[@Dotalina33]

I am mesmerized watching you watercolor your bauble painting. I haven’t tried water coloring at all but bought a few sets to use on other card making projects. But laughing all the way to my artroom with this fabulous goal I’m going to give the bauble painting a good old fashioned (college) try! I laugh because trying different things makes me so full of joy inside. Oh I have to add the glitter mix was a brilliant idea! So Thankful I found your channel!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy painting this one!

[@normadykstra1213]

These ornaments are absolutely gorgeous!🎄🎄

[@donna6516]

Thank you so much, Karen. This is absolutely lovely and, as a newcomer to watercolor, it's so helpful to hear your thinking process and explanations as you go. Even knowing the specific colors and brush sizes is a bonus for those of us just learning. Delightful!

[@KarenRiceArt]

So pleased you found this helpful 😊
