How To Paint Loose Easy Hibiscus Flowers In Watercolour

[@Rumi1028]

Wow thats a beautiful Hibiscus and you captured their beauty - thanks

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you too!

[@brennerfineart]

wow - i always admired the watercolour artists...it`s like "one try" and you only know afterwards if you succed or fail (and you really did succeed)!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much, so nice of you to say :)

[@ftdt13]

This is exactly the style of painting with watercolor that I'm looking for and so beautiful! I'll try to paint it. Thanks so much, dear Karen!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Wonderful! Have fun! :)

[@tiklingrikit]

super!!! what an expressive, passionate interpretation done with masterful control. thank you.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you very much!

[@jennywren6655]

Oh wow, you truly show how the water is the key medium here and creates depth, wonderful to see, thank you !

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Jenny so much for your comment! I am glad you have found the video useful in how the water is so key! :)

[@eileenthomas9983]

I’m sitting isolated at home because of the Covid19 situation and your demonstrations are inspiring to me. Thank you.💐💐

Hi Eileen, I am so happy that my demonstrations are inspiring you! These are strange and difficult times at the moment! Take care and let's hope this is over soon :)

I love watercolor because it is so unpredictable and love the way the paint moves in the water. No other medium is comparable.

[@KarenRiceArt]

I totally agree! It is the most creative medium! :)

[@biancacao3493]

Love the painting. Love your patience explaining the technique. Thank you for sharing.

[@KarenRiceArt]

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Iris, so glad you like my style of teaching! Take care :)

[@ritaharker4466]

Oh gosh, I am amazed when I see just how loose you manage keep your painting, the way you let the water almost dictate the way the whole thing is going depending on where you drop your paint. I know for certain that I would end up tightening up the whole piece by totally overworking it and losing all the spontaneity of the early layers. Huge respect to you xx

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Rita for your great comment! So glad you like the video, this way of painting is definitely a way of loosening up when you’re painting in watercolour, and yes the water does dictate! Happy painting :-)

[@IsleofWightBushcraft]

That’s lovely Karen, very fluid and organic.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you! :)

I love your very wet on wet process. I'd have yo change out my work surface to flat, otherwise I'd have lots of drips...LOL. I work on a slight slant. I'd love to try this, tho. It looks so delicious.

Thanks Judy for your comments, so glad that you like the wet on wet process. I think it is a good idea to work flat when you’re working very wet. Take care :-)

[@debbiemacrae3609]

So pretty! Do u recommend doing this with fresh paint from the tube or is it ok to rewet it from the palette?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Debbie for your question. I usually use paint straight from the tube. If you rewet, spray your paints a good hour before hand to give them a chance to moisten up and easier to use. Hope this was helpful :)

I'm such a perfectionist so it's going to be a challenge to let go and use this technique, but I'll give it a shot!
