Oh dear, I suspected he passed away. He was one of the first artists I followed when I started my painting journey. So charming with a great sense of humour. Yes, the carrot people and all the other tips. He lives on 😌

Ah so terribly sorry he’s left us to paint on our own especially as I’ve just found him…condolences to his family.

I'm delighted to have taken Frank's acrylic painting lesson. I'll be looking for more of his videos shortly. He was a remarkable man with an excellent sense of humor.

I painted in water colours for years. Then had to care for my wife for six years. Now I have time I wanted to try acrylics. This tutorial ranks as the best I have seen. Thank you for such for the clever and simple approach. I can now proceed with great confidence.

God bless you dear Frank Clarke , for all your wonderfully kind & interesting way you tell us how to paint people like little carrots!! How happy it makes me feel just to listen & watch how you make beautiful paintings xx please keep on doing your Magic !! Helen Kirrage xxx

This is brilliant! People that have been painting, for even over a year, forget just WHERE to start. I took a beginners ceramic course at a local art community program, and it was AWFUL! The teacher couldn't believe I didn't know anything and SHE was awful! I spent A LOT of money for the course and supplies and everyone knew each other and treated it as open studio time. I am not stupid, but you don't know what you don't know, until you do. I am experienced in acrylics and watercolor and I think this is brilliant. If you don't have small successes, you quit! Needless to say, I learned everything I needed to learn, on KZread, to be able to make clay prototypes and launch a food grade silicone mold business. NEVER be ashamed of where you're at! You will get better and teachers like this will allow us all to see the fantastic work of budding artists, who might have given up! Happy Painting!

I do paint a bit but I tune in especially to hear your voice🍀☘️. My Gr.Parents were from Dublin & spoke just like you. I enjoy listening to you & It’s very comforting. I loved them dearly❤️.

"This is a painting, it's not a photograph. If you want a photograph, take one." Love it. This was the best lesson I have ever watched.

At last I’ve found someone who starts from the very beginning, thanks I’ve subscribed in a flash

One of the best 👌 if not the best painting tutorials I've seen. So simple and fun. Starting from the very beginning, your step 🚶‍♀️ by step 🚶‍♂️ explanation guides us (complete beginners) slowly to what we never thought we could do before. Simply outstanding explanation 👏 👌 👍 🙌 Thanks Mr Frank Clark, you've got a friend in me... Loved it.

What a fantastic tutorial, and sense of humour, sad loss RIP Frank 🙏

You are the best teacher I have ever came across

Love you Frank Clarke. You make painting so much fun and you are so easy to follow. You are a treasure to acrylic painters everywhere.

I just came across this clip. I am a beginner and it is a bit diffult to find on KZread exactly this type of tutorial. Also, some other individuals talk a bit too much and lose my focus. This gentleman gets to the point and is pleasant to follow. thank you… I’ll keep exploring his Chanel and hope to learn to paint and stay motivated ! Thank you again for your dedication to help❤

You show how easy it is to do a simply painting... and enjoy and have fun..and give tips also...so encouraging

Have been painting (acrylic) for a few years but this is a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much for the brilliant ideas to get me started in a fresh way. We have an old stone bridge over a creek on our land and I've wanted to paint it but have been afraid I couldn't and never started! NOW I'm ready to paint the bridge. You have added a lightness to painted that is really needed. Thank you so very much. Whilst I paint--I will picture you doing it with me to help. I will also have my 12 year old granddaughter join me to watch this yet again to give her the gift of your genius way of simple painting. She is really gifted and will love all the ideas! Can hardly wait to show Vanessa!

Wonderful,what a lovely man.❤️❤️

What a gentle man, you are missed so much☘

I am 65 now and always wanted to paint. I got all the materials and they have been put away never touched. I wish to God I'd seen your videos long ago. I've finally got them out and made a start. The way you put things over is great. Many many thanks

Frank...you are a brilliant teacher....that is BRILLIANT

Frank this is awesome, i started painting from your tv shows, you dont realise that you taught me a lot. I would be set up ready to paint along with you, helped fight my depression and deal with chronic pain in my dominate hand neck and back, hubby recorded many on video tape for me. Unfortunately our home was partially flooded last year and lost many of the videos in which i treasured, And all my supplies. Hubby bought me everything you recommended. Well i lost all my paints, all my canvas and books and books of awesome paper, large portfolio that stored my large thick paper and many paint brushes, basically lost the lot. now i can watch here on you tube and restart when i can replace my supplies and when our house repairs from the flood are completed. It’s depressing having lost most things and i have to re select and re purchases what i had lost. Hopefully the inspiration may come back. You are brilliant. And thankyou.

today frank, after months of trying to learn ACRYLIC,i was about to give up as i'm 69,now i found your video i will keep going as this is brilliant and as you said no one will teach you how to start, this was fun and so excited to get my paints out again and learn from the best , outstanding explanation and the fear factor is gone. I’m so grateful to Your Tube that i can learn from incredible teacher in you frank, cheers

Oh my goodness just found Frank and I am a happy bunny indeed thank you so much you’re amazing

I love watching you! Thank you very, very much for these lessons. May all the “carrots” in your life be sweet and kind.

RIP Frank, you inspired so many people to start painting.

Just discovered this, best acrylic lessons I have watched, brilliant

Hi Frank niceto see you in youtube. I still have MY first PBS TV painting in it I learned the carrots trick, I am going to frame that paiting. Love old stuff GOOD memories.😁💜👍🇨🇦

Love Frank I will always remember him for inspiring me.such a wonderful teacher he was.r I p Frank.

I love this guy.. He actually "TEACHES". THANK YOU.

Frank Thank You. This comment is coming after many years but I had to write. I am a beginners of Acrylic painting and you showed me the starting point of how to draw people, houses, trees and many things. This will help me a great deal in the future. For me, it is a hobby I would like to pick up.

A man with character his face is so expressive. I could watch him for hours. I leaned how to make simple people. How nice. How I have wanted to put people in my work but did not know how. Now I know how.

I havent seen a painter like you sice collage and I am 80 this year thank you for sharing and i am going to try all that youve shown us hless you

Amazing... Best yet... Live the way you simplify painting... Wish I had found you sooner☘️👍As me Mother would say “Sure your Grand Now”☘️👍🎨🖼

Finally, an artist that starts with the very basic lessons. I love this! Frank you are charming and so much fun. Thank you for being you 🙂

Thank you so much I have never painted before but now I am retired I have time to try as I have always wanted but thought I had to be gifted so it’s so nice to have someone tell me that anyone can paint and show me step by step how so thank you so much I will enjoy myself with what you have shown me 😁👍

You make painting warm and fuzzy and easy. Thank you

It is wonderful to see a left-handed instructor and artist! The mountains and landscape, in general, starts from the right side and go left. So much better for a left-handed person to grasp. Thank you!

Well Frank, you made me smile with that great dialog.👍

One of the few teachers on KZread. Very kind of you.Very kind

I enjoyed this demonstration very much. There is freshness and simplicity and good heart.

Trapped at home home waiting c19 results and feeling yuck. But painting every day. I have only ever done Bob Ross tutorials however I only paint in acrylic. So thankful for Mr. Clarke!!! I'm gonna go paint this

Its interesting how he is using acrylics in a watercolour style. He may as well be using his watercolour paints though 🤣

Watched him for a long while-love his simplicity and the results! Thankfully, Terri S.

First class, Frank!

I'm so very glad I have found you Mr Clarke. Now I know I can finally learn how to have a go at painting and have fun. You are the best and I love your fabulous accent..xx

His cheerful ways belied a tragic personal life, including the demise of his dear wife, Peggy, in 2017, 'which put a stop to my gallop', as he said. But he was so popular that he was brought back to his once-a-year teaching engagement with the Chinese at his Beijing studio, and others that he had engagements with. Peggy can be briefly seen in one or two of his painting videos. RIP, Frank - one in a million and condolences to his family.

I want to think you for making all the painting instructional videos. It's taken me a long time to brave painting. I have so many things I want to paint and no clue how to get started. Like you mentioned, taking classes they already think you know what to do. I didn't want to waste any of the supplies, because they aren't cheap. Thank you Frank Clark for your videos.

At last, a video that gives you the basics. Thank you 😊 Funny too 😊

I am so grateful for being able to watch you paint. It is so helpful. I never took but a few classes and I’m ecstatic to be able to watch this introductory to painting.

OMG your funny. I am so happy I stumbled across you today. I only went and brought my paints yesterday and struggled so much. I didnt do very well. In 1 lesson you have helped me to understand it. I cant wait to get my paints out and replay this video. You did make me smile. :)

You are GOLD. I couldn't stop smiling from the moment he drew the first carrot. Amazing teacher.

Your personality is colorful and cheerful like your shirt. I’m so grateful to KZread that we can learn from incredible teachers like you who share their wealth and joy of painting, much respect for Sir Frank

Fantastic Maestro! Very good video. Finally we can learn the easy way. Thank you for helping us with our dreams. From Miami, Fl

You are an awesome painter a relative said I paint like a child 5years later still learning as much as I can I watched your videos all day an went out got some acrylic paints an brushes cud only find hog bristles which don't do what goat bristles do, I shall have so,e fun kk from new zealand

Just read about his passing. so sorry to hear that. Lord rest you Frank. You made so many people who were nervous about painting feel that I Can Do It.

Wonderful,what a lovely man.❤️❤️❤️

I a, 66 and have the paint and brushes and supplies. Have never tried because I was afraid I could not do it. Thank you so much I think I will try painting now

Best painting instructor EVER. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill, and especially your wonderful sense of humor!

I LOVE YOU, Mr. Clarke. You have awoken my interest in painting. Thank you!

I love your funny comments and your wonderful instructions! From Canada.

You are the best tutor ever. Love the simple techniques you teach for beginners like me. Watching you paint , makes me reach for my brushes and start practicing. Thank you so much. Love you.Xx

Thank you for doing these KZread videos. This is almost godsend to people like me who do not have the time for or access to art schools and teachers. God bless you!

You are so cute and funny! I am smiling through this whole tutorial. Best teacher I ever heard explaining how to paint. 100+ ! Thank you!

Frank, your lesson explained to me various things I was doing wrong and working a lot harder to achieve results! Thank you so much! Blessings to you.

Thank you, thank you. After about 3 yrs of art classes and still waiting to be shown how to draw people, you come along and in simple simple strokes show me how. Bless your darling heart. Have subscribed and look forward to more simple techniques.

Great teacher, this is what we need!!!

Blown away! I learned so much! Didn't know acrylic can be used as water color thanks

Thank you so much Frank. You are truly a gift when I didn't know what I needed. (Subscribed for sure). I'm just starting out. I can draw but I don't have much painting experience. Your carrots truly rocked my world! The only thing I will mention is never leave your brushes in water. NEVER! The water will soak into the them and loosen the glue on the bristles. Clean them and set them horizontal to dry.

A lovely, gentle delivery. His simplicity inspires confidence and a wish to do well.

My hair dryer has lived in my paint basket since I discovered "Simply Painting" years ago in a craft shop after having made a fool of myself in a watercoloring painting class. Now I have a brand new set of gouache, and you're going to be the reason for my success with them. You make sense -- and I love the brogue.

As Frank says Tutors in classes presume you have done it all before. Very offputting but thanks to Frank Clarke I am going to get out my Acrylics and Get Painting Thank you Only just found you and Times are awasting !!

I enjoyed watching you showing how effortless painting can be. Your teaching method is so simple & easy to understand. I'm glad I found you.

I love this man. I could listen to him for hours. I learned more here than from any of the other videos for beginner acrylic painting.

I am so glad I came across this video! What easy instructions. Thank's for sharing your talend.

I love how you teach. I was a Kindergarten teacher for a long time and I have just retired. Teaching small children how to draw was easy as long as you compared it to shapes. I want to learn how to paint and you make believe that I can. Thank you.

I can watch all day 😜

WOW!! thanks Frank for making painting look so easy. I've leant more in an hour with your video than 10 hours at an art studio. I am encouraged to keep on trying to master the art of painting landscapes, thanks to your simple, easy to follow lessons.

Watched this video-the carrot people are amazing. I’m a beginner acrylic artist and have been afraid to try to put people into my landscape. Ty ty ty!

I love the way you teach painting. You make me interested in learning more. I appreciate your work. Thank you very much. God bless you

Wow just think you are fab to be sure LOVE THE PICTURE and THE LITTLE BIRD paint I WILL THANK YOU SO MUCH for this LESSON AMAZING X

Frank is great and I'm from Dublin myself. He has the Irish sense of humour.

The best art teacher on the planet!

Love it!! This video gave me so much joy watching. It made me giggle out loud, to see how easy it is to learn. My husband tells me, it so good to hear you laugh. Art is a outlet that I’ve been needing in my life for a very long time you’ve made it possible for me to learn from the best. Thank you so much for allowing that to happen here on KZread. God Bless!

I've used your method for many years now in teaching others how to paint and have always acknowledged you as my inspiration. Thank you Frank...

You have a gift for teaching! Thank you so much, Frank!

You are a wonderful teacher, the joy that you give by teaching us to paint is immeasurable. You can tell you enjoy painting and it comes thru in every one of your classes. Thank you so much for this gift of teaching us to paint

I shared this with all my friends. wonderful instructor.

Uncle Frank you are my best finding in a very long time. Thanks a lot. I just love your style!!!

I am watching this for the 2nd time! I went off after the first and added some people and a cottage to the painting I was working on. I'm very new to painting and learnt more from this one video than all the others combined. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us and teaching how we can enjoy it too. God bless.

Hi! You are too good a teacher, starting with very basic that make me feel 'yes, even I can'. Thanks and looking for more episodes.

I LOVE that you start at the basics and move on from there!! I was an oil artist and will still paint with oil and water soluable oil as well as acrylic and watercolor! You have shown me things in watercolor and oil that I didn't know. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you SO much, i haven't enjoyed myself so much in ages!

You are a wonderful instructor. Thank you for your videos.

I love love LOVE the way that you paint and show how to paint.

Forever thanks Frank. I just keep coming back to you to “get it” ... Simply the best...yes, you keep it simple and it is the awesome best. Saint Frank of the beginners

I absoultely loved it.. Amazing reference of carrots, genuine heart for teaching and fun jokes lol thanks I have learned alot tody.

The BEST teacher I have EVER seen! I’m off to town to buy myself some acrylic paint! Thank you kind sir..I’m inspired! I think I can do this!

SO agree! I recently found Frank amidst the plethora of Watercolor Tutorials & "Teachers". What a find! Many other Teachers don't truly "instruct" or "teach" specifics. I now try to watch a Frank video everyday (Watercolors OR Acrylics as both are similar). My goal is to pick up just ONE new "tip" to add to my Painting Notebook. I combine small paint details with written notes - its so helpful as I find myself using it constantly to refresh a "tip". I am SO surprised myself watching my results improve. I think he is a GIFTED Teacher. The "Carrot" instruction alone was worth its weight in Gold - Hope you found that one!

This man is so incredible ☺️

Frank, thank you for your lesson. I love landscapes and I do have trouble at times. I love your lessons. This is so great.

You are a superb artist, and make \the whole thing a pleasure and inspiration for all to watch, and learn.Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us, who love painting.robert

You are now my go to artist for tips on acrylic painting many thanks

I literally watched 3 videos before i got to this one and learned how great the artists where. But Thank you Mr. Clarke teaching the basics. Making it fun and understandable. I won’t forget “making carrots”.
