Love your technique on the sky, the simplistic composition & your pallet is perfect with only 6 colors, keeping it simple . Thank you for sharing. Carmela, watercolorist.
I am an art teacher and truly appreciate how well you describe your technique while you are painting. Such a pleasure to watch. I mean this in the highest regard....you are the Bob Ross of watercolor and make this wonderful medium accessible to all.
This is downright amazing. What looks like completely random or careless brushstrokes ends up looking like a landscape you could recognize from memory. Super inspiring. Thanks so much.
I was so happy to know someone else thinks the brushing of the colors on the paper is "delicious!" I also think of it as "luscious" sometimes. Always makes me happy.
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial Karen! It is truly a blessing for those of us who are newer to watercolor to have such wonderful teaching, for FREE! Thanks for sharing your gift, I learn a lot from you!
Thank you so much for this! I haven’t painted for years and recently wanted to get back into it. So, I have attempted to paint this on a card for my husbands 40th which is on Tuesday. I’m actually quite proud of the result and also really enjoyed it. Thank you so much, I think you might have got the enthusiasm inside me burning again!
Karen, that was absolutely inspiring, I've been away from watercolor for so long I've forgotten everything I ever learned, you make me feel like just jumping in there and enjoying any happy accidents that will probably happen. Thank you so much, that was inspiring, Natalie
Thank you Karen. You kept it straightforward and have taken some of the mystery away from watercolour while keeping it fun. I subscribed straight away.
Wow, mi piace molto la tua tecnica, finalmente un artista che usa gli acquerelli con semplicità senza usare dozzine di pennelli e colori impossibili, grazie mille, la tua dimostrazione mi ha dato fiducia e credo che il tuo canale sia uno dei pochi che potrò seguire senza sentirmi stressato o "underpressure". Il tuo acquerello è proprio come piace a me, semplici linee che segnano le aree da colorare e tanta libertà di espressione. Thank you.
My daughter always paint landscapes, she has a lot of passion in painting, but she doesn't know the techniques to paint with watercolors and she paints with acrylic but she discovered your channel and your paintings are awesome! She is so impressed with you and she is learning your techniques and painting them :D
Go for it! It was really lovely painting it 😊 For more exclusive and in-depth tutorials why not think about joining my Patreon membership. www.patreon.com/karenriceart
This is one of my absolute favorite paintings you have posted. It beautifully captures what's so wonderful about watercolor landscape painting. I'd love to see more of these sparse landscapes!!
I love your painting! There's something about wetlands, and that's what this painting reminds me of. Huge mountains are majestic for sure, but the peaceful nature of the 'quieter' spots are my fav. Lovely painting and thank you for sharing how to try to accomplish it. 😊
I love how you made beautiful "mistakes" and even capitalized on them. I aspire to be this comfortable when doing water color. I love your elegance, yes that was elegant
Thank you so much! I’m a passionate self made beginner, I never attended arts courses, neverthless with your tutorials I feel I’m really learning the watercolour technics and my landscapes quality is improving tremendously. You’re a great teacher as well as a great painter!
Wow Elisabetta, that's wonderful and so great to read! I am delighted that your paintings are improving with the help of my tutorials! Keep up the good work! Happy painting :)
thank you so much!! I've never been able to use watercolour for landscapes, but now I have a good idea on how to make them in a simple yet effective way
Wow, I'm a very very new painter having trouble with doing lots of things but just sitting and rushing along to follow this video, I've actually turned something fairly decent out. Thanks! New subscriber right here!
Hello, Karen. I have been wanting to begin watercolour painting for a while, and today I found your channel. You have given me such a boost - just to sit down and start. Thank you for this VERY user-friendly tutorial! 😄
I absolutely love the way you narrate what you're doing, and really explain how you're using your brush etc. This was utterly inspiring and the passion with how you paint, not obsessive over details creates such a beautiful painting. Honestly my absolute favourite video I've watched since I've been learning.
I have been mesmerised watching this.My ships are upside down triangles but I am going to give watercolouring ago again.Thank you for resurrecting my interest,
Thank you for this tutorial. It was so enjoyable to do with all the different enhancing techniques. My sister loved it too, and since it is now hanging on her wall, I am doing it again as I loved it being part of my portfolio. It is so calm and peaceful...
I've been looking for someone to help me loosen up so thank you Karen,glad I found you and will be working at it in future. Best wishes for success in your efforts to help us amateurs.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Frank and I am so pleased that you found the tutorials and that they were helpful! Thank you also for your good wishes, much appreciated! Take care, happy painting :)
Karen this watercolor painting is beautiful. I’m just starting my journey with watercolor and I’m so happy I found you to begin my learning from you. Thank you. Xo
This is great. I am looking for ideas on what to paint with my primary school students this year. I would love to do some landscapes with them. Thanks for the video!
What a wonderful painting! I love learning new techniques with watercolour, I'm an acrylic girl but trying to get into watercolour for my sea/ landscapes more and more. Brilliant video thank you!
I've resurrected my watercolour painting in the current lock down. It's been over 20 years since I did any painting and I love your channel and have been practising a lot! I have learned more from a couple of your tutorials than I ever did before - but I still haven't learned to stop when I should! There's always that brush stroke too far!!
Thank you so much for your comment and I am delighted that you have resurrected your watercolours in lockdown after 20 years! Really pleased that you’ve been practising and that you’ve learnt lots from my tutorials! The lesson of went to learn to stop… Is a hard one… But you can do it, just keep practicing! Take care, happy painting :-)
I so very much enjoyed the simplicity of your painting of the landscape. You made it look so easy which I know it actually isn’t. Inspiring just the same. Thank you.
Wow that’s an amazing tutorial, thank you - you make it look so simple and effortless! It is inspiring me to give landscapes another go. I haven’t really done any watercolour for about 30 years, and now I’m retired I want to really delve into this art form again. 😀
Really enjoyed watching the painting develop. I’ve not touched my paints since March and was struggling to find something that could inspire me again. Thank you for posting these wonderful videos, I will be picking up my brushes again.
Thank you, that was beautiful - I really love how you make order out of (gorgeous) chaos and how unexpectedly things pop up into existence out of nowhere
Thank you. You’re a terrific instructor - I can’t wait to try a few of these! I’m new to your channel - glad I found you - I’m motivated to paint more!
Beautiful watercolour with some interesting techniques. I haven't come across that make of paint before, but they look very impressive. Thanks for sharing😊
Thank you for sharing your gifts and teaching. Its just a wonder to watch and is exciting to think that with continued practice I will be able to do something similar.
Hi Connie, good luck... usually it's timing with salt, don't put it on when the paint is too wet or too dry and ensure you don't use low salt as it doesn't work as well. :)

This is downright amazing. What looks like completely random or careless brushstrokes ends up looking like a landscape you could recognize from memory. Super inspiring. Thanks so much.

Lovely Karen! I’m going to give it a go and try the salt thing again. Usually I don’t have much success with salt. 💕
Hi Connie, good luck... usually it's timing with salt, don't put it on when the paint is too wet or too dry and ensure you don't use low salt as it doesn't work as well. :)
Thanks, turned out better than I expected. Have difficulty with depth though. Thanks again.
Glad it helped! Thank you 😊
