[@AndyMan365]

I've painted for fun for most of my life, and it never ceases to amaze me how you often come across someone like Ellen who teaches you something nice and simple and adds to your enjoyment.. thank you Ellen 😊

[@jadexx3]

Love your style of painting and the way you teach! Thank you! 🌸💕

[@ellencrimitrent]

Thank you so much!

[@Sassylassie1111]

Thank you!! My mother's favorite bird is a Hummingbird so I'll be practicing this until I get one that I can give her!

[@pamelaroderick6588]

you’re a fabulous teacher! i started watercolor at 64 .. no lessons except what i see on youtube

[@karensuter2898]

LOVE the sound effects!! They enhance the “stress free” atmosphere of your exceptional tutorials!

[@peculiardeb]

I miss having time to watch your videos. You taught me so much. Hubby had a stroke soI been busy with him. Thanks for being here!!💕

[@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!!

[@wendyhansen3223]

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

[@iHanna]

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

[@ericaroberts5829]

😂😂 we are our own worst critics!!! I'm store they're gorgeous! Ellens tutorials taught me how to paint flowers with watercolor ❤

[@kaylenegarvey3869]

😂😂😂

[@lanieduncan4446]

[@cpnotill9264]

Would love to see them Hanna!

[@JedannaH]

Love your comment!

[@ullazitabinder2091]

that was pure joy watching this painting coming to life :) imagine that water coloring can look this easy :)

[@SusanWymolaArtrepreneur]

I Love your technique Ellen. I like the top bird's wings because of the wispy little details. This is a great lesson!

[@anja1827]

Omg,,,, i did it, my first hummingbird, i am so proud of myself, thanx Ellen, greetings from the Netherlands

[@ellencrimitrent]

Wonderful!

[@christinemcclester2695]

Hi Anja 👋 greetings from Ohio USA…this is my first bird as well. I just adore Ellen and am learning so much!

[@philisbramlett6890]

You are so relaxed , we can't go wrong right ? You have so much confidence in your audience . You make it sound easy . First of all we need to RELAX ❤ This our first . I have no idea what kind of paper, paint medium you mention . I just got the paper for water color mediums ( very cheap ) . We all have squirt bottles ! Thank you ! I'll try 🥴.

[@philisbramlett6890]

I have forgotten how to paint, draw, using different mediums . This is such a refreshing visit to my first wishlist painting ! I could horses in detail d musculature.but now everything sit s in my art bags all zipped up.. I think I'll grab some scratch pad sketchbook and while I'm being inspired come join you very soon ❤. Your voice and flub up giggles remind me tok laugh at myself which sure brings gorgeous colors to the tip of your brush .Look what we're missing 🎨🖌️. Thank you 🕯️

[@rubyfisch5077]

[@gabrielabosenberg3987]

Thank you so much, Ellen.I am starting with a series of birds, and this is the perfect start.

[@ellencrimitrent]

You are so welcome

[@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.
