What I really appreciated in this one is how you added this warmth to the field and the hills with the yellow underneath, the layering of color was a lesson I'll remember - tks so much. Reminds me of where I was born - Ireland.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much 😊

[@pattycyr8662]

This is great, and it's fabulous to see the various techniques integrated into one painting. I love the spirit of your paintings - your style is what watercolor is all about. Thanks so much!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much Patty 😀

[@rubyfisch5077]

You are so good! It's really great that you explain what you're doing every step of the way, right down to telling us when you rinse your brush. So many 'tutorials' are just watching people paint, which is lovely, but it's nice to actually learn what colors are getting mixed, how much water, etc. You're the best!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much for your lovely comments 😊

[@fuzzydragons]

[@sylviamcpherson4290]

Like many, I enjoyed seeing how you made all the techniques worked so harmoniously together. I had trouble with the cling film technique mostly because it was really difficult to contain bits of wet paint that got pushed into my sky. Practice will help but, I was also wondering whether covering the sky at the edge of the hills would help prevent that.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you Sylvia! Cling film can be tricky... You could cover the sky, it may stop leakage.

Our little art group have an exhibition every year in the village hall,we are all different levels and our August exhibition has become quite well known now with the tourist that come to Cornwall , for the first time we exhibited at Easter,we find every year there are trends in to what people like and don't like ,this year it was signatures ? we had quite a few people not wanting the painting signed by the artist,it's baffled all our artists some who have paintings in Galleries ,( not me haha ) it's made me a bit nervous now should I just carry on until the trend goes away it's very strange.. Anyway thank you again for the inspiration Karen,I have lost my mojo lately so you have given me a bit of inspiration thank you x

[@KarenRiceArt]

I’m so pleased some of my tutorials have helped. I have been there… sometimes it’s good to take a break and just find out stuff that inspires us. Sketchbooks help as well. I always forget to sign my work!! 😂

[@williamblack4611]

What a wonderful tutorial. My favorite technique is the cling fill. I can't wait to paint this, several times to see how slightly different colors will affect the esthetic. Might you tell me what type round brushes you use, especially the mfg. Thank you so much

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much! The cling film is so effective! All of the materials I have used in this tutorial can be found in the description 😀

[@lindauhley3221]

Beautiful, with great techniques. Did you wipe the salt off?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you! Yes I better usher the salt off when the painting was dry 😀

[@catherineadkins2774]

Great tutorial! I love seeing you use the various techniques. Beautiful landscape! Glad I found your channel. What kind of paper were you using?

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks Catherine, so pleased you found this tutorial helpful. I mostly use 300gsm 100% cotton paper cold Pressed.

[@tradingpostfarms]

So I'm in the middle of the wilderness next to a creek, with watercolor supplies, and I'm finding this plein air experience um challenging. It's beautiful outside, only a slight breeze, but its odd and everything is drying so fast.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Hi Elli, I too find watercolours dry quickly when I paint outside. Thank Jen this happens I give the painting a sprits with some water 😀
