    I'm sure at all stages of that painting, if I were doing it, if be thinking "yep. I've ruined it". But Karen just carries on and it works.

    I love your use of the twig! There is an apple tree across the street but in the absence of my walking over there and crossing the muddy ditch 😅 I got a chop stick and sharped it with the pencil sharpener, another option is a bamboo skewer if that doesn’t work.

    Thank you! I have never seen anyone draw with an apple tree branch. A very original solution. I’ll share a technique: take three (or more or less) brushes in your hand with paint of different colors and tones (depending on the task). This way, for example, you can quickly and easily draw tree crowns.

    It is so helpful hearing you talk about the paint consistency and how creamier paint behaves vs more liquid. It forces me to pay more attention to what I am doing and consider more carefully the effect/s I am going for. I now have a more solid grasp on runs, cauliflowers, streaking, etc. Thank you for these videos.

    Beautiful muted colours, Karen, love this painting. I tend to use very bright colours (Japanese Kuratake paint is my favourite), but I do have Windsor and Newton basics. I think sometimes less is more and I love your colour combinations. I think I need to change tactics! Thanks again for your wonderful talent.

    My problem is I tend to use watercolors the same way artists use oil color (although I've never used it) in that I overwork things and am fixated on details. I enjoyed your demonstration and I'm determined, as difficult as it is for me, to simply "throw the paint down" and just be playful. I might even try adding a "weird" color to the scenario to see how that could be done. Thanks so much and since I've subscribed to your channel, looking forward to watching you at work! 🎨
