This is the best bauble tutorial i've seen - simple and beautiful. Like you, I absolutely love Daniel Smith's Rose of Ultramarine. Hadn't thought to use for this, but I am going to use it now. Thanks!
Thank you so much, Karen. This is absolutely lovely and, as a newcomer to watercolor, it's so helpful to hear your thinking process and explanations as you go. Even knowing the specific colors and brush sizes is a bonus for those of us just learning. Delightful!
How lovely! Wish you had done this earlier....I've got Parkinson's so only attempting for those very special people! May just try and do some for next year over 2024! Smashing inspiration video. Thank you 😺
I am mesmerized watching you watercolor your bauble painting. I haven’t tried water coloring at all but bought a few sets to use on other card making projects. But laughing all the way to my artroom with this fabulous goal I’m going to give the bauble painting a good old fashioned (college) try! I laugh because trying different things makes me so full of joy inside. Oh I have to add the glitter mix was a brilliant idea! So Thankful I found your channel!
Thank you for the turorial ... I have just made a smaller card with 5 baubles ranging in size. I couldn't find how you painted the string in the video but will work it out once the baubles have dried. I too have had a tube of DS Rose of Ultramarine for years and this is the first time I've used it ..what a gorgeous colour!
Glad you enjoyed this tutorial. I drew a line for the string with a ruler and HB pencil then later on in the tutorial I used some PVA glue and glitter. Hope that helps? 😊
Oh my word how fabulous are they 👍👏! Love the Rose of Ultramarine - what a glorious colour and love how it separates. You found some great mixed size glitter - super effective. I foresee an horrendous spread of that all over my kitchen 🤩👏! Big thanks - too beautiful 😍
Thank you so much Karen, I really really enjoyed watching you create these Beautiful and Stunning baubles they are so pretty and I wasn’t sure about the glitter, but it looks amazing too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Karen, for such a fun and inspiring project. I love Christmas season and experimenting with all your watercolor techniques will make this year even more meaningful for me. I'm coming out of a rough year, and this is just what I needed to reaffirm my creative spirit.
Really nice! I just made a card with 2 bulbs yesterday using a different technique but I love yours so much better! Many thanks for sharing this and your beautiful work with us. I'll be doing these soon too. 😊
I had to subscribe. I am a beginner but with your paintings I think I could make these. I already tried your Christmas card paintings and they turned out quite nice. Tfs.
Such lovely baubles, Karen! I've painted these so Thank you so much! Mine are not so Gorgeous as yours BUT pretty not bad though I say so myself!! I was struggling to get my other baubles to look spherical AND shiny so this great tutorial of yours has been just Brilliant!! Thank you, Karen for your expertise over the years! Your tutorials are fab! Happy Christmas to you n yours! 🎄 Love, Mel in Devon 🍰🌻
Just start! You have nothing to lose. Think of it as playing with paint. Maybe start with swatching or color mixing just to get to know the materials and breaking them in.
Wow, I had no idea you could brush thinned PVA glue over watercolor without re-activating the watercolor and making a mess. I don't have any sort of chunky glitter like you've got here...but I do have some automotive metalflakes in several colors, some being holographic--also tons of dry pearl powders. I could also try using gold or silver leaf--I have some unusual variegated colors. I can use my airbrushes to add a subtle smoke/cloud background. This is a great basic card design to work with--I have 10 Christmas cards w/ envelopes to paint and can make them all basically the same but different. Thanks for posting this!
Karen, these baubles turned out beautifully! I love touch of both salt and glitter. Thank you for sharing your talent. Happy holidays to you and yours.
Fabulous and what wonderful narration. I had Emma Thompson pictured in my head.
Wow, thank you!

I love your videos.❤ It all looks so easy. I bought a watercolor starter set. With paint,brush and pad. But I just don't dare to just try it. 😂😮
You can do it!
Just start! You have nothing to lose. Think of it as playing with paint. Maybe start with swatching or color mixing just to get to know the materials and breaking them in.

Thanks,
