Years ago it was Nita Engle and her amazing work I saw in one of the books she published that convinced me to give watercolor a go. You are as equally talented and this video is proof

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Nota Engle is an amazing artist! Thank you for sharing! 😀

@rochesterpubliclibrary3965 Год назад

What brand (pigment) aureolin do you use? I hear negative things about PY40, but it is the only transparent nonstaining yellow I can find.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

I used Jackson art supplies 😊

@misawafam 5 месяцев назад

I have such a struggle with wet in wet because it seems either I get my paper way too wet, or my paper dries way too quickly to have enough time to play around with it much at all. I suppose this all boils down to practice, right?!

@KarenRiceArt 5 месяцев назад

You could use a spritzer bottle to spritz your paintings with a fine mist of clean water to stop your painting from drying out. I have always found 100% cotton paper the best as it does not dry out too quickly. Hope this is helpful.

@crashrr2993 Год назад

Every day I walk my dogs through a wood which, at this time of the year is filled with bluebells. I’ve often wondered how I would go about painting such a complex scene. Having watched your video, I think I’ll give it a go! Many thanks.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

So pleased you found this accessible. I hope you get a chance to paint something similar.

@caveman2931 Год назад

Question, Karen. How could you have your paper keeping wet in such a long time?

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

I went to the paper thoroughly and use to 100% cotton paper which does not dry out as quickly. Hope this is helpful.

@bellammmp Год назад

Beautiful! It's given me such good inspiration for a painting I'd like to try... thank you!

Unbelievably beautiful! Very realistic! Hello from Ukraine💙💛

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Thank you 😊

@mayokimmer Год назад

Such a wonderful painting. How did you keep your painting wet so long? My paper seems to dry sooner.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

I really soaked the paper. Also Saunders Waterford stays damp for quite a while. If your painting dries out, spritz with water 😊

@HeiderosesPhotograph Год назад

This is absolutely gorgeous and magical. I just was 2 weeks ago in a forest and those bluebells spread like a carpet between the trees. TFS

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Thank you for sharing 😊

@chrischurchley7003 Год назад

Just beautiful Karen - so atmospheric ❤. I loved your tree bark techniques - giving them texture and light makes such a difference and you managed to hold back on the spongeing! Stunning result 👏. Huge thanks 🙏

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Thank you so much Chris! So pleased you like this one 😊

@sybillestahl8646 Год назад

I followed along and copied this painting, and it looks good! Not as good as yours, of course, but much better than my usual. And even better, I now know some more techniques I can incorporate into other landscapes.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Wow! Thank you 😊

@joannchaloux5169 Год назад

What a stunning painting. I would love to try this, but I am a little scared. It seems beyond my experience since I’m a beginner.

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

Thank you Joann… I understand it can be a little daunting. Maybe start with a sketch on a smaller piece of paper to build confidence 😊

@tamra9124 Год назад

My goodness! How gorgeous the salt effect was for this painting. The salt in itself looks just like leaves, if leaves were white, you could've just left it alone! How crazy and cool this was!! So awesome, thank you again Karen!

Love using salt 😊

@chrisb7970 8 месяцев назад

Wonderful tutorial. Feel inspired to give it a go! One question, what kind of salt do you use? Thank you.

@KarenRiceArt 8 месяцев назад

I use sea salt but you can use table salt, make sure it's not low salt. I recommend laying down some mid tone washes, wait for your paper to be damp, and sprinkle the salt. Give it time to work. Hopefully you will get some nice results 😊

@signelarsen5853 Год назад

Is it 300gr paper?

I'm really looking forward to trying my third attempt at watercolours. In my earlier years bluebell woods were a favourite of mine. Back then I worked with free-machine embroidery and so trees and flowers were perfect subjects. Later I changed to encaustic wax and again bluebell woods featured a lot. Now I'm 80 and recently I decided to look on RU-vid for help. When I found your beautiful work and helpful tutorials I started to paint, often in the middle of the night when I can't sleep , but painting stills my mind. My first painting was of your clover. So exciting to do and so pleased with the results. Thank you Karen x

@KarenRiceArt Actually, Karen, would you believe that I saved a front cover from an Art magazine for many years. It was a photo extremely similar to your painting. I decluttered the cover after many years cos I didn't have the techniques to reproduce the details and layers easily. It's brilliant that chances come round a second time in life. Thank you 🤗. I've also always wanted to be able to incorporate non-brush techniques to achieve "more for less" but our then art teach didn't employ any such 'tools' so i was double excited to see this video of yours ... I just have to get started again now as music practice has taken over 😆.... xG Ire

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

I did dry the painting and have noted drying times in the tutorial. I allow the salt to dry naturally. If the painting dries too quickly you can spritz it with water.
