That's a great painting it really works with the limited palette
There is a warm patch in the sky too and all the marks come together
Thank you James
Thank you so much 😀
Wow I'm blown away at how breathtaking this painting is!
Thank you Natalie!!
Years ago it was Nita Engle and her amazing work I saw in one of the books she published that convinced me to give watercolor a go. You are as equally talented and this video is proof
Nota Engle is an amazing artist! Thank you for sharing! 😀
Every day I walk my dogs through a wood which, at this time of the year is filled with bluebells. I’ve often wondered how I would go about painting such a complex scene. Having watched your video, I think I’ll give it a go!
Many thanks.
So pleased you found this accessible. I hope you get a chance to paint something similar.
This painting is stunning Karen. I am so inspired by this new addition as well as your other blue bell forest scape tutorials. I always learn so much. Thank you for being such a great teacher.
You are so welcome
I am so inspired by your step by step descriptions! You’ve given me the confidence I need to crack open my paint box! Thanks so much!
I am so pleased this has given you confidence 😊
My goodness! How gorgeous the salt effect was for this painting. The salt in itself looks just like leaves, if leaves were white, you could've just left it alone! How crazy and cool this was!! So awesome, thank you again Karen!
Love using salt 😊
Just beautiful Karen - so atmospheric ❤. I loved your tree bark techniques - giving them texture and light makes such a difference and you managed to hold back on the spongeing! Stunning result 👏. Huge thanks 🙏
Thank you so much Chris! So pleased you like this one 😊
Its fantastic how you give listeners color alternatives. It gives you much better guidance on what colors to use, even without the specific color you use!
You're very welcome 😊
This is absolutely gorgeous and magical. I just was 2 weeks ago in a forest and those bluebells spread like a carpet between the trees. TFS
Thank you for sharing 😊
Geezz Karen, I was pretty impressed at 14.48 and had it been mine happy to finish, but then booyah! You took it to another level and beyond. Fabulous. All hail.
Wow! Thank you 😊
Thanks for the detailed layering technique. Will certainly help in the future.
So pleased you found this helpful 😊
This is so beautiful! And it's amazing how your color mixing suggestions harmonise with each other! It's so much prettier than to choose just a brown or a purple!
Thank you so much 😊

I'm really looking forward to trying my third attempt at watercolours. In my earlier years bluebell woods were a favourite of mine. Back then I worked with free-machine embroidery and so trees and flowers were perfect subjects. Later I changed to encaustic wax and again bluebell woods featured a lot. Now I'm 80 and recently I decided to look on TH-cam for help. When I found your beautiful work and helpful tutorials I started to paint, often in the middle of the night when I can't sleep , but painting stills my mind. My first painting was of your clover. So exciting to do and so pleased with the results. Thank you Karen x
Thank you again for your lovely comments 😊
Oooh my goodness , thanks Karen...wath a beautiful painting !
I must try this 🥰 ... wish you a lovely weekend with lots of sunshine ☀
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you very much for this valuable demo. It came to the right time when I try to figure out how to paint Sun light shining into the woods, and field of flowers. You have been a great teacher, and contributing to my growth in watercolor painting journey. Thank you!🙏🙏
Thank you! So pleased you found this helpful!!
Beautiful! It's given me such good inspiration for a painting I'd like to try... thank you!
Love this, and the colours. Thanks for the ongoing description and colour mixing it helps so much! Makes me want to walk into the painting!
So pleased you like this one!

@KarenRiceArt Actually, Karen, would you believe that I saved a front cover from an Art magazine for many years. It was a photo extremely similar to your painting. I decluttered the cover after many years cos I didn't have the techniques to reproduce the details and layers easily. It's brilliant that chances come round a second time in life. Thank you 🤗. I've also always wanted to be able to incorporate non-brush techniques to achieve "more for less" but our then art teach didn't employ any such 'tools' so i was double excited to see this video of yours ... I just have to get started again now as music practice has taken over 😆.... xG Ire
What an informative tutorial! Thank you❤
You are so welcome 😊
Lovely composition….bluebell woods make such nice paintings
Thank you Linda! I totally agree!

Thanks Jayne 😊
Outstanding stuff 👏👏👏
Thank you 😊
Karen, another home run. I just attempted your last tutorial and I am pleased with the result. You are so generous and inspiring. I have Nita’s How To make a Watercolor Paint Itself. Great info but I am not patient and rarely use masking fluid.
Thank you so much for sharing! Nita Engle is such an inspiration 😊
❤
Bellissimo, grazie per la condivisione.
Such a wonderful painting. How did you keep your painting wet so long? My paper seems to dry sooner.
I really soaked the paper. Also Saunders Waterford stays damp for quite a while. If your painting dries out, spritz with water 😊
What a stunning painting. I would love to try this, but I am a little scared. It seems beyond my experience since I’m a beginner.
Thank you Joann… I understand it can be a little daunting. Maybe start with a sketch on a smaller piece of paper to build confidence 😊
❤🙏
Question, Karen. How could you have your paper keeping wet in such a long time?
I went to the paper thoroughly and use to 100% cotton paper which does not dry out as quickly. Hope this is helpful.
What brand (pigment) aureolin do you use? I hear negative things about PY40, but it is the only transparent nonstaining yellow I can find.
I used Jackson art supplies 😊
Wonderful tutorial. Feel inspired to give it a go! One question, what kind of salt do you use? Thank you.
I use sea salt but you can use table salt, make sure it's not low salt. I recommend laying down some mid tone washes, wait for your paper to be damp, and sprinkle the salt. Give it time to work. Hopefully you will get some nice results 😊
Fabulous. Thanks. What’s the name of your palette?
Thanks Bonnie. The palette is made by Loxley.
Do you think we might be able to find it here in the US? Thank you!
I have such a struggle with wet in wet because it seems either I get my paper way too wet, or my paper dries way too quickly to have enough time to play around with it much at all. I suppose this all boils down to practice, right?!
You could use a spritzer bottle to spritz your paintings with a fine mist of clean water to stop your painting from drying out. I have always found 100% cotton paper the best as it does not dry out too quickly. Hope this is helpful.
Did you ever dry the painting while painting....or all wet quickly... what if part of painting dries as you work?
I did dry the painting and have noted drying times in the tutorial. I allow the salt to dry naturally. If the painting dries too quickly you can spritz it with water.
@@KarenRiceArt which salt do you use - coarse or fine? Thank you Karen.
What paper do you use 😊
I recommend 300gsm Cold Pressed watercolour paper 100% cotton A4 or bigger.
This was a nice one but very hard for me.
Give it a go… you may surprise yourself 😊
Is it 300gr paper?
Yes 300gsm
The end result is simply exquisite! Thanks ever so much Karen 😊👩🦳🖌️
Thank you so much!
At the later stages i can't get my colours as vivid and splashing dots of paint doesn't show up. Not sure what I'm doing wrong
You may be diluting your colours too much?
@Karen Rice Art I thought that, so I tried no diluting and it was better but still wishy washy. I only get a vivid colour if I don't mix. I'm wondering if I need different paint? I have cotman
