Your talent for watercolor is incredible. When I need a break from life I turn one of your videos on and escape into your painting. Thank you!

Your rock technique is fantastic. So quickly the “blobs” became realistic rock formations. Perfect. Thank you for sharing your expertise! You are a wonderful teacher and an amazing artist!

My son would love this as a Christmas card! Brilliant!

Absolutely love this painting. You are an incredible artist and teacher. Thank you for the tips. So helpful.

oh it is amazing... I cannot wait to do this one...

Oh my goodness! Watching you paint that beautiful painting was something else! It was amazing. You have such a great talent. Thank you, there is no way that I could paint like that. 😍😍

Soo cool..so cool with the little people too. Working on my little people .Needs practice, but coming along.

Super! I especially like the rocks.

I love your imagination and techniques to bring it all together. Have a happy holiday and many thanks for your inspiration.

Love this, thank you.

A wonderful playtime that becomes a super painting 🤩. The DS merry Christmas Tree Green is an amazing base colour for making a huge range of greens - loving it. Big thanks 🙏😁😘

Wow! I am loving your tutorials and your painting style. I think I can really learn to loosen up my watercolor skills by watching you. I’m glad I found your channel. To be continued….

Karen, you’re so talented! Thanks for this beautiful tutorial! Sometimes when I want to relax and paint something from my imagination I play your tutorials in the background and listen to your voice as I paint. It makes me feel as though I’m painting with a friend, you keep me feeling encouraged! Thanks Karen!! ❤

Thank you for the tutorial. Your trees look so natural. I will have to try your technique and loosen up!

💐 This is so nice. I love the soft and misty effects and the way the children are sheltered in it by the trees. THank you It was fun to try painting this.

I really, really.....really! need to do this. I'm just having a miserable time lately. Thank you for your encouragement and suggestions.

I just love the way you teach! And with it - your voice and dialect! You are a true inspirator! I wish you a lovely christmas season❣️ Maria

Great tutorial filled with helpful hints. Thanks so much for sharing your talent! ❤

FANTASTIC...!!! As always... 👏🎶📽️🖋️📖🖌️🎨

Great video, Karen! Discovering the concept of using a limited color palette has genuinely transformed the way I approach watercolor painting. A suggestion to simplify choices by narrowing down the color options is, indeed, a game-changer. It's fascinating how this approach not only reduces choice paralysis but also fosters a more intuitive painting process.

So helpful to me! Beautifully done! I love your channel!!

Your style is amazing. I am glad to see these paintings without pencil. I was trained as a pencil artist but I gave it up cause it felt boring, but seeing paintings like this is amazing, exciting, and also surprising. I particularly like this style with NO pencil. I will be studying all your videos in detail, was also wondering if you have a book on this style with no pencil. Is it considered "free form"? And was wondering if this NO pencil style is mostly always done wet on wet? Even your paintings with a pencil used as outline are very dreamlike and beautiful in a creative way. Something that is often not the case in a lot of styles I see. Your work shows that there are ways to use a pencil and still make the painting a painting and not just a drawing of a photograph so am keeping and open mind, but I am mostly interested in this style that only uses a paint brush. I got water colors a month ago and have done about 150 paintings, nothing good,but I am mostly practicing and your paints are by far the most inspiring. That Milky Way painting is one of the most incredible things I ever saw. Do you have any advice for developing a style that uses NO pencil and just the paint brush? Thank you

I’m so glad I came across your tutorials of water painting trees and forest. Thank you for sharing your talent!

Wow! You mane it look so easy!

Just beautiful!

Now I am stressed to be stressed free!!! 🤣🤣🤣 And your technique with the rock is very amazing to me BTW. I never consider using it to achieve such a texture!

This is lovely! Thanks for sharing.

you're an amazing artist and teacher! thank you so much

Amazing, Karen and so simple!

Gorgeous

Your videos are always very informative! Thank you! ❤

Ciao and Merry Christmas Karen

This is stunning, i love it ❤❤❤

Ohhh! I’m so re-inspired! Thank you!

Love it 😊💖

Thanks Karen

Fabulous insight, thanks 😊

Very nice and imaginative, Karen

Wonderful video. I bought some watercolors on a whim and painted some simple Christmas cards. I struggle with knowing when to keep adding and when to stop. I'm not "creative" at all but am enjoying the process.

Beautiful ❤️❤️

Thank you excellent and so helpful!

Thanks so much I really learned a lot

This is really pretty

Thank you so much!

This was sooo nice to get.

🎄🎄🎄 Так !просто (здається) і красиво !❄❄❄❤

@KarenRiceArt have you ever done a live painting with Daniel Smith? Would you like to?

I love your gorgeous paintings and clear explanations! It is funny how often you say “sort of”. Seems very British😂

Дякую❤ Чудовий урок.

Greetings Karen! Love the painting tips Do you ever take an unplanned break from painting? I mean, just don't have the urge?

❤

Thank you for another inspiring tutorial. You’re so positive, encouraging and generous with your tips on techniques. They’re all very useful, to me the most important will probably be the “don’t become a slave of the photograph” one. I wish you a happy Christmas and festive season. Francesca

Nope. It was still stressful. I tried it. 😂 My trees ended up fully covered in snow, btw 😂 I wish I could losen up in my head in general.

Lovely could you spell the first thin brush you used cheers

How are these simple casual moves end up so big at the end!? I keep being struck.
