Love the fact you tell us "DRY the PAINTING". Most YouTuder don't tell us the drying times. Also I noticed you work left to right, not drirting your hand. Good works, keep going strong dear. Ken

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you! I felt it was important to introduce this, because so many forget the importance of drying their paintings. It took me a while to figure out painting from right to left! It prevents unnecessary smudging!

[@cindicopeland9731]

This is so beautifully done! Thank you for posting this excellent bokeh background tutorial.

Finally received my drawing fluid to paint this! I looked at your tutorial then closed it, draw then painted by looking at the photo trying to remember how you did things. It turned out great! I love learning by watching artist paint.

[@Nancy-d2s]

This is a wonderful tutorial I learned so much and wi give it a go! Please can you review how you used the masking fluid to create the daisies? thank you

[@KarenRiceArt]

I masked out the daisies and painted the green washes over the top and the masking fluid protects the white paper. Once the painting is dried, just remove the masking fluid and paint the centres of the daises. You may find this masking tutorial helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmWXppeCgNOEbNk

[@jaimesanchezvelazquez9446]

Hermoso gran talento

[@elizabethmitchell1064]

I've watched several of your videos with this technique. I really like this one, especially because I like daisies. I don't know if this is totally awkward to ask, but I've been thinking about making some smaller paintings/cards/bookmarks so that I can eventually try a craft show and I'm curious about pricing. I don't see much info and I don't want to put you on the spot. If I were to make 5x7 (approx) sized watercolor paintings or cards, I'm wondering what would be a reasonable price to ask. Of course it depends on whether or not I can paint well. I've done some small paintings and got some sincere feedback that I should try to start a side business.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks for your comment and question Elizabeth.... So pleased you like this tutorial. I think your idea of painting some cards and smaller paintings is wonderful. As for pricing very tricky... I would go to the places that you are thinking of selling your work and see what sort of pricing people are charging. It has been a while since I have done this so not sure myself. If you are thinking of selling online, you can check to see what others are doing ... Etsy is a great place to start with. When asked by my students this question... when starting out, it is just nice to cover expenses and get some experience. Always charge more for something you love and are proud of... otherwise if you sell to cheaply you will regret it.... I have experience of this!! Good luck! Let me know how you get on 😊

Wonderful! Is there a special type of sponge to use for the Bokeh technique or will any sponge do?

Thank you Lori, I think any sponge will do. I used a natural sponge and a magic sponge. Hope this was helpful :)

Karen's I just love painting flowers and this one is for me. The sunspots are genius. Would have never thought of doing that. Did you use a magic eraser sponge or just a sponge? Thanks for sharing, I love it..

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks so much Darlene... I used both a magic eraser and a natural sponge. You could also use a stencil brush 😊

[@renemorales3238]

This is a fabulous demo, but I missed hearing you say, "So, shall we get started?" and "Bye for now." Also, I will now always think of daisies when I hear Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. At first, I thought what a sad choice of music for daisies, but as the painting demonstration progressed, the choice of music seemed absolutely appropriate. At first glance, daisies are white, bright and cheery flowers but as this bokeh tutorial illustrates, it's the deep, moody shadows that make daisies glow with joy.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks so much! Really pleased you like the background and the music to accompany the painting! 😊

Thanks so much for introducing the bokeh effect. I did this tutorial just to try it and it turned out very well. I'm working on a landscape right now and going to try it in among the tree branches where I've lost the light. Smaller circles do you think?

[@jeannetteleonard257]

I love white flowers and this video has given the confidence not try it. Am just wondering whether I could use acrylic white instead of gouache, as I don't have any gouache but a lot of acrylic white. Is there a big difference?

[@KarenRiceArt]

you could use acrylic for highlights. I wouldn’t use it on the whole flower. I find the difference between and Watercolour is acrylic is opaque. You also also get a bit of a shine on the surface. It is a good alternative to creating highlights at the end of the painting though. Hope this was helpful.

[@jeannetteleonard257]

@@KarenRiceArt Thank you for that information, especially about the shine, I hadn't thought of that. Will give a try with the highlights and see how it comes out.
