EASY gouache Flower Painting Tutorial- using mixed media paper

[@darnelleechols8556]

"Do not compare yourself to anyone else". No matter how many times we hear that, somehow we still need to be reminded. Thanks for that reminder. :) Have a great day Ellen! 💜

[@ellencrimitrent]

Absolutely!

[@leslie-annepepin8927]

When you mix colours, you remind me of how I cook. ‘A little bit of this, a little bit of that’. Priceless. I did my first abstract birch today! You took about a quarter of the time it took me, but I had so much fun! (The hardest part was ripping the stupid tape for the trees, lol). I am 66 and just started as I have been in for a year, not able to see family (8 grandkids), and had to do SOMETHING. I am so glad I found you on KZbin. Thank you so much. I always have a smile watching you. Stay safe.

It's early Saturday morning and I'm the first one awake. I absolutely love this quiet time when I can watch painting tutorials in a quiet space while sipping my hot coffee and feeling cozy. Wow...your painting is lovely. I just ordered this paper and can't wait to give it a try. I love the Pointsettia painting you showed us as well. I hope you'll be treating us to a tutorial on that too. Love the gold! Thank you Ellen, my day is off to the right start.

I love this picture and your showing us how to use the gouache, mix media paper and brushes! Awesome!

[@pamvance7378]

I LOVE the black lines on the petals 😊

[@ArtByKarenEHaley]

Excuse me, I must say your art style is so dreamy! I feel like I'm drinking a warm tea with honey when I look at this painting. Can't explain it any other way.

[@catherineadkins2774]

Beautiful! I love to watch you paint and try new things. Another great video! 😊

[@carmenospina2203]

I actually like with the black. Very pretty.

[@amandastratton8242]

Lovely relaxing painting Ellen ( to Look at) don't know if relaxing will be the right word when I try to paint it but I will try to chill out with it. Thank you for sharing your inspiration

[@leslie-annepepin8927]

I just ordered the paper! Can’t wait to try it. Thank you!

[@Angie-pl3uw]

I love this painting. I’m glad you added the last bit of contrasting green. It is very subtle, but it adds completion? to the piece. Sorry I don’t have a very painterly vocabulary!

[@nazmakabirArt]

Beautiful. I will use white gouache on black paper, because I have those at home right now. It looked very simple and easy but pretty!!

[@dotydiva]

I just bought some gouache so excited to give this a try. Thanks for the video

[@jaynewilson6392]

Wow, I love the dimensional feel of the flowers painted on the colored paper in the gouache. I haven't painted with it before but I love that effect.

[@renatecormick7399]

Oh I’m so happy to see you do more Gouache painting. I’m really keen to learn more about using my gouache paints, which I bought years ago and didn’t quite know what to do with them. Will also need to buy some multi-medium paper. Thanks Ellen for this tutorial. Renate.

[@sharonsheffield2734]

Thank you Ellen for the great tutorial. I always enjoy your painting. So lovely on the toned grey paper. I have learned so much watching you paint.

[@christinebarone2151]

I love the options you show us. Thank you again Ellen, have an amazing weekend.

[@christinebarone2151]

Lovely, I really love working with gouache as well. The colored paper is something I would enjoy trying.

[@ellencrimitrent]

Go for it!

[@mwGoosman]

It’s been awhile since I’ve watched you paint...I forgot how much I liked it! I now have a gouache set & the toned paper. Thank you for sharing and your inspiration 😁

[@ellencrimitrent]

Welcome back!

[@artmilirosecz3483]

Very nice paiting

[@ellencrimitrent]

Many many thanks

[@naimachabou-khellafi4087]

very very nice and élégante. I will try it tomorow.

[@ellencrimitrent]

Wonderful!

[@kayrabey1344]

I like the all white. I may try painting it. I make birthday cards of all of girls and a few great grand boys.

[@kimberlyearly8918]

I loved this tutorial, Ellen! I personally liked the painting you did in the video compared to the one you had already done. I haven't watched a tutorial lately because I haven't had time to paint for the last couple of months. The quality of the video has really improved. Enjoyed the relaxing music, too! Ordered all 3 colors of the toned papers. 😁 Oh, I just got some acrylics too so I'll check out your other channel!

[@joycesnodgrass7068]

WOW...love this! Thank you💛

[@ellencrimitrent]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kayrabey1344]

Using your arm not just your hand. That helped a lot quite a long time ago. Noticing helps me remember.

[@debh3404]

BEAUTIFUL! Now I need gouache. I've told myself a million times that I don't need it. I suddenly DO.

[@ellencrimitrent]

It's so good!

Gorgeous Ellen. Just Gorgeous! Hey, I'm first to comment I think. Yay me!

[@ellencrimitrent]

Yes you are!

[@trinawilliams1395]

It is amazing to me what you can do and make it look so effortless. I love the simplicity of this painting, yet it is so beautiful. I'm really enjoying your channel, for both the tutorials and the positive energy that you share. Many thanks!

[@ellencrimitrent]

Thank you very much!

[@towardsthelight4919]

Thanks for the tutorial 🙏 .....just wondering how do you keep your gouache from drying out on the palette while you work ? Mine seem to dry very quickly

[@yvonnehusic9879]

Ellen, I think in one of your videos you mentioned a product to help acrylic paints move smoother when painting, but I can’t remember the product. You talked about dipping the brush in the medium before painting. Do you know what I mean?

[@christinegentes9096]

Just bought all three colors of the paper

[@candicelane13]

If you don’t have the colored paper what would be the best thing to paint the background with

[@ellencrimitrent]

Paint a wash of watercolor ☺️

[@renatecormick7399]

Sorry, that should have been “mixed-medial paper, don’t know what I was thinking about there. Just looking forward to using my Gouache paints. Thanks again. PS. Love the painting of the red flowers, would like to see you do a tutorial on that one. R.

[@Wildflowerafternoons]

Saved this to paint letter. I see it has gouache.

[@christinegentes9096]

Like the second one better
