The color mixing in your tutorials are inspirational. As a beginner, I tend to go with straight colors rather than mixing colors for depth. I’ll rewatch and try to follow your ideas. I love how you use salt, spattering, Brusho etc. Please keep posting your inspirational videos. I’ve learned so much and look forward to each one.

Thank you so much Betty! Really pleased you find my tutorials inspiring! So glad you found the colour mixing helpful as well! Salt, spattering and Brusho are so much fun! More tutorials to come! 😊

This has to be one of the BEST tutorials ever for new watercolor students! It covers so much in such an organized and concise way. From color mixing to the techniques of masking, salt, brusho (no plastic wrap?! haha), it's just a great tutorial. And I love the painting itself! Thank you, Karen, for sharing your awesome talent! Love your tutorials.

Thank you, Karen for your marvellous videos which are really inspirational. I shall certainly be trying this one. As I also do pointed pen calligraphy, I often use a dip pen for intricate masking fluid work especially for things like the grasses in this painting and ears of corn etc. You can apply pressure to the nib to form lovely pear shaped ears of corn or fine petals which look great. I use a Leonardt Crown nib mostly and these are available from Scribblers Calligraphy Supplies for less than a pound.
