Atmospheric Abstract Watercolour Seascape Tutorial

[@moralboundaries1]

It's fascinating to me how watching you paint in so much more enjoyable than simply viewing the finished piece. The way you apply your techniques and react to the chaotic nature of the flow of pigment and water on the paper is so beautiful in itself. What you're doing is really wonderful.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much 😊

[@KIREGREBRON]

I have painted for many years. For me, it doesn't matter how you create something beautiful; this painting is an example. I love everything about it. And, thank you for sharing your technique. This painting is so beautiful, with so much atmosphere. Thanks again! ❤🙏

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much Erik!

[@cmwHisArtist]

Beautiful job, good narration. Thanks. Viva makes a really good, absorbent, pure white paper towel that is completely smooth with no embossment to cause an imprint, and it’s great for lifting water or color directly off the paper.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks so much for sharing!

Mashaallah ❤️ Such a beautiful drawing 🌹 Fantastic artwork 👌like this 👍

[@rebekkabirgirsdottir2137]

You’ve made me love watercolor again. I forgot how free it can be. I’m gonna get back into it but some of the videos I’ve watched make it so intimidating. Thank you for this.

I'm so glad Rebecca that this has inspired you! Thank you!

[@KarenRiceArt]

@@LoisDavidsonArt That's so sweet of you to say! KZbin has really helped me this passed year. I stopped teaching my students last March! I thought it would only be for a few weeks. I have really missed teaching face to face... but the interaction with people that love painting on youtube has been a lifesaver and has kept me sane!! 😊

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

@@KarenRiceArt I know what you mean, we are so lucky to have painting to help us all through these strange times... Thank goodness for the internet and KZbin etc! x

Hello Karen so amazing I paint it but the result was not as yours ...it was pleasant to paint and I like it ...I used quinacridone gold and with turquoise it turned fastly greenish ...I would try it with burnt sienna ...thanks from France .

Hi Karen, I painted this stunning beautiful painting today. I only started to learn the painting at the end of Feb. Luckily I found your channel, I watch it every day, so much techniques I learnt from you. I couldn’t believe in a such short period, I can now do a such beautiful painting. Thank you so so much! ! You are a wonderful tutor, guide me to a simple and easy way. I wish I can show you my work. :)

It looks absolutly fantastic. I loved watching your process and forming out this beauty! Well, I guess first of all, I have to get over my fear messing it all up totally. Using an old painting or a bad one its a good idea, takes away the pressure of the must producing something good. Thank you dear Karen, for you lively and VERY helpful tutorials😍💕

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much! I am so glad that you are enjoying the tutorials. It’s worth painting on the back of an oil painting to build up the confidence. Hope you have fun painting this one.

I like your paintings in this video. So beautiful, full of atmosphere and emotion and beautiful shapes. This art - such a beauty. It looks intentional, yet loose and expressive, it still seems like you know what you are doing, composition is very nice too. I find composition is the most important in abstracts as you don't have any definite shapes to distract your eye, so it becomes even more important.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much! So pleased you like the atmosphere and shapes. I totally agree with you about the composition, thank you for sharing that ... 😀
