan
You're welcome 😊 Thanks Kimberly🌹
“You don’t have to copy me.” Lol, one thing I’m absolutely learning on this beautiful watercolor journey is it’s impossible to copy another artist especially with this loose style. Just try and copy Paul fellow artists, just try (cracking myself up). Excellent video and need to give that cling wrap a go again since it’s been awhile. Thank you for sharing Paul and Margot. And even though you’re in the UK, I’m saying Happy Thanksgiving to you guys and to your sister that lives across the pond here in our wonderful Florida Paul.
Lol!!! thanks Rita .... and a happy Thanksgiving to you !!!
Thank you sir!I'm also learning more from you sir!... Thanking you sir!-Bodhisattwa Gupta (KajalGupta 70+)
OMG.....speechless !!! the second mountain demo is stunning.
Thank you - that's very kind Lindy!
WOW! WOW! WOW! That’s like Three Cheers but WAY heartier. Paul, you could not have done a more wonderful tutorial on mountains. I had watched your previous series, which was also awesome, of course, but this was just SO great!
Thank you for everything you and our lovely Margot do for us, it is very much appreciated 👏❤️🍁🍂🇨🇦
Hi there Didi! - always love reading your comments - thanks as always and keep in touch!
Love the way you teach explaining in details what your doing. I love all your colorful funny shirts you coordinate with your videos! Hilarious 😂!! I learn so much with each tutorial!! Thank you!❤️💫
Thanks so much!
Totally agree. Paul never fails to inject happy hormones is his lessons. Really fun to be here.❤️💕🙂😊
If just watching you paint gives so much enjoyment it will surely be enjoyable painting it too. Thankyou Paul for these beautiful mountain techniques.
Oh yes I agree! Thank you Paul
I especially liked the last tutorial of the mountain series. I still need to try out the cling wrap technique. Thank you Paul as always for bringing these tutorials to us! Have a splendid day!
Very welcome Ruby!
Dear Paul,
Thanks for still finding the time to post a weekly tutorial on You Tube. I always look forward to it and enjoy your 'performance' with paint and brush.
Sincerely,
Gerlof van Driel

Many thanks Gerlof from The Hague!!
Thanks Paul. I am sitting in Torres del Paine, Patagonia with the most gorgeous snow capped mountains outside my window wondering how to paint them and you just showed me how to do it. You make it look so easy. Much appreciated.
Wow!!! - that sounds wonderful - have fun!
I forgot today was Wednesday so it was such a lovely surprise to wake up to this video! Your "How to Paint" series are always so helpful. I'm using your "How to Paint Trees" one right now!
Thank you for such an amazing mountain tutorial, your style of teaching is so easy to follow and inspirational, great way to start the day.
You're very welcome!
Fantastic tutorial. Certainly one of the most influential online teachers i've encountered while meandering you-tube. Respect
Wow, thanks!
Paul, you do know that you are a great teacher, right? I can't do these now, but I saw the three paintings. Just gorgeous. I will do them soon! And, THANK YOU!!
Thank you to you too J - always appreciated!
Good morning dear Paul! I really liked your video, as always I am delighted!Thank you for your efforts.Paul, don't forget that Wednesday, December 8, will be the International Day of the artist and I hope that you will prepare something interesting and unusual for us!I wish you good luck and, most importantly, health first of all, do not forget about us, your subscribers! P.S.!"Good morning to all the roosters and all the people of the Canary Islands!Hooray!😜😊🤩🐓🐓🐓". This is how I greet every morning the inhabitants of the Canary Island of La Palma, where the volcano erupts and the early roosters Nigel, Rusty and Gavin are crowing and the most important thing is next to the island of La Gomera.Mark it Paul!I wish you good luck.....
Thanks for that ... and I didn't know about December 8th!!! - I'll do something special!!!! - cheers Adela!
I know what my problem is. I work at half the scale you do, Paul, and I am too heavy handed.
Such a great display of what granulating watercolour paints can do! Beautiful, all three mountain ranges! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks so much 😊
Great video!!! I've painted several of your snow scenes with delight and look forward to painting these.
Question: why use Paynes grey rather than a mix of ultramarine blue and burnt umber. Doesn't the back in the Paynes grey deaden the the look?
I do use both options but use PG for convenience sometimes and don’t find it is a dead colour like lamp black
Love it. Technical question though - is a themed tee shirt required to get the same results as you do?
Thank you, Paul, for all your tutorial videos! Each is made high quality, starting with T-shirts (with lesson topic print) and continuing with music, your detailed explanations, warm voice. I guess you inspire many beginners like me to learn, create and enjoy the process! Lilia from Moldova
Glad you like them Lilia from Moldova!
Thank you so much for this special treat for us ... Whew! You paint quickly! Love these... need to try something besides flowers... I'm just a bit hesitant about landscapes, though you make it look easy!!! A bright spot for Wednesday! A grateful California gramma 😄🌴🌺
You are so welcome as ever gramma Ann!!
Your techniques are always look easy with good effect.
So glad to learn from you， cheers🍺👍！
So happy to help! 🍺👍！
Oooo im doing this TODAY! (The first one anyway. The others may have to wait.)
Great to hear - go for it!

My dad did tramp art. You should see the picture frame he made. He also made beautiful gun stocks out of the walnut tree that was cut down. This drive to do art is strong in me. I am doing my best to fulfill my own passion. Thank you for helping pave the way.
I learn so much from your videos. Thank you for all the great tips, ideas, and procedures!
I always try to paint along with you, and learning as I go. Thanks again for the great tutorials!
Gretchen
You are so welcome Gretchen!
Wow...mind blowing...
Thank you Sir, for the wonderful tutorial...I learned many new techniques...
💙💛🎉🍾🥂 WOW 🥂🍾🎉💛💙
That was a brilliant post showing some very simple techniques but getting three extraordinary results. Please can you do some more with maybe, some more detailed techniques.
THANK YOU IN ANTICIPATION 😁
I CLICKED SO FAST 😅 Just in time since I'm going through an art block phase. Thanks a ton, Sir Paul!
You're very welcome!
Good morning Paul, I live near the Sierra Nevada mountains in California and this tutorial was really fun to watch. Lots of textures and great methods to achieve capturing them.
Perfect timimg, I have a swedish mountainn scene I wanted to paint for my Daughter in law for xmas - these techniques are just what I need :) Thanks Paul
Hi Paul, thanks for the gorgeous mountains; i really thought the 2nd one was a photo. It is awesome. Can't wait to try it xx
Have fun!
Amazing.
Wonderful 💯
Appreciate your efforts.
So nice of you
Thank you so much for this wonderful gift!!! It gives me hope of being able to paint a mountain. I really, really enjoyed this. I just love the way you teach, Teacher Paul.❤️♥️♥️❤️💕🙂😊🙏🙏🙏
Many thanks Janet!
Perfect timing! I have been trying to figure out how to paint a gorge with Fall colors. Cling film is a great idea! Thanks!
Go for it Kathleen!
Marion. Mid Wells. I Love the way you paint I'm new to watercolor painting
I am 4th generation and my children are 5th generation on our plot of land. The trees standing around us are 110 years old. The history is deep. With that passion of beauty I try to produce art. Thank you for helping me on my journey.
Thanks for sharing this!
Paul, Beautiful mountains! Have you ever tried to sprinkle salt under the cling film? Your paintings always give me great joy. I always love the humor that you and Margot give to your videos. Thank you.
Hi Paul, I have a Winsor and Newton Paynes Grey but it is much bluer than yours and I don't know how to make it more grey than blue. Would you have a suggestion? Many thanks.
Thank you Paul... It's wonderful and really helpful.
Glad you think so!
Beautiful work handsome man. I'm learning a lot from you as your student here. Thank you!...;-)
wonderful techniques, thank you very much
best regards
Sandra
Paul, I love the way your mountains came out. Simply beautiful. Thank you for sharing 😍
My pleasure 😊
buenas...Paul...está certo..."não procure me copiar".... o importante é acompanhar a técnica... remover receios e ser audacioso....heheh....salud.... pedro from brasil
Thanks so much for this. I’m travelling to Yellowstone in a couple of months and hope to try some painting whilst I’m there.
I struggle with the card technique. I've even cut different edge, but I seem to get a line, not a swatch. I also seem to just scored the paper and the pigments run into the groove, which can be useful, but not what I usually want. Love the videos!
Is there a way to know ahead of time
(by knowing paper qualities) whether it's good for using masking or not? I used a high quality paper and the resist removed part of the paper 😢
Paul you are brilliant, thaNKS LEARNED A LOT OOPS 85 PETER
I so enjoy your videos. I have watched this one several times over the last couple of years and one day I will paint a mountain!
Another great tutorial Sir!!! I love the mountains and I 'll certainly give it a try. What about painting the Dolomiti next time?
Fabulous. Scraping or dry brush to make such amazing texture
wooow it was brilliant .merci paul🌹
You're welcome 😊 merci Ola🌹
I loved watching this and am itching to try it myself. Thank you fot your inspiration.
What a great lesson.....I love painting rocks and now you've shown me how to tackle mountains as well.....brilliant demo....thanks!
Cheers as always!!
That was great, loved the last one the best. Thanks, hope you're feeling well you look a bit tired today.
Omg, that was an amazing demonstration on how to paint mountains! Thank you so much, so inspiring! ❤️
So amazing! So easy to follow along! Please help with crashing waves and big foamy stuff. Pleeze! I need your genius I can’t get it right💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕❤
Hi there - I've done several videos with crashing waves - see links: th-cam.com/video/ZvXyTc0T-zU/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/hqXVxr1QXjU/w-d-xo.html
¡Fantastic tutorial! Thank You very much.
Loved watching all of this! The second mountain had me mesmerized. How do you know where to put a mark? I guess that’s part of being an artist. Letting your inner voice speak to you. Or as I like to say, “Holy Spirit guide me!”
Happy to help! 👍 - I did have some photo reference.
Hello Paul. I have just realised I have your book, ‘Watercolour Techniques & Tutorials For The Complete Beginner 2017 - 2021. I have been enjoying the book going for the last three months & suddenly saw your photo on the back page today! How funny! I was that engrossed learning, I never realised you are one & the same 😅😅😅🎨🖍
Wonderful! - yes .... that's me ... my one and only book!
Those mountains are AWESOME!! Thank you so much!! My toast didn’t work so well to remove the masking fluid, probably because it was too heavily buttered! Keep on drinking that yummy ale!!
Lol! - love that Donna - try ad avoid the marmalade too!
Just keeps getting better!
And what is the shape of your “magic scalpel?” Does it have a fine point or is it like a bit of an angled blade? Need to find me a magic scalpel. Could you use like a razor blade or something?
Really it's nothing special, just a craft knife from the local DIY - made by Stanley.
Very helpful tutorial, my best go to channel to learn watercolours :)
While I watched you I drank a triceratops double IPA 8.0% alcohol. By my fire downstairs in my house. Freaking a. What an inspiration and thank you so very very much.
Lol - love that!
I absolutely LOVED this video. I live in Switzlerland and my son is a great mountain climber/lover/ski instructor and I now have the courage to paint the Alps for his birthday. :)
That is awesome! thanks Delia!
Awesome demo of three different techniques.thanks for sharing
Just love watching you paint! It's magical how the scene comes to life as you paint. It's inspiring and encourages me to paint! Thank you --MARLYS --ontario, canada
Thank you so much 😀 MARLYS from Ontario,
I love how you demonstrated the mountains using different techniques. Do you have any demonstrations on how to paint rocks under water? Living in Lake Tahoe I see many rocks under water but am unable to paint them. Thank you!
I have a video on rocks, but not underwater ... maybe a new video!
It is a jolly good informative book, my favourite at the moment and have not been able to put it down. You have a good way of communicating; “Imagine you are with me in the medieval street of the village of Verrucola in Tuscany” drawing your readers into the project. First I read the book from cover to cover before starting the projects which I am enjoying learning these new skills. Also a big thank you for the 45 printouts! What a lovely gesture. Lovely website. Like your book, your TH-cam is different, I keep coming back for more 😊. I practice practice & practice each and every day, I love watercolour but it is by having good tutors who truly take an interest and enjoy sharing their knowledge that who get their details across. BIG Thank you Paul. ✏️🎨🖍
A BIG thank you to you too BB - much appreciated - keep in touch, more to come!
Loved the song for the third painting too! Perfect. Thank you for sharing all these tips. I must start dropping your name more often, you deserve more subscribers. Speaking of names, I believe I started watching Bill Alexander when I was a kid and never knew who this Bob Ross was until grown and flown. So sad not many remember that Bill was the first to say “ Happy little tree…”. Anyway Paul Clark is a name I enjoy talking about. Thanks again.
Awesome! Thank you Alison! - yes I think Bill taught Bob most of what he knew!
Painting after a busy day, I fell asleep waiting for the mountain to dry.. woke up in the middle of the night and finished at 5 a.m. 😂😅😵 didn’t look like yours, but it can surely get better with practice, thanks for your content, love your channel!!!
P.d.: first time using masking fluid ☺️🤩
Sounds great! Lol!!! - get to bed!
Beautiful,Beautiful, job Thank you for Sharing who did the singing Great Video....
Thank you so much!
Beautiful video Paul. Georgia O’Keefee and John Singer Sargent are few people who inspire me and you stand right there amongst them. Keep up the good work 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow! - to be even mentioned in the same sentence as those two is a big compliment!
Thank you so much for your amazing tutorials! I've been learning a lot! 🙏🏻❤️❤️
Glad you like them!
What paper size did you used
Usually 11" x 14'
Wow! Amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍 Thank you! 🤗
Thank you so much for your video and explanation! Painting landscapes is my stress reliever and most of the time I don't try nor want to make something pretty or realistic. I mostly just drop colors here and there, mix watercolor paint, pencils, wax pencils... I just go however I feel like.
But lately I've been painting a view that included mountains, and a friend of mine wanted me to finish the piece for him as a Christmas gift. The thing is that I had never painted mountains before so that was making me anxious. But your video helped immensely.
Your way to explain things make everything easier. 😊 I've been able to finish my painting and I'm quite excited about it.
Thank you again for sharing your time and experience with us. 💕
Great comment - thanks for sharing!
Marvellous mountains Paul and such useful different techniques. Fantastic light in no 2., very Bob Ross ! Thank you 😍🍒
Thanks as ever Cherry - yes love a bit of Bob!!!
Love all three mountains, especially second ( with the detail) and third mountain ; Love the amazing effect on third mountain; Love the background music in third mountain, Love your work Paul, it is always great to learn your method.
Thank you very much!
Not only are your paintings mesmerizing...you make it look so simple....that's another art I believe ...to make people pick up brush and try painting
Thank you so much 😀
Votre plus grande fan (Normande) de vos vidéos est une fois de plus merveilleusement enchantée par votre art pour peindre ces montagnes . Et toujours l immense plaisir de réviser mon anglais en vous écoutant...pourvu que vous gardiez le désir de nous faire partager vos secrets et surtout de toujours peindre ! 🤗
Paul, who originally started the " cling film " technique?
I see that you use the sharpened end of your paintbrush, whereas some people use a twigg sharpened from their Garden to pull grassy details. How do you come up with these different techniques? Do you just try some different things to see how they will work or someone actually started these different approaches to enhancing your art work
Hiya - not sure who started it - probably evolved years ago using other similar materials. I did start using a garden stick but kept loosing them so it's good to know it's always on the end of my brush.
I thought you wasn't going to have a tutorial this morning but I still checked when it was 8 o'clock. These three paintings are dynamic! Wonderful works of art as usual! Thank you so much and also thank you for the teaching the tecniques like how use the credit card to remove the paint. These are new methods I just learned.
You’re welcome 😊 Jillian!
I love the cling film ! Plus I have so many pics from hikes in Rockys that this will help me transfer into painting! Love your humor too, makes me giggle.
Awesome! Thank you!
I want to encourage everyone to give just a bit, at least, on the patron program. He gives us SO MUCH for nothing. I was a professor and also taught privately (voice). All types of artists end up giving, giving; people so often don't think about the fact that we do this for a living. Yes, it is fun, but we have to eat and buy booze. Please give enough for Paul and Margot to have a beer on us! And, no I am not his cousin or secret lover.
Lol! - always a great comment J and thanks for this!
Great demo of useful watercolor techniques!
And a wonderful way to paint without too much preplanning with great results!
Happy weekend :-)
.... and to you, thanks!
Thanks so much for all your teaching!! Always helpful for me. Pleas can you link me the white pencil? I don’t know what kind of pencil is...Thanks
Hiya - it's a white Stabio CarbOthello pastel pencil
What beautiful techniques and I shall defo be giving those a go... the second is really pulling at my 'to do' heart strings!
Loved today's music too and
Happy trees 🌳 😆 x
Go for it Sam!!! Lol! - Happy trees 🌳 😆 x
What a great video! Happily a new subscriber and I can't wait to watch many more of your presentations. Thanks so much.
Cheers Donna ... and a BIG welcome!

Beautiful. And great lesson. We don’t have to copy your paintings - as if we could. As if I could that is. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
I did an interesting experiment:
I copied the picture in negative colours !
That looks nice, like mountains covered with gras.
I mirrored it, too, I think it looks better mirrored.
Funny ! 🙂
Sounds great! - good plan!
another fantastic tutorial Paul, I already use the card method but haven't used the cling film yet but I will soon. Thank you for getting my mind racing. :-)
Glad it was helpful Mike!
I'm having difficulty with your card technique; when I try it, it doesn't work as well unless I scrape off the top layer of the paper. Is that how it's supposed to work? I was pointed to your tutorial by two different people in two different Facebook watercolor beginner groups. I'm new to this, so thank you for your tutorials and your lovely work!
Hi Tanya - are you sure you are using proper watercolour paper as this shouldn't happen?
cant do this with the equipment i have, could anyone give me an idea as to what is making it so that when i take my card to the paint, the paint doesnt lift off as easily?
materials list:
academy wc paper 100% cotton
MozArt watercolor half pan set
has to be one of the 2
Hiya - it should work with those materials - dry painting a little longer - when it's semi dry.
Very cool...and i love that you dont need ages for the drawings first👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😃👏🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
How I love watching the magic happen.
Thanks Norma!
Sir I have seen you using pastels over watercolor in a lot of videos. But to save these works later they must then be sprayed with fixative... I hope fixative doesn't creates water droplet effects all over watercolor surface then?
Hiya - no I never use any fixative on my paintings - they either go straight in a frame if I like them or in my draw between layout paper.
Paul, thanks so much for the beautiful demonstration and really good explanation of your 3 Easy Ways! All the best
Glad it was helpful!
How to paint with a credit or oyster card✏️🤗🖍🎨 Just to add .. These are lovely washes. 🍻Cheers!
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi , Paul,
I don't believe it, and you are not going to believe it, it's a about 2 weeks, I am trying to do mountains, specially snowy ones, .thank you so much for your help !
Best of luck! ... and delighted to help .... and I do believe it!!! 😊
I can't wait to try to plastic wrap and credit card techniques! Thank you for the demo and for sharing your time with us.
My pleasure Rosanne!
Oh goodness! I live in Bangkok now. I used to live in Austria. I have a picture of a mountain I hiked to that is so so very similar. I have my next project going on in my mind! thank you Paul!
So cool! - go for it Sandra!
