This is such a lovely painting, Karen! I love that you included so much technical content in it in such a short time frame. It is easy to follow and the end result is wonderful. I think the addition of the people really added to the painting and I get a calm and cozy feeling looking at it 😊. I am a beginning watercolorist so this will be a wonderful painting for me to practice those techniques. I will definitely give it a go by the weekend and see how I do 😀 thanks so much! 💕
Me too !😊
Thank you so much! I am really pleased you found the technical content helpful and liked the addition of the people. Have fun painting this this weekend!
Just found you Karen fab tutorial 🥳🥳
I just found you Karen.
I love the way you teach . You make everything look so easy.
I will definitely try to follow your lessons.
Your painting is beautiful ❤😊
The card making the rocks actually made me gasp once you said what you were doing and I realized. Amazing!
Thank you 😊
The rocks were impressive and the hardest part I had to do for myself!
My eyes popped out when you made those rocks with the card. That's a trick I haven't seen. Thanks!
Interesting how Karen's teaching style is no nonsense. Some tutors really go around the houses to tell you things😂
What a lovely painting. It always amazes me that suddenly the painting becomes clear. Just those few details make all the difference.
Karen, thank you so much for this tutorial! I started watercolour painting literally 2 days ago. Am going through few tutorials here and there. And nobody could explain technical details for beginners like you did. Thank you!!!
This is so instructive and makes me think I could actually achieve such a painting myself as a complete novice. Thank you Karen
Thank you Hayley, so glad I his has been helpful 😀
What a gorgeous painting, every tree, rock, splatter are the stars of this painting. With each one of your tutorials, I learn so much, and you have so much to teach us!!. Thank you Karen for being such a wonderful teacher and for your desire to share your knowledge with us. ❤
The best tutorial for showing all of the many techniques regularly used by watercolorists. Showing them in action is very helpful for beginners and advanced students alike. Thank you for the concise help and refresher course. Love the picture too!
I am so pleased you found this helpful!
Genius, great painter, great teacher, magical accent. I can listen to you all day. Love ya
Thanks so much 😊
This is a favorite! Love the addition of the people.
Thank you 😊
This was totally AMAZING to watch - seeing every paint stroke come to life. You taught me so much in 16 minutes. THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Thank you Kelle 😀
I‘m following you for years! You are such a great teacher. Every single word makes sense. After three I‘m now at a point where I’m getting more successful with my own attempts. Thank you so much, Karen.
I’m so glad! Thank you so much for sharing 😊
Thank you, Karen. I'm so glad you didn't show us the painting before you began using your imagination. I truly love to watch it only from a blank canvas / paper, seeing it all come together in it's process. I guess it's more clear to me that way. I hate seeing the end before I receive the gifts of your wonderful imagination and technique. It came out so beautiful. xxx
Wow! Thank you!! 😀
Thank you so much for including the info about paper towel dabbing! It took me 9 months on my watercolor journey before I realized the necessity of this technique. (And even then, my frugal self resisted "wasting" all that paint!) You have helped me and many others with your careful discussion of this and other techniques in this video!
I am so pleased this was helpful Penny. Thank you for sharing your experience with us all here 😊
Some teachers are so good, it's religious That painting is gorgeous.Thank you.!
Thank you 😊
An amazing tutorial! You've covered so many techniques in one video making it easy to understand. I've learned so much. As watercolor teachers go.. you are one of the best!💖
Wow! Thank you Michelle! So pleased you learn so much from this tutorial 😊
Incredible Karen - everything you need to know in one very beautiful painting! Huge thanks 🙏- fantastic tutorial 👏
Thank you so much Chris 😊
Karen, this is simply beautiful! You never cease to amaze me with the ease that create such lovely paintings. As stated many times in these comments, I find you to be an excellent teacher and I have learned SOOOOO much from you. Thanks so much for sharing and educating us! Cheers!
Thank you so much Trina for your lovely comment!
You are an AMAZING teacher, Karen. Your videos are packed full of techniques and I love the way you taught us to paint people. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you! The limited colour palette work you publish is much easier for me to follow, as a colour-vision impaired hobby artist. Excellent stuff.
So pleased the limited palette was helpful! Thank you ☺
A beautiful winter painting! Practicing water control. And the addition of the people! Ty
Thank you 😊
What a delightful demo with a LOT of techniques included. Thank you Karen!
You are so welcome!
😍😍😍this tutorial is a masterclass . Lllllllllloooooovvveeee it. It has so many precious pieces of advice. I haven’t seen any artist explaining so well so whole heartedly as you do. Much grateful. Stay blessed dear Karen
Thank you so much! I’m so pleased you enjoyed this tutorial and found it helpful. 😊
Hi Karen! This is probably the best tutorial I have ever watched. Thank you! I loved how this painting was made through immigration and not necessarily drawing. I really liked that you showed us how to mix those two colours and watched them transform, and now I finally learned how to draw in people! Wow! Again, thank you for this tutorial! Greetings from Canada! 😊
Greetings Liliana in Canada… so pleased you liked this tutorial, thank you!!! 😊
This is so pretty I'm in awe especially of the little details of snow on the branches of the trees!
Thank you so much!
What a great tutorial. A big bonus is your speaking voice! So many of these tutorials have dreadful monotonous or squeaky or whiney voices that I can't bear to listen! And your explanations are so clear. Thank you. I am grateful to have discovered you!
Thanks so much! 😊
So grateful for a simple description of watercolor painting!
Glad it was helpful!
Karen I just encountered your channel and I’m so grateful 🥺 This was totally beautiful
Such beautiful work! The trees and rocks created with the plastic card are stunning. Thank you for this tutorial!
Thanks so much 😊
You are amazing!! In the beginning I couldn't figure out how you would make anything beautiful out of it, but you did! And it's interesting! And I learned a lot!!! Thank you.
Thank you! So pleased you learnt so much!
Love your tutorials! I’ve started watching them while I’m on my stationary bike and also as a way to wind down before bed. I’ve had good success as a beginner with all the videos that I’ve followed along with ❤
Thank you so much Kristina for sharing 😀😀
Karen, you're a wonderful teacher! I'm going to try your techniques w/ credit card and adding in figures. Brilliant!!!! Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you so much Becky!
Love your tutorial, it was easy to follow and adding the two people at the end was fabulous. Thank you Karen.
Thank you 😊
Oh Karen, I love this so much !!!
I haven't been painting much the last few months. I think you may have just inspired me to give this a try.
As always, so relaxing to listen to your voice and watch you share your amazing art with us 💜🙏
Thank you Julie! Great to hear from you, so pleased you like this one 😊
Wow, that was just beautiful and you are an amazing teacher. I just started painting a few short months ago. I've watched tons of videos from different teachers, but yours really explained the techniques in real time. I now know I'm using way too much water. You are greatly appreciated.... And we'll, the accent is just so calming. It's like having a spot of tea with a friend and creating something simple and beautiful.
You are so welcome 😊

What a beautiful painting...the red scarves just pop...❤
Thank you! They really do 😀
I can't say how grateful I am to have come onto this amazing site, I really learnt from this ,thank you so much
You are very welcome 😊
I was absolutely glued to this. What a beautiful scene. I could live in this painting. :) Very thorough explanations too. Thank you very much for all of those details.
Thank you very much!
Wow! This is lovely!! I’m “for fun” watercolor painter and have learned so much today. Thank you! I’ve enjoyed not having to be so precise and allowing things to evolve. Most of what I paint are florals for this very reason. :)
I’m so pleased you like this loose style! I feel the same way about florals too. Thanks for sharing.
This is fantastic, Karen! Your information is so clear and concise. It's a joy following you and trying the techniques you show us. 💜 Thanks for this tutorial!
Thank you so much for your lovely message. I appreciate you letting me know that I am clear, that's really helpful to me 😊
the possibilities with watercolour are far greater than i could have imagined. When you pulled out the salt i thought it was a joke.... amazing stuff. Cool lesson, thanks
Thanks so much 😊
Wow! So incredible. I love how you show how simple it is to add people to a painting. Thank you!
Thanks so much 😊
You are the master of card scratchers! Lovely painting.
Thank you Doris!!
Karen, Thank you for your excellent tutorial. It might sunk in how to paint a figure in watercolour! 🙂 Also, the tip of using a card to scrape rocks into a painting is great.
So pleased you found this helpful 😀
This was a revelation. So many techniques and am really pleased with the outcome. Thank you
Wonderful!
I have been dabbling in watercolours for years and this tutorial taught me so much! Thank you Karen. I am inspired again 🙂
You are so welcome!
What a terrific lesson. Watching someone who knows what they re doing is so useful - it’s also made me rethink my (so far) tepid response to watercolour - you’ve demonstrated how to “control” this fluid medium. The water on paper and brush seems a mystery to me, but your explanations are so helpful. I’m going to try watercolour again with renewed interest. And I LOVE the end result of your painting here. Great tips and clear instructions. Subscribed!
So pleased it was helpful! Thank you for sharing 😀
The best tutorial to painting watercolor people I ever seen. Thank you Thank you Thank you 🙏
Wow! Thank you!!
Absolutely lovely! I painted it with you and it's my best winter scene I've done💕
Wonderful!
Love your tutorials! You do a great job explaining and modeling all these techniques.
Thank you so much!
I’ve only skimmed through this video quickly as I will play it again when I have more time but this is amazing. I’m definitely going give it a go and I love how easy you make it look to paint people. Thank you so much for your advice and tips 🙏❤️
Thank you so much Debbie... I hope you have fun painting this one...I love painting little people in watercolour. I do hope you find the technique helpful. Thanks again
@@KarenRiceArt thanks Karen, I’m going to spend some time practicing painting people 😀💗
Excellent video on showing the different techniques that are necessary for painting in watercolor. I can't wait to try it.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the tips. It's easier to see exactly what you're doing when there are only two colours.
Great result using simple techniques.
Thank you! Really pleased you found this helpful
Wow, I never knew about that card scraping technique before, it looks great. I like the people too! well done, thank you.
So glad you enjoyed it!😊
I am an absolute beginner to watercolor painting and I followed this step by step and I must say, for my first time, I'm quite impressed and proud of myself! I'll keep practicing! Love this video!

Beautiful!! I studied art all through school & university then fate stepped in and I ended up spending my entire career in automotive quality and engineering. I had little time for art then, now I'm retired and want to get back to it. I never worked much in watercolor but seeing how lovely it can be, I think I'll try it. I hope I still 'have it'! :) thank-you this is a keeper
I am sure you do... I hope you have fun painting in watercolour 😀

Such a treat to watch you paint. You make it look so effortless. I'm in awe. Love your work ❤

Excellent video with lots of tips. I liked the scraping idea for the trees and especially how the rocks turned out with that. And adding the couple walking was perfect, bringing the whole scene to life. Also shows how you'll see your painting with fresh eyes and have ideas what to add, if needed.
So glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much. You are a wonderful teacher.
