What a beatiful painting! I find it extreamly helpful to see how you decide which colour you want to use and how you create light and shadow areas. Thanks a lot 🙂

Beautiful. Your colors look spot on.

[@mariannekeller7504]

Beautiful!! Very informative!! I especially appreciate the water color pencil as an alternative to Brusho. Don't think Brusho and I would get along - too many allergies! Thank you so very much!!

Incredible!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you 😀

[@annnystrom6042]

Thank you Karen for this tutorial! Great ideas for creating depth!
Q1: Do you start with freshly squeesed out paint in your pans? They appear to be so soft…
Q2: your paint does not bead up on your metal palette. I am struggling with this. What is your best advice?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Ann. I paint everyday and that is why my paints look soft. However if they harden up, I squeeze out fresh paint on the colours where I know I will need a large wash. Your paint is beading up because the palette sounds newish? You will found overtime this will stop.

[@annnystrom6042]

@@KarenRiceArt super thanks Karen! You are a true inspiration!

[@lisalindberg9980]

Hello Karen, lovely painting and so informative! I have a quick question. I have the same Sennelier pallet and my Ultra Blue comes out very grainy on my Arches 140lb cold press. Is there something I am perhaps doing or not doing? Thank you and I love your channel.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Lisa. Ultramarine is a granulating paint. So the grainy effect is a natural result of using Ultra. Hope this helps 😊

[@lilybay1]

Interesting that the composition is set in the middle of your page

[@martinanelsonartandpsychol6478]

Thank you for you interesting tutorials! Do you know, if brusho is lightfast?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you. Brusho offers a good degree of lightfastness 😊

[@nancytestani1470]

Right on…then I get so upset..I don’t do anything..

[@KarenRiceArt]

Try not to be too hard on yourself, keeping a sketchbook can take it he pressure off 😊
