Thank you so much 😀

Hi there, thank you so, so much for posting these videos!! so impressed with the techniques offered and indeed, using only three colours and a few brushes. So many guides tell one that one needs a whole lot of materials, costs add up and one is sometimes put off even trying. New to watercolour - my wife loves it - I am an oil man - trying out watercolours soon!! Blessings in these crazy times!! Keep safe.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks so much James! Limited colours and materials make things so much easier as well! So pleased your wife loves it! Take care both of you! Happy painting :)

[@WediEre6654]

Very good painting indeed! Good effects of spontaneity all over the painting.

[@KarenRiceArt]

It's very beautiful, has a zen quality, and interesting how the colours chosen reflect the winter season.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you very much!

Thrilled with this project I completed over a couple of days. I did all of the sky first so I didn’t have an entire sheet of white, wet paper to panic about! I couldn’t find Indian Red in the QOR range so used their Pyrrole Light red instead which gave the picture a more violet cast, especially the sea. It just failed a bit on the foreground where I couldn’t achieve a twiggy brown, so adapted to a grassy style. I learned the very light shadings right at the beginning make such a difference ... and of course the splatter! The birds are a real feature. Big thanks 😊

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much Chris for your comment. I am so pleased you learnt so much from this tutorial! Wonderful! :)

[@65sunnyday]

You know, that's a triad I never would have thought of using - I love it! I never experiment with different triads, just never think of it. You've opened my eyes, Karen! Thank you for such a thought-provoking tutorial!!!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you! I did experiment with different colours! I really liked how they worked together :)

[@louisesommerfeld54]

This a wonderful painting!

What a lovely lesson for my Sunday morning! Many thanks again from Vancouver Island Canada.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Glad you enjoyed it! Greetings to Vancouver Island!

[@ellenschmidt3005]

This is a beautiful painting! I have a tube of Indian Red, but haven't used it often; the effect with Naples Yellow and Ultra Marine is wonderful! I also like the idea of using a twig to paint. I'll definitely give that a try!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Ellen, I am so glad you found the tutorial helpful and you now have a use for the Indian red! Happy painting.

[@lindaking9222]

Lovely scene with those colours

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Linda.

[@lyndaevans1132]

Oh, my goodness! This looks exactly like the area around the village in Bush Alaska where I taught and lived for a year! This lovely watercolor brings back so many memories! I'm REALLY looking forward to this one!!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Oh wow, what a coincidence! Glad this brought back happy memories for you Lynda! Happy painting!

[@Miastrong930]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gentlerdaysofgardensofpaper]

Karen, do you remember the winter of 2008/9 ? I was living in Porthmadog and this piece reminds me of the snow that fell on the beach there, (Black Rock Sands) it was amazing. Anyway, another inspirational session and I concur with Tina Schmidt, maybe it's time to get a book out ... Big wave from The Sheffield Peak District, Pabi 👋🎨

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you for your lovely comment! I bet seeing that snow covered beach was amazing!! So pleased that you found this tutorial inspiring! You know I have just started to think about the book idea this week. My students have been teasing me for years! Thank you! Big wave back to you in the Sheffield Peak District!! 😀

[@kristenlapham2368]

I have to try this!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Please do, happy painting!

[@dplouff0820]

Beautiful! At first glance I thought you were painting a white sand beach like the place I always go to at Panama City Beach FL. (About 3 1/2 hours away from where I live)

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you for watching Diane, I would love to visit that beach in Florida some day!

[@karenk490]

[@marycope2278]

What happened to the brownish headland on the left hand side of the picture. Did the color fade away so much that I cannot reset it?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Hi Mary... I think you are talking about the framing tape? I used it to get a straight line on the horizon :)

[@mkourani]

You're awesome

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you !

[@marycope2278]

Duh! Of course it was the tape. I just did not remember. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

[@KarenRiceArt]

That' ok Mary glad I could clear that up for you, thank you for watching :)
