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 👍
Thank you so much!
I stopped breathing whilst watching you so, that made me laugh. Thank you so much. I needed those few tips. You're a star. ⭐🌟⭐
Your comment made me smile Susan! I hope you find these tips helpful! Thank you so much 😀
Thank you..I just got my first supplies for Christmas. I'm 53 yrs old and this has been on my bucket list. My oldest daughter knew this and got them for me. Blessings and thanks again 💞🖌
Wonderful! I hope you enjoy your watercolour journey 😀
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.
Thank you so much 😀

Great! Really great! So much about technique, mixing and composition in one video. Absolutely stunning! One of the best tutorials for beginners on yt!
Wow, thank you!
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!
Thank you so much Meg! Really pleased you found this helpful 😊
It's priceless, I've got to try these projects.
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!
So pleased you found this helpful now Gretel. Thank you!
Fantastic teaching lesson for beginning in watercolor painting. Thank you so much!
So pleased you found this helpful. Thank you Diane 😊
🙏🙏THANK YOU Karen
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!
So pleased you found this helpful. Thank you for sharing 😊
I love the way you explain everything you do as you go. Thank you. X
Thank you!

Really, really, valuable information and detailed exercises. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
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.
Thank you very much!
Learned so much from your teaching. These all 3 looks amazing .thanks so much 😍🥰🤩
Glad you like them! Thank you!

Brilliant! Brilliant ! & Brilliant! Are the words I can think right now. So many techniques and so much perfection makes this tutorial special. This is one of my favourite channels and thanks Karen for the inspiring work you are doing.
Wow, thank you! I am so pleased you think so!!
Very helpful - thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Susan 😊
Enjoyed this very much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
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).
So glad you mentioned that because it was on my mind too, but I didn't know how to say it.
Thank you. ❤️
Thank you!
I'm so glad I found this tutorial! I started painting about 2 years ago, and had such difficulty with water! This explains so much, I will take it all to heart and be able to paint more confidently. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video! Your style is wonderful!
Thank you so much!
the light on all 3 of them is very nice, creates 3 different moods for each piece😀
Thanks so much 😊
I've worked with oils, acrylics, encaustic and I thought watercolor was too difficult for me, but with your way of explaining I'm learning more. Thank you very much!
Wonderful!
Nice tutorial! Nice pictures.
Thank you!
Excellent instructions thank you so much …happy new year
Glad it was helpful! Happy new year to you to!
Thank you for this helpful information. Blessings
Fantastic tutorial, Karen!!Thank you! 🙌👩🎨 You do a great job describing each step and make it easy. As a watercolor teacher myself, I appreciate your style!❤
Thank you 😊

Fantástico! Gracias :)
Awesome
Thank you!
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!
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.
Thank you 😍💖
You're welcome 😊
Happy New Year Karen and thank you for a tip-loaded tutorial. Most helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Amazingly helpful. Thank you for generously sharing
You're welcome, glad it was helpful!
Wow, thanks. Cant wait to start. Excellent demonstration.
Have fun!
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
So pleased you found this helpful. I would recommend 100% cotton 300gsm paper 😀
Thank you so much for this video. ♥️ I learned new things from you and I especially loved the 2nd and 3rd painting. The clouds on the 3rd painting are beautiful. It looks like it's about to rain. 🌧🌧 New subscriber here. ♥️🥰
Thank you so much :-)
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?
Absolutely - that would work really well. So glad you enjoyed this tutorial.

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.
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.
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?
Well done on painting after 40 years Paul. I use tubes and squeeze the paint into pans. You get a better consistency that way.
What clues can you see that lets you know the paper is just damp and not wet?
You may not see it clearly on the video, but wet is very shiny and damp has a sheen.
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
Do you have any tutorials about mixing the correct consistency of paint - wet, creamy, etc? Thank you@@KarenRiceArt

Thanks@@KarenRiceArt
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?
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: ruclips.net/video/JhqZaixsK7A/видео.html :)
Is water colour n acrylic paint the same
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.
You can add water to Acrylics to make it like Watercolour .
