What a beautiful painting! Love the colors. 😍I was watching this video because I would like to know how best to paint the trunk of a tree. I struggle with that every time. I think I'm being too precise. I want to do it just like in the picture. And that's my biggest problem. Hope you have a tip for me. Thank you so much, Karin.

Another beautiful painting, Karen. It is breathtaking. Quite the loveliest watercolor painting I have ever seen. Thanks so much for showing us how.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much Sally! What a lovely comment!

[@labtrainer09]

Absolutely stunning! And very helpful: Using the care to enhance the rough, varied texture in the tree trunks was brilliant, as was turning the painting upside down to put in the many smaller branches. Thank you.

[@KarenRiceArt]

[@deborahrech7429]

What a beautiful exercise in working with values by limiting the painting to 2 colors!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank yo so much Deborah! It's so helpful to use a limited palette :)

[@halinaopala7489]

So beautiful , and I like your description Karen. Thank you.

[@amusunkhe5017]

I love your way of teaching - I’ve just started painting a couple of months ago and haven’t used masking fluid yet though I have it. I will be grateful if you could explain how to put it on and take it off🙏🏼

[@KarenRiceArt]

Wonderful! Thank you so much! Check out this video I made where I discuss about putting on and removing masking fluid. I hope you find it helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJykgYeJnrWsh6M :)

[@amusunkhe5017]

Thank you so much for that quick reply 🙏🏼😊

[@sophiekotomski4588]

Loved this and how simply beautiful you teach. I’ve not had success masking. Can you demonstrate placing and removal of masking?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Sophie! Check out this video, I show how to put on masking fluid and remove it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJykgYeJnrWsh6M, hope you find it useful! :)

Really pretty Karen. Love how that little twig makes beautiful fine lines for branches. Happy Fall 🍁🌻🌙

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Pam! So pleased you liked the twig technique! Happy Fall to you too! 🍂

[@Mr.S65]

Lovely painting. Could you use the sponge to paint the leaves that have fallen to the ground?

[@barbarawest1914]

Beautiful, Karen! I love the golden lights you preserved! I have burnt umber, but not quinacridone gold. What would be some alternatives for QG? Thanks!

[@KarenRiceArt]

You could use Raw Sienna 😊

[@joandrews8438]

beautiful colours, will be starting on this one today. Can I make a request for a monochrome winter scene I enjoy trying all your tutorials, and want to try something that I might be able to get printed up as my christmas card for this year. Fingers crossed, and thanks Karen for making this so accessible.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Jo and great suggestion!! Watch this space :)

[@Nenni100]

This is fantastic! All the value that you can get from only 2 colors. How long it take you to make that painting?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much Annie, the painting took me about 90 minutes to paint :)

[@Nenni100]

Thank you for the answer. It's an information that I like to have, it help me evaluate what can be reasonably attainable. I know that video always make it seem faster.

[@boohewitt5708]

I like this very much. I have one question though Karen, how do you manage to retain so much paint on your sharpened twig? When I try it, I find it's not worth doing because I have to go backwards and forwards to the palette so often

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you! I think the more you use the twig, the less you have to go back and forth. Make sure you load it in a puddle of paint, that seems to help

[@triciabennetts6578]

Hi Karen, will you be making the longer version of this available on ‘patreon’?
