Karen, this is another great tutorial. I am a member and recommend these videos highly. It is probably the best money that I have spent all year. My painting has improved considerably. I was enrolled in a class at a nearby college and it was cancelled after one class due to Covid. I fortunately found Karen while browsing online. She is the best on the web.
I will be signing up in January!
Thanks Wendy! :)
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment, I am delighted that the tutorials have helped you improve in watercolour! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and happy new year! Take care, happy painting :)

Thank you for great lessons.
So pleased you liked the tutorial!
Thank you so much Karen for mixing up the types of paper you use. I have always used cold pressed but invested in some rough recently with no clue to how to use it! I didn't realise you had so many demonstrations with its use, so very much appreciated thank you.
Thank you Linda for your comment I am so pleased that you found this tutorial useful especially in the use of the different types of paper. Rough paper is really useful when painting landscapes that require lots of texture… Happy painting :-)
Well done Karen I have learnt a lot, thank u madam
You are very welcome! Thank you :)
Very nice. I always approach painting snow with some trepidation and watching someone else do it does make it seem easier.

Thank you so much!!
Well done Karen : I learnt a lot
Thank you!
This is beautiful! You are a great teacher! I’m a beginner and can’t go that fast. Another great video! 😊
Thank you Catherine!
Slow down
Sorry you are finding it a little fast. If it helps I do have a solution for you that will work on any RUclips video to slow it down: ruclips.net/video/KUymMkTpScw/видео.html
This lovely lady here explains it really well. Once you have it slowed down to a speed that is ok for you, just click the CC button at the bottom of my video and it will have the subtitles. So you can follow along. I would suggest muting the voiceover as it will have a very slowed down voice! Hope this helps! :)
Karen, your videos are so inspiring and helpful! Happily painting away this weekend with your help. Thank you!! (Jill)

Thank you for this beautiful painting tutorial. Over this year I have picked up a paintbrush for the first time in fifty years after being told that I was hopeless at painting. My friends all think I am super creative now but your amazing guidance and reassurance have helped me understand you can learn something new at any age, just be courageous and give it a go. Happy New Year and here's to happy painting. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! So pleased that the tutorials have inspired you to pick up a paintbrush and have a go! You are an inspiration to others! Thank you for sharing your experience. Take care, happy painting and happy new year :)

Happy New Year.
Just starting out with watercolour. I thought this was really tricky as a beginner but so glad I stuck with it, when the painting came alive I was over the moon. Looks nothing like yours but it’s still lovely and I learned so much. Thank you so much 😊🙏
Thanks so much Naomi, really pleased you stuck with the painting and it went well! Wonderful, keep painting, you will love it! :)
Thanks a million for sharing your tricks! I had so many troubles with removing a frame tape in the past! :) And now I know how to fix it :) Cheers from St. Ptersburg.
Glad I could help!
Absolutely fantastic tutorial. I'm giving this a whirl.....
Wonderful! Have fun :)
That was a lovely one to do and I am very pleased with my result! I haven't had a chance to do many of your tutorials yet but my new year's resolution is to spend more time painting. Thank you for the inspiration!
Great to hear from you Anne! So pleased you had a chance to paint this one and were pleased with the result! I hope you get to paint more watercolours in 2021! I also hope to see you all again soon... it has been too long! Happy new year, take care :)
That’s a stunning painting and you’re a great teacher! I was just wondering what size your painting was? Many thanks for your wonderful tutorials xxx
Thank you Jo! The paper size was approx 9 x 12 inches :)
@@KarenRiceArt thanks Karen, I can’t wait to have a go! Was that the size of the overall paper or the dimensions of the painting? Thanks again 😊 xx

Thank you Karen for this beautiful demo! It has inspired me to get back to my love of watercolors! I have always loved painting Aspen or Birch trees in the snow.

Thank you for this great tutorial. You make it look so easy. Hope I can have success as I try this. I am very new to watercolor and still a bit out of control with water/paint ratio and get mud when I try hard not to!

Hi karen , love your videos, have extremely outstanding talent
Thank you so much! So lovely of you to say :)
Just found you here. Great teaching and very nice painting. Looking at the reference photo I wondered if you could have glazed with a watery yellow or pink to replicate the glow from the sunlight I can see in the photo?
Great suggestion! Thank you Rowena :)
Thank you for a great video. You make it look so easy. I will try this one. Merry Christmas. Stay safe.
Thank you so much Marg...Have fun painting this one! Hope you have had a lovely Christmas :)

Karen thank you for this excellent tutorial. What a beautiful result you’ve created. I was wondering what your thoughts are on protecting the painting from ultraviolet damage over the longer term?
Merry Christmas to you and yours, and please keep safe.
Thank you Andrew!! Happy Christmas to you and your family :)
Great question Andrew! I would not hang a watercolour painting in direct sunlight firstly and secondly you can protect your painting by glazing it with UV glass for extra protection or UV protectve varnish. Hope this was helpful :)
I love love love this piece! Thank you for sharing your talents! Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much Amy! So pleased you like this painting! Merry Christmas to you! 🎄
