One thing I do which I don't hear mentioned a lot is a way I have of obliterating the whole painting. If you use a small amount of Gum Arabic in the water it makes paint lift easier so if I'm well into a piece of work and have gone badly wrong I just get a strong garden sprayer and wash the lot away. With the Gum Arabic in the mix it brings the paper almost back to white but also leaves a ghost image so it's easy to re draw. MUST let the paper dry thoroughly though and of course if you want any really white highlights when you rework it use Gouache. This works well for me.
Thank you so much for sharing your tip! Great idea. I will give it a go 😀
I've always been afraid of watercolours. But now, thank to you, I fell in love with them. I enjoy playing with paints and water. It's so much fun. Thank you so much, Karen .❤
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much, Karen! You are a wonderful teacher and artist!
Yes Karen!
Thank you! :)
I love how you take chances, decide it was wrong but then don't panic and somehow get it all back on track! I panic! Just lately I have had a painter's block, I have fiddled too much, lost the intensity of colour, and the worst is ended up with a mish mash of tones, so I gave up. Best paint when you are not tired, have time and inclination. Sigh, you make it look way too easy! Love your calmness and dedication to putting it right.
Thanks for your message, and we all have days when out paintings just don't work, so try not to be too hard on yourself. The reason why I keep calm now is because I have had many failures and have learnt from them. Less is more with watercolour! :)
@@KarenRiceArt amen! Yes, I agree, I tend to overwork my paintings, that is why I love semi-abstract landscapes, it's the unpredictability of watercolour how it paints itself!
Thanks for showing your mistakes and how to go about correcting them. As a beginner some of these have happened to me and I have panicked and ruined the piece by overcorrecting and making everything muddy. Also thanks for showing different ways of getting detail in like with the card. You are the only one I have seen do this! 😊 I think I am still too heavy handed even with a very thin brush so struggle to get nice thin lines. Thank you for your video and tips!!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
How wonderful. You make me braver because I know I can spray what I have done that I don't like away.
Thank you Ann, so pleased that you liked the tutorial and it has made you braver! The spray bottle is a miracle worker!! Happy Painting :)
Love your loose style of painting...your videos are a such a joy to watch...your love of watercolour shines through...thank you for sharing your techniques...much appreciated!
Thank you so much Theresa, I am really glad my love for watercolour shines through! :)
Karen you are perfect !!!
You are too kind :) Thank you!!
superb Technic I learnt from your work
Thank you!
I agree. I also learn so much watching how to remain calm and think about how to work with what's going on. How to 'not fiddle' ...that's such a great term!
Thank you! It's so important to keep calm and work out why to do! I always tell my students "thou shalt not fiddle!" :)
What a gordious painting. I love it. When you skraped some paint away with your plastic card and made little sqares, I saw buildings, and I thourght: "What er lovely place to live with that increble wiew". Then you removed it with your spritzer bottle 😆
Very nice landscape painting,nice tutorial, thankyou
Thank you:)
I m joining you and think your membership fee very reasonable . You are exactly what I need as my lockdown companion. We have just entered Tier 3 so escaping into paint and water worlds is wonderful
Thank you so much for joining Judy! We all need a little art therapy at the moment in these very trying times! Stay safe 😀
I love your excitement you are fun!
Thank you so much Karen for your lovely comment, I'm so happy that you find the tutorial is fun, they are such fun to paint! Happy painting :-)
I really enjoyed this. And I love your quiet enthusiasm and patience. I’m off to cut up a credit card!
So glad that you enjoyed this tutorial, enjoy using the credit card! Happy painting :-)
You make it look so simple and easy.
Such a joy to watch you create, react and create some more. Precious few instructors let us see the mistakes and how to rectify them. Wishing you blessings and joy!
Great comment Linda, Create, React and Create some more! Love it! Thank you. I believe you can learn so much from your mistakes. Importantly don't panic see it as an opportunity, you never know quite what will happen to a watercolour painting! Take care & best wishes to you :)
Thank you for sharing your enthusiasum and great techniques. I love your channel!
Thank you Marisa, so glad you like the channel, thanks for watching and for your lovely comment! :)
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
Karen you are a delight. Thank you so much for posting this video when others maybe wouldn't because it shows" mistakes". They're not really mistakes. A mistake is when you give up and you didn't. You were honest with us about the ebb and flow of painting and for that I thank you. It gives me hope that I can tackle this medium. 😘
Thank you Frieda, what a lovely message! That's a great way of looking at it as well. I am delighted that it gives you hope to paint in watercolour! :)
Thank you for your honest comments and not editing out the “mistakes”. Your videos are encouraging.
Thanks Susan, so glad you appreciated the "mistakes" they are an important part of the process :)
I'm really enjoying your videos I am self teaching myself to paint with watercolors. Was wondering if you could recommend some brushes. I don't want to spend too much because I'm just starting out, but I would like something that is good. Thank you
Just love your soft atmospheric painting Karen.
Thanks you Cydney! :)
Hi Karen! I tried this today. It turned out fairly well. I have shared it on Instagram and tagged you. Joining the tutorial is the best thing that I have done. I am learning so much and I started working on watercolors a couple of months ago. The tilting worked well for me.
Thank you so much Nandita! Just found this on Instagram! You are a very creative artist!
@@KarenRiceArt, thank you. I did one more today, not following any video, but tried to work on something on my own. I think it turned out better. I couldn't manage to get the stones with the plastic card. But the rest was better executed, considering the fact that I did not have any reference video or picture. I have shared it and tagged you on Instagram. Thank you for all the help and encouragement.
Amazing work Karen 😊👍🏻
Thank you :)
Really like all your techniques & showing how to correct perceived mistakes
Thanks so much Linda, really glad you liked the techniques, I think its important to show what happens and how to remedy mistakes :)
REPLY
Impressed with your enthusiasm--and good to see how to correct issues when they happen.
Thanks Marilynn! I thought it would be a good idea to show my mistakes and to demonstrate how to deal with them :)

Getting stuck when painting from a photo is often a problem for me. I sometimes do make things up from my imagination and it's surprising how sometimes that turns out better. I can draw from photos pretty well, and don't usually get stuck there. Many fine tips in this video. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you.
Thank you so much! Painting from a photo can be tricky... You almost have to interpret it and not copy... using it as a reference. I love painting from my imagination, it takes all the pressure off!
I am watching your videos for the first time, and I love some of your different techniques: store card, twig, etc. Thank you!
Thank you so glad you like the different techniques! They are so much fun!! :)
Very nice video you are a very good artist my grandma is an artist to 👍👍👍 i subscribed to your channel
Thank you for your comment and subscribing! :)
Oh I love this painting Karen 😍
Thank you Pauline 😀
You give me the courage to go loose! Thanks!
That's brilliant Shari, sometimes that's all we need to have a go :)
Восторг!!Только восторг от Ваших акварелей!!!Вы рисуете веточкой какого то дерева?
Loved this tutorial.....I've learned so much from you, Ty you are a great teacher
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Thanks Karen, it was SO useful to see how to rectify mistakes instead of ripping them up and feeding the paper bin! Strong pigment is the key, I noticed.
Hi Barbara! Great comment! Yes instead of ripping them up, just go gentle and use water and dilute... then use strong pigment. Thank you so much :)
I love it. Thanks
Thank you 😊
I love your philosophy and mindset regarding watercolor. Sometimes things will go wrong. We can fix some things, other times we can embrace those mistakes. You are a wealth of talent and generosity in sharing your art and your knowledge with us. I am so glad I found your channel. Thanks for all you do for us in the art community!
Thank you so much Suzette for your amazing comment! So pleased that you like my channel! Mistakes make us better! Take care, happy painting :)
LOVE THIS 😍 so loose and free with so many lovely effects. Also big fan of grasses and flowers in the foreground. Will definitely try this technique next.

How magical! I love your videos so much, Karen. Also your honest sharing the process of painting with all those ups and downs is actually supporting and encouraging. Thank you 🙏
You are so welcome! Really pleased you found this helpful, supporting and encouraging! Yeah! :)
Thank you for your fantastic videos Karen, during this lockdown I’ve had precious time I don’t normally have to play with my paint and learning your techniques I’ve had a bit of a watercolour ‘epiphany’! X
Thank you Jill so much, so pleased that you like the videos and are getting the time to paint during lockdown. It's so wonderful that you have had a watercolour "epiphany"! You must be delighted! Happy painting :)
Simply beautiful! I have been going through your landscape paintings and choosing the simplest ones I could paint. They are so beautiful, yet intimidating to paint. I’m more comfortable with flowers but I want to learn landscape and seascape too. I’ll just keep on practicing. You’re a great inspiration, Karen. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
Thank you so much Corazon! This is a good landscape to start with when you are learning to paint landscapes in watercolour :)
@@KarenRiceArt I’m working on this right now. So happy to join Patreon. Since January first, i have painted 16 of your videos and have been very happy of my progress. I love that you use different materials and techniques.
Thank you again .. Great video. Seems I may have given up on my paintings a little early ... Maybe , they just weren't finished .. Your final touches really brought this painting from mediocre to very nice.
Thank you Edward... It really is just those finishing touches sometimes that can pull a painting together. So glad you found this tutorial helpful. 😊
I absolutely love your tutorials and some pieces of advice. 😊
Thank you so much!

Hi Karen I just came across your Chanel this is beautiful, I am an artist but usually work with acrylics, and have only just started working with watercolours a about six months ago and am loving the way the paint moves. I really enjoy your relaxed attitude, as I find myself panicking halfway through a piece of work, but will definitely be trying this tomorrow l really love it. Your don’t worry and fixing mistakes is so refreshing and give me some confident to be patience and trust the process. Learning that it often get ugly before it get beautiful 😂 thank you so much for sharing your talent, tip and advice, just started using a twig it a great tool. A beautiful piece, l have subscribed and look forward to seeing more or your work... go well Karen go well.
Thank you Sigourney for your lovely message! So glad that you like the video and that it has inspired you. Thank you for your subscription lots more fun relaxed videos to follow! :-)
Thank you Karen, l painted this this evening and it came out really well, l haded a few splashes of pink to give the impression of a few flowers of he bank and really like the touch of colour. I really like your style of teaching, l will be trying another one of your landscapes tomorrow. Thank you for all your tips the trees came out really well using the twig plus the card and the fixing of mistakes, but most of all for sharing your talent. 😍
Brilliant!
Thank you :)

Hurrah! Well done Deb, and thank you for your great comment! :)
I did yesterday my version of this 😊.
Wonderful :)
👌 Thank you.
So glad yo like the video :)
I don’t even have an interest in art but WOW this is good
Thank you! What a wonderful comment! :)
Absolutely gorgeous, thank you for sharing and teaching your thought process and mistakes, the correcting of mistakes is the best part because I make plenty. What white watercolor do you use to add in light? I have never been successful with that. TIA
Thank you Meg for your comment, so glad you like the tutorial. Especially the correcting the mistakes part! I use Windsor and Newton white gouache, I find it’s the best quality white paint out there for watercolour painting. Hope this was helpful, take care :-)
you are amazing !!!
Thank you for watching.
Merci bcp !
vous êtes le bienvenu :)
I love your work! It's always lovely. Are you self taught? Or are you trained in art? Either way, you have a wonderful eye. Thank you for showing corrections. I have often painted things and wanted to fix something and haven't been able to fix it.
Thank you Elizabeth, I did my BA degree in art in the 1980's, but a lot of what I do now is self taught! I hope the fixes help with your painting, thanks again :)
Hello again Karen. I love this one. The greens are gorgeous. Did you actually use any masking fluid or a pencil? I'm off to have a go and to see what happens!! Thanks. Sue
Thank you Susan, no masking fluid or pencil this time. Have a go, its great fun :)
i’ll try this later today.
Thank Jennifer for your comment, I hope you enjoy painting today :)
Grazieeee sempre eeeeeh complimenti iiii 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Grazie Eugenia :)
Hi Karen thanks for your lovely abstract work you are sharing with us. My question is do you stretch your 300 gm paper at all ? Thanks from Perth Australia
Thank you Glenys for your lovely comments so pleased that you like my abstract paintings in watercolour. I don’t stretch my paper, I use watercolour paper on a block pad, it prevents the paper from buckling. Hope this is helpful? happy painting :-)
