Very beautiful painting

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much 😀

[@keepingourhome7271]

Perfect! Totally love the effect of the light pen strokes, broken lines, etc. In my opinion, much more artistic than solid lines being used. Solved my conundrum on how to not have such a cartoon-y look with pen and wash. Thank you.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you very much! So pleased you found this helpful!

Thank you 😀

[@lindathaxton1994]

Love this pen & wash ! It was sooo much fun to do & pleasing to the eye. Thanks for sharing your time & expertise.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much Linda really pleased you like this tutorial :-)

[@barbaragemin5117]

Thanks Karen. The most valuable part of this demo, for me anyway, is to see from the photo just how you alter and simplify a reference to make the painting more interesting. It’s a constant obstacle for me and maybe others, to look at a photo, especially one with masses of greenery, and think where on earth do I start, and how will I represent undergrowth, shrubbery etc. In a word, simplification.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Glad it was helpful Barbara! So pleased you found this helpful, especially how I simplified the photo etc... I think lots of practice and sketching really helps. Try not to feel you need to paint everything. That's why I love the Impressionist painters... the way they simplified nature. The most important thing is to have fun! Thank you again 😊

[@philipdown3147]

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks so much Susan! Really pleased you liked the pen and wash and tips on developing your own style - Yeah 😊

[@catherinegill2488]

Thank you Karen. Lots of helpful advice - good reminder about how to create depth even though the topic was pen and wash! I love pen and wash and somehow seem more disciplined with the "less is more" approach when I use it. Still struggling not to overwork when using water colour on its own. I think it's the desire to make the painting look like something that pushes me to rush, not waiting for things to dry or adding too much colour in one wash! With pen and wash, the pen outline reassures me that the painting will come together so I can relax and take my time. Still going to keep trying though!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you for your wonderful comment Catherine and for sharing your experience. I love pen and wash, because it does have that element of safety! I hope you have fun painting this one... it is so much fun

[@dixiedrost4783]

[@EnjoyDrawingwithMary]

Hi Karen! I loved this tutorial! I use pen in almost every of my watercolor illustrations - that's the way they look the best to me and you could say that is my style ;) I would love to paint more of landscapes but my favorites are fantasy art so I would probably add some misterious gateway in this forest :D :D Thank you for sharing this wonderful and inspirational work :) have a nice day! :)

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much! I love the idea of adding a mysterious gateway!😊

[@EnjoyDrawingwithMary]

Thank you too!

[@maureenobrien3250]

Hi Karen you have nice flare for sketching.! I copied old master's, Turner Van Gogh Monal Lisa etc.. People know they from them. So copy it to learn but not the same size..and sign your name. If you copy it and its the same size and you sign their name try to sell it thats forgery! Dont copy and sign their name.. I always tell people i copied old masters to learn. Now i am learning skill tech..by you and tips on teaching which i tell my students.. So we all thank you from the states!

[@KarenRiceArt]

That is wonderful Maureen. I think you can learn so much from other artists. I hope you and your students enjoy the tips and techniques on my channel! 😊

[@marialunatorres7581]

Where do you sell your art?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Hi Mary, yes I do sell my art at local exhibitions etc... Due to covid unfortunately not so much. Hopefully I will be able to resume selling my work. Hope you are enjoying the channel :)

[@alvirosy]

Problem is, I think I can never draw. I enjoyed the video though, just so relaxing listening to your explanation while watching the tutorial. Thanks! 💐

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much 😀

[@bristolgrandparentssupport6343]

is there a way of getting rid of the subtitles as they are obscuring the pictures?

Hi, just click CC on your screen :)

@@KarenRiceArt Thank you.

[@elkemariariesen]

After one year painting I think that my one style comes out. I promised a friend painting calendulas, but I failed 😣. After three attempts it got better. I went away from natural to more artificial painting and was very happy with it. Such a pity that I can’t post it here. 🤷‍♀️

[@KarenRiceArt]

That is a pity! Thank you for sharing Elke, so good to know that you are happy with your work now!

[@vallopez4573]

Hola, me encantan tus tutoriales, pero me cuesta mucho seguirte, podrías activar los subtítulos en castellano? Lo agradecería mucho y me encantaría aún más. Muchas gracias

[@KarenRiceArt]

¡Gracias! Intentaré activar los subtítulos en español para todos mis futuros tutoriales. Espero que los disfrutes. Gracias por la sugerencia :)

[@maureenobrien3250]

I have never had lessons until now

[@KarenRiceArt]

Yeah! Hope you are enjoying your lessons Maureen :)

[@jennyferrier3220]

Hi Karen, good advice, thanks. Is your watercolour paper (pad)stretched.? Or do you use the framing for your border and stretching.I’ve been battling with gummed tape ,hard to remove from the finished work.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Hi Jenny, pleased you found this helpful. Thank you for your question. I am using a watercolour block and framing tape which is like masking tape. I don't use gummed tape anymore to stretch my paper. I will either paint smaller, get heavier paper or used paper on block, to avoid buckling. Hope this was helpful :)
