I really love the layered look, and so appreciate your tutorial, including how to make the people....brilliant! However, when i tried this, it became a mess. I struggle with how wet to get the paper, and tried making a similar color for the clouds and it didn't come out as I thought.... So, I will keep trying! And thanks to your tutorials, I'm hoping to get better as time goes by. I just started a couple of weeks ago, so I have to work at it, and be patient! :) Thank you!

@KarenRiceArt 4 года назад

Hi Deena, well done for having a go! You have to start somewhere so keep practicing!! Just a note about wetting the paper. Wet it a few times over and over to make sure the water soaks through the paper, mix your colours mixed beforehand or the paper will dry out. Paint on the paper when it has a sheen, not a puddle. Saunders Waterford is a great paper because it stays damp for longer. Hope this helps :)

@marycaciamasser3814 4 года назад

I’ve just discovered your channel and am loving and learning so much. I’ve been working w acrylics and gouache and now want to learn about watercolor. Two questions- how do you keep your paper from rumpling? I’ve been using a cold pressed watercolor block and still it rumples. When you paint people how do you paint women?

@KarenRiceArt 4 года назад

Thank you for your question Mary and comment so glad that you like the channel! To answer your two questions, firstly I use a watercolour block 300 g, either Winsor and Newton or Arches, as I find they don’t buckle as much. Your second question, is a much longer answer… So I might do a video on the subject. However, if you are painting small people, either men or women, the proportions will be the same… Possibly the clothes, hair and accessories would be different. Hope this was helpful hope this was helpful? Happy painting :-)

Hello! I liked the way you explained. It makes it easy to follow, step by step. Not all you tubers go into such minor details. Can you please tell me what kind of paintings are best for rough textured water colour paper ? I followed your another landscape tutorial, in which you haven't used rough paper.

@KarenRiceArt 4 года назад

Thank you so much for your comment so pleased that you found the tutorial easy to follow with lots of details. Rough paper is very textured so I would suggest painting a very textured rough to rain, landscape or seascape. What are you don't want to do is try to paint a very detailed painting. Are usually use rough or a not surface for my landscapes or seascapes. Hope this is helpful happy painting :-)
