The background is incredibly inspirational :)

[@fionafrazer8820]

Not sure how I missed this one-gorgeous!

[@KarenRiceArt]

I loved painting the snowdrops Fiona! I think I liked painting the background more than the flowers! I hope you have fun painting them! 😀

[@simonemarlow66]

My favourite snowdrops. Beautiful. I also would love to watch a tutorial of painting them in the snow.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much Simone for your lovely comments so pleased that you liked the snowdrops. I will try to paint something similar in the snow in the near future hopefully… Happy painting :-)

Thank you ! 👍❤️

[@KarenRiceArt]

You're welcome 😊

[@mckeich]

That is so beautiful. I always admire your technique from the dropping geeks to the paintings of the snowdrops. It’s not as easy as you make it look, but it’s good to try. Best watercolour channel on KZbin. Request: a busy garden overladen with colour. My wife wants me to paint ours! Help.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much! That’s really kind of you to say… I will try to find a garden scene that your wife might like… Happy painting :-)

So beautiful Karen! My snowdrops are just starting to emerge from the ground. Love that Green Apatite Genuine color from Daniel Smith! I use it all the time. I also love that you list substitute colors in case we don’t have the ones you mentioned! Love watching you paint!

[@marybirder5663]

As usual, you did a great job, Karen! Would it be possible to do Queen Anne's Lace aka Cow Parsley with salt and watercolors? I know you would do these amazing flowers so well. Thank you!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much Mary! That sounds like a wonderful idea! Watch this space...Happy painting :)

[@lindahelliar7021]

Love this, do you think this technique would work on a watercolour canvas I never tried this before on a canvas.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you for your question Linda, to be honest I have not used a watercolour canvas! So wouldn't like to say? Sorry :)

[@xelnan95]

What kind of W&N white gouache do you use: zinc white or permanent white?

[@KarenRiceArt]

I am using permanent White.

[@triciabennetts6578]

Hi Karen - could you tell me why you used hot pressed paper here please, instead of the usual cold pressed? And would the outcome be very different using cold pressed? Thankyou 😄

[@KarenRiceArt]

Hi Tricia, I used hot pressed paper because you can get more finer details. Hope this was helpful :)

[@colorpallette7371]

First to like and comment Karen. ❤️

[@angelacampion8709]

Just watched this karen and it's the first time I've seen you with the tissue paper. Do you do that most of the time? X

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you for your question Angela. I don't use the kitchen towel in this way, but thought it would be useful for those wanting to control the amount of paint on their brush. I have been used to wiping my brush on the side of my water pot to control the liquid on my brush. Hope this was helpful :)

[@angelacampion8709]

@@KarenRiceArt yes thank you, I tend to wipe my brush on the back of my hand lol! X
