I always forget to grab brusho when getting supplies until i see it being used 😝

[@KarenRiceArt]

It’s fabulous to use 😊

[@fuzzydragons]

its on my amazon wishlist, so if it comes down in price on prime day, its going to be really hard not to buy it lol

[@ConchiBelvis]

Great results!! Would love to attend one of your retreats…any chance you will be sponsoring a retreat in Spain in 2025? I know you have one coming up this year, but I would not be able to attend. Thanks!!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you 😊 The locations for 2025 haven’t been confirmed just yet but I’ll keep everyone posted.

[@Maliika-Art1979]

😍😍😍

[@suzt7076]

Great combination of effects, but the one thing I was looking for from the title, as the only techniques I wasn’t familiar with, wasn’t in it, lol. Brush or something? I’m assuming that is another way of getting the effect you did with the watercolour pencils and sandpaper? I love your videos but it does my head in hearing how some English folks pronounce gouache.

[@KarenRiceArt]

I discussed brusho early in the tutorial about the two minute mark. Hope this was helpful.
