How To Paint Sheep In Snow Watercolour Painting Tutorial Using Just 3 Colours!

[@mysticmungus]

I loved your tutorial, so uncomplicated and when I tried it myself it turned out really well. Thank you very much.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Great to hear! Thank you Nicky 😀

[@berylrose3213]

I’ve watched you paint this gorgeous picture of the sheep several times, and It’s soo lovely. The sheep look almost real, and so contented. Bless you.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Beryl! 😀

[@StarlingOpal]

Really enjoyed this tutorial. I am a beginner and love snow scenes. You demonstrated perfectly. Than you

[@sianjones9710]

I am so pleased I found this. I am a real beginner and sometimes struggle to find pictures I feel I can copy reasonably well while at the same time learning some new techniques. This fitted the bill perfectly and I am delighted with my first attempt. I am now going to try out different background colours. Thank you so much for the clear and informative tutorial.

[@KarenRiceArt]

You are so welcome!

I just did this as a card, I can’t get over how beautiful it came out. Thank you so much!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Wonderful!Happy painting!

[@vikkibyington3066]

Love this so much. I would love to do some spiritual natured cards for the sick and homebound in my church or anyone I feel could be encouraged by these. For this one the scripture popped into my head, “My sheep hear my voice and another they will not follow”. It could be changed in the background according to the seasons or just by using something that went well with it. I also, thought of the lost sheep and Jesus leaving the 99 to find him. It could be tweaked to show a set of hoof prints headed in the wrong direction toward an embankment. I realize this is not for everyone and honestly it just hit me as you were wrapping this up. My biggest problem is the printing of the brief referral or sentiment. I also want to do Santa….the old Coca Cola Santa! Santa is the spirit of joy and giving which I love….also I love Coca Cola, but sadly am diabetic. Thankful for Coke Zero. Have a Happy New Year Karen! Looking forward to learning more from you. Thanks for listening to me ramble. Vikki from NE Tennessee. 💜🙏🏻🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄 🐑

[@marlenejones6266]

I have another painting with snow in it. I see shadows and thought oh my they are so dark but now I see the why of it. I cannot wait to try tomorrow. Well maybe on Friday after Thanksgiving here in the states. Tomorrow is baking and makin side dishes. Yet my heart is being pulled to the art table in my room. I thank you for the hard work you put into these videos for us to learn and enjoy. You are the best

I've been watching your shorts for a couple of weeks now. Two days ago I bought my first in 25 years watercolour paints and had a little accident with my first in 25 years brushes. :-) I'm definitely going to try and paint this picture. I have a beginner kit I guess, including a watercolour sketchbook. Thanks a lot for this beautiful tutorial!

[@gailmooney7506]

This turned out beautifully! No matter how many times I painted this they all turned out differently. I switched up cotton paper makers and switched up paint brands. Isn't water colour a marvelous medium!

[@KarenRiceArt]

It truly is Gail! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@judethfenton5978]

I've never tried this technique but it struck me how effective that could be as Northern Lights with a tweak of the colours. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks for your amazing tutorial.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks Judeth! I will be interested how it turns out?

[@debrabartman6749]

I’m interested in seeing your version with the northern lights.

[@mtnviewpottery]

I love this painting so much! I’m a handspinner and I love sheep! I’m new to watercolor and this is basically a lifelong desire. I look forward to following you!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much Jan (that must be amazing!) I love sheep too! Have fun on your watercolour journey 😀

[@ashleystanley4624]

Karen, this painting gave me so much joy! I am planning to paint a red barn in the snow and I will be using a lot of these technique ideas with a different color palette for that painting. I am trying to work on my dry brushing techniques because I love the texture that it adds, but I struggle to get a strong enough color because I put my tube colors into wells and let them dry off. Once I re-wet them, it is hard to get enough pigment on the brush without the brush being too wet. Trying to find the right balance. Your content is so inspiring for me and gives me courage to try new things.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much Ashley! A really good tip for paint that has dried...spray it about an hour before you start painting, it moistens the paint and you will get more paint on your brush and help with the dry brush technique! Hope this was helpful! Happy painting 😀

[@ashleystanley4624]

@@KarenRiceArt that is wonderful! Thank you! I will try that tonight.

[@ashleystanley4624]

@@KarenRiceArt I can report that I tried your suggestion tonight of spraying my drying paint an hour ahead of time to rewet it so I could dry brush, and it worked brilliantly! Thank you so much! As a teacher myself (English Literature, not art), I must say you are a true teacher madam. Thank you!

[@needle.thread.watercolor-jloh]
