Abstract Loose Watercolour Painting To Get You Started!

[@beatrixkogler8938]

Its so lovely, love the loose ways your paint using all kind of things :)). And I loved the Gold in your picture. I use gold in nearly every picture I paint :D. I use special watercolour iridescent colors from a German company named Kremer Pegmente. Their gold is nearly opaque, its name is star gold. It is simply awesome and so much shining, I'm always so much thrilled whenever I use it. It makes me happy and giggling, seeing it - such a strange effect this gold has on me🙈😂. Anyway, I do love all your loose painting a LOT, helps me to loosen up a bit too :)))) Thanks dear Karen. I love you tutorials so much❣❣❣❣

[@thuytienlives8487]

Tthank you for showing us how you made this painting! It looks beautiful, and I liked the variety of techniques, such as using salt, spraying water, painting grass by using a twig and scraping paint with a card. This is eye opening, and so helpful. Take care of yourself!❤

[@sarahnorthrop9823]

Love this Karen 💖 I love using gold and have used gold watercolour in a few paintings it's beautiful and adds a lovely shimmer and a warm light. I have to stop myself getting carried away and addng too much 😆

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks so much 😊 I know what you mean about the gold!

[@antiochfoxlake7]

Love this semi abstract so much. Your addition of gold AI is brilliant. I have my inks put away as I got sick smelling the rubbing alcohol that I used. I will give it a go and be very careful not to splatter. 🎨

[@KarenRiceArt]

I hope you have fun painting in the style, using your alcohol, inks :-)

[@sarahbratty5931]

❤❤❤this.. you're abstract paintings are literally my favorite!!! ..and ..so many "yummy" techniques.. ❤it!!!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much 😀

[@NoChybaNieBardzo]

Dear Karen, I like it when the water flows - just like you. However, I would probably have to paint over the sink (if not over the bathtub😉) so as not to worry about splashing the surface and not spoil the fun by frantically looking for a tissue or a towel... That's why I started using "mattress underlays for people lying down and for children" A simple piece of material that does not leak and it absorbs - it works like a reusable cloth diaper! There are also foundations packed in several pieces, which are disposable. I recommend to everyone! Thank you very much, Karen, especially for being the only one who can inspire me so much that despite relapses of depression I can grab a brush🥹🫡

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much for sharing that really helpful information. I must say it is a good idea to have your painting over a sink when doing this though… I’m so pleased that this helps you with your depression. Painting can be so therapeutic. Take care😊

[@margiepetersen181]

I absolutely love the colors that you choose. They are not the same as the picture. How do you decide what colors to select instead?

[@KarenRiceArt]

I choose the colours that inspire me. I love these cool blues.

With alcohol inks you can reactivate it with alcohol.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Of course… Thank you for reminding me :-)

[@shontellehackett-vanderkro7908]

Also good for cleaning alcohol ink off of brushes

[@maryannconklin7231]

What kind of salt are you using? What does the salt do?

[@KarenRiceArt]

[@jiranma]

Just something which I thought I'll bring up. Even though I was subscribed and was seeing your videos recommended during that time, it has totally fallen off. I don't know what KZbin changed but yeah, am not seeing your videos being recommended. I had to search for your channel in order to check if you've got new videos. I know you're not the only creator that has this issue, but tis frustrating and really not a good thing. Google/KZbin...sigh~~~

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much for letting me know. I didn’t know that? I will check it out :-)
