I think I prefer the one in the bottom right hand corner! I enjoyed painting them all!

[@papschmoo]

I love the bottom Left one as it looks like a beautiful out of focus photograph.

[@PaulaScardamalia]

Believe it or not, I love the dark, more abstract Brusho piece. There's something mysterious and magical about it. I also like the ink and watercolor.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you 😊

[@Resgerr]

At first I didn't think I liked it but at the end I did

[@janetpaul7357]

Same

Karen I have been following your videos for quite some time. You are an inspiration! I think the one in the bottom corner is my favorite - although the Brusho one is very lovely and dramatic. Thanks for sharing.

I really love the pen and ink lesson to let the ink be important for shadows. Thx. 😊

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you 😊

[@peony4954]

Thank you 😊

[@cvholm5904]

I am brand new beginner to watercolor. I cannot for the life of me figure out how this video is for beginners! A true beginner doesn’t even know the language you’re using!😇

[@carolinetrinkley7714]

Karen, for beginners generally speaking, what brusho colors would you suggest buying to get started with? Thank you.

[@KarenRiceArt]

I would choose Black and Light Brown 🎨

[@LindaKing-nq6ut]

Like them all particularly the upper left…Brusho gives an entirely different look…having tried Brusho ,the colours seem artificial compared to usual watercolours however seem more appealing in a more abstract composition IMO

[@KarenRiceArt]

I totally agree 😊
