Watercolor Tutorial for Beginners- Loose Floral- Using Only 3 Colors!

[@jonnettemaslowski258]

Ellen, I love your loose flower technique. I feel realistic flower paintings don’t give flowers the natural beauty they deserve. Your flowers are beautiful and inspire me to paint loose and free.

[@loislandy3515]

Your technique of painting abstract flowers is most phenomenal because these flowers do look like real flowers in the abstract way .... I admire and love your tutorials... thank you ..A Bostonian

I love watching you paint intuitively......making changes as you go and as your imagination moves you. Even when I’m not painting along I learn so much from you. I got myself that no. 8 Princeton long round and I love it.....now I can’t stop using it!! You give great tips! Thanks Ellen!

[@ellencrimitrent]

Thank you so much!

I agree, Lynda! Love Ellen's art and her tutorials! Got the No. 8 as well! :-)

This is beautiful! As I've mentioned before at 75 I am brand brand super new to wc....any art period (never did it growing up or in HS etc. But I love this style at it's what I aspire to achieve. It's really slow going and with bad hands and arms discouraging at times but like a dog with a bone I'm not giving up. I love and watch all your wonderful teaching tutorials....so helpful to me! Thanks so much for sharing all your time and talent!! A little late to this party but trying get to all😀

[@jodycourt]

Just the tutorial I'm looking for today. I really like it. Thanks for sharing your techniques and tips. Even the simple tips of wiping off your brush on the paper towel helps me.

[@medinschimaia6998]

[@lindaking9222]

[@lyndaranson1728]

Love it! Thank you. Making it look easy but also fun. Like the idea of the large flat brush forcing us to be bold

[@karynwright4137]

This is inspiring and beautiful! Thank you - I can’t wait to try this flat brush play with taking colour in and out.

[@nancydipko3270]

Yay!! You helped to inspire me with this one! I really struggle with “loose”! I got closer today! Many thanks for your teachings and wonderful talent!!

[@harpaint]

I like this very much. So beautiful and fun!! THANKS!

[@avanellehansen4525]

I'm a new viewer, subscriber. I admire your limiting yourself to three primary colors. Also, the mon judgement of each stroke. It's I obvious that you are enjoying the process. Beautiful results.

[@deirdrehalstead6963]

Beautiful! 💕 Love this impressionistic approach, just watching you share your talent is a wonderful distraction from our long U.K. lockdown, I will certainly give these gorgeous flowers a go, thank you for sharing your amazing talent. 🙏🌸🙏

[@LisaYoungmpp]

Absolutely beautiful, Ellen!!

[@sikorafamily4227]

I love watching your videos. You are great at making it sound like even beginners can do it- you’re very encouraging! You have a talent for not only painting, obviously, but you are entertaining and fun to watch. Thank you!! I would love to see a wider shot when you use the water. I can’t seem to get the water-to-paint ratio down and it would help to see you use it. Just a thought. Or a lesson perhaps?

[@dorotheaburt5234]

Really enjoyed watching you! That’s my goal to paint loose! It’s hard for me to do but you tutorial has helped me!

[@joaniegreen2184]

[@dawnabbott3783]

Looks awesome...I am a beginner but I feel that abstract or loose paintings would actually be harder so I shy away from trying this style. What is your thought?

[@natalietarrant6268]

Love Love your watercolor tutorials. I am confused about the Acrylic videos. Who is that making the tutorials?

[@ellencrimitrent]

Me!

[@curlyshadowz]

Hi. What is the paper used in this tutorial. I used a thick paper I guess I did not get the desired result 🤓

[@ellencrimitrent]

all supplies are in description box

[@Amorfati536]

Beatiful...but not so easy on my c*** Strathmore paper. I'll try on cotton next time. I got the cotton bug! ;-)
