I did this, it took me 50 minutes not 5, and my hummingbirds look like drag queen ducks!

[@brendaleetaylor9566]

[@ellencrimitrent]

[@carriegriffith4922]

I started painting last summer ( 1 year ago). Hummingbirds are my favorite animal and I’m always thankful for a new perspective and tutorial on how to paint or draw these amazing creatures. Thank you for your channel and your teaching! When I retire, I’m going on one of your watercolor trips! Mark my words!

[@easysunshineart7215]

While watching you painting, I could feel the joy and fun you kept talking about” have fun”. Love it. Thank you so much❤❤❤❤

[@muggywebster1117]

Thanks for sharing, It's awesome!

[@christinemcclester2695]

I can’t thank you enough! You hit the nail on the head because I got supplies for Christmas and am intimidated to try anything other than a rose and a galaxy. Just learning at age 55 and am grateful to have found you here and on Tiktok! Excited to learn more!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you 🥰

[@ellencrimitrent]

You are so welcome!

[@joangrassi774]

Love how you make it look so easy and fun. I am such a perfectionist and I have to learn how to be more loose and have more fun. I get overwhelmed and then I do nothing. Got to get more daring and you really help with that. Did a lot of your Christmas designs as Christmas cards and loved all of them. Thanks for making painting look and feel fun. Can’t wait to try these darling birds.

[@shannon8315]

Hummingbirds are the sweetest birds. I saved a fledgling that fell in my front yard. Then let him go and he's still eating from my feeders a year later. They're so delicate.

[@Doggymomma52]

I’m saving this for sure. Been in a block and was sick. Been at least 3-4 weeks since I picked up a brush.

[@ellencrimitrent]

I feel ya was there around Xmas time!

[@amandastratton8242]

[@diannedidomizio52747]

❤So Pretty!! Perfect Bird for Watercolor!!

[@wendyhansen3223]

Such a lovely piece. My favorite thing in summer watching all those birds fight over feeders in my yard.

[@not-so-mel-ancholy]

I am new to watercolor painting, as in i opened the brushes up right before i gave this tutorial a whirl...it took me a lot longer than the video, as I would pause, rewind and replay as i learned. I am thrilled at how my first painting turned out, and i appreciate your easy to follow style and flow! Looking forward to watching and learning more! THANK YOU!!

[@dianecharest8365]

I love your confidence Ellen. The way you get in there and not worry and everything comes out perfect. I can ne er paint as nice as you. Yourr good. Thanks for teaching us.

[@jasminhembrow9400]

[@Jendollla]

Love this. I am trying to doodle while on my lunch. I attempted this. My bird is a little on the thin side. Lol, I painted it with the vivivia color sheets, so my colors are bold . Still, it's a fun practice . Thanks for the idea and tutorial.
