Mr Paul, you have tugged at my heartstrings today! My daddy absolutely loved his tractor. He was 87 when he passed and was on his tractor a week before he died. He taught my son to drive/use it and those are such sweet memories. I’m going to certainly try to paint this one! As always, thank you so much for your tutorials.
What a great story, thanks for sharing Angie!
I like the moment your paintings come alive paul. Many thanks for your videos
You outdid yourself on this Paul, absolutely incredible
Hey there Paul, this is Rita.... Love, love love... just finished painting my brother in law's 1987 Ford Bronco II Limited Addition, however, tires are a bit daunting ... the tires were a bit wonky, (I was tired out) ... until I watched a few tutorials on painting cars and tires!!! I couldn't toss the first one in the trash because the rest of it was okay ... so, I aged it a bit in a field of grass and placed a sign up that said "best in show 1987". then I painted the one I thought was more like the one he took much care to preserve. He loved them both which now hang in his garage. I love the rusty ones. Their is a certain allure. Thank you for this tutorial. And thank you for taking the time to care of all who care so much about learning how to paint . God Bless!!!
Hi Rita - lovely comment - thanks!
Neato Paul, What a great picture. Wednesdays are the highlight of the week thanks to you and Margot. Love your humor. Thanks, Sherry
Hi Paul, I just read that Frank Clarke (have some more fun) passed away in Dec. What a loss. He and yourself have done so much for us novices on the point of encouragement. Thanks for sharing your gift. Phil from Ohio
Hi neighbor, neat to see someone else from Ohio on this channel. I'm in the NE rural Ohio.
Hi Aliscia, I'm in Canton, where are you? Thanks for writing
Appreciate your instructions on why you choose certain colors for warmth and shading, as well, your comment about using long continous strokes. I always learn something new with each video.
Nice job with the tractor. every stroke adds to the overall impression!
I see myself riding off in that tractor. It’s really lovely,Paul.
Hey Paul - you are amazing. The music to your tutorial is so relaxing I almost fell asleep - but just managed to stay focused. Thank you for allowing us to watch your videos free of charge.
You're very welcome!
A very harmoniously blended piece
I absolutely loved the video of the old rustic tractor, I’m going to give it a try. My late husband was a farmer all his life and had quite an array of old tractors….thanks for the memories. Sincerely, Victoria from Dahlonega, Ga
That is awesome, thanks Victoria from Dahlonega!
Дякую, Paul.Захоплююсь Вашими уроками, Ви для мене як ковток свіжого і чистого повітря!
Many thanks Luda!
Ah Paul, that was pure magic to watch! The fact that you so very generously provide the drawing templates for these tutorials also makes it so accessible to us as drawing is the downfall of many of us who are amateur painters. Thank you so very much. I thoroughly enjoyed it and really can't wait to give it a whirl. 💕
Love this tutorial Paul!! Brings back memories of my Dad! He rebuilt and sold old tractors and new farm equipment in the last years of his life. Everyone called him Tractorman. I’m inspired to paint his old red Farmall!!!
Superb Paul. Great to watch a master at work! Thankyou.
I find myself coming back to Mr Clark's videos time & again, and it is easy to see why! I happen to work on a farm-he nailed it. Loved the music in this one too!
Great to hear!
Paul! I just love this painting. Choosing to depict itthe tractor in Blue it reminds me of my old Fordson Major although it had exhausts on the bonnet. Elderly when I was thrilled to start driving it for harvest 1950 when I was 11. When I was heavy enough to depress the clutch when I stood with all my weight on it I was untrusted with this machine, two four whelped trailers and two men to draw in the sheaves of corn. What a thrill. One small thing, No farmer I ever knew and I have known many in three countries, would ever dump a tractor bearing such new looking tyres - or indeed any. Always so many alternative sea for them. Fantastica. I Love it. Look forward to having a go

Thanks so much, Paul. I so enjoyed but was not distracted by your tractor. I learn so much from you and enjoyed my breakfast again with you on this Watercolor Wednesday!
What a wonderful time to watch this coming to life. Thank you so much.❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
As a farmer's daughter, this is beautiful and is taught so well. Thank you.
So nice of you
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This will help me get painting again. Great teaching style.
hi Paul what a lovely tractor painting just up my street can't wait to give it a go
Hi Paul, Being a farmboy of, what seems like a hundred years ago, this watercolour struck a chord with me. Thank you, my friend. Come back soon. PS. A perfect colour choice for this rusty derelict from years past! Eric...
Glad you enjoyed it
Your work is so, so pretty.
It’s a realistic, cool old tractor. The color is elegant.💕🐬
I love watching you paint. I love this picture.
Amazing project! The way you take a bulldozer photo, you get it old and you fit it in a nice landscape is stunning! Thank you very much to share your skills.
Dear Paul, I really like your choice of topic. I just watched it, but I enjoyed your presentation material throughout. This is my favorite video right now. I'll start tomorrow morning.
Good morning 🍳🥛🍩☕ dear Paul 💋! I welcome you to your cozy watercolor studio and am happy to write another commentary on the new video! Amazing topic - rural equipment! There is something sad in this with notes of sadness 😔! The old hard worker-tractor has worked out his life and is now abandoned, proving to be useless, rusting in the air. Only a talented artist managed to smooth over the lonely fate of the old tractor and give it a second life in his picture, presenting it in all its glory, depicting it as an honest worker who gave all his strength for the good of people! Of course, there are many machines that are indispensable in agriculture, faithful helpers for farmers - combines, seeders .... Even when they become unusable, they retain their dignity, but only a brilliant artist who can see the beauty even in such an old one technique can see it and subtly notice all the nuances ! Thank you Paul for your rare talent and I like 👍 for the work of art! All the best to you and further success. Bye ... bye ... P.S. Sorry Paul could not be the first to respond to your video, we had a disconnected Internet -for preventive work on the line of the Internet provider!
👍👍👍🎨🎨🎨🖼️🖼️🖼️♥️♥️♥️🚜🚜🚜😊😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗🤗🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️
Do you agree with me Paul?or not.....???❤❤❤💋💋💋👍👍👍😊🖐🖼🎨🌹🌹🌹
Hi Adela - glad to hear your internet is working now. What a lovely comment, beautifully written and poetic and agree with it all! - take care Paul
@@ArtbyPaulClark Thank you Paul for responding to my comment! Always agree with me! I love only the word "Yes"! The word "No" does not exist for me, only "Yes" ..... otherwise 🙄😪💪🤛🤜✊💣🔨🔫🏹🗡️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dear Paul it was only a joke , I love different jokes and practical jokes !!! Do not be angry dear 💋... !!!
Another great video Paul nice to go back to country scenes 👍
Gorgeous! Love the colors and subject. Rust is my jam! ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
EVERYTHING you paint comes to Life, even an old tractor! You are amazingly talented.I follow your techniques of painting wet on wet for the skies, to let the colours merge and blend on their own, and WOW, I was thrilled to bits when the paints finally dried to give me a fantastic sky! THANKS FOR YOUR DEMONSTRATIONS!
I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO DO THIS ONE !!! I love it..I think I tend to lean toward old things in some state of deterioration sitting in grasses..They seem to be my favorites..Mailboxes, Bicycles, etc.
Thanks again for all your expertise..I really love doing your tutorials..Enjoy your weekend..😇
You are so welcome Missy 👍
Very nice Paul! I am a Minnesota USA gal who grew up on a farm. My farmer father would have loved this scene while not quite accepting the blue Case tractor!!! Job well done. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
well done paul 1st class painting again please keep painting subject matter was very good brilliant just brilliant
Love this one, of course I love everyone you paint! Wednesday is my favorite day of the week. Always a great big thank you for your teaching!
Thank you so much 😀
Great old tractor painting Paul. I love doing these kinds of watercolors…. Old trucks, old barns, old Tractors, etc. Fairly realistic but with subtle and loose surroundings. Can’t wait to “give it a go”. Thanks again for a wonderful tutorial.
Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it
That’s a beautiful painting Paul. The tractor looked a bit flat at first but adding the details really brought it out. I loved the music too, especially the song. And the beer!
Thank you so much 😀
Its My First time watching a painting in detail & with lots of Tips... thank you sir
So nice of you
Paul - Huge thanks for this one...could watch you paint for hours. You are a truly inspiring!!!! Cheers......
Thank you so much 😀
I love watching you paint, thank you for all that you do 😊
Thank you so much 😀
I love all your paintings Paul and loved this one in particular.
Love this one! Reminds me of my grandpa's tractor. You have inspired me to attempt to paint one of his tractors for my dad's 85th birthday. Thank you so much!!
Easily one of the best tutorials ever Paul. So nostalgic. I was immediately back on a hobby farm in NZ 50 years ago with a little "Fergie". Exquisite detail to a lovely old subject.
Tractors bring memories to many ... especially those made in my year... 52!!! We lived around farmers... and agriculture now. Anyway, very pleasant music 🎶 to watch you create this painting. Lots to learn and love hearing you explain as you paint! Happy Ground Hog's Day! Ha!!! Thank 😊 you, Sir Paul! A California Gramma ♥️
Thank you so much for teaching me how to paint! ❤️ God bless you so much 😊
Oh wow, my husband has a Case tractor and it’s his birthday next month! Brilliant Birthday present idea!! I’ll have to leave it orange though!
What a fantastic result !
Great tutorial as always, many thanks
Thank you! Cheers
Looks like real!! So wonderfully drawn and painted. The colors are brilliant and blending together warmly. Many thanks Mr. Clark for all the work you do every Wednesday for us.
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful work. It reminded me of the importance to keep going back in with stronger colour to add depth.
Great tutorial; you had that old tractor singing but you added so many tips and techniques which were so helpful! Thanks 💗
Glad it was helpful!
Simply love to watch your tutorials.I learn so much from you, THANK YOU A HUNDRED TIMES!
Amazing, I grew up military but spent every summer on my Grandparents farm; I lived in sweet memories throughout the tutorial; have to watch it again to take notes. Thank you, Sir.
my pleasure .... enjoy!
I like pictures of old machinery being absorbed into nature. The contrast between soft foliage and hard metal fascinates me. If you want to make my day could you try a similar theme with a steam locomotive, or a traction engine - perhaps even an aeroplane?
who knew that an old rusty tractor sitting abandoned in a field could be so beautiful?? I love it!!
My husband is an ex farmer - he will love this for his office. Thank you so much Paul. Always enjoy your tutorials. Thank you so much.
Beautiful ! Thank you for sharing a fab rendition !!
Wow, speechless! Just WOW
Just gorgeous. Thank you. I have organized myself to paint this tomorrow.
Have fun Joyce!
Very instructive and relaxing to watch. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
My pleasure 😊
An excellent picture with nice background music! ❤🙏
Thanks for listening
another ripper Paul - I learnt much about constantly returning to areas to add detail (without overdoing it) and admired your brush control immensely
Aussie Phil
Cheers Phil
I really enjoyed this tutorial. I loved the way the tractor seemed to rise from the background as you completed the painting. Thank you.
Andy
Thanks! Beautiful painting and great tutorial as usual.
Beautiful work..and beautiful calm song..this time, like for it also..
Another great tutorial! Much more my ‘cup of tea’ than the black paper one 😉
Thanks again, Paul.
.... me too David - have fun!
Just love the themed T-shirt. 😄
Thanks for painting an old tractor and making it look good. It gave me some inspiration to try to paint a more complicated subject like a tractor. I think this is one of your best tutorials so far.
i love how it turned out !!! stunning ty for showing how to paint it
You are so welcome!
magic hands, talented mind, and so big heart to share such beautiful art with us
Being an old farm girl, I've thoroughly enjoyed watching you painting this old tractor. Your explanations as you paint is so thorough, and I enjoy it so incredibly. Thank you for taking me along on another exciting journey!
I learn so much each time I watch one of your posts.
Thank you, the next time I need rust I will try the blue and orange. And a big thank you to all those (past, present, and future) in the farming community. We would not be here without them.
Well said Essie!!!!
Absolutely stunning!!! Thank you yet again for another magical tutorial 🙏
Wonderful as usual Paul. You get to a stage and I think wow, that's lovely, then you add subtle little bits of colour, splatter and pastels and it just sings. You are inspiring.
Absolutely stunning painting!
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely breathtaking!! TY ❤️
Thank you so much!
Every tutorial leaves me terrified to start and proud when I finish. Step by step with you is the way to go. I love that you re always so positive. I can hardly sleep Tuesday nights waiting for watercolor Wednesday.
Whoa!!!! Thanks for this! Can I sketch a tractor?!! Thanks to you, at least I have no fear. I still need to watch last week's video! This is wonderful, Paul.
Thanks as always J!
Extraordinary! the combination of colours stands in perfect harmony, love the way you created the farm scenario and of course the Tractor beer ha, ha. Thanks Paul.
Beautiful watercolor! I really liked this plot. I love your paintings! 😍
Thank you very much!
I love old tractor's and old trucks, I love old silo's too.
Real Americana.
Thank you for sharing your talent.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow! Super! I came across a similar looking tractor this fall in Alberta. It was a Massey Harris, bright red. It's amazing how everything comes to life and comes off the page.
Many thanks Natalie!
That was fabulous to watch!!!
Absolutely love this one!!! Can't wait to try something similar with an old rusted truck I have photos of. Thanks for the inspiration!! And I love the t-shirt by the way!
and now your grass video will be even more popular. thank you so much :)
So nice of you Cladia - many thanks!
Wow !! As always i enjoyed it so much !! Thank you ! Paul 😀
Fantastic video Paul! Learned a ton of things about texture and grass lol. I always enjoy your humour and the extra stuff you pour into your tutorials, like the Tractor beer😊
I never thought an old tractor could be so beautiful.
This one is unbelievable! Easily in my top 5 of all your tutorials! Watching this one come to life❤️❤️❤️ Can’t wait to give it a go!

Paul, This is my absolute favourite of all my favourites from your tutorials. My project for this winter is to do every one of your tutorials. A few have taken a few tries. But it is really great fun.
I absolutely love it! Especially how you enlisted the help of the colored pencils at the end. The result is nothing short of brilliant...!
Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot for sharing this beautiful painting.
INCREDIBLE!
