Mr. Clark, I do not have enough words to express my gratitude for sharing your work with us. You give what you know and the knowledge that you have accumulated with so many years of work, you do not have any selfishness and allow us to learn from you. I wish many of the so-called greats learned a bit from you. Thanks again for your time and for your talent.
Wow, thank you JG - that's one of the nicest compliments I've ever had and I'm very grateful. I get enormous pleasure from doing these videos and sharing what I've learned, mainly because I've enjoyed the learning the process from others over the years. Keep in touch as there is lots more to come!!!!
@ J G you expressed my feelings much better than I could.
Have more to add but a wonderful soul Mr. Clark is.
My favorite place to be- beach & the waves are most special.
Maybe you paint a happy beach someday less somber & grim?
I am so glad I have found you on youtupe, amazing to see you watercolouring, thanks a lot, greetings from Gent, Belgium, linda
Mr Clark l have come across your videos on TH-cam n l spend hours watching them over n over again! It's absolutely mesmerizing for me as l am a retired old school teacher who finds a lot of joy n solace in painting n am new to the techniques of watercolor.When the Pandemic has created a shadow of death over our heads here l find your videos a great place to learn something new. You are a wonderful teacher who is ready to pass on the great techniques you have accumulated in your treasury through your hard work. In lndia we call it Guru(teacher) sishya(pupil) parampara (tradition of transmission). You hold nothing back....all the knowledge is for those who want to learn. So Guru l wanted to say agrateful thank you. I know l have a long long way to go but l will try very hard sir. My pranam(salutation). Indrani Niyogi.
To Indrani... your comment inspired me, at 68 to learn to Watercolor is going to be an adventure. I too admire Mr. Clark... so kind and willing to share. Take care ... Pam from California 🌺🌴❤
“By the sea , by the sea, by the beautiful sea!” - that’s me singing ! How envious I am that you live near the sea and how happy am I that I found your wonderful tutorials ! Thank you Paul !
Wonderful - thanks Leanne!!!!
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous
You are hands down without a doubt the best watercolor instructor on youtube ❤
Wow, thank you! ... very kind!
Paul, I enjoy your videos, from your art style to your teaching methods, to your episode-specific shirts, to your humor. This video was particularly captivating, as you demonstrated your expertise with a lovely subject and perfect music for the mood. Thank you many times over.
Fond memories of the Sussex coast, after leaving school at Patcham I used to cycle the coastal path from Saltdean to Brighton to work, waves used to crash over the top of me, or the seagulls would attack lol. Great video lesson, thank you 👍🏻
Thanks Robert, lovely comment. Know Patcham well - I live just along the coast at Bexhill!
Thankyou so much for your tutorials. They are brilliant! I’m a beginner and I have learned more from you than anyone else. You describe things so simply and I love the way you create texture and light. I’ve just ordered your watercolour book and can’t wait to read it and learn from it. Like everyone else has already said you a selfless person willing to give your expertise to us for no cost of which I am truly grateful. Please please don’t ever stop! I’m just finishing the picture of the art and fruit shop and loving it!
That's so good to hear Pat ... and no plans to stop!
This is by far the best art TH-cam channel about watercolor, thank you very much 🌹
Thank you so much 😀
We used to have a beach cottage, a true one in a family beach in Florida that my Father's parent's owned forever, right on the beach. Very rustic, very wonderful. My safe place. Learned so much without realizing I was learning it. It was named Onadune for the obvious reason. That shingle, cypress cottage stood for decades and decades through everything nature had to throw at it! It was perfection. I miss it terribly!! Terri
Thanks for sharing! - I can imagine the lovely little cottage in my head - and you'll always have your memories!
@@ArtbyPaulClark One can hope...the memories will stay!
I enjoy your sense of humor and your teaching talent, thanks!
I appreciate that Maria - many thanks!
I’ve always wanted to paint an ocean wave, but it looked impossible. Even though I’m not sure I’m advanced enough to try this, I may try some small waves in my sketchbook, thanks to your sharing this tutorial. Thank you so much!🐚🌊🙋🏼♀️
Thank you! Cheers!
I was a huge fan of Bob Ross, I still am, I would sit and watch and listen to Bob as he spoke and painted, enthralled as these most beautiful of paintings emerged and I would think, "I could do that". I believed it when he told me that I too, "could do it". I never did of course, life stuff and all that would take over. Nevertheless, for that half hour, I escaped. I cannot give a greater compliment than to say that is how I felt watching you paint. I am so glad that I spent some of my time here; that picture is simply stunning. The tone, even the music and humour, I loved. In these most difficult of times, for everybody, I really need to start. Thank you for this. :)
Thanks Tony, that's very kind of you too say - have you seen my tribute to Bob?

@@ArtbyPaulClark Yes, a very good impersonation lol. I notice you have a Watercolour book on Amazon for beginners, so Im going to take a look at that. :)
A big thank you Paul.
All I can say is “Wow!” This is so beautiful and you make it look effortless!!
Thank you so much!
Enjoyed this for a second time. Your waves are amazing!
Thanks so much 😊
Don from Williamsford, Ontario, Canada....Love the tutorials...Learning from my mistakes...better days ahead!
Keep it going Don from Williamsford
Paul, watching you at work is such a pleasure because you are oh so professional! Thanks for sharing!

This is excellent , I love the intro lol, it’s a gorgeous seascape , Thankyou for sharing 😊
Thanks so much Jen! 😊 - your channel looks interesting too - good luck with it!
I don’t know how I missed this one; but so glad I found it! Paul, if you only knew how much your art inspires me! It is also very relaxing in these difficult days of 2020. Thank you for caring and sharing these beautiful pieces with us all! God bless you!
Wow, thank you too Charles for watching!!!
Thanks for this awesome video. The trick of lifting color with the tissue paper is wonderful!
Glad it was helpful!
One word: Wow and thank you
Wonderful tutorial, Paul. I love your work. This has inspired me to try a sea scape. Thank you so much
Wonderful! That's very kind Ritu and so pleased you're going it have a go!
You Sir, are a planetary treasure! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart on Thanksgiving Day!!
Same to you! and a HUGE thank you Trinidiana!!!
Turned 75 this May and started watercolor watching and sketches. I have picked up quite a bit of techniques from you. Thanks for your exciting presentations.
My pleasure 😊
You are the master of watercolour , that was brilliant. I am learning so much from you., Thank you.
Subhanallah!Really love how you catch the feeling in every painting!✨
Thanks Amina - that's very kind!!!
Paul Clark ✨💕
Beautiful! Love the waves you can feel the spray. Do you start with fresh color from the tube with each painting ?
Not always only when I run out!
Greetings from Canada, Mr. Clark. I'm a complete novice in water colours and your videos are an immense help to me. Who would have thought of using a knife to scrape in wave effects? So thank you so much for your generous gift of your talent and tips.
That's great to hear Lynn - and good luck in your watercolour journey!
Mr Clark, I can't thank you enough for your time and expertise, I look forward to trying your techniques.❤
You are very welcome
Your an absolute hoot,great artist and inspirational to watch happy holidays ❤️🎨
Thank you! You too! - many thanks
Love that, thank you. My son also lives on the south coast and I just love those sea views.
Q - how do you know when you’re done? I have a habit of fiddling and not knowing when enough is enough.
Hi Dilys - that's a great question and it's one I ask myself every time I paint! - Many a time I've ruined a painting by overworking it - but I've taught myself to stop when there is enough info to suggest what the subject is (if that makes sense!!) It's always good to be a little vague so the viewer has to interpret things for themselves. It's probably the hardest thing of all and I know many artists struggle with it. I guess a lot of it comes down to experience and not trying to be too literal when coping a reference photos.
I live on a small island on the west coast of Canada. My dream is to be able to paint my beautiful island someday. This painting is gorgeous.
Hi Paul,
21 years ago I chose hospitality to BA Fine Arts. I'm 43 now and applying this year to pursue my dream. Your videos gives inspiration. Keep up your good work.
Fantastic! - good luck!
Paul, I like the fact that you give us percentages of each color to make a mixture. But how do we measure out the percentage a out?
Thanks Josephine - the percentages are really only a guide - it's really about experimenting and just mixing your own version to be close - if that makes sense!.
Thank you for sharing with us! So much to learn! You make it look so easy! (Your background music is really irritating 🙃)
Thanks Virginia - I think I had the music set a little too loud on this one!
The music was too loud and the voiceover too low. But still a great demo.
Excellent tutorial! You are a great teacher and explain clearly with details. Many thanks.
You're very welcome!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching you create this painting. The varied techniques and how to apply them fascinated me. I'll be back for more! Thank you!!
Thanks so much Janet!
Hello from Toronto Canada,
I have been binge watching your videos. I'm a beginner and have learned so much from you and feel inspired. I love your humour, your comical acting and the video music.
Thanks so much for everything and I truly appreciate you.
Awesome! Thank you so much Linda from Toronto .... Go Leafs Go!
I have only recently discovered your channel. One of many things that makes your work stand out is the attention to detail that you give to all paintings, even wet into wet.which most people ignore. Thank you for the advice in the videos, shame I don;t live on the South coast.
Thank you very much and welcome Mike!
Love those waves🌊 and then I love....the whole painting!!!!
Those seagulls from far away are beautiful!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Those paintings that you have done are......GORGEOUS!!!!!!
Yes, you are a MAESTRO.
PS- I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU TO WATCH OUT FOR THAT BIG WAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!😯🌊
Thank you! Cheers!
Fabulous, Fabulous! So much to learn. Thank you so much. Your videos are wonderful. Wish I'd found you sooner, but so anxious to paint along and learn. Thank you, thank you.
You are so welcome Tara!
Best video on ocean waves, etc. I have seen. Thanks.
There are so many things I have learnt and learning from your videos. You are a very good teacher. Many many thanks Paul. God bless you. ❤️
You are very welcome
Love this painting. I can smell the sea air. Thanks!
Thank you so much 😀
Hello Paul,I come from East Sussex,and went ‘down to the seaside’ often with my family and when I was at the Art faculty of Brighton Uni.I’m in 🇨🇦now.LOVE YOUR ART,You are the best water-colourist out there!!! Thank you from my heart ♥️🇨🇦
Hi Jean, many thanks - I know Brighton uni and the city very well - great place! ♥️ 🇨🇦
🤣🤣🤣 that intro! Happy painting everyone ☀️
Thank you! Cheers! 🤣
So gifted I struggle so can never get it right. Thank you for sharing
I can feel the spray. My next project. Thanks Paul !
Have fun Tony!
Thank you for giving us such a great teaching.
You are the most selfless and talented teacher.
May all the good be with you.
Thank you! 😃
Thank you! Wonderful that you included so many techniques for painting a crashing wave.
Glad it was helpful!
Very beautiful watercolors. A good teacher with a sense of humor. Pleasure... A lesson that I appreciated all the more because the sea is what I find the most difficult to paint for me. Thanks
Thank you so much 😀
I agree with all the other comments. I wonder how many tries before I can get even close to this masterpiece!
Beautiful, as always. I left this video to last as we are here down under into summertime. I have to add some of our special dolphins who delight us no end.
Sounds great! - you're very lucky - it's p*ssing down here!!!
Just found you today Paul! Very inspiring and definitely going to have a go at this beautiful seascape. My husband was over the moon when he spotted the Hammers mug! 🤣
Great to hear ... up the Hammers!!!
Paul, I love your technique. It's really easier to understand.
Great to hear!
awesome teaching material Mr Clark... thank you and I really enjoy it
I'M ABSOLUTELY ADDICTED!!!😃
Thanks Leta!!!
First time I saw this when looking for a tutorial on crashing waves. Oh, you are too funny with your introductions. 🤣 Your innuendos are hilarious, " Wet the paper, and let it soak in for a few months."
I love your tutorials best of all!
Glad it was helpful!
You have inspired me so very, very much. I’ve followed many artists on TH-cam since retiring a few years ago and have now unsubscribed from most of them! Your explanations and humour are encouraging on the worst of days here in East Anglia where, in recent times, we seem to have nothing but cold wind from the north! We also live very near the sea, different from your coast but beautiful.
Cheers Brenda - Love East Anglia! - spent many hours cycling across it!!!
Just beautuful. Really liked the effect of your work with the scalpel. Thank you for the amazing instructions.
Thank you very much!
Most certainly the most visually rewarding tutorials that make difficult subjects look like a walk in the park. Absolutely fantastic
Glad it was helpful!
An absolutely fabulous tutorial. Thank you so much. I just love your channel and your humour.
I really appreciate that u edit the video in the theme of drawing it makes it more cool🙂
Thank you so much 😀
This lesson is very helpful! I can’t wait to try it.
Have fun!
Wow! using 3 new techniques will really help me paint better seascapes. They were: card scratching, wax crayon, and a scalpel. Really, really useful.
You are so welcome!
Another lovely lovely painting inspiration and tutorial. Thank you so much.
I love watching your videos Paul..Thanks a lot for being a great blessings to all of us😊😊😊😊
You are so welcome Jan
😂😂😂 LOVED your intro!!! Kudos for going all in!! And thanks for all the great seascape tips!
Glad you liked it Lisa!! - still got water in my ear!!!
Thank you for sharing this in such detail Paul. I am a self taught water colourist but I have always feared to attempt painting a seascape.. I shall try now. Thank you.
You are very welcome
Simply Brilliant. The composition, way of explaining, your artistry and the generosity with which you have shared this lesson with us. Many Thanks, and am going to buy your book next.
Thank you so much 😀
Brilliant as always, Paul! Thanks so much 😊🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful to look at and captivating to watch you paint it, I've tried for years, thank you.
Thank you so much 😀
That was exotic... Magical. Loved watching the video... The music adds to the whole experience!!! Thanks for such a lovely video. 🙏
Wow - thank you, many thanks!!!
I did this one Paul and thanks to your fab tuition it’s the first surf painting I have ever done. It’s turned out brilliant and I’m so inspired and somewhat surprised of how well it is. Thank you again for your patient and amusing videos. I don’t think you want to be bothered with my work but if you want to see it, PM me and I’ll send a pic. Cheers.
Delighted it helped Francis - you can always email it to me!
Mr.clark, 感謝您無私的分享 看你畫畫是很大的樂趣 你的畫作令人驚喜 💗💗💗
Thanks Mr. Clark, for your very simplified steps for this lovely seaside video. I know I’ve picked up quite a few tips from this lesson. Love it!
Delighted to help Mangai

I love painting water and enjoyed doing this one!Thank you for the wonderful step by step tutorial
Thanks so much 😊
Wow! Mr. Clark, I don’t like it…I LOVE IT! You totally give license to experiment and unlock the mystery of the waves and sparkling spray effect. I am giddy to try. Thank you so much for being an artist who shares not just his talent but his delightful personality on video. Cheers!
- Texas fan
Thanks so very much. (I'd lovingly give more if I could. But this comes from my heart and with a lot of gratitude). I started watching this fascinating video with a giggle😂, with all the water in the picture, but ended it with a biiig WOW! Never seen any seascape teaching like this. I do love your videos so much, they are all informative, done with joy and knowledge (what a compelling combination, this is pulling me to try it myself!) easy to understand and with a good sence of humor. Thank you so much for all your effort Mr. Clark
Thanks so much Beatrix - very kind of you!
Mr Clark, as always you are an awesome teacher, love your videos and wait...if i might say quite impatiently for the next....
Thank you! 😃
I was mesmerized by the beauty of your works.
Thanks so much!
Absolutely beautiful. I love it!
Thank you so much!
Paul, anyone ever tell you, that you might've missed your calling of a Dr.? :) Your handling of that scalpel was excellent!
that combination of scratching the paper with the soften-ing of the water edges: beautifully done!
Wow, thanks Lauren - lol!!! - A Dr.!!! - one sniff of blood and I'm out!
I really enjoyed this tutorial, especially the softening of the spray....so helpful. Thank you
You are so welcome!
Some great tips as always. Love the way you created the breaking wave. Thanks Paul. Keep on splatting!
Glad you enjoyed it Chris!!
Just beautiful!
My God! You are a genius. It is so beautyful. Thank you so much 😊
Thank you! 😊
Loved watching you paint. Learn something new every day!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I don't know whether to think of you more as an artist or more as a magician..... MAGNIFICENT AND BREATHTAKING. I wish I lived in England so I could take a course with you.
Thanks Elliot that's very kind of you! - keep in touch!
Those waves are unbelievable wow
Cheers Diane!
Thank you, THANK you, THANK YOU! 🤗🖌🙏
You are so welcome
It's simply amazing! I don't know how to express my appreciation! You are the best!
Wow, thank you!
WoW - do I dare even try? Watched several times. Wow. Thank you for the inspiration. I thoroughly enjoy watching. Merci.
You can do it!
Patty- This my first time viewing your video. I live on the coast of California and have a deep love of the ocean. Seascapes are my favorites. I am just starting on watercolor so I plan on visiting your videos in the future. I learned quite a bit from this one. Thanks for sharing.
If only😢 I could be half as good, I will keep watching and practicing 😂
You can do it!
Just watched this again. Def one of my favs. Thanks
Great to hear - thanks!
Fabulous! Just a wealth of talent as an artist and wonderful teacher.
Cheers Maureen!
