    Thank you, Thank you! I have been inspired by and a huge fan of August Macke for more than 30 years. I have a big collection of Macke prints. So happy to see you featuring his work. Thanks for your generosity in sharing your skill with us.

    Well Paul, you say this is not your normal style of painting, and I believe you.
    But for someone who doesn't normally paint in this style, you've created a couple of amazing pieces of work.
    This is absolutely superb and I must congratulate you on a job well done.

    Mr Paul!! Again, you and watercolor Wednesday are why I love Wednesday! I really enjoy learning about other artists and seeing how you re-create their work putting your own special spin on it These paintings remind me so much of the color blocking painting we did. (The painting with the white building and boat next to the ocean) You are so right, it’s amazing how artists inspire others. Thank you for your time, energy and patience teaching us!

    Good afternoon, ☕🥧dear Paul! I’m glad to see you again on your favorite channel and, as always, thank you for the video and for your work. I love watching your hands, they create wonderful landscapes on paper with paints! The same paints, and you skillfully create a palette and every time in a new way. The drawing technique is easy, but looks very impressive. I want to draw it immediately! I wish you all the best and new interesting projects, traveling with friends 🏇⛷️🏃🏌️🚴🏋️🤾🤸, introducing us to interesting 😂 corners of Britain. All the best to you, dear Paul, I like it 👍, as always, see you again! Bye... bye...💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🎨🖼️😊😊😊

      Hello sweet Adela! 👋🏻🙋🏻‍♀️Hope you have a blessed day! I may try to paint this. (I say that every Wednesday. 🤦🏻‍♀️) I still need to finish a commission and package it up for shipping. 💌📬 Didn’t you say you work with oils? Maybe try it with oil. I still wait to see if you post on your channel. 👀 We need to be brave like Paul and step out of our comfort zone. 🚧 Much love! ❤🙏🏻🥰

      Hello dear girl Jacqueline! (let me call you that😊) I will definitely publish my works on my channel, gradually, because I can’t do everything at once simultaneously. Try painting in oils, I’m sure you’ll be able to paint beautifully and it’s not difficult to paint with oils, it’s more difficult to paint with watercolors, you’ll like it, I’m sure. Lately I’ve become interested in watercolors, and I’ve already forgotten about oils. But now I’ve read your comment and I again had the desire to paint in oils! Today Paul’s lesson was easy in technique and I am grateful to him! By the way, I placed his photo on my smartphone and tablet and I admire it every moment and immediately want to draw as soon as I look at it!😂😂 😂🤣🤣🤣😄😄😄

    When I discovered your videos a year or two ago, I hoped I would learn to paint a little and to become better at drawing. Indeed, I learnt about materials, techniques, values, colours, shadows, contrast ... But I realize that now, I'm also looking at art differently. I tell myself I'm starting to understand why I "like" a specific picture, statue, building, etc. And that in turn helps me to become a better painter too. Thanks so much and kind greetings from Antwerp, Belgium!

    Hi Paul … Barb O. from California …great lesson. Definitely liked the second landscape piece the best. It’s interesting in the still life my eyes/brain missed the shadows..this style is very static… loved the bright colors. The black lines in the landscape made it look very elementary/cartoonish… liked it without but i get it.. that was the artists style. Yes 4 sure this would b excellent 4 a beginner pInter. I found my self thinking of gouache in the still life.. ill try that & add some shadows… back 2 looser painting… as always thank you 4 showing us different artists styles… i lov 2 see it all & study how the great masters painted. We r definitely fortunate 2b living now with so much inspiration (past & present), abundance of supplies & social media access. Thank you 4 your time to teach.

    Good morning Paul ! I’ve had to stop painting because of a neck/ shoulder issue and I am getting so depressed ! I haven’t been able to do any tutorials or challenges for a few weeks now ! I’m so afraid I’m going to lose everything I’ve just worked so hard to learn ! I’m really hoping today my neck wilI at least let me get through one of these paintings they are both so beautiful ! Thank you Paul , I love the colors ! Blessings to you and Margot!!

      I injured my shoulder very badly over 4 months ago and I am looking at 12 more months of physio before I can hope to have mobility back BUT I have totally amazed myself by the things that I have learned to be able to do against the odds including painting. It isn't easy at all when you are in pain and mobility is restricted but please don't give up. Small achievements lead to greater ones and you will recover. I believe that and I am still in a sling for the foreseeable future. Just take it one day at a time and you will surprise yourself! Good luck!

    • @RobertHopkinsArt
      @RobertHopkinsArt ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It’s good to take breaks anyway. It’s not good to just crank out another painting. Observe, learn, reflect. Look at your old paintings and critique them with fresh eyes. Painting doesn’t just come from the hand. It requires a sharp mind too. Spend this time learning everything you can. Color theory, complements, discords, spice marks, white gouache on top with WC tints, etc. The masters used so many tricks that us mortals have to study to learn. Feel better!

    I had not known of August Macke, and I was so glad you introduced his art and a bit of his history to us. I love this expressionist style, and one has to wonder what other spectacular paintings he would have done had he not died so young. I'm also amazed at how with the use of certain colors you were able to capture such vibrancy in watercolor. By the way, I love the various shirts you wear - they crack me up. Thanks again.

What really surprised me was when you painted the dark line around the buildings, trees, road, etc. wow! It just popped! I have a student that does this with her paintings. I love it! It’s so unique and intriguing. I don’t know if I can paint an object without it’s shadow but I might “give it a go”. I also don’t use very bright colors.
