    Hi Karen! I just recently discovered your channel and I'm amazed by your art... I'm from Barcelona and I painted all my life, but I started with acrylics and abstract expressionism a few weeks ago. You're my new source of inspiration! I just want to know if you have any blog or something similar where you tell about your tools. If not, could you tell me if you put gesso before painting? What is the round green tool that you use to blend some of your paintings? And which kind of brush do you use? Than you so much and excuse me for all the questions 😍

    Karen, I love watching you work. Thank you for sharing with us. I watch the video slowed down to 50% speed (otherwise I tend to get a headache). I'm so curious about what you are using to apply the paint, especially in the early stages. Is it a sponge? Anything special? I want one (or 10 lol).
    I'm also curious about your process. Do you sketch out the painting ahead of time? Choose your colors before you start? And was the texture medium a kind of molding paste? And last question for now, what kind of paint are you using? You know I'm a fan...I'd have a house full of Karen Hale paintings if I could afford them and had enough wall space to hang them. 😘

    • @karenhalepaintings
      @karenhalepaintings  Рік тому +1

      Wow, that's a lot of questions. I did use a sponge on this in the beginning just to get a layer done. I use the kind of sponge that tilers use for grout and cut them up. I don't usually sketch, This did have molding paste. I use acrylic paint. If you go to one of the more recent demos you will find a list of supplies I like to use in the "show more" section, just below the description.

      Thanks for the comment and for watching. When I lay out my palette with 25+ colors, I plan to do several paintings off of it and don't clean in between so I have no idea exactly what colors I used. I feel that part of the journey and fun of being an artist is experimenting and finding out for yourself what works and what doesn't. The tool I use at the end of the video is a soft piece of plastic. Have fun with it, good luck.

    Hi Karen, as always, I'm thrilled! I enjoy your horizon images (that's what they call). I hope that I can learn enough from you to paint something almost as beautiful myself at some point. I'm on my way ... Do I see that the colors never dry during the whole painting process? Do you always keep them moist and keep painting on those that are still damp? Keep it up and thanks for sharing!
