[@susanamer7904]

Dear karen , i love this and am going to try your techniques for sure. What i love about you karen is that whenever i tune in to watch one of your tutorials is that you always give easy to understand tips and techniques and you sound so passionate about helping us all , it's priceless. Its great the way you show us how to build up the scene with tonal values, lights , darks , details 😊You are a wonderful teacher . You always make us feel at ease and you are all about helping us to improve our painting 👍I think i try too hard and rush to get it all on the paper first but you have showed us to relax and layer up and most of all have fun 😊

Love it, thank you for all your explanation during the process. Makes me think I can do this. Have a great week and thank you again for sharing.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you! You too!

[@catepearce2138]

@@KarenRiceArt hi, going to try again because I used Paynes Grey with my limited skills resulting in a scene that looked like Post Pompeii Apocalypse! Not a restful misty scene 🤣. Thanks for your inspiration, I will keep trying 😁

[@daninemilligan4689]

Really like this and will definitely try to paint it.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Have fun!

[@pattymcclung3300]

Gorgeous! I want to try this with Moonglow. Thank you!

[@Bearwithme560]

Exactly what l was going to do, especially as l have quite a lot of it.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Go for it!

[@janebridge1325]

This is such a useful reminder of the basics with flat washes, Karen - loaded with great tips as always. Thank you so much! :))

[@KarenRiceArt]

You are so welcome!

Now if someone pots a Queen Anne's Lace Plant into a pot as a model to paint, remember it is the host plant for A black Eastern Swallow Tail Butterfly! If you keep it on your porch a butterfuly will likely lay an egg or two and you'll get to observe the Eggs hatch, the caterpillars eat the plant and then become a Chrysalis, then into a butterfly! I raise Monarch's -- can you tell, LOL Wonderful Lesson; thanks again!

[@maryannegunter115]

Wow that's impressive! I love Monarchs and they love my zinnias!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[@dianeuranowski3694]

@@maryannegunter115 God bless you for providing nectar for all pollinators; I meant to plant Zinnias those this year but I forgot They are beautiful! ! This has been a terrible year Weather-wise, a late frost threw off the timing of blooming flowers, and there has been a terrible drought. I'm sorry to say that I have seen ONE Monarch Butterfly, and colleted only three Caterpillars -- I should have at least 300 by now. I think the Great Migration may collapse this year. Say a Prayer for them, and for US - for they are the canary in the Coal Mine!

New subbie here! Thankyou for this beautiful tutorial 💖 💕

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks for subbing! Really pleased you enjoy this tutorial.

[@sarahnorthrop9823]

Dreamy 😊💖

[@Hagar_le_Horrible]

Hi, maybe use mars black in the background, get that nice texture too.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Great suggestion!

[@Hagar_le_Horrible]

Granulation was the word I was looking for.

[@pitscoop]

Karen i am having trouble with tape ripping my paper…what kind/brand of framing tape do you use? Thank you so much for your videos, I LOVE them!

[@KarenRiceArt]

I love using washi tape, it’s quite gentle to the watercolour paper.

[@brendadewet2606]

An interesting exercise. I'd like to know if your paper is on a board ?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you 😊 I used a Winsor& Newton watercolour paper 300gm 10 x 14 inches. It helps with keeping the painting from buckling. Hope that helps?

[@vanessalynch7985]

Beautiful. I can’t find this on your patreon. Not sure why

[@debbieretzlaff2912]

How do you sharpen your paint brush?

[@KarenRiceArt]

With a pencil sharpener.

Hoping it is cow parsley not the evil hog weed that causes burns and blisters 😮
