Thank you so much Janet!! I think that's the best comment I have ever had!! Bless you, I am so happy that I have inspired you to pick up your brush! So delighted you like my teaching style thank you so very much!!! Happy painting, take care :)
Absolutely wonderful, evocative and calming. A simple, monochrome study which allows the mind to both wander, but also to focus. I love the sharpened brush end for those fine marks and spikes!!
Thank you so much Andrew for your lovely comment. So pleased that you like this tutorial and find it calming. Really pleased you like the sharpened paint brush! It's so effective! :)
Karen, you are just so clever with your choices of reference photos and tutorials. I love everything you do. Really hope you get even more success in teaching because you are one of the best on TH-cam!!!
Wow! Thank you Mita for your amazing comment and best wishes, I really appreciate it! So pleased that you like my channel and my choice of reference photos! Thank you again!! :)
I painted this yesterday and I have shared it with the Facebook group. I just loved it. It was so therapeutic to see the colors emerge from just one color.
Karen, you're just great, I love your paintings, brilliant and also the way you teach and the fact that you always bring up to believe in yourself and to finish before you think you should. Your advices are really valuable. Thank you
Thank you Roberta! I am so pleased that you like the paintings! Also that you picked up that I am really trying to get across to viewers to believe in themselves and less is more! So glad that you have found the advice valuable! Take care, happy painting :)
Thank you so so much for your tutorials! Your style and gentle explanations are so helpful and your work, inspiring :) I have just finished this one and I am so pleased with the outcome! Thank you , thank you :D
Thanks for the tutorial Karen. I have no idea how to paint flowers, have maybe attempted a rose a few years ago! I like your dandelion video too - hope to give it a try one day?
When I see these simple ones Karen, I can’t resist following- they’re guaranteed to be fun and satisfying. I sometimes try to find my own picture, a similar one, and apply your teaching. That way I can call it my own. 😊
This is so gorgeous. Absolutely love Shadow Violet, Moonglow and even Jane's Gray. Oooooo, and all those new Super Granulating from Schmincke would work as well. Does the rough make the separation more noticeable than cold or hot press? I can't wait to paint this, thank you.
i really enjoyed this. thank you for sharing with us. I have just started looking for some watercolour paintings in "black and white", as I was inspired by some of my own photography and others as well. I am a beginner at painting though so thought this would be a fun new challenge to learn from. thank you!
Beautiful. I love single tonal paintings, and this is one of my favorite Daniel Smith colors. I just love your paintings. Thank you for doing more voice and less music even on the shorter viewings. I had to leave your group, because I could never get into it, and I miss it.
Lovely! Here in the states, I believe Hog Weed is known as Queen Anne's Lace, which can be found growing wild just about everywhere. One of my favorite flower's!
Each time I watch one of your videos I have to wonder what your pencil sharpener looks like! Do you use some industrial strength sharpened? From twigs to paintbrushes you literally sharpen everything! How!? LOL
AMAZING you make it look too easy (sure it's not) but you've inspired my to want to take it up again. I'am a bit OCD so wouldn't know when to stop (don't know how you do it) haven't done watercolour since A level art at school 1986🎨🤫
That's wonderful Michael, so pleased that this video has inspired you to paint! Stopping is one of the hardest thing to do in watercolour, but just say to yourself "Less is more!" and walk away! :)
Lovely Karen. Been addited to your wonderful videos since quarentine days, and learning a lot beeing a begginner. Which is better for this painting: cold pressed paper or hot pressed? Thank you for sharing
Hi Mary, thank you for your question. I can confirm that all of these shades are from DS Shadow Violet. A beautiful colour that separates and gives you dark cool greys and softer pinker greys. Hope this was helpful 😀
Hi Beth, thank you for your comment. I have created an in-depth video about this subject, here is the link: th-cam.com/video/lBcZ-LJ0NNY/w-d-xo.html I hope it answers your question in more depth.

Lovely Karen! Love the monochromatic effect! Thank you::)😊
Thanks so much Wendy so pleased you like the monochromatic effect! 😊
Lovely. Monochrome is a gorgeous effect when used properly and this one is lovely and evocative. Well done.
That's so nice of you to say! Thank you :)
,,,and this WAS happy painting, thank you Karen. I did it as a small 5x7 size and being so simple and monochrome it was easy.
Wonderful Barbara, so pleased for you!
Thanks for the tutorial Karen. I have no idea how to paint flowers, have maybe attempted a rose a few years ago! I like your dandelion video too - hope to give it a try one day?
Good luck and have fun :-)

Hi Karen, love your style! Can you produce a do’s and don’ts sometime regarding muddy colors? Thank you

Thank you so much for sharing Barbara, what a great idea! I hope you have fun painting something similar to this tutorial… Happy painting :-)
Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you so much Maca :)
Thank you, I tried this today and very happy how it turned out. Really liked your tutorials and voiceover. Very easy to follow. Look forward for more!
Thank you so much! So pleased your painting turned out well! :)
Oh WOW Love this! Appreciated and thank you
Thank you so much! :)

Thank you!! Yes the rough paper does accentuate the granulation.
So atmospheric Karen - love the simplicity of using just the one colour. What no splatters? 😉
Thanks Tricia! No splatters this time!!
This is beautiful, and I intend to use it on cards, which my mom likes to have on hand for correspondence. Thank you for sharing!
That's a wonderful idea Julia! Happy painting :)
i really enjoyed this. thank you for sharing with us. I have just started looking for some watercolour paintings in "black and white", as I was inspired by some of my own photography and others as well. I am a beginner at painting though so thought this would be a fun new challenge to learn from. thank you!
So pleased you found this helpful! Great idea to use your own photography. Working with one colour makes watercolour a little easier.
Какая красота! That is so beautiful! Karen, you are the best! Thank you sooo much! 🤍
Thanks so much Helen so glad you like this one! 😊
Now I’m tempted to try this with Moonglow and then Indigo and maybe Payne’s Grey. I love this idea.
Wonderful idea Allyson! I think it would work really nicely on a large scale :)
Beautiful. I love single tonal paintings, and this is one of my favorite Daniel Smith colors. I just love your paintings. Thank you for doing more voice and less music even on the shorter viewings. I had to leave your group, because I could never get into it, and I miss it.
Thank you so much!
Lovely - think I'll use Terry Harrison's Tarmac for this! Relaxing!
Thank you Fiona... What a lovely idea! I love Terry Harrison's shades! I hope you have a relaxing time painting this one! :)
I did this one with you and now I can do the larger-scale version. Doing them in different tonal values will be fun. Thank you for this!
Thank you for sharing Darlene, so pleased you had a go at painting this one! Good luck with the larger version! Happy painting :)
I gave this one ago and apart from one hiccup actually turned out ok so thanks for the detailed instructions
Glad you found this tutorial helpful!
Lovely! Here in the states, I believe Hog Weed is known as Queen Anne's Lace, which can be found growing wild just about everywhere. One of my favorite flower's!
Thank you Mary, it's so nice to paint! Queen Anne's Lace sounds so much better! :)

Thank you so much Ana, so pleased that you have learnt so much from the channel! I would use cold pressed paper. Hope this was helpful :)
Are all those colors, seen on your pallet just from the one shade of DS??😊
Hi Mary, thank you for your question. I can confirm that all of these shades are from DS Shadow Violet. A beautiful colour that separates and gives you dark cool greys and softer pinker greys. Hope this was helpful 😀
Can’t wait to try this one, thank you for sharing. Loving your videos. Where can I find the templates on your Patreon site? I am a member
Thank you Sarah, the template will be uploaded later today :)
🔮Magical...
Thank you!
Thank you very much for the amazing tutorial! Do you think caput mortuum violet would look good here? Or should I stick to payne's grey? :)
I think it would be fabulous Elena! If you need a little touch more of dark, just add a little Paynes Grey just at the end :)
@@KarenRiceArt Thank you, I ll give it a try
"Don't let your brush be wetter than the surface." Can you expand on when that's important?
