I’ve been “teaching myself” watercolor for the last handful of years. I’ve never, ever been drawn to abstract work, but after watching this video I felt absolutely driven to do it. Now I’m six little paintings richer! Well done! Thank you for the inspiration and instruction. :)
That is wonderful, so pleased you found this inspiring 😊
I know what you mean. Me too. I had to put my art work away as I didn't get any support from parents. In the end I actually married an artist and he has been so supportive. But abstracts always seemed like a cop out. Except that they are not. I've sent off for some card stock, and I am going to make some of these and sell them on the internet. So happy.
Great video! You inspired me! Thank you!❤
You are a natural presenter Karen and your abstracts make me think of super-modernist stained glass windows. Dynamic and vibrant. Simply beautiful.
I must say that I’m so excited that UA-cam introduced us! I’m loving the idea of these abstracts/cards/paintings. Brilliant!
I made 3 sets of these cards. I wasn’t thrilled with most of the panels on the third set and found a great way repurpose them. Using a die cut machine with standalone flower-shaped dies, I used the painted panels as the cutting material. The die-cut flowers are gorgeous! I’m planning another set of abstract panels in shades of green for die-cutting leaf and sprig shapes and will then assemble various pieces to create greeting cards. So fun!
Great idea! Thank you for sharing 😊
Such a great idea for creating several cards while experimenting and practicing painting at the same time! Karen, I love your creativity and enthusiasm for making watercolor fun! You are a fantastic teacher! Thank you!
Very good❤
Sometimes you just never know what you can wind up with when throwing paint around. These all turned out so different and beautiful. Thank you for a fabulous tutorial!
What a wonderful process for watercolors, especially for people like myself who are petrified to pick up a paint brush. I created two sets of abstracts yesterday, and today my friend, who is a true artist, came to my home and we each painted another set. So fun to work alongside someone else who has different sensibilities around creating art with paint. My friend embellished with Tombow brush pens. We also used a toothbrush for splattering. For some panels that had dead spaces, I went in with a watercolor pencil and brushed in little starbursts of color to create a more complete look. This process is addictive and I plan to make one more set tomorrow while all my art toys are still spread out over the dining table. Thank you Karen for the inspiration🙏🏼
The mini painting you named Blue abstract is absolutely beautiful.❤
Abstracts are in the eye of the beholder! They’re all beautiful.
Love this for card making. So conducive to creating a one of a kind cards. I’ve been selling cards as “Framable Art Cards”. A card plus a gift of art. Sometimes I include a frame to be wrapped as the gift.
Wow!!! I'm too new to watercolor but maybe someday! Do you sell locally or Etsy? A California Gramma ♥️
Cheryl, I've been doing the same. It's a great way to gift someone and it's so fun to do. A win-win!
@@annenglish2935 Locally!
Thank 😊 you Cheryl... happy painting!
Yes, me, too!! Love doing this!! ❤️
Very inspiring! Everyone can see something different in them. I saw a blue sun, a river stream, a sail and a green whirlpool.
I’m a true beginner and you have inspired me to the point of feeling like I can do this!!
These are gorgeous! Thanks so much for this tutorial. Will get started on my own! :)
A fine mesh metal tea strainer works well for making powder of watercolor pencil.
Wow.... so beautiful... the one you said didn't work out, I saw a very lovely blue angel in the sky 💙💙💙.... diffrent eyes see different things...
You are so right! Thank you!
Beautiful cards. Very grateful for explaining so well the step by step of its realization!
You are so welcome!
I know you just somehow fling paint about & scratch & spatter & plonk & scrape, but you truly have magic in those molecules as they do turn out looking so interesting & beautiful. And your techniques do help others create magic too.
Thank you Allison! Great description of my process! 😂
Dot from UK
Beautiful video Karen I will have to try this one I found it very relaxing and creative. I will most certainly be watch more of your creations, thank you so much for sharing, lots of love from Derbyshire. Dot x.
What a fun tutorial! I often get too precious about a painting way too soon. I think what you've shown me here will help me play and experiment more. And I too LOVE making cards and sending them to friends! Thank you!!!
So pleased you found this helpful 😊🎨
I'll give it a go!!! Also will show my granddaughters so they can share in the adventure!!! No rules needed in watercolor anyway but these were just beautiful! Thank 😊 you Karen! Enjoy your weekend! A California Gramma ♥️
Just gorgeous Karen! I’m inspired. Thank you❤️👏
This is so fun and freeing. I used some of my shimmery Iridescent watercolors in some of mine such as Danial Smith's Iridescent Blue Silver and that turned out very pretty.
Karen the one you didn't think worked, I could see a wonderful soaring bird above a lake. Gorgeous.
Wow! Thank you for sharing!!
How fun! These turned out so beautiful! Love the colors and the use of so many different techniques.
I really like the bottom middle one. It looks like a road going under a very stormy sky, pe3rhaps the beginning of a hurricane. Really like this idea, I would never have thought of doing this. Thanks so much.
A touch of white really makes the painting stands out and feel like there are lots of details to look into❤
What a hoot Karen, there was paint everywhere, but I had such fine flinging it about. As you say therapeutic and teaching us not to fear!! Thank you so much x
I’ve never done abstract before and loved doing this so much. It was the colours that drew me to your video. Now I’m hooked. Thank you so much 😊. It’s so freeing
I agree it is very freeing! So pleased you enjoyed this one and are inspired to paint in the style. Have fun :-)
W aTching you work your magic was inspirational! I have just started using watercolours, I’ve always enjoyed making craft things , from Christmas tree decorations to soft furnishings! From 2020 til now I have had 8 strokes which left my vision Im paired and my left side weak! In order to keep busy , I thoughpainting would help me pass the time being productive so I’m going to have a go at some abstract art as you make it look such fun Thank you for sharing your techniques I will try to keep updated. With your videos, God bless you… Tina👋🏿
Thank you so much Tina! I’m so pleased that you found this one inspiring 😊
Thanks Karin! I love watching your videos here on UA-cam 😁💝
Thank you so much 😊

For years I've given my sister and daughter sets of watercolour cards for Christmas or birthdays. (Only problem is they don't want to give them away ) I've never tried abstracts and gluing on tho so I'm very excited to try this! Thank you once again.
This tutorial WAS fun! Loved it! Thx Karen
You are so welcome!
I never would say I love abstracts but I heard you say something. “Move with feeling”your pencil. But I pray as I
Paint and I can’t wait to pray and pain abstract.
Hello Karen, Thank you for these really helpfull videos. I´m from Bavarian,, and my school days are 30 Years ago now. I find your english so good and clear and easy to understand.
Fabulous. Having a go next week at art class
Have fun 😊
I love the freedom of abstracts..... and the surprises. Thank you Karen, for another magical and inspiring tutorial.🌺
So very helpful - you are a great teacher
Thank you 😊
I tried this abstract technique. So much fun! Thankful for sharing your talent!
Hi Karen:
You always have great ideas! Still have my techniques and tips book I made because of you. The cling wrap is one of my favorite techniques. This tutorial is so much more fun for me than drawing an intricate painting. Need to include the white Gouache technique to my book as well. Final result is amazing. Thank you so much. 💜😎🇺🇸
☀️Thank you. Inspires me to have fun with color.
You’re welcome 😊
Lots of fun and no pressure!
I've always loved abstracts but didn't know where to start with them. Thanks for this tutorial, I will definitely be having a go x
Marvelous. Must do. Thank you so much.
Had a total blast with you today! Thank you! What a release! Mind,body, Spirit! You’re amazing! ❤thank you Liz M
Thank you so much!!
The top right brings back memories of offshore yacht sailing in the Baltic Sea when I was in the Army in the 80's.
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
Lovely technique dividing the sheet into individual rectangles. I’ve been painting watercolours for 43 years and started with smaller sheets of paper. Great way to learn new techniques without wasting costly watercolour paper. Enjoy your cosy presentation style
Thank you… I totally agree takes the pressure
Off and saves money 😊
These all turned out great..& what fun to paint them🙂
I was very inspired by this. Thank you. I just recently bought some watercolor crayons because I just never felt comfortable with my watercolor pencils nor my tin of hard little square watercolors. I will be trying out all of these techniques and maybe even thinking up a few of my own. My grown daughter has been artistically talented since a very young age and in middle school her art teacher invited me to her home and gave me one intensive art lesson so that I "would fully appreciate my daughter's world and talent". She thought it would help me understand the way my daughter looked at the world. And it did! I am forever thankful to her for her kindness. There was no internet back then! How lucky we are now.
Wow! Your daughter's teacher sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing that Deb... I am so glad this tutorial has inspired you 😀
No nonsense video great teaching and pace. Thank you very inspiring
........ Also, I spend an absolute fortune on buying art print cards in box sets of my favourite artists, usually from Museums and Gallery shops. I will save my money and do my own cards in the future. My area is portraiture but I love love love creating abstracts in multimedia just for fun and to colour mix or loosen up. Thanks for the inspo 👍
Thank you so much for sharing! Have fun creating your own cards 😊
I love the way you did these cards up from the one large design, (1 but not truly 1). Gives me ideas for colour choices as indicators of occasions! E.g. pastels behind Easter items, etc. Thank you!
Great idea 😊
I have been a conventional artist all my life and this excellent video wants me to try something different. Thank you so much
Your cards are so beautiful. A very inspirational video with so many tips. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Hi I really enjoyed your tutorial, and will watch more, thank you, I love blues and greens too.!
Thank you so much!
This was so useful. I’ve been trying to figure out the basics of how someone would go about abstract painting in watercolor and this is the best video ever, so informative and easy to understand. Thank you!!!!
Thank you Olivia, so glad it was helpful😊
So beautiful and, as a very new beginner, can’t wait to try this!
Have fun!
Beautiful! Thank you. You've inspired me to try you techniques. 😊
Wonderful 😊
Saw some techniques that are new to me...sanding coloring pencils and painting with the tiny piece of card. THANK YOU for sharing your craft!
Thank you so much :-)
Just lovely! I'll be trying this soon! thanks for the inspiration. 😊
Thanks Liz
That was FUN!!! I don’t usually paint abstract, and have been trying to paint more loose…this was the ticket to loosen up! LOVED IT!!
Thank you 😊
Yes! Inspire achieved!
This looks like great fun! I'm going to give it a try! I'd love to see your process in painting a larger abstract frome one of these smaller ones.
Great idea 😊
Thank you for a wonderful video. Your enthusiasm and encouragement is contageous!! Those tiny abstracts seem very achievable, even for a beginner like me ..... keep us the good work.
You are so welcome 😊
I’ve missed your videos. Love them so much. I took a break from art for a bit. Ready to start again. Thank you. By the way you look like your becoming younger every time I watch a video. Beautiful Talented Lady.
🎨👩🎨🖌
Thank you 😊
These are great. A fun idea if you are putting white borders on white card is to cut a colored piece slightly larger than the painting for contrast.
Great tip! Thank you 😊
Love all these abstracts! I'm really enjoying your videos!!
Hi Karen! That was so much fun to watch. What I loved about it all was how you sort of give us that sense of just going for it and not be afraid to just let go. What’s the worst that can happen? I love making cards with different medias and I’m so excited to create my own designs. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent with us. I love all of your videos. Nice to see the beautiful face behind the art. ❤️❤️❤️
Love your comment Karen, it made me smile this morning. I really am glad you found this helpful and inspiring. I really hope you enjoy creating your own cards - have fun 😊
So fun!!! Thank you for sharing your works of art. I always enjoy your tutorials.
This is one of the best videos I’ve watched in a long time. I feel inspired to try it and freely create my own abstracts! Thank you so much for sharing it - it’s going in my “saved” folder!
Wow! Thank you Anne, that really means a lot to me. Hope you have fun trying this 😊
Very enjoyable to watch. Will be making some soon.
Have fun 😀
Great ideas and inspiration
Thank you 😊
Hi Karen, I just finished making a video of me following your tutorial. My cards are beautiful and I of course references you repeatedly. You are a wonderful teacher. Cheers from Vancouver Island.
Thank you so much! Really pleased you enjoyed this tutorial and your cards turned out so well! Yay!
So much fun! And to think I have every single item you’ve mentioned! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yay! Thank you!
Wow inspirational for me as a beginner. I'm one who is afraid to start and will be giving these a go. Thank you for sharing 🥰
This was wonderful. I have some really ugly abstracts that I will try to save with your wonderful techniques. So happy I found you.
What amazing inspiration for those of us who think we can’t paint... I can’t wait to get started, thank you so much!
Have fun!
Thanks for this great tutorial. The cards are lovely, and each a wonderful painting in it's own right. I actually love the one you said didn't work out, and thought you were going to put it aside to frame!
Thank you so much!
WoW, just wow. I’ll try it. Thank you
Thank you 😊
Wow I was inspired by your Abstract tutorial
Thank you!
This was excellent! Thanks so much. Can’t wait to try. I love making cards!
Great ideas. Thank you very much.
Love the freedom of this, thanks for the inspiration.
Karen, I don't paint in the abstract form often, but after seeing this tutorial, I'm going to make an exception. It was fun seeing these paintings come to life and seeing how some shapes (which in the beginning looked like fish in the sea) changed into something different. The entire process was entertaining and informative. I love how you introduced the salt, cling wrap, and brusho into your creation. They do make quite lovely cards. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Thank you so much Carolyn 😊
Hi Karen. Love your abstract cards! I now belong to the local Art Society and they've just suggested I should make some cards. So thank you for this lovely idea. 🙂👍
Not only did I enjoy your video but I just wanted to mention how lovely and natural your make up looks❤😊
Thank you 😊
Love it. Can’t wait to have a go❤
I'm already a card-maker, using stamps, inks and other mediums but I do love to dabble in freehand watercolor as well! I've played around a little with small abstract paintings but this tutorial makes me want to run into my stamp room this very minute and make a panel!! What a great video with great tips and amazing results! Thanks so much! Can't wait to poke around your channel to see how else you'll inspire me! :D
Thank you so much! I am so pleased that you enjoyed this tutorial.

Absolutely loved your abstract card tutorial Karen , thank you 😊
Thank you
Absolutely love this! I can't wait to try it. thank you for sharing your wonderful talents with us.
You are so welcome!
Its so interesting. I was seeing different things in your paintings. The one you flipped I saw a meadows and a river. I love this technique. Oh and the one you didn't get to work out I felt the same. I couldn't see where it was going. I would say my favorite was when you trimmed the upper one in half. Thank you for this tutorial.
Thank you! That’s what I love about this style of painting… you can see so many things! 🎨
I love this tutorial and the results so very much! Definitely a great way for me to explore watercolors as I love using all the different fun techniques and the abstract vs realistic.
Bravo, what a great array of techniques in one demo and 6 individual paintings in the end yes FUN!
