[@cherigreen4471]

Love your winter scene! I am new to watercolor and I have done acrylics for years and thank you for tip about using an acrylic brush. I have lots of stiff acrylic brushes. Yay, I didn't ruin the new tooth brush I got for snow!

[@ellencrimitrent]

Cheri Green yay! Thanks 😊

[@catcain5119]

Really lovely and it's even relaxing watching you paint! lol I'm just learning. Thank you for this video!

[@cheryl7476]

I love the watercolor paper you use. It is magical, especially watching the trees bleed out and blend. Will get some, after I practice a bit more, for I want my trees to do this! Thanks, Ellen.

You’re welcome 😉

[@snowyart3338]

I love this time of year and winter paintings are my favourite, love the way you've painted the misty background trees and then the bare trees on top, really good effect and technique :)

[@didosmorris6212]

Gorgeous going to have a go at this one ❤️

[@ellencrimitrent]

Thank you 😊

[@Nothingeditz098]

Very very very beautiful i got 100 in my painting exam woo ho😊😊😀

[@cheryl7476]

I wanted to pay particular attention to how soothing your voice is when you teach. Watercolor is such a restful way to make art, and listening to you allows me to relax as I learn. Your trees are gorgeous and the entire painting has a magical winter feel. Of course, you know about splattering with a toothbrush! 😉. Oh yes, I have a question. Since I don’t have very nice paper yet, but I will when I have a coupon and it’s not nuts in the big box art stores. My question is, how can I make my Mission Gold watercolor have the look of your trees, prior to painting Branches? I have struggled with this on my current Canson paper?

[@ellencrimitrent]

thank you so much!

[@annettefournier9655]

I know the feeling . Cellulose paper (I started with canson XL) just won't diffuse like cotton watercolor paper. A paper called Bee Paper makes a 100% cotton paper really affordable and easy to work with. It comes in packs of 25 to 50, 6x9 sheets on Amazon for 12 to 14 dollars usually. Arches was just to expensive for me to practice on. Two years later having increased my skill a bit, I still don't like Arches paper. It is very unforgiving. Walmart also online has the bee paper sheets. The bee paper pads are cellulose usually so just a heads up. It's hard to find out about paper I had found, as a beginner. Though I still use cellulose papers for some things. Even student grade paints look good on cotton paper though and it doesn't have to come down to do I eat or buy decent paper?

[@cheryl7476]

Annette, I’m an “eat first, then buy art supplies, although, hubby thinks it’s the reverse. Thanks for the head up. I’m ready for cotton paper and will save the Canson for other art projects and for the neighbor kids to do projects with me, here in my home. Thanks so much for taking the time to let me know, Annette.

[@lyndaculp5060]

Oh my goodness, I love this one too! I was working on the cabin minis today but I HAVE to try this!! You are so awesome!!!

[@ellencrimitrent]

Thanks this one is super easy and fun!

[@donnadonohue4998]

I really liked it I think it needs a bunny and tracks. Lol. But I’d be happy just to paint the snow scene. Perhaps we can get a bunny in winter tutorial 💙

[@ellencrimitrent]

Donna Donohue I just did a fox in snow tutorial check it out 😊

[@donnadonohue4998]

I just saw it too cute. You are a great teacher. 💙💕💙

[@lyndaculp5060]

I think it would be fun to add just one teeny red bird/ cardinal for just an unexpected splash of colour!

[@ellencrimitrent]

True!! But u can do that 😊

[@mirandafann]

I agree! I think I'll try this and add a little red fox.🦊💕

[@patriciahart4209]

Which colour did you use for the sky?

[@judygowens4049]

Beautiful winter scene and easy to do. Do wish you would speak louder though.

[@ellencrimitrent]

I am speaking loud you might want to check your settings. Thanks 😊

[@ellencrimitrent]

I do ! Check your settings 😊

[@RXbee2]

Odd I can usually hear your perfectly but on full blast here and barely audible. Still, I totally appreciate you sharing this gorgeous painting technique -- love your work!

[@aliiljah8224]

Ellen, I really hate to say this because I like your videos. I have to turn my volume up to 100 just to barely hear you. Other videos it is at 35-40. I don't know what the problem is would you please check on it. Thank you so much.

[@ellencrimitrent]

Alicia Danowski I don’t have to do this and your the only saying this on all my videos maybe check your device. ? I have 1 art therapy Thursday video that I speak low but the rest are normal.

[@nangustafson8110]

Beautiful! I’m so going to paint this. One comment tho...when you first start out you mumble. :)

[@ellencrimitrent]

Lol okay! Thanks 😊 still working through this mic and talking -thanks

[@munchnmonkey]

Can barely hear you!

[@ellencrimitrent]

The mic might have gotten a bit muted in middle - I cannot fix it just put on mute and you can read the CC

[@Alloniya]

cute little trees!

[@ellencrimitrent]

Thank you 😊
