Hello.... i'm 37 years old and have grown up believing i can't draw/paint even a mango!! Till i stumbled upon watercolour painting about a month back. I tried your poppy field painting, and with your clear crisp instructions, was able to create something i was actually proud of. Much to improve, of course, but for now am so happy to have found your video/s

Wonderful! - so happy to help - keep in touch!
What a beautiful painting. My husband's family died in WWI and this is a beautiful tribute to those who lost their lives. Thank you.
Your painting made me feel as if I was there watching and admiring the field of poppies from a distance. Just beautiful and so realistic. 😊

I took a class at the Senior center a couple of years ago and fell in love with water color. It was a joy to see you doing things that I'm beginning to stumble on to on my own. But watching them done expertly is amazing. Thank you. I'll be back.

Thank you so much Paula! - I always love to read your comments!
Thank you for wonderful and thoughtful tutorial. It is so hard to find a tutorial with pleasant music that is not overpowering, and without speeded up sections that make viewers nauseated. What a pleasant positive experience. Gorgeous artwork. Very detailed explanations.
Hello, I am 73 years old and just found you and love your paintings and your amazing instructions how to paint, what to use, I am trying to learn watercolor, thank you Mr. Paul Clark. This poppy field will be mine first painting. Thank you
HOW BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I’ve only been painting for a short while and find that waiting for the art to dry makes it so much better. But it’s hard to wait, I love your art and as everybody says you make it look so easy. I’ve only been doing it for about a month or so and I need a lot of help
Beautiful painting. You were so thorough while talking through the process. Excellent.

Wow! Love this painting, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and skill and for talking us through it. I can't wait to try it!!! Just beautiful!
Thank you Paul, for this amazing series of tutorials. What a talent you truly have. Your explanations are so thorough. I've tried to paint in watercolours before and have never been happy with the result. However, I worked really hard on your beach hut scene this week and it's the first time ever that I have been pleased with the outcome. I particularly like the way that you repeat certain techniques (love the splat). Hoping to attend one of your workshops in person one day, when all of this COVID problem has gone away. Very best wishes, and keep this up please.

I learned long ago as a photog never put a drink near your developing chemicals or you might drink it by mistake...it can happen so easily. Now, that was a long time ago when I developed my own film. Nobody develops film much anymore b/c film is no longer used much; I only use digital images now & for many years ALL digital. Now, I use watercolors/acrylics but started w/ oils ... (takes too long to dry) but I like oils. Only using the former now though & I'm a beginner & it is fun. Thank You as always *Paul Clark*

Wonderful, I simply enjoyed watching that. I selected your poppy video to watch as your painting jumped out from the host of red poppies, I think I said ‘wow, look at that’! Thank you Paul, for sharing such a beautiful skill. Your narration is very informative and video editing is also perfect. I have many beautiful photos I’ve taken over time of poppy fields in landscapes and as a beginner to watercolour I’ve pondered how I can paint them. Your tutorial has been the key. I’d like to watch it several more times and then I’m very much looking forward to taking those tips onboard and applying them to my landscapes of red poppy fields. Paul, sincere thanks, Paul.

NOW I can really focus on painting in earnest. I do appreciate your tutorials and your lovely way of being.- I liked the nod to Erik Satie in the background music.
