Hi Karen! I LOVE your tutorials! So much creativity and so many wonderful techniques that can't be found anywhere else. Thank you!
Thank you Trina! I’m so pleased you think so 😀
Enthralling colourful touch
Karen! This tutorial lead me to creating my first painting that leaves me intrigued and I keep looking at it! I've been painting almost a year now (retired and focused only on painting and calligraphy) and following you for about 9 months. I learn an incredible amount from you (your techniques, color, sketching, etc.) and have made many paintings other people enjoy. This is the first one that captured me. Thank you for your videos! The stick really helps in getting paint on the paper than using a card. Then use the card with the paint on the paper. :)
That’s wonderful to hear.
Thank you so much 😊

Super cool idea. I wish I wasn’t so busy today because I want to sit down right now and try it. I don’t have a popsicle sticks so I guess I will have to go get a popsicle! Thanks once again for a great tutorial
Great excuse to buy a popsicle! I hope you get a chance to paint this one! Thanks Cat!

Your loose style fascinates me! Thanks for sharing this with us!
I love this type of abstract painting and this was awesome - this was an inspiration !
Thank you so much 😊
I love your style. Thank you for showing how you stay calm when you get a result you don't want and you take the time to think about how you will deal with it. I just panic and think my painting is ruined. I will try and remember to stay calm when this happens.
You are so welcome! I’m so glad it was helpful 😊
Waouah I am speechless ...bravo
Thank you 😊
The soft colors look like Northern Lights

Thank you so much Laura! Really pleased you like this style of painting 😀
i love these tutorials Karen, making shapes and designs on those gorgeous backgrounds. I want to do more nature based ones but hopefully I can transfer the idea.
I would love a tutorial on how to paint white subjects and also how to put together paintings of foregrounds middle ground and background. just ideas 😊

Watched a number of your video tutorials tonight Karen and you've done some stunning compositions. You explain things so well and you've really inspired me to learn about watercolour painting and see where it takes me.
Thanks so much 😊
Enjoyed this painting, inspirational, loved how you share the run away paint and how to redirect it. 😊🥰🎨
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you so much! I do watch you tutorials more than once, they provide a substantial learning experience.
Thank you so much 😊
Beautifully done! I'm inspired to do some painting over the jubilee weekend so thank you for this! I do love abstracts and that process of waiting for the painting to reveal itself is so much fun! -
Thank you! So pleased you are inspired! I hope you had a chance to paint over the jubilee weekend!
Love this!❤️
Love the way this looks!
Thank you 😊
Ooh, more messy fun 🤭 thanks Karen, definitely going to do this 😄
Thank you! I hope enjoy painting this one 😀
Very nice! Love how the water flows with the paint!
Thank you 😊
Hi, very encouraging tutorial, thank you. Great advice to slow down and take time to allow the paint to do its thing. I usually panic, speed up with the result being a mess. Breathe. Love your attitude to experimentation. Thank you.
I’m so pleased you found this tutorial not o my helpful but inspirational😊
I really like your painting style.thank you for sharing.
Thank you 😊
Could be a lake... wonderful 👍
Yes you are right!
Karen; you are an inspiration. I've just started painting four weeks ago after years of wanting to but not daring because of a fear of failing. You have given me the confidence to start, and the knowledge to try different processes and techniques. My attempts so far have been modest, but at least they haven't (all) gone in the bin and I am encouraged to continue rather than give up. I now walk everywhere looking and thinking: how would I go about painting that? I can't thank you enough.
That is wonderful John! Thank you so much for sharing... I hope you continue to enjoy your artistic journey 😊
Very beautiful! Thank you 😊
Thank you so much Kelly 😀
Beautiful piece, your techniques are very interesting. Thank you.
So pleased you think so 😀
Loved it, will have a go tomorrow! Thank you
Have fun 😀
Teşekkürler, çok şey öğrendim videolarınızdan. Thank you so much.
Thank you 😊
I love this, I am an abstract artist and use various mediums to create my work...thanks for sharing your talent.
Thank you Karan 😀
This is wonderful!!!
Thank you 😊
Beautiful ❤️
Thank you! 😊
gracias karen....he descubierto contigo el semi abstracto...me parece extraordinario ya que nos permite jugar con el humedo sobre humedo, y eso nos lleva a realizar obras increibles de arte. Por supuesto estoy con ansiedad de mejorar con tus enseñansas. nuevamente gracias
Gracias! I hope you enjoy learning and painting in this abstract style :)
❤
😮
I love your abstract paintings with your unique techniques. I tried your abstract painting of city skyline with plastic cards and thoroughly enjoyed it. This one is even better with your guidance. I do have a question, if chosen paint that are more yellowish, brown or even green, would the painting turn out more abstract sunset, forest type? Just curious......
So pleased you were inspired to paint an abstract cityscape. Love your colour choice… would make a lovely abstract landscape 😀
Karen, please reference the type of surface you are painting on... it appears to be a finished wood that wipes clean easily?
All of the materials I am using are in the description. I’m using 300gsm water paper.
I always forget to tilt my board to get effects, the digital watercolor program i have has tilt on it to use too, forget to use it there too lol
It can really produce some interesting effects 😀
I loved this video, thank you for posting. Just getting set up to have a go myself. I've lost my mojo a bit and hoping this will inspire me. The compote blue is a beautiful shade - what brand of paint have you used for this?
sorry, hadn't realised mission gold was the brand.
I hope this inspires you and you get your mojo back 😀
@@KarenRiceArt it definitely did, loved doing it. I'm all set up to do another one today, the winter tram scene. Love the way the paint moves, so random. Thank you for your inspiration.
@@annehumphreys57 Have fun Anne :)
