What an amazing background - beautiful effects with the swirling colours - definitely need to try this 😁👏

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks so much Chris! I think you will love it! 😊

[@lizzy9975]

Brusho is like magic .... It's utterly amazing. I could watch it all day

[@KarenRiceArt]

Me too! Thank you for watching!

[@antiochfoxlake7]

Oh I looove this. I painted with alcohol ink awhile back. Too many fumes from the alcohol and I had to stop. I used Brusho today on my photo paper. Wow, I had so much fun I could barely stop. I just used water and got some amazing effects. You bring such good ideas and joy to back. Abstract flowers !!! 🌸 bravo

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you! So pleased you found this inspiring! I loved alcohol inks, but they gave me a headache. Which is such a shame... But I was impressed with the Brusho and just dropping in water creates amazing effects!

[@sophiaannelizabeth]

This is so lovely!

Wow, will have to try using Yupo paper, love the texture it produces. Thanks as always Karen 😊

Hi Marvin, thanks so much! Really pleased you are finding the tutorials helpful! Good luck with the watercolour and salt. I have no plans at present to do live streaming because of my schedule. However I would love to do something like that in the future. Watch this space 😊

[@arunapendse6296]

Such exquisite painting. Can this be preserved? Can we get similar results on watercolour paper? Thank you for your wonderful tutorial!

[@KarenRiceArt]

You could frame this behind glass. You can’t get quite enough he same effect in watercolour. It’s because the watercolour paper is more absorbent.

[@erba6344]

Hi, I like to look at your watercolors and at the same time I wonder if I could also paint a picture ?! What format should I start with? You know it very well. Thank you!💖👍

Hello de France. ❤ 😊

[@annek8979]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you Karen. Do you have to seal it? What do you use if you will seal it.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Anne. To seal your Yupo watercolour painting use a high quality acrylic non-yellowing varnish on YUPO, such as Lascaux Fixativ or Krylon Crystal Clear.

[@heleneguay7144]

sincere congratulations, wow, what do you then use as varnish to preserve the work please?

[@KarenRiceArt]

I usually frame my work behind uv glass.

[@T3po69]

I love this! I’m going to break down and order some. Thank you for your videos. Love your work. Did you leave this as it was or can you seal it, somehow?

[@KarenRiceArt]

I did leave it, but you can frame behind glass 😊

[@trisht5064]

thank you Karen great demo im wondering do you know how archival the end result it mainly without the bleach thanks

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks Trish, I am not sure of the answer to this. But I would frame the Brusho behind the glass to protect it :)

[@kerryhall5621]

Hi Karen l've just brought some Brusho l just wanted to know what you used to pierce the holes into the lid and how many holes did you do f l don't put the holes into the lid l can see big accidents happening lol l absolutely love your art and channel and G'Day from Australia 💞💞💞

[@KarenRiceArt]

G'day Kerry (in Australia!), I hope you enjoy playing with the Brusho! So pleased you like my art! Yay! I usually use push pins to punch holes into the top... start with one and just test to see how much comes out. Because of the design of the push pin, they are great as a top to stop the Brusho from escaping afterwards. Hope this was helpful, have fun 😊

[@rosief1875]

Loved this. Have you tried taking a print while the paper is still so wet?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks Rosie... I have not tried a print? Do you mean placing another piece of Brusho over the top and pressing down on the painting?

[@rosief1875]

@@KarenRiceArt No I meaant placing paper on top of the wet painted Yupo

[@InfinitaGioiaPatCHesall]

Thank you for your sharing 😊How to clean hands after? I tried brusho and got hands so pigmented that it was useless even water and soap...

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Pat, so pleased you found this useful, especially cleaning your hands :)

[@teresajordao6634]

What an interesting idea! Is this paper the same for encaustic painting? It is similar... Thanks

[@KarenRiceArt]

It is Yupo paper: recyclable, waterproof, tree-free Synthetic Paper.

[@brightstreamify]

Stunning! Can’t wait to try this! One question, if I may? Did you take off the greenish brusho at the top right and replace it with brown Brusho (on re wetted Wupo)? That upper right background is so beautiful!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Sue, I think the Brusho dries very light, but it could have disappeared with all the spritzing! So pleased you like the upper background 😊

[@arunapendse6296]

@@KarenRiceArt thank you.

[@sarahgranville]

Ooh that’s very interesting. Never used yupo paper before but always wanted a go. One question, will the paint stay out when it’s dry do you need to seal it with anything? Thanks xx

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you for your question Sue: I would keep your painting away from moisture and frame the Yupo painting behind glass and not hang it in direct sunlight. Hope this was helpful 😊

[@fergiemax1829]

Beautiful! If you can just wipe it off, how do you preserve it?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Great question Fergie. You can wipe watercolour off as well with a sponge. The best way to protect the painting is to make sure it does not get wet and to frame it behind perspex or glass and not to hang your painting in direct sunlight... hope this was helpful :)

[@mimiharp9853]

There painting is lovely! How do you protect the painting once done? Do you use some kind of fixative?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much Mimi... The best way to protect the painting is to make sure it does not get wet and to frame it behind perspex or glass with frame. Don't hang your painting in direct sunlight your painting may fade over time... hope this was helpful :)

[@mimiharp9853]

Thank you, same as any watercolor, easy enough.

[@lisastevens2607]

Hello! I do have a question. Do you seal the painting after it’s dry? Yupo is synthetic I’m curious if the paint could be scratched off since it sits on top and isn’t absorbed. Thanks!

Hi Lisa, I don't... I frame them behind glass to protect them 😊

Hi Lana... thank you for your question: I would frame the Yupo painting behind glass and not hang the framed picture in direct sunlight. Hope this was helpful 😊

[@charlotte0069]

I love this effect, would it be possible to achieve this with water colour pencils instead of Brusho, I’m very much a beginner 🙂

[@piaczka1]

I don’t have brusho so intend to try and paint this using a combination of watercolour paint and pencils which I’ll scrape over wet paper using an emery board nail file , which Karen suggested in a previous tutorial. No idea how it’ll turn out but it’ll be fun to try out 😊

[@KarenRiceArt]

Yes you can! You can use so many different mediums with Yupo paper 😊

[@KarenRiceArt]

Have fun Pia

[@KathyWillhite]

can the bleach mix be used on regular cotton or wood pulp watercolor paper?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Hi Kathy, yes you can, but it does seem to make the colours dull when the painting is dry. So I prefer using it on the Yupo paper :)

[@KathyWillhite]

@@KarenRiceArt thank you!

How long does it take for the brusho and gauche to dry

[@KarenRiceArt]

Quite a while, maybe 6 hours. Depends how warm your room is 😊

Can you do this with watercolour rather than brusho? How does bleach work with watercolour (or is alcohol better?) I have some yupo paper and would like to try this with my watercolours, as I dont have any brusho...Thanks
