W this style you make ordinary city scenes amazing art🤩😛

[@beatrixkogler8938]

Woooow! This picture is sooo very beautiful and fascinating for me. I tried to do a city skyline (from Hamburg/Germany) in my sketchbook, but of course it is not half as fantastic as yours here, but I tried ☺. Today I saved a stick from my Magnum Ice and will try to use it next time😂. Anyhow, I learned a lot and I always do, watching your tutorials. I loooove it. You are such a fantastic teacher. Thank you dear Karen🥰💖

I just love this technique. Thank you for the tip on wetting the back of the paper. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@KarenRiceArt]

You are so welcome!

[@lindaking9222]

Really effective technique….nice to see Prussian Blue being used….seems to be a less popular blue

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks Linda… you are right not as popular. Love using this colour combination 😊

[@gretelstonebridge2323]

Reading a comment below my project list is growing. Love this technique and made perfect by using 2 colours!

So pleased you like this one! Enjoy your upcoming projects! 😊

[@coralieverbruggen5655]

Thank you so much for this tutorial ... I've tried this ... and I've concluded : you make it look so easy but it isn't. :-) ... But, I keep practising ! Rome wasn't built in a day. Many greetings from Belgium.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you! Practice really helps and it’s fun too 😊

[@monalisamackey783]

Hi Karen, I think you are brilliant at this technique! I love this painting and the others you have painted using this method! 🙌🏻😃.

Thanks so much 😊

[@amywagreich9042]

Beautiful. Love your videos. I have so much fun watching them. Awesome!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much!

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

I wonder if I could angle the card, zig zag it just slightly and make a forest scene. This is just the coolest technique I have seen in quite a while! TFS!!

[@KarenRiceArt]

That's a great idea!

[@Semmelsocke65]

This is so cool! Learned so much from your tutorials. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@KarenRiceArt]

You are so welcome!

[@carolpenn1155]

Karen you are so inspiring. This is brilliant and I know when I ‘have a go’ it won’t look like yours but I have learnt so much from this. Thank you 🎨

[@KarenRiceArt]

I’m so pleased! Thank you Carol 😊

[@SH-eb9hg]

[@judyvla]

Lovely painting and process, and illuminating commentary. You’re a terrific teacher. Think I’ll go paint!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much 😊

[@onnaaddis7983]

Karen, great job. I haven't done this technique in a long while. I usally use quinacridone burnt orange with thalo blue gr.shade and th blue, red shade. But I like your ven red. thank you for inspiration on such a cold day! Onna

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Onna for sharing your colours. I hope you enjoy painting this one 😊

[@chrischurchley7003]

Amazingly effective - my eyes are searching into the background and in between the buildings! I wonder if there might be an application of this technique for a “green” landscape scene … 🤨. Great tutorial thank you 🙏!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks so much Chris! Great suggestion 😊

[@eastsussexbeesandwildlife5801]

Thanks so much for that, been working on my abstracts today, your guidance has been invaluable!

[@KarenRiceArt]

You are so welcome!

[@Zenon-fg4dw]

Absolutely wonderful work, Karen. Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I think I’ll give it a go. I heard you say that you are using Arche’s 300 grams watercolor paper. Is that 300 grams or 300 lb paper?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you! Yes I’m using 300 gsm paper 😊

[@gretelstonebridge2323]

Question, I have decided to try technique for a view of a Hamburg skyline. There are green copper roofs. Any thoughts on 2 best colours to create idea some verdigris?

[@KarenRiceArt]

You could use Payne’s Grey and Viridian or Viridian and Alizarin Crimson 😊

[@gretelstonebridge2323]

@@KarenRiceArt I did some testing with what I have and have used prussian blue and burnt sienna. There's a nod to green in there. I've completed stage 1. Looks OK. Will try another I think to see the difference. Thank you

[@gretelstonebridge2323]

Stage 2 complete and it looks really effective. I've also painted some swatches for other colour combinations. I should paint more now!

[@geraldinenagle1756]

Karen could I use card for beach scene in landscape

[@KarenRiceArt]

Absolutely, check out this seascape/beach tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZvMdahvi5mqrZo

[@malinwaldestal1813]

I really adore your work!!! Is it possible to use the card technique in a forest scene?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you! I haven’t tried it with a forest scene. I am sure you can using a longer piece of card.

[@malinwaldestal1813]

@@KarenRiceArt Thank you for fast reply! I will try that. ❤

[@alysonevans5469]

Love to be able to do this but I usually fail miserably! 🤣

[@KarenRiceArt]

It does take a little practice… less is more 😊
