Most of the tutorial that I watch are from artists "across the pond". This one was so informative and fun at the same time. When I've watched several videos in a row, my room mate will say "Why are you talking like you're British? lol I dunno. It just 'appens. (I'm from Arkansas in the US) Love all your videos! I'm learning so much.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Love your comment about accents! Made me smile!! So pleased you are enjoying my tutorials… thank you 😊

@dearbh1736 Год назад

Well young lady, if ever you produced a pop of pure joy this was it. Oh Karen, you took us on the most amazing ride and the end result is just phenomenal ✨✨ I loved every second of it and you were in your element. So exicited to try this fabulous technique. I rarely include figures in my landscapes but I will be making some serious changes after this - and dog walkers too!! Thank you so, so much. You made my day 💕💕💕

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Wow, thank you!! I am so pleased this made your day! One of my favourite subjects. Hope you it gives you the inspiration to paint figures in your painting 🥰

@tedpytlik8123 Год назад

Great tutorial on creating figures. Love the initial spattering to start defining the rough shapes. Your quick loose technique of creating torsos and legs is a great demonstration. I keep reminding myself to stay loose when doing figures and watching you reinforces that discipline. Thanks for the great demo.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Thank you so much Ted really pleased you enjoyed this figure painting tutorial. I have found teaching students over the years, that practice really helps with painting figures and once they get it they just get better! It’s magical in a way. I hope you enjoy painting figures in your paintings. :-)

@Notoldfart 7 месяцев назад

Learned much just from watching as you worked. More than just the figures but use of the brush, water and paint as well as shapes. I am wanting to be more impressionistic and not too much detail. Very happy to have found your site.

@KarenRiceArt 7 месяцев назад

Great to hear! Thank you!

@randiharlev Год назад

I loved this tutorial! I have been trying for months to stop getting sucked into details when I paint, and to learn to paint loosely. Finally! And I was especially excited that rather than getting frustrated and upset with myself when my painting did not look like yours, I gave myself permission to stop the tutorial (which I had watched previously) and be creative, making the painting my own. I'm really happy with the result, and I'm super self-critical. Oh - and I loved painting the little people. Thank you so much!

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

So pleased you found this helpful Randi... we are all guilty of being critical of ourselves... I am so glad you were happy with the outcome! Yay!!

@sherylbuchanan7046 Год назад

I really like this type of painting. This is a loose sort of impressionistic, suggestive, type painting. There is not a lot of detail in this painting yet one can tell exactly what is going on. I would like to see more examples of loose watercolor paintings like this one. Thanks for painting this. - Sheryl from Texas USA

@cynthiasterling7892 Год назад

Such a fantastic painting ♥️ Learned a lot about people just walking, and then your added touches. The buildings, you sketched look so easy windows and lines, shadows. You made such a drawing look so easy, but when l try to paint l must remember l have to keep in mind it’s like an abstract loosen up‼️ Thank you, so much for this painting ♥️💕 ☘️☘️ Cheers

Excellent overview of your tutorial lesson. You are very good at organizing the structure of your presentation and demonstrating both through your comments and brush strokes. Your voice level and speaking rate contribute to our appreciation of what you are showing. This is an excellent presentation and earns an "A" in my opinion.

Thanks so much for sharing this awesome tutorial. It‘s so interesting to see how it becomes more and more structure. I tried it too and I‘m very proud of the result. It was the first time that I painted people and allowed me to give up a little bit of control. Very instruktive exercise for me. 👍👌🙂🎨

@markdonovan1540 Год назад

Brilliant video, just what I needed to help me with my urban sketching painting. Although these simple figures are great to add interest to some landscapes paintings or village streets for example. I've been practising the "carrot shape" figures for a few months, but with mixed success. I find it difficult to get proportions right and to match the perspective of a given street scene. Hopefully, this video will help me develop more consistent results, so it is much appreciated.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Thank you Mark, so pleased you found this helpful! Thank he carrot shapes are useful for very distant people… I find these figures shapes are useful for street scenes etc… 😊

@deborahgoodwin3426 Год назад

I just love this impressionistic painting and look forward to giving it my best try. Keeping loose is going to be my greatest challenge! Since you erased the original shadows at the end, does this mean that we should not add them to begin with? 👩‍🦳🖌️

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

So pleased you enjoyed this tutorial. You have two choices here. You can paint the simpler painting without details with the reflection, or the detailed painting without the reflection but with the shadows. Hope this was helpful 😊
