How would you do people in a warmer scene where people are wearing shorts, dresses, swimming wear?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Great suggestion for a future tutorial!

[@rhondam883]

I would love to see a tutorial on people on the beach. This helps me greatly on painting people. Thank you so much

[@KarenRiceArt]

Great suggestion!

[@krislozano0703]

I used this tutorial and had them in the beach. I think it came out great. 😊

[@thepenelopejones]

I think it's going to take a ton of practice before my *blobs* look anything like humans, but your light strokes have inspired me to keep trying Karen, thank you so much

[@deannamunro8148]

lol - me too - we should have a 12 step group for blob painters!

[@defyant1]

Oh YES, MORE please! No one else is teaching this...yes people on the beach with chairs etc.

[@paulineshelley4421]

Thanks so much for this! It’s very helpful to start in a simple random way. I would also like to see a beach scene tutorial, where people are in deck chairs, playing ball, digging in the sand etc. The perspective is the hardest part for me.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Great suggestion!

[@maryannegunter115]

How would you paint a herd of horses, running away from the viewer, with this technique?

[@KarenRiceArt]

I haven't tried a herd of horses...great suggestion.

[@RonSayre]

I just love this loose approach to painting figures! Can’t wait to try this today! Your channel is my favorite, Karen. Thank you for your great instruction. 👍

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much Ron! Really pleased you liked this approach to painting figures. I hope you have fun painting figures!

[@carolebritain9668]

That was an excellent tutorial! I’m probably still going to be afraid to draw people in this manner but at least now I have something to refer to! 14:14

[@pennythedomelady]

Thank you for this! Makes it look entirely possible to add people, which until now had seemed so scary!

[@KarenRiceArt]

I know what you mean Penny, so pleased you found this helpful 😊

[@saritaschwedes8393]

how fun to learn this! and it will be great fun to practice practice! thank you🌸

[@deeanncross7674]

Very valuable tutorial. For a crowd, everyone's head is near the horizon line and head and body sizes vary from there. Also heads are quite small compared to body size. Thanks for this tutorial.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AddLoveTM126]

So Very Creative, Concise; and Fun!🎉🎨👩‍🎨👏🏼Thanks Love!❤ I just Subscribed!👍🏻🥰

[@wendyschlegel5031]

I' missed answering your question during the live tutorial. I live in central Massachusetts in a tiny town called North Brookfield. It is in the county of Worcester. There are just under 5,000 people that live here. There aren't any stop lights. We have 5 churches. One of each of the following: Morman, Catholic, Congregational. Episcopal and a Baptist Church. We have 1 factory in town that makes the Vibram soles for military boots. I think it's the only factory in America the makes them. Finally, we just got our first gas station in town. We had one in the 70's that my uncle owned. He was 100% Scottish. I hope this wasn't too much information. I love my town. I grew up here. Also, I enjoyed this tutorial very much.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Your town sounds amazing! I am not surprised. you love it! Thank you for sharing Wendy and I am so pleased you enjoyed the tutorial💕

Im trying to switch from more realistic paintings to sketching/loose ideas of things but it is soo hard for me :D! Thank you for this. Also, for a couple of minutes around 5:00 I could not take my eyes off that lady that appeared in mixing pallet, or is it just me?:D

[@KarenRiceArt]

I hope you have fun trying… I just took a look at 5 mins in and I see her! 😊

[@KarenRiceArt]

You're so welcome!

[@timothywilliams8907]

I'm just beginning to get started in painting in watercolors. Tips like this will definitely help me out when I get to the point where I am going to be doing actual paintings for hanging up on a wall in my house. I have a pad of watercolor paper to do nothing but practice exercises on. Once I get to the point later on where I feel comfortable with my work, then I'll be doing a few to actually get frames to put them in .

[@KarenRiceArt]

Glad this was helpful. Happy painting 😊🎨

[@AnaAlcaine-Young]

Great info but it would help if you slowed down a bit.
