Oh I looove this. I painted with alcohol ink awhile back. Too many fumes from the alcohol and I had to stop. I used Brusho today on my photo paper. Wow, I had so much fun I could barely stop. I just used water and got some amazing effects. You bring such good ideas and joy to back. Abstract flowers !!! 🌸 bravo
Thank you! So pleased you found this inspiring! I loved alcohol inks, but they gave me a headache. Which is such a shame... But I was impressed with the Brusho and just dropping in water creates amazing effects!
Very intreguing and inspirational Karen, enjoyed this video as always which you've planned out what your talents will give a brilliant painting. Thanks greatly appreciated stay safe and healthy

This is a super cool demo, Karen. I'm going to do this tomorrow with a group of people, we're playing with new art materials. Thank you so much for doing all the legwork for this demo, and getting your fingers all painted!
Another awesome video. I have plenty of Yupo paper left over from my alcohol ink adventure, and just two weeks ago, I got my first batch of Brusho. I can't wait to try out your always terrific techniques.
Hi Karen! What a great idea! It looks wonderfull! Thank you very much for all this inspiration you share with us! I am so thankfull! It really keeps me going, If I stopped painting and don't know what to do next. 🙋🏻😘
Hi Karen I have only subscribed to your channel for only about a week and a half and my head is about to explode with all the great tips about painting! I see trying this painting with watercolor and salt!!! Thank you so much for your kindness and help! You are the best teacher for beginners I have seen! Will you ever be doing any live streaming, or a payed zoom class????
Hi Marvin, thanks so much! Really pleased you are finding the tutorials helpful! Good luck with the watercolour and salt. I have no plans at present to do live streaming because of my schedule. However I would love to do something like that in the future. Watch this space 😊
Thank you Anne. To seal your Yupo watercolour painting use a high quality acrylic non-yellowing varnish on YUPO, such as Lascaux Fixativ or Krylon Crystal Clear.
Hi Karen l've just brought some Brusho l just wanted to know what you used to pierce the holes into the lid and how many holes did you do f l don't put the holes into the lid l can see big accidents happening lol l absolutely love your art and channel and G'Day from Australia 💞💞💞
G'day Kerry (in Australia!), I hope you enjoy playing with the Brusho! So pleased you like my art! Yay! I usually use push pins to punch holes into the top... start with one and just test to see how much comes out. Because of the design of the push pin, they are great as a top to stop the Brusho from escaping afterwards. Hope this was helpful, have fun 😊
Hi, I like to look at your watercolors and at the same time I wonder if I could also paint a picture ?! What format should I start with? You know it very well. Thank you!💖👍
I love this! I’m going to break down and order some. Thank you for your videos. Love your work. Did you leave this as it was or can you seal it, somehow?
Great question Fergie. You can wipe watercolour off as well with a sponge. The best way to protect the painting is to make sure it does not get wet and to frame it behind perspex or glass and not to hang your painting in direct sunlight... hope this was helpful :)
Can you do this with watercolour rather than brusho? How does bleach work with watercolour (or is alcohol better?) I have some yupo paper and would like to try this with my watercolours, as I dont have any brusho...Thanks
Hello! I do have a question. Do you seal the painting after it’s dry? Yupo is synthetic I’m curious if the paint could be scratched off since it sits on top and isn’t absorbed. Thanks!
Ooh that’s very interesting. Never used yupo paper before but always wanted a go. One question, will the paint stay out when it’s dry do you need to seal it with anything? Thanks xx
Thank you for your question Sue: I would keep your painting away from moisture and frame the Yupo painting behind glass and not hang it in direct sunlight. Hope this was helpful 😊
I don’t have brusho so intend to try and paint this using a combination of watercolour paint and pencils which I’ll scrape over wet paper using an emery board nail file , which Karen suggested in a previous tutorial. No idea how it’ll turn out but it’ll be fun to try out 😊
Hi Lana... thank you for your question: I would frame the Yupo painting behind glass and not hang the framed picture in direct sunlight. Hope this was helpful 😊
Thank you so much Mimi... The best way to protect the painting is to make sure it does not get wet and to frame it behind perspex or glass with frame. Don't hang your painting in direct sunlight your painting may fade over time... hope this was helpful :)
Stunning! Can’t wait to try this! One question, if I may? Did you take off the greenish brusho at the top right and replace it with brown Brusho (on re wetted Wupo)? That upper right background is so beautiful!
What an amazing background - beautiful effects with the swirling colours - definitely need to try this 😁👏
Thanks so much Chris! I think you will love it! 😊
Brusho is like magic .... It's utterly amazing. I could watch it all day
Me too! Thank you for watching!
This is so lovely!
What a beautiful piece of art. Am excited to try this technique on Yupo paper. TYSM ❤
You are so welcome 😊
Simply gorgeous!. Thank you Karen.
Thank you so much Imma, so pleased you liked this one 😊
wow.... its just stunning....just loved the background....... really you are such a talented artist.... keep going....
Thank you so much 😀
Wow, will have to try using Yupo paper, love the texture it produces. Thanks as always Karen 😊
Thank you Alison :)

My pleasure. Happy painting 🎨
It's always a joy to watch you create💖👏
Would never have thought of using Yupo with Brushos. Not sure I’d have the patience to let it dry though. Absolutely beautiful piece as always 😊
Thank you so much!
Will be trying this 😅
Have fun!
Absolutely stunning! I haven't used Brusho for a long time and never tried it on Yupo.
I would love to see more videos like this with Brusho.
Thank you! Will do!
My absolute favorite you’ve done! 😍
Wow, thank you!

This is a beautiful painting. Thank you.
I love this painting ❤
Thank you 😊
Never saw this technique with brusho and this paper before.
Looks like a perfect idea.
Thanks for sharing. Even I've got only 3 brushos yet.
It's great fun Petra 😊
Thought it looked fab even before the dandelions were added, great textures, must have a go. 🙂
Thank you Kim! You will love it! So much fun!
Whooo hoo another Brusho tutorial 😍😍😍
YEAH! Art therapy at its best! Thanks Maggi 😊
@@KarenRiceArt use try this paper too!👍
Just stunning 😊
Thank you! 😊
Great your painting
Thank you so much 😀
Love this Karen, still trying to perfect the art of using Brusho! 🙈 definitely going to have a go at this one
Have fun Sarah 😊
I love 💕 your work so good.
Thank you!
Brilliant!
Thank you 😊
Love this.
WOW!
Thank you!
Ekkkk, I love this !!!
Me too Julie! I could paint these for hours!
Beautiful 👍🏻
Thank you 😊
Thanks, will try this! I have plenty of yupo from my brief obsession with alcohol inks. 😁
Have fun Kris 😊
Toll!!!!!! Sehr schön!!!👍👍👍👍
Love this Karen ☺️ I have the brusho and the yupo paper, just need the courage to have a go now ☺️
Thank you Lesley! Just tell yourself you are going to have fun and experiment! :)
@@KarenRiceArt I will ☺️
Such exquisite painting. Can this be preserved? Can we get similar results on watercolour paper?
Thank you for your wonderful tutorial!
You could frame this behind glass. You can’t get quite enough he same effect in watercolour. It’s because the watercolour paper is more absorbent.
Hello de France. ❤ 😊

Thank you for the reply!!!
Wow! Beautiful and fun!!
Thank you! Definitely fun!
sincere congratulations, wow, what do you then use as varnish to preserve the work please?
I usually frame my work behind uv glass.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you Karen. Do you have to seal it? What do you use if you will seal it.
Thank you Anne. To seal your Yupo watercolour painting use a high quality acrylic non-yellowing varnish on YUPO, such as Lascaux Fixativ or Krylon Crystal Clear.

Check out my beginner's playlist... lot of guidance there: th-cam.com/users/KarenRiceArtChannelplaylists 😊
@@KarenRiceArt Greetings and thank you for the perfect information.💖✌
Thank you for your sharing 😊How to clean hands after? I tried brusho and got hands so pigmented that it was useless even water and soap...
Thank you Pat, so pleased you found this useful, especially cleaning your hands :)
❤❤❤
What an interesting idea! Is this paper the same for encaustic painting? It is similar... Thanks
It is Yupo paper: recyclable, waterproof, tree-free Synthetic Paper.
I love this! I’m going to break down and order some. Thank you for your videos. Love your work. Did you leave this as it was or can you seal it, somehow?
I did leave it, but you can frame behind glass 😊
What a beautiful technique Karen! But if one does not have Brusho, what can one use instead?
Thank you! You could use watercolour by itself :)
@@KarenRiceArt thank you.
Loved this. Have you tried taking a print while the paper is still so wet?
Thanks Rosie... I have not tried a print? Do you mean placing another piece of Brusho over the top and pressing down on the painting?
@@KarenRiceArt No I meaant placing paper on top of the wet painted Yupo
thank you Karen great demo im wondering do you know how archival the end result it mainly without the bleach thanks
Thanks Trish, I am not sure of the answer to this. But I would frame the Brusho behind the glass to protect it :)
Beautiful! If you can just wipe it off, how do you preserve it?
Great question Fergie. You can wipe watercolour off as well with a sponge. The best way to protect the painting is to make sure it does not get wet and to frame it behind perspex or glass and not to hang your painting in direct sunlight... hope this was helpful :)
Can you do this with watercolour rather than brusho? How does bleach work with watercolour (or is alcohol better?) I have some yupo paper and would like to try this with my watercolours, as I dont have any brusho...Thanks
Thank you for your question Sue.... just to say the watered down bleach works really well with watercolour. Have fun 😊
@@KarenRiceArt Great thank you.
Karen, do you seal your watercolors done on Yupo or just frame them with no sealer?
Hi Mary, thank you for your question, you can seal your Yupo paintings, but I prefer to frame them... hope this was helpful :)
Hello! I do have a question. Do you seal the painting after it’s dry? Yupo is synthetic I’m curious if the paint could be scratched off since it sits on top and isn’t absorbed. Thanks!
Hi Lisa, I don't... I frame them behind glass to protect them 😊
@@KarenRiceArt thanks!
can the bleach mix be used on regular cotton or wood pulp watercolor paper?
Hi Kathy, yes you can, but it does seem to make the colours dull when the painting is dry. So I prefer using it on the Yupo paper :)
@@KarenRiceArt thank you!
How long does it take for the brusho and gauche to dry
Quite a while, maybe 6 hours. Depends how warm your room is 😊
Ooh that’s very interesting. Never used yupo paper before but always wanted a go. One question, will the paint stay out when it’s dry do you need to seal it with anything? Thanks xx
Thank you for your question Sue: I would keep your painting away from moisture and frame the Yupo painting behind glass and not hang it in direct sunlight. Hope this was helpful 😊
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗
I love this effect, would it be possible to achieve this with water colour pencils instead of Brusho, I’m very much a beginner 🙂
I don’t have brusho so intend to try and paint this using a combination of watercolour paint and pencils which I’ll scrape over wet paper using an emery board nail file , which Karen suggested in a previous tutorial. No idea how it’ll turn out but it’ll be fun to try out 😊
Yes you can! You can use so many different mediums with Yupo paper 😊
Have fun Pia
I just started playing with yupo paper, such a strange surface. please advise how would you preserve the painting on yupo? fixative? thank u
Hi Lana... thank you for your question: I would frame the Yupo painting behind glass and not hang the framed picture in direct sunlight. Hope this was helpful 😊
There painting is lovely! How do you protect the painting once done? Do you use some kind of fixative?
Thank you so much Mimi... The best way to protect the painting is to make sure it does not get wet and to frame it behind perspex or glass with frame. Don't hang your painting in direct sunlight your painting may fade over time... hope this was helpful :)
Thank you, same as any watercolor, easy enough.
Thank you, same as any watercolor, easy enough.
Karen, your link to the brusho video isn't working :)
Thank you Barbara for letting me know. It is working now! Hope you enjoy watching it :)
Stunning! Can’t wait to try this! One question, if I may? Did you take off the greenish brusho at the top right and replace it with brown Brusho (on re wetted Wupo)? That upper right background is so beautiful!
Thank you Sue, I think the Brusho dries very light, but it could have disappeared with all the spritzing! So pleased you like the upper background 😊
@@KarenRiceArt thanks 🙏
Love this can’t wait to try. What did you use to make holes in brusho container?
Thank you! I used a push pin and then used the same push pin to seal the container... win win :)
@@KarenRiceArt fabulous idea, thanks!
Has anyone used White Brusho? Is it worth a purchase and adding to my collection ?
I have not used White Brusho yet, could be something worth looking into...
@@KarenRiceArt I’m gonna get it! I’ll let you know
