| "The Magic of a Lake" $99 Image: 11" x 14" Watercolor Another Lake Scene from my memory. These are such quick paintings, but they are great exercises on timing. Wetting both sides of the paper allows for more time to paint the sky ad water with wet washes. Then, I change to a smaller 1/2 inch flat brush when I paint the tree masses. Changing colors often is the trick here. Adding salt at the base of the trees makes great bushes. These quarter sheet paintings only take about 15 minutes to do! |
Karen Knutson paints in mixed media, trying to make her paintings fun and easy. A wide range of subjects, including landscapes, figures, collage, abstracts, florals, and birds. Many lessons are included on this blog to encourage her art students. Teaching across the country makes her life a great journey.
Lovely piece. Thanks for the "how to" on your process. I will try it out!
