Thanks once again! I may try this tonight. I most appreciate the look at salts and how they work. I use a wooden dowel about the circumference of a pencil (actually made for propping up plants) and your tip on soaking it in water is definitely something I'll do in the future. 🎨
Great review of techniques and then applying them right away. Thanks. I can see using all five of these techniques in my Southwest paintings. Beautiful work!
I had no idea the different salts gave such different effects in the paint at different stages of drying. So useful to know. Also, you always create so much texture in your paintings. Thank you.
So many useful techniques! Going to hunt for a twig now 😂 I've seen somewhere a tip for hair dryer helping removing masking tape from a soft paper like that. Tried it and it works for me!
Again a very informative and lovely tutorial. Thanks also for saying about spraying your pans before painting. Very few tutorials in my experience state this which makes a huge difference. Regards😍
Wow! Love the trees. Gradually watching a lot of your demos. Ive sent for some Washi tape,as my masking tape is bringing off bits of paper,thats a great tip. Now just have to make myself use a looser more fun style. I like your hair by the way!
It's like you made this painting with me in mind. Touched my heart. Loved the texture idea after you took the box tape off. Stunning work. Thank you so very much for this beautiful idea to create. HUGS ~*Shana
It is possible to lessen the "tack" of the torn pieces of masking tape by sticking the pieces to your skin before applying them to the paper. This will transfer some of the oil from your skin which will allow for easier removal and can avoid tearing the paper.
Just watched this video! So inspiring! After trying to tear the tape for my forest trees, the forest quickly shrank to just three trees! I must be missing the gene that allows you to make tree trunks out of tape!!! There wasn’t a lot of stick left on my tape after I manhandled it! I’m determined tho!! I will have an autumnal painting yet!!
Yes, it does take practice but I prevailed! I’m pretty satisfied with the outcome! Thank you Karen! I think I’ve watched every one of your videos!👍you are a great teacher!
This year I joined an art workshop and one of the artist asked me about the color of Birch trees because she saw Birch trees has pink on it. I told her I didn’t even the name of that threes. I told her whatever and don’t care. I believe color’s belong to artists eyes. She was a bit upset and walk away from me. Since that I decide to drew Birch. Thank very much. I will try
Im an old lady who is trying learn watercolor.I made a small one of the birch trees and it came out fairly good. My dear friend want me to paint her one.I am scared to death I can't do it. I wanted to big bigger..I have the paper ready ready and afraid to start with the tape .I guess I'll just to try to stay calm and start. I have only three hours to do it. So I hope to at least get the tape on in one sitting and another three hours to.om! I love your Autumn birch trees.
Is it okay to reuse the sea salt? Will the color you used in the previous painting, that now seems to be in the salt, be on the painting you reuse it on?
I don’t think it would be a good idea as the salt will be contaminated with paint. However if you see bits of salt that look clear you could save those 😊
Karen, what is your trick to etching out paint without damaging the paper? Every time I try, I end up with deep 'scars' in the paper and not the desired etched effect. What am I doing wrong?
Unfortunately Gail, I am unable to help you. I would Have another go and make sure you get enough paint in all the areas you’re not left with two little paint.

Yes for sure or use a hairdryer to soften the glue as well 😊

It does take practice, maybe try a different masking tape 😊

@@peggysimoni5365 I am so pleased for you Peggy!! Thank you!!!
I am a beginner watercolor. I am going to paint this birch tree painting
Have fun!
What size paper do you generally use, and more specifically for the birch trees? Thank you, an interesting tutorial.
It does depend on your subject matter but generally I tend to use half A4 size 😊

Thank you for sharing Danielle, it really is your own interpretation of colour 😊

I hope you go for it! Remember it is just a piece of paper and you can always wash off or even use the back.

@@KarenRiceArt 😂 I know it is not the highest priced tool I use for my watercolor, but it’s the principle of the thing. 🙃 Thank you!
Karen, what is your trick to etching out paint without damaging the paper? Every time I try, I end up with deep 'scars' in the paper and not the desired etched effect. What am I doing wrong?
You need to make sure your paper is not too wet or too dry and keep a light touch when lifting off. Practice does make perfect. 😊
@@KarenRiceArt Thank you! I need to find that sweet spot where the paper is not too wet or too dry. I have been applying the etching too heavily.
I haVe a blank area on one side I didn't bring my trees down far enough. It's dry now and I don't know what to put in there it's so bare!
I would add more paint.
😍👏👏
Paper birch!
Its tasty
🙋👍👏👏👏❤️🎨
