Your work and videos are the best. Any tips to prevent paper buckling? It's my biggest challenge.
Paper will buckle no matter what we do. I use a pillow case and an iron. Painting inside the pillowcase face down and iron on the cotton setting. Place it under something heavy and after a little while, it is flat and ready for framing 🙂
what weight of paper are you using? There are a lot of variables that affect how much buckling happens. If you take it down on all four sides, that helps. If you use 140 LB or 300 LB that helps too. And it depends how much water you use. If you get it really wet, it is likely to buckle more. If you use a block of watercolor paper, that will mostly prevent buckling as well. Then, don't untape it or separate it from the block until it's completely dry--not cool to the touch of the back of your hand means it's dry. Hope that helps :)
@@rosemaryclark610 I'm using 140 lb paper. I tape down all sides. I watch Karen and her paper stays wet longer than mine with no buckling. I currently have alot of paper in tablets that I am trying to use and then I will switch to blocks. It seems that the instructors paper never buckles. Thanks for the response.
Erik Sharp I’m theorizing that Karen’s paper likely stays wet longer than mine because she is maybe in the nice, damp U.K.? somewhere else in the Commonwealth? whereas I live in the fair, very dry Great Valley in CA.
Thanks for your message Erik, keep painting on the paper you have. If it’s buckling cut the paper in half and -ain’t on smaller sheets. I find this helps. Then when the time comes swap to the blocks if you can. I do find that the paper doesn’t buckle as much. Hope this is helpful :-)
You are telling, what l realized, just last week."Leave it alone", "Stop fiddling with it".Thank you, for letting me know , what l felt is right.
Yay! So glad this was helpful!
I can keep watching you paint forever !
😊❤️
I know this and other videos are a few years old but I've just come across your channel after purchasing watercolour paints..I have been all day watching your tutorials!..I'm now ready and excited to start watercolour painting, I've watched many other videos and they are all great but I find you are so east to understand and a fantastic teacher..I love your style of painting. Thank you so much.
Wow! Thank you so much. So pleased you have found the tutorials helpful! Hope you enjoy your watercolour journey 😊
Your one of my top 3 favorite Watercolorists to learn from.
Please, tell me something about the others! Thank you and greetings from snowy NRW in germany.
This is so good…I needed this..and I do fiddle..
So pleased you found this helpful 😊
It's always wonderful watching someone doing something that they really know how to do. So much light in this painting, Karen.
Thanks Ted! :)
No mud here, you make it look so effortless. Love your techniques.
Thank you, Karen. You make it all so easy. I learn so much from your videos.
Thank you so much 😊
I give this 5 stars. So beautiful. I am just getting comfortable with landscapes, and this by far is my favorite. Thanks Karen.
That's wonderful! So pleased for your Corazon!
thats it i found my new teacher .great content
That’s brilliant I’m delighted! :-)
Inspirational! I love that you take your time and explain how the details are created. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
So THAT'S what I've been doing wrong!! Thank you, Karen:)
You are so welcome! Pleased you found it helpful ☺
So fresh and beautiful
Thank you so much!
Merveilleux dear. Karen
That sky and the trees were perfectly done. Very informative video. Thank you.
Not only are you a great artist, but a fabulous teacher too! Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
Thank you Karen , lovely as always!
You are so welcome! Thank you!
What I find daunting is breaking down a reference photo to decide how to tackle a painting. When I see tons of greenery or a dense forest, I get overwhelmed and am not sure how to begin in order to get the layers of images and colors without sort of losing depth and definition. I love your painting style. Beautiful.
you are a great teacher and painter love it
Thank you so much 😊
You are absolutely fabulous
‘Less is more’ indeed. Such a wealth of techniques and approach! As always, thank you Karen!
You are so welcome Andrew! So pleased that you found this tutorial helpful 😀
Your are an amazing teacher, you sound excited as you paint which keeps me tuned in.
Thanks so much Jennifer! So lovely of you to say!
You are such a great teacher, Karen. I had watercolour lessons about 15 years ago and the tutor was really lovely but the class was quite big and we were working at all different levels. I was a complete newbie. I took what I had learned and for a few years didn't paint at all, until one day I thought, 'go for it.' It's been a learning curve and yes, you need to practice and practice. Yes! The greatest tip any budding watercolourist should know, is DO NOT FIDDLE!
The painting is lovely and fresh, and you make it look so easy so it gives confidence to new painters to try it. My brushes are coming out soon during this strange isolation time we find ourselves in. Plenty of hours to practice. Thanks again 😊👍👩🎨
Thank you for your comment and yes do not fiddle and plenty of practice especially in this as you say strange isolation time, that’s what counts, happy painting :-)
I really appreciate your video. You are very clear at explaining what to do and why things happen. I've been painting with watercolor for years now and I couldn't figure out why my paint was so muddy. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
amazing! the thing is struggle with the most is setting a scene and drawing out the outline before painting. I can paint completely from imagination, but not by copying from a picture
Thank you so much Karen, that was brilliant. I love the colours, my paintings always come out too weak !
What a gorgeous painting! I learn something new every time I watch your videos.
This video is for me . I am the worlds greatest painter of mud !!!
Amazing Karen! God bless you. The way the painting eventually grows into you and the divine feeling it creates, is just unexplainable. Thank you so so much!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment I’m so pleased that you liked the tutorials! Take care :-)
