Dear Karen cannot tell you how much I am enjoying this series. Wonderful to watch you work on this creation with the added bonus of my favourite colours. Such an impressive piece which some lucky person will be able to enjoy. Thank you for posting, wishing you a wonderful week.

[@karenhalepaintings]

Thank you Carolyn. I had lots of fun working on this series. More to come.

[@susanhepburn6040]

This is mind blowing! 🤯Seriously, you are brilliant! Thank you for sharing.

[@karenhalepaintings]

Thanks so much. Very kind of you.

[@pamkennedy273]

I've just come across your work Karen. It's amazing and so unique the way the layers of colour form abstract patterns. I'm wondering though what tool you are using to push the paint around?

[@karenhalepaintings]

Thank you very much for watching. The tool is a bowl scraper. There is a list with links in the "more" section that shows the products I like to use. Here is a link to that item: Shapers/Bowl Scraper: amzn.to/450hUYI

[@janerogers5717]

It's different watching you work on the flat.... Inspiring as always

[@karenhalepaintings]

I know. Not my favorite since it's harder on my neck but for this style it had to be.

[@suemassey6099]

I enjoyed watching you create this! And I love that you added some music in the background. :-)

[@kristiinasakai9957]

What a beautiful and fun thing to see first thing on a snowy winter morning! This music is perfectly paired with the mood of the painting.- Do you use fluid acrylics or do you just mix regular, or heavy body, with water? Just curious. As always, thank you so very much, Karen, for sharing this to lift my spirits and start the day on a bright, happy note! ❤️⛄️❄️☀️❤️

[@karenhalepaintings]

Thank you for your kind remark. I use a lot of different acrylics and do like the fluid best.

[@margaritasilva708]

gorgeous👏👏👏

[@vanessabechard]

I love the vibrancy of the colours, well done and thanks for sharing Karen! Do you prep your canvas with Gesso before painting? It looks like the painting is absorbed by the fabric.

[@karenhalepaintings]

My canvas has 2 coats of gesso.

[@vanessabechard]

@@karenhalepaintings Thank you!

[@biankamcfadden4824]

[@cherylfrank6468]

Do you thin you paints with water, or something else... thank you, love your semi transparent colours❤️

[@karenhalepaintings]

I usually use water.

[@margamcl2759]

Me gusta, 👏👏👏👏👏😍😍🥴

[@karenhalepaintings]

thank you.

[@kathyh6711]

I like this painting and your style very much! What are you applying with the spray can?

[@karenhalepaintings]

The spray bottle has water in it.

[@omojaspelt3544]

I like it so much. What Color
you use

[@karenhalepaintings]

Thanks. From what I remember the colors are: prussian blue, pthalo turquoise, cad yellow light, umber light

[@omojaspelt3544]

@@karenhalepaintings thanks, the combination is gorgeous

[@janberry4851]

I love this one, Karen. Do you use watercolor paper or is this a canvas?

[@karenhalepaintings]

It's a stretched canvas although I did have to put a piece of foam core on the back side temporarily to make the canvas tighter.

[@janberry4851]

Thank you so much for the quick response.

[@dominiquew5558]

Always so beautiful!!
Do you let dry between each layers?
And is the titanium white diluted with water also?

[@karenhalepaintings]

Usually I let the layers dry but in this one there was more wet into wet application. The white was diluted a little.

[@christinaschniz1514]

Sagenhaft , ich bin überwältigt das ist so wunderschön . Ist das nur mit Wasser verdünnte Farbe oder auch Alkohol dabei ? Ich liebe dieses gewaltige Farbenspiel , vielen Dank für das schöne Video .

[@karenhalepaintings]

Thank you for your comment. It's just water, some medium, but no alcohol.

[@marymary5494]

👌💕

[@karenhalepaintings]

thanks.

[@sjustice280]

Amazing Karen! Are u using any medium with the acrylic or just water?

[@karenhalepaintings]

Thanks for watching. I generally just use water, once in a while I'll use a matte medium. This piece did have some for the flow factor.

[@alanhillier1033]

Loving the different shades Karen,the fluid you use,water?

[@karenhalepaintings]

Just water.

[@renatonotturno6050]

Cuppa tea time! Slainte Karen. ☺

[@traceykronick3292]

Ink?

[@karenhalepaintings]

No. acrylic and water.

[@dominiquew5558]

Karen may I ask what is the ratio of water you mix with the paint?

[@karenhalepaintings]

@@dominiquew5558 I have no idea. No math for me.

[@elkesteckenborn86]

Lovely🤩...is it acrylics and water?
