Good afternoon, dear Paul! Feeling like all your followers and those who leave a comment below your videos are already a BIG Clark family! We all are waiting for these magic Wednesdays for a good dose of art, learning and enjoying 25 mins of turning the white paper into a Masterpiece. Thank you for a great tutorial as always! Greetings from Moldova. Lilia Birnaz 🖌☀🎨

Good afternoon dear Paul! I’m very glad to see you again, as always, on Wednesday in the watercolor studio! I would like to see a video on how to correctly draw underwater pebbles, small stones and boulders of a mountain stream or mountain river under water, so that it looks natural. Now I have a lot of work and sometimes they order me paintings with mountain landscapes. I really hope that such a video will appear with us soon. Thank you Paul for today’s lesson and I wish you all the best, good luck and health! I like 👍 and say goodbye until next Wednesday! Bye.. .bye...♥️♥️♥️🖐️😊🖼️🎨👏👏👏💖💖💖👍👍👍I'm glad that you are now recovering from the operation, and you look very cheerful and in a good mood. Sorry Paul, I kept thinking and wondering - why didn't you answer anyone in the last lesson? But now you're OK now and that makes me happy .P.S.What beautiful pelicans!

A Pelican Poem for one of my favorite watercolor mentors! Well, actually it's a limerick, if anyone remembers when limericks were recited. When I was a girl, my brothers and I loved this one, and we giggled when we recited it because we thought it was quite wicked to say some of the words. Of course, we didn't dare recite it around our grandmother, who would have probably washed our mouths out with soap.😀 A wondrous bird is the Pelican. His beak can hold more than his belly can. He can hold in his beak Enough food for a week, But I'm d*amned if I know how the h*elican. See ... after all these years I still have to clean the words up. It's all so innocent compared to what today's young ones sometimes say! 😉 Wishing you well in your recovery and pleasant times on your retreat.

Good Morning, Paul!! Oh! I was a little worried about you. Best recovery for you!!!! This painting, as always, is really beautiful. Have fun on the trip and hello to dear Margot. :))

Dear Paul, thank you for teaching me to watercolor! I have painted 80% of your tutorials and they have taught me soo much. I wish I knew how to send you some pictures of my paintings so you could see what painting with Paul Clark has helped me to do! Thank you for sharing your drawings and teaching these weekly lessons! I think you are amazing! Helen in Utah, USA

Have to watch and paint later. Please take good care of yourself, Paul.

Love these birds ❤ thank you for the tutorial. Can’t wait to try it. Used to be I’d say “omg no way could I do that!” But now after watching and learning from you,Paul, I’m so much more confident and adventurous. Thank you for being my teacher and for putting so much in to these amazing videos. Wishing you a quick and full recovery. Have a lovely working holiday.

Good morning Paul so glad you’re feeling better. I’m a bit selfish to say my Wednesday morning would not be the same without seeing your videos❤! I love this composition of the pelicans. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent!

Best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery. Thank you for continuing to teach and inspire us. The cropped photo became a beautiful painting through your eyes and paintbrush!

So glad to see you recovering well Thank you for this lovely tutorial. The glistening water and the wood plank are too beautiful

So pleased you're making a good recovery, Mr. C. Lovely painting & gorgeous colours. The wooden pier looks so realistic. Thank you for sharing.

Good morning and thank you so much for your time! Safe travels and good health to you!! I really enjoyed this process - I find "planning" is so key to painting - where to start, and where to go next - a puzzle for the brain!! Sometimes it can be daunting, but maybe that comes with time and continued painting. Love the washes on the pelicans creating the layers of feathers and the misty background. Amazing how you get the pier or dock to come to life!! Thank you again and enjoy the Canary Islands and take in some gorgeous sunsets with Margot!! :0)

First and foremost- wishing you a speedy recovery and I hope you are feeling better! Just a beautiful painting and I can’t wait to have a go at it! Thank you for bringing color into our lives!

"Like" Love love all your paintings and that you are such an excellent teacher, painter and comedian! I am a Pelican now! I am so glad your surgery went well you look very very healthy and I'm sure thousands of your fans including me don't want anything bad to happen to you! Have a safe trip and lots of fun! 🥰

Hello Paul, Glad you are recovering from your surgery. It's commendable that inspite of the surgery , you still took time to make this video. 🎉🎉🎉.. your voice though was sounding tired , as if losing energy. .. hope you are not straining yourself. Please take care 💖 Loved your tutorial as always. In particular the amazing shadow work on the deck to give it the 3D effect as well the posts and Pelicans looking soooo real. 💯 Love all of it. Will definetly try. Probably first in portions to practice the beautiful shading. Have a wonderful time at the retreat. Looking forward to more lovely tutorials upon your return. A big Hi to Margo. 💖 Ciao for now. 💖💖💖

Love it! I think I will give this a go. I hope that you will recover quickly for your surgery, and will wait anxiously for the next tutorial, in 2 weeks!!! Thank you for sharing all your techniques, tricks and wisdom, I never miss an episode. Cheers!

Good morning Paul, I hope you are healing up well ! These Pelicans are beautiful! Thank you , This is another amazing tutorial and very appreciated, I can’t find anyone that teaches quite like you! Thank you ! Many Blessings to you and Margot and may God continue to bless you in good health and finances! Have fun in La Gomera , I’m hoping next year I can finally meet you and Margot there !😂

Thank you very much, Paul. It´s an amazing video, THANKS 😊 I am very happy you are better.

Awesome painting as always! And that tee shirt.....I can't even😅😅😅

Wonderful tutorial! I hope you are doing much better and will soon be joining Margot in paradise! You definitely deserve a break and we have over 100 tutorials to choose from while you take a few weeks off. Thank you so much for this one!!

Glad to see you are feeling better. A bit of trivia, from Door County Today web page: "A group of pelicans is called a pod. Actually, there are many other names for pelican groupings - a pouch, a scoop, a squadron or if they are fishing as a group, a fleet." Didn't know that. Lovely painting.

Hi Paul, greetings from the USA! This is one of my favorite paintings as I am partial to birds! Thank you for all the wonderful tutorials - I learn so much from them, and love seeing everyone's posts of their works as well. I know the videos are not all 'real time' but I find myself rushing to try to mirror what appears to be speedy painting often with less than satisfactory results. I need to slow down! I can't wait to try this one of the pelicans! I am sending wishes for a speedy recovery and safe trip to La Gomera. Regards!

Hi Paul sorry to hear you have been having a problem but you look like you are recovering well and the sunshine will do you the world of good. I look forward to your tutorials of your visit on your return. Best wishes Judy ( one of your friends/pupils from Powder Mills)

WHO knew we were going to the Florida Everglades this week? Another fabulous painting chocked filled with paint tips and tricks. Love it! Take care Paul. Enjoy your time in the Canary Islands and we will miss you indeed.

Thank you Paul - really looking forward to painting this one - reminds me of Florida :). Excited to try the techniques for sparkling water and wood dock. Wishing you a speedy recovery and safe travels for your classes in La Gomera. See you in a couple weeks - cheers!

Thanks again for the lovely tutorial, Paul!! 🙏🏻 I hope the next two weeks will go smoothly for you; I will have to re-watch more of your tutorials while you are away.

Hello from Vancouver Washington! Paul, glad you are doing well! Your pelicans are lovely. I appreciate you so much. Your book and tutorials have taught me so much. You're a wonderful teacher and love your style.

Enjoy the retreat. I'm happy you are well and that your surgery was a successful recovery. Still respect the healing process no matter. I love this subject and the portrait format. I'll definitely give it a go and look forward to seeing your retreat inspirations. It's always fun!

Get well soon Paul 🌸 thx for the tutorial 🙏

I follow many watercolor YT channels and I love them all, but your channel has a unique charm, not sure why maybe due to the friendly introduction, or the commentary during the painting process or maybe due to something else...I admire your channel and your paintings ❤

Brilliant,really enjoyed it,I learned so much from you painting the shadows,it was like magic how it transformed. Have a speedy recovery and a good trip to the sun 😊

Thanks for another great tutorial, Paul. Enjoy your stay in the Canary Islands, probably the best place for the quicket recovery after your surgery. Take care.

Beautiful painting. I hope your surgery wasn't anything serious. I will send you healing energy. Have an excellent healing trip.

Thanks so much, Paul! I've always enjoyed watching pelicans and but I enjoyed even more watching you paint them. Best wishes for your recovery!

Wow! Lovely! Hope you are keeping well🌹thank you for this beautiful tutorial

Safe travels and hoping that you can rest and recover quickly in lovely La Gomera. Thank you for another great tutorial!

Hi Paul, if I can Paul, the painting is awesome as always. The water looks real good pelicans. Look real good but I guess even bob ross needs of vacation

Lovely painting and so well explained thank you. Have a relaxing break and come back fit and well🌞

had to laugh ... here, north of New Orleans on the lakefront was a few Pelicans this morning!!! I took a couple great shots with my cell phone ... wish I could share them here .... they are the Louisiana state bird .... so your podcast is eerily timely LOL

Hi Paul. Hope you're well and praying you will have a speedy recovery. This painting is so wondrous. Love the bright colors and the background. The birds( pelicans) are incredible. Thank you so much and hoping you will have a great time on your trip to La Gomera.

Very beautiful. For past few days, cattle egrets that were seen mostly on the ground in the open spaces around, have been roosting on trees, lampposts and even rooftops. I have been wanting to paint the scenes but didn't know how. Maybe I can make an attempt now😊 Thank you for the tutorial.

Lovely! Hope your recovery is quick and complete

I’m so glad to see you up and at it. I had wondered if you were feeling well enough! This picture is a beautiful post for a come back for your health! Thank you!

Very beautiful as always!! Great job!! Love it❤

Thank you very much for these beautiful birds. I miss your weekly videos which are a great help to me as I take my first steps in painting. Would you consider to show us how to paint gorgeous rocks under water ? I whish you good health and happiness

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. So beautiful and lively. Get well fast and enjoy your retreat.

My favorite part of Wednesday! 😊

Glad you are ok and up and about. This is a great tutorial. As we will miss the next two weeks I will try to put it to good use and actually do some of these paintings!! Enjoy your time away and take care of yourself.😊

Happy New Year Paul 🥰 another wonderful painting I can't wait to give this a go 🤩 keep up with the great work 👍

Thank you for this tutorial. So nice. Best of health to you!

Love the sparkling water. I admit that in the beginning I thought it looked strange. But with a few touches here and there, it adds such a unique effect to the water. Great technique. Thanks.

Good day Paul. You deserve time to rest and refresh since you do so much for us all. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I just love watching objects become two dimensional as you go. A wonder to watch. All the best

When you said, "while the water is still wet," I had to chuckle!

Love this one, Paul, and will surely give it a go. Glad to see you're recovering well and can join your guests in La Gomera. Enjoy your trip!

Hope you are feeling better! Please take good care of yourself.

Thank you for another beautiful tutorial. Take care of yourself and enjoy La Gomera when you join the gang.

brilliant techniques once again Paul, detail is fabulous love it 💙

Great tutorial. I really appreciated getting to see how you use your paint pallet, too. I like to see how you mix paint. Best wishes for a quick recovery, too.

So great to see your smiling face and hear your ever cheerful voice!!!! So happy things are going well post op. Thanks for carrying on. Safe travels to La Gom. Cheers!

Ohh so glad you’re doing better & are able to head out to the painting retreat soon. Margot has been doing a fantastic job with holding down the teaching there! This is definitely a wonderful fun looking painting to give a go. I might be able to get caught up on some of the past tutorials that I have been wanting to do with the 2 weeks break then. Life has been crazy busy here lately like there. This one combines some of my favorites subjects birds, water, & textured wood! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. Continue prayers for good health & safe travels for you & Margo!

Happy you’re on the road to recovery. This is a wonderful tutorial. Hope to give this a try. Thank you. Enjoy your holiday!!!

Great demo as always! Good health and have a great time in the Canary Islands!

2:50pm been watching and learning from your videos a long time. This was one of my favorites. Thank you for inspiring me to switch from acrylics to learn watercolor. You are a wonderful teacher.

Very glad you're on the mend. The water sparkles inspired me to attempt this effect. It's 20⁰f here and I'm missing the beach, birds and warmer temps. Thanks for another helpful tutorial!

Thank you Paul for this lovely tutorial, and take care with your health. Wishing you a wonderful painting retreat, Keep well. This is such a beautiful picture

Hello Paul, contente de vous voir en pleine forme. Merci pour ce beau tuto. Bon voyage à vous, à bientôt👋

Very nice one!!! Thank you! We are all waiting for you, the sangria is ready too!!!

Lovely tutorial and painting as usual. Love your t-shirt!! I hope you have a speedy recovery and feel as good as new soon.

Genial ! I specially like the texture of wood . Thank you Paul 😊

I love your pelican painting. I love anything nautical. I would like to add that I have gotten different tools you use. (i.e. magic scalpel, credit card, gouche)My favorite tool I have is my rigger. I had to have one since you usually paint with one. I absolutely love the details you can get with it. I have used liner paintbrushes but they don't seem to do the trick. Thanks for all the expertise you share with us.

Such a beautiful painting, thanks for sharing the tutorial with us! Take care and have a great trip! 🙂

Really love this. I reciently watched "Jonathan Livington Seagull "and I appreciate this scene. So beautiful with lots to earn . Thanks

Excellent lesson. really ready to start this one. Have a great time on your painting holiday. Looking forward to what they paint this time. Sherry

I love the split screen with mixing the colours

You are a master my friend! I can't wait to try this! Enjoy your vacation and hope you heal up soon!

Great little painting! Have a wonderful painting vacation!

Love the layering and the depth of the dock. Just what I've been looking for to use with some of my plein air. Thanks!!!

Really great painting. I'm going to try and not to be a Pelicancan't but that decking looked tricky! Liz

Praying you still continue a healthy recovery thank you for everything

Stunning as usual. Hope you are well on your way to healing.🙏🏻

Take care Paul glad op went OK. I love the pelicans they remind me of Florida holidays

Enjoy your change of scenery, safe journey and Thankyou for yet another lovely demonstration! ❤ XXX

Thank you again Paul, enjoy your “holiday”

Paul, don't worry about responding to this. Hope you're taking ample time to recover and take care of yourself. Health and well-being is #1. Thank you for another wonderful video

I loved the brilliantness of the colours and details in this painting!! I visit my local lough shoreline park and see a similar view quite often but my birds are seagulls not pelicans!! Thank you for another inspiring paint.🎨👨‍🎨 Keep well 👍😊

Thanks for another great tutorial…it was good to see how you used your pallet as well. Glad you seem to be recovering well.
