Just fabulous ! Many thanks Karen for sharing this!

[@KarenRiceArt]

My pleasure 😊

[@chrischurchley7003]

Brilliant Karen - you will be fully booked any minute! I will definitely do this one as I can’t make the “live” experience! Your rocks and the sunlight on them are so effective; not too much manic wet in wet so quite relaxing too 👏🙏😘

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much Chris. You will be missed in Spain! Really pleased you like the light on the rocks. I enjoyed using the card to create the rocks… I hope have fun painting this one!🎨😊💕

[@maureenknight3863]

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much 😊

[@katemcallister2403]

Thank you for all your guidance re: painting in watercolor especially letting us know when to allow our paintings to dry! Many artists don’t do that. Your tips are so helpful.

Thank you so much 😊

[@DeanMD77]

Beautiful painting. I was just wondering why you chose to paint the rocks wet on dry but when you did the water you did wet on wet? Was it so your colors would stay away from the dry rocks? I’m very much a beginner and your paintings are so helpful.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you. Wet in dry you get hard edges. Wet on wet soft edges.

[@janenuth3259]

Hi Karen on your pattern are these tutorials made at a slower pace as I love the way you teach. Thank you.

[@charlestonscnative9083]

I believe it's at a slower pace on Patreon.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you! Just to let you know you can slow down videos on KZbin, this video will show you how:kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYbcnoChidWGmdksi=Y5sWppwinvlU4nep

Air dryer is probably a good option to accelerate progress

[@KarenRiceArt]

Yes absolutely. 😊

[@95lovi]

Watercoloring has alot to do with a loose dynamic wrist movement

[@maryannconklin7231]

What dark color or mixture are you using on the rocks that you are swiping with the card?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Ultramarine, Red and Paynes Grey 🎨

[@kerbear829]

Do you wash your watercolor palettes in between paintings?

[@KarenRiceArt]

I do most times yes.
