Thank you for your comment Cindy, I’m so glad you learnt so much from the video! :-)

[@bellabaker4943]

Love this one so much. I think you are spot on about the mid tones. Gonna do my interpretation of this over weekend when not overwhelmed with homeschooling my granddaughter! We are all in strict isolation here in Indiana, USA. Take care all.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Mary, mid tones can lead us down a rabbit hole in watercolour painting. Hope you get a chance this weekend to have a go at this painting.We are also in lockdown in Hertfordshire, England. So strange, can't quite believe all this is happening! Take care :)

[@susanryder1437]

I love your tutorials, Karen, and have painted the previous poppy field with a good result - am now going to try this one. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us and for being such an inspiration.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Susan, that's my pleasure and I am so glad you like the tutorials! I wish you luck with painting this one! I love paintings poppies because I love the colour red, any excuse to use it! :)

[@blondelebanese9922]

Karen poppies are my favorite flowers as well. Thank you so much for this lovely tutorial, it’s 6:45am EST so soon it will be light outside. I can’t wait to watch the tutorial and paint my simple version of your poppy painting! I watch all your tutorials and love them all❣️❣️

[@lindaking9222]

Lovely..good comment about spoiling a painting with mid tones,checking with a mount is helpful,do that myself

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Linda for your comment. I spent years building up mid tones and always ended up losing the light! I try to get to the darks and details as quick as possible. The mount is such a good idea, just makes us more objective. :)

[@judybreedlove5348]

I loved this painting. Actually I love watching all of your videos. They lift my spirits every time. Poppies are so delightful in bloom.

Thank you for continuing to share your talent with us.

[@KarenRiceArt]
