Thanks! Your tutorials totally changed my approach to painting. I feel like I went from "copier" to "artist". You are a fantastic teacher!

What I like about your approach Karen is that nothing is rushed - you don't have to get things done before the paper dries.

[ransfordmclean]

Karen, you’re by far one of the best in my book.

Yeah it doesn't look exactly like the photograph. Guess what, it looks prettier! Love the dramatic look on it! 🌊

This reminds me of Falmouth S-Cornwall I have been in 1970, what a nice place this was. I did not want to leave this gorgeous fisher town, but I had to go back to school. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.

This painting turned out beautifully! Stunning, in fact! There is nothing I enjoy more than learning more loose watercolour techniques. Thank you!

[randallbartlett]

I love the freedom in which Karen paints. Wonderful misture of values and contrast!!

[mahendrakondekar]

This is great learning for me. It includes all important water colour basics and other hacks. The painting appeals more than the photo

[angelawalker]

This is what I love about watercolour - it’s delicate and ethereal, and you have captured it beautifully. Thank you! My style tends towards realism, you’ve inspired me to try ‘loose’.

Very precise THANKYOU it’s good to have a narrative this way. What happiness art is. To see and create. Wonderful

[catherineadkins]

Another great tutorial! I love the abstract landscape and the techniques you show us! It’s beautiful! As a beginner I have trouble being loose with my painting. These methods will be helpful!

[sarahnorthrop]

I painted this today! I didn't know I could paint like this. Thank you Karen, your tutorials are so clear and easy to follow. I'm new to this and have yet to master the sparkly water effect I think I need to invest in the correct brushes too! I thoroughly enjoy your videos and I really enjoyed painting this. 😊💖

[patriciadupuis]

What a terrific tutorial! It's so refreshing to be challenged by some abstract techniques, really stretching our creativity; it wakes us up! .I'm anxious to try it. As always, many thanks.

[maryannegunter]

Another beautiful watercolor and tutorial. It's so calming to watch and listen to your mellow voice. I will attempt this soon! Thank you

[adnil]

Truly, this is one of my favorite paintings of yours! The colors are gorgeous and the cliffs are so realistically painted
