I'm new to watercolor and I really love how you explain what you're doing and why you're doing it, each step of the way. Very helpful 👍

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Thank you so much!

@sshelton4611 Год назад

Thank you so much for sharing your talent and knowledge with those of us just trying to learn watercolor. You are such a good teacher.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Thank you so much 😀

@johndoh539 Год назад

This is exactly the watercolour site I need as I am brand new to it, and I cannot draw and cannot paint 😂So I think you have your work cut out with me ! I think I have already spotted my first mistake, not letting the paint dry properly between stages so I end up with a muddy mess and no contrast. What paper do you recommend for an absolute novice. Thanks. Love the site

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

So pleased you found this helpful. I would recommend 100% cotton 300gsm paper 😀

@megmoore8108 Год назад

This tutorial gave so much information on techniques, paint mixing, control and fixing mistakes. I know I'll be watching this video many times and practicing alongside 😊 THANK YOU!

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Thank you so much Meg! Really pleased you found this helpful 😊

@CastleMc Год назад

These are great, because the compositions are so simple but your execution is full of techniques and color mixing. I've been using watercolors for about 9 months+ I feel these reinforce some essentials and basics like keeping my brush loaded and get me off to a good start for the new year.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Thank you very much!

@susanhorne2143 Год назад

I stopped breathing whilst watching you so, that made me laugh. Thank you so much. I needed those few tips. You're a star. ⭐🌟⭐

@gretelstonebridge2323 Год назад

So useful for me as I just jumped in a year ago and have learned from mistakes. I'm going to paint these to embed techniques. Besides they are lovely!

@juliewolk 10 месяцев назад

Newbie question (or video request!) I'm struggling to work with my palette the right way. Do you clean off your brush before dipping it into every new color? Do you clean your wells after every session? I guess my question is about how to deal with the paint and the wells. When you show your palettes across your videos, some wells look like you don't clean them and some do. Thanks!

@KarenRiceArt 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for your questions. You should rinse your brush before dipping it into a new colour. I would clean your palette after every session. I would also clean a well in palette if you need to paint a completely different colour.

@DS40764 Год назад

Thank you. I really loved your tutorials/ subjects and pleased you used different techniques. So nicely done and easy. But, maybe I'm wrong, but I don't believe the land will absorb, as much of the light, as water does , when its dark. So I believe the light reflection, on the closest land should be in a darker value (palm rendition). I can't wait to do more of your tutorials, and like that you teach values so much-it's an aspect that I'm working on (color and values).

@barbarabachner4078 Год назад

So glad you mentioned that because it was on my mind too, but I didn't know how to say it.

@CarolEngelmann Год назад

Hi! I have been watching tutorials for beginners for some time now. My attempts to put the information into practice have been between mildly successful and awful. Your tutorial made sense from the beginning. It's a good tempo and each step demonstrates the rule so clearly. Knew lots of this already but never saw the whole picture. I feel the enthusiasm returning to get back to my paint and paper. Thank you!

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

So pleased you found this helpful. Thank you for sharing 😊

@gretchenmack-pq4fo 8 месяцев назад

This was great for beginners! Just got back into painting 2 years ago. So very helpful! Question? Would a person be able to put a a small piece of land in bottom of last painting next to water and and add a silhouette of a person standing there?

@KarenRiceArt 8 месяцев назад

Absolutely - that would work really well. So glad you enjoyed this tutorial. If you would like to see more exclusive and in-depth tutorials why not think about joining my Patreon membership. www.patreon.com/karenriceart

@patriciapavey898 Год назад

I tried your first tutorial after doing some practice. However when I had to do the clouds by lifting off the darker blue with a tissue, the paint had already dried n cud not do the clouds properly.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Sorry, the clouds did not lift off because your sky had dried. If you do this technique again lift off the clouds straight after you paint your sky wash. Hope this is helpful and you enjoy your Watercolour journey.

@hkremer2167 Год назад

This is so helpful! I have been struggling with overworking my paintings. I think using these techniques will help.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

I'm so glad!

@wtpltd Год назад

First time I’ve painted anything since school, probably 40 years..I struggled to get the colours as intense as yours..is that because I’m using pans or is it me just being frightened of the colour?

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Well done on painting after 40 years Paul. I use tubes and squeeze the paint into pans. You get a better consistency that way.

I'm based in the Netherlands and I'm trying to find a bristle brush to use. I ordered some on Amazon but they ended up with very short handle and longer bristles, and much wider in diameter than yours. Where can I find one like yours?

@KarenRiceArt 8 месяцев назад

I would recommend Black Velvet Brushes by Silver Brush (you can purchase them from Jacksons Art Supplies). I wish I’d known about them years ago they have brilliant beautiful points and their loading capacity is amazing! If you were to just buy one, I would recommend the size 10 round. A mop or hake brush is great for wetting large areas. This video may help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JhqZaixsK7A.html :)

@patriciapavey898 Год назад

Is water colour n acrylic paint the same

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Hi, Watercolour and Acrylics are water-based mediums. But they are different water colours are transparent medium. That is not permanent. Acrylics opaque medium that are permanent. You don’t usually use white paint with Watercolour , use the white of the paper. You do use white with acrylics. Hope this is helpful.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

You can add water to Acrylics to make it like Watercolour .

Take your time and remember to breath is another good tip

@colinremmer2417 7 месяцев назад

What clues can you see that lets you know the paper is just damp and not wet?

@KarenRiceArt 7 месяцев назад

You may not see it clearly on the video, but wet is very shiny and damp has a sheen.

@colinremmer2417 7 месяцев назад

Got it thank you. I've heard people talking about wet vs damp many times but never heard how to tell at what stage of drying the paper actually is@@KarenRiceArt

@colinremmer2417 7 месяцев назад

Do you have any tutorials about mixing the correct consistency of paint - wet, creamy, etc? Thank you@@KarenRiceArt
