I find your tutorials immensely valuable because you use a few colors to achieve a painting that is beautiful and harmonious. When I started watercolor painting in 2019, I thought I had to buy a lot of paints and have a huge palette. I ended up being confused and panicked every time I would attempt a painting. Not only that, I would spend a lot of money on paints. After watching your videos 3 years ago and reading your book, I understood that it’s not about having every single shade of green or blue. Indeed, I began to experiment with the 3 primary colors (as you recommend in one of your tutorials), and mix my greens, browns, purples. I began to understand how to warm up and cool down parts of my paintings, create shadows (warm and cool), and use contrast where I needed it. Beginning watercolor painters err by buying too many paints and trying to use all of them. I noticed recently that the price of watercolor tube paints has gone up a lot! Inflation.The price of watercolor paper, never cheap even 5 years ago, is also quite crazy now. So being able to paint well with a few colors is a great skill for us to learn, especially when we have to spend money on watercolor paper too. A lot of people are on a tight budget. Thank you so much for your tutorials and your advice.

Wonderful Watercolor Wednesday. Thank you fir sharing the beautiful visual from your cycling trip and the awesome video.

Wonderful painting! Wonderful bike tour! 87 miles?!?! Wow!!! I’m lucky to get 87 steps a day. Lol. J/k 😂 (kinda) Now that my coffee is gone and I’ve watched your video it’s time for me to start packing for my trip. I’ll be setting up a booth to sell my art in Orlando Florida this weekend. 🖼️🌴 Pray for me! 🙏🏻Lol. I’ll be talking and standing a lot! Lol It’ll be fun! I’ll be selling the fox painting from your tutorial. I’ll let you know if it sells. 🦊 and I always let people know that I learned to paint from your videos. I’ve tried tutorials from others and I don’t get the same level of accuracy as I do when I follow yours. You have a gift of explaining what you are doing along with creating fabulous scenes for us to paint. ❤The perfect channel on KZfaq! Thank you for this video today and I hope you have a blessed week. 😊

80 odd miles does not sound leisurely to me! 😁 fabulous painting! Can’t wait to have a go. Thanks so much!

Oh my, you are painting my ex-partners parents house! Just through the carriageway to their back door, and the front of their house and garden! It's a long time ago, now - 20 years ago and the houses weren't painted blue then! Lovely trip down memory lane for me. Bryan and Jennie Rogers were their names.

Ahhh yes!!!!! My favorite day of the week, my favorite subject to paint and my favorite teacher ……Good Morning Paul , so nice to have you back in the studio , sorry it’s so hot ! It gets pretty miserably hot in my parts, our hottest day so far on record 120° ! Thank you Paul for another beautiful well thought out tutorial , I love everything about it and can’t wait to get started ! If you haven’t been told , You are the best watercolor teacher out there, easy to follow and always a bit of history!!! Blessings to you and Margot ❤

Great tutorial... you were right on my doorstep!!! And the pub you stopped at and this painting is next to, is managed by my step son... Great location and fabulous for photographers and painters alike. Thank you for this tutorial... I'd better give it a go 😂

I can hardly wait for wednesday’s videos! Thank you!

There’s something magical in watching your paintings emerge🖼🎨🖌️‼️. Thank you for sharing 🧑‍🎨

I also love your humour and your stories and extra info.😊

Dear Mr. Clark, I am a retired Korean diplomat. I started to learn water color painting since last April. I watched your KZfaq by chance and now am fond very very very of watching it. Thank you very much for your wonderful guide. By the way I lived in Surbiton, South West London from 2004- 2006, and my family cherishes the lovely memory of U.K.

Beautiful work, Paul. You have extraordinary talent and we all thank you for sharing it with us.

Fantastic as usual. I am a "beginning" artist and I learned so much from you. Thank you again for all the tutorials. I look forward to "Watercolor Wednesday".

I'm in awe watching you bring this lovely painting to life. You show me anything is possible to paint, I would have never attempted anything so complex but now I will look at the world with new vision. Thank you ❤

Love this, Paul. Your foregrounds are always fabulous, but this one with the drooping seaweed - great touch!

This has to be up there in my top ten favourites of your watercolour Wednesday. What took you 3 hours to paint this amazing piece of work would probably take me 3 days ! Great job. 😊👍

Looks like you had an enjoyable cycling holiday, I must try it sometime. Your painting reminds me of the style and content of Andrew Pitt, a Suffolk artist. Thanks for sharing.

Great class! Beautiful video and music! Thanks a lot!

Wow! The countrysides are so lovely and so glad you had a wonderful time cycling. You looked great too. Thank you for this realistic looking painting and also for telling us your experiences you had while cycling. And by the way it is hot here where I am also.

So lovely to create memories from your trips by painting them. There is something dreamy about boats. Another great tutorial, Mr C. Thank you.

Thank you - that's an inspired (and inspiring) one! Greetings from Italy.

I love how this detailed painting still feels loose and fresh!

Super painting, you certainly showed Suffolk to its best. Nice work on the foreground, well recovered 😊

I thought that looked like Pin MIll in the thumbnail - my neck of the woods! My old boss used to have a boat mooring at Woolverstone. So many picturesque views, it must have been hard choosing.

You are amazing Paul! you make it look so easy but this one is complicated! Beautiful picture and thanks for sharing this lovely tutorial 😍

Lovely. One of your best! The seaweed coming off that line at the end looks great. What I like to do with that kind of thing is just put a thick dollop of paint at the top then smudge it down with my finger. It's a similar result but a lot more fun and you get those frayed edges. Thanks for sharing!

Brilliant! One of my favorites of yours, and I'm a girlie gal who is not given to painting boats and such, but watching you make this scene come to life was so instructional and so enjoyable.

I do love painting a good boat, living near the Stroudwater canal gives me plenty of opportunity 😊, beautiful painting as always, thank you 😊

It's lovely. I am going to try it. The challenge will be to replicate the striking three dimensional effects of your boats. Thank you for another great tutorial. Andy

Beautiful, love all your work. So very precise and well done! ❤

Love watching your tutorials and listening to the excellent music choices, thank you 😊

Glad you had a nice bike trip. Beautiful painting. Enjoy your next trip, and I hope you have great weather. Thanks.

Good job. Full of points and informative 👌. Thanks again. Farzad from south of Iran

By gum Paul an absolute gem thanks for sharing

truly fascinating to watch how the painting develops with the blending colours you use, its beautifully done as always, another great painting Paul. 💙

Hi Paul, Excellent tutorial! I'm excited about painting. Hope you had good weather on your Bike day. I think last time you and your friends went it had rained. Take care

You do make it look easy! I appreciate filming a portion in real time as it is helpful to me. I sometimes think I paint too slowly…which I probably do. But watching you use to rigger in real time was very instructive. Thanks so much, glad you had a good trip biking.😎

Wow this is exceptional and will be a real challenge, but one I'm looking forward to.Thank you so much for this beautiful image and tutorial.

wow! this is definitely one of my favorites that you've painted recently

Woowww. This is superb. By just looking i already know which part of this painting tutorial i am going to blunder the most😂.. But i will give this a go soon Mr Paul. Big thank you to you for the lesson.

Gorgeous Paul. Suffolk is a stunning county...I might be biased now I live there..lol

Thank you Paul for yet another awesome tutorial ❤

My Wednesdays are filled with thrill and watercolor lessons as you throw back those admirable paintings. Thanking you wholeheartedly!😊

Beautiful painting and a nice tutorial Thanks

Thanks for sharing your talent with us! Out of my league but love to watch you paint.

I am in awe!!

Love these videos! I feel like none of your paintings ever have the “ugly stage” that so many watercolors especially, have. I’m constantly trying to improve my paintings and watching these videos always helps inspire and teach! 👏🏻🙏🏻❤️

Good morning ☕🍩🍬🥟dear Paul! Glad to see you again in your studio after the cycling tour 🚴🚴🚵🚵, healthy🤸💪 and safe! Thank you for the video and all the best to you dear Paul! P.S. And now an army joke: Two recruits ask a sergeant - Can I watch TV? Sergeant - you can, look, but don’t turn it on!🤣🤣🤣🤣So, dear Paul, there is strength, but no intellect!🤔🤔🤔😲😒😮😣☝️😥 I like 👍 and bye...bye...🖼️🖼️🖼️ 🎨🎨🎨🖌️✏️📝❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋

Sometimes your painting just blows me away… living in a sea town, we have several boat yards and I have dozens of photos. I guess I need to break them out and do something… thanks as always, my friend. Jim - Fernandina Beach, Florida.

Wed 13th 11:35 am Love this beautiful work. It was nice to see you and your friends having such a wonderful time. My husband and I just Purchased recumbent trikes this summer and have enjoyed our beautiful trails near our home. So many beautiful areas to paint near us.

Lovely Suffolk! Beautiful study! You bikers out on the trail was good too! XXX

Wonderful composition painted so well….nice to see some of the Suffolk countryside 🙂🇨🇦

I love trying to guess what part of the picture you will paint next. I'm usually wrong but it's fun anyway.

Very nice ! Thank you very much ! 😊

Ah yes! Beautiful Suffolk and all those gorgeous little hidden pathways and river walks (or cycle paths) Lovely painting and it really captures the essence of this stunning area.

Hello, Handsome. I hope your trip was wonderful. Thanks for this!! I missed it yesterday!!!

Paul, this is another great tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent. 😘

Again another total sensory experience Paul. You can smell the estuarine salt and hear the full marine chorus. It reminds me of my days as a yachtie's 'Moll'. Now I'm happy to paint boats on the Tamar River. That's Tamar Tasmania. Not Tamar Cornwall. Many thanks for a shipload of memories.

Wow, an absolutely fantastic tutorial. And thanks for the pencil sketch , Just can't imagine drawing this one . The scene seemed so cluttered but you brought out the beauty with your brushstrokes. Such a talent and thanks for being so generous and guiding us novices. 😊

Fabulous as always

Wow! Just W0w! I love this so much! Thank you Paul!

Good morning! So excited to watch this! Gotta get my cup of coffee first, send my hubby off to work and then I’ll watch it. ❤️☕️

love the way your colors and marks speak about your subjects wonderful time spent being here !!! thank you!

Great work and tutorial, Paul! Good job on the 80+ bike ride!

Very beautiful painting today!! Beautiful detail...it's hard to find videos of this caliber....love it!!

Lovely. I wonder if you might consider doing a video on highlighting... what you choose to highlight and what not.

You work is wonderful thank you for teaching and sharing your talent ❤ Please can you make more of ur amazing job painting cactus 🌵 desert 🏜️ plants etc, ❤️

Wow you are so talented, it's a beautiful experience to watch you in action!

Cheers from Australia,, Paul. Thankyou for sharing your talent although that beer didn’t look very cold! 😉 Enjoy your painting retreat.

Thanks again for a lovely textured scene from your journey through Suffolk. Cheers 🍻 Mr. Clark.

Amazing, wonderful painting

The salt in the foreground worked so well, then building the depth and detail - brilliant. Gave the painting a real atmosphere and drama

I get thirsty just watching. Stunning.,😂👍

Perfect ❤🎉

Thank you for the inspiration. Now that gardening season is done, I will be going back to painting. I live in a boating area. This tutorial will help me get back into the groove of painting in the winter time. Thanks Paul, love the channel, love your style! I hope you and your family are doing well. ❤

Your sharing is so good. Beautiful painting ! Love it's .❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you Paul for the tide info. It's always interesting to hear about different "neck of the woods".

Love it Paul stay cool my friend😊

Fantastic ❤. Thank you AGAIN. Could you please do an Alaska coastline with boats?

Fantastic, I must say I like the format of your tutorials and although I paint using Acrylic rather than watercolour I manage to get good results.

as always fun to watch and so much to learn, in a nonformal, nonstrict, casual chatty way. keep this wonderful work going for as long as possible.

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much.

Another beautiful painting! Love Wednesdays. Look forward to your videos. You never fail to inspire. Thanks for sharing!

Lots of details on this one!!! You created a beautiful scene once again! Thank you Paul!!! Enjoyed the bicycle touring photos! Just love the Biltmore... enjoy the cooler weather and trip! A California Gramma ❤

Good afternoon, dear Paul! Thank you for this great tutorial and the possibility to see beautiful places far from our homes through your eyes and videos, this time Suffolk. Real pleasure to watch your strokes, color mixing and techniques to have a nice output. Enjoy your day. Greetings from Moldova. Lilia

For me, one of your best!!! Thanks for sharing your art

I get so much enjoyment from your channel. Having the drawings gives me confidence to try and paint and follow your work. Thanks from New Zealand

nice painting as always thank u🌹

Bellissimo ,come tutti i tuoi dipinti.

Absolutely love this Paul and yes, up until yesterday we have been 'suffering' a shocking heatwave in Ireland too. The hottest country in the world is Mali in Africa which is mostly covered by the Sahara Desert with an average annual temp of 28.8 degrees and we made it up to 28 for two days before the weather cooled down today. My too wee doggies have lost the will to live 🤣 Suffolk looks so beautiful. Thanks so much for the pencil drawings - I would never manage this one without them. You're looking great!!!

bonsoir Paul, wahou quel travail bravo. il me parait difficile mais je vais essayer et surtout prendre du plaisir. 🙂🎨.Merci

I get lost watching you paint. You're brilliant!

Thank you for pressing on in the heat! I must say you were looking a little dewy at the end.😂 But the painting is, as usual, so very good! LOVE it!

What a gold mine of painting subjects! It makes me downright salivate. Your paint strokes are very confident and you seem to use a minimal number of strokes. This makes your painting very clean and fresh. A fun thing to strive for in watercolor. Really enjoyed this demo. .

Wow! Beautiful work!

Bringing out the anchor gave the painting a "story"of today and yesterday's. What a difference. Luv it

Thank you! Fabulous tutorial. Glad you had a fun holiday. ❤

I’m not even a painter, but I do drink beer. And this was inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

One of your best paintings, Paul, so well-detailed and atmospheric! As always, thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and knowledge with all of us.

I absolutely love watching you paint. This one I think is my favourite so far. Looking at the photo I would never even think of trying it but you transformed it into something beautiful, interesting, serene yet full of life all at the same time. Brilliant
