I'm an 88 year old non artist because of no training in early years but love trying your things and your casual attitude. Wish I could do it! Don't have enough years to learn. Like your Christmas ideas.

Another adorable mini Monday to attempt. I love ink and wash as I get to practice my drawing skills and the painting can be so expressive. I don’t feel like it’s just a paint by numbers little 'ole thing. I think it’s great!

[@danagast4827]

Ellen I love mini monday madness.I don't know if you realize while painting the Christmas robins you said doing the ink was like painting by numbers. Easy. Many of your older mini's did not have ink. I want to learn to paint without numbers. Please! TY

[@SketchandPaintwithFARYAL]

You are my teacher ❤️

[@ellencrimitrent]

thank you!

[@sabinecuppers]

[@m-ekadala4287]

This is very cute, but this isn't a robin; it might be a nuthatch. Still wicked adorable, and I'll try to explore your technique to approximate my backyard feathered friends.

[@m-ekadala4287]

I take that back! not an American robin, rather an English robin; an English friend shared a photo with her backyard robin this morning!

[@lindagale4384]

Love your videos 😍 they have given me confidence to try painting as I'm new to water colour painting 🌸.have you any books with your tutorial work in that I can buy ? Thank you from UK

[@beaulieuonnp593]

Off topic: idea: Can you do a video on how to use tiny detalled brushes thanks, maybe something for Mini Monday Madness

[@ThuyTran-en9su]

Thank you for your inspiration. I'm very new to watercolour and art in general so your tutorials make it so easy for me to follow. I do wanna join your Patreon, however, I'm unsure of what is traceable. Could you please let me know. Thank you!

[@groovyyaya737]

I’d love painting a horse, can you teach us that

[@ellencrimitrent]

maybe down the line :)

[@lisarogers555]

I just love your channel. I'm so glad I found you. I have what some may call an "ethical" question about selling watercolor paintings on cellulose watercolor papers. As a beginner I can't afford 100% cotton paper right now, because I've invested in some Daniel Smith watercolors. I would love to sell some of my artwork. What is your opinion on selling artwork that is on papers like Strathmore, Canson, and other cellulose watercolor papers r 50/50 blends like Paul Rubens paper? Any advice and suggestion are greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@ellencrimitrent]

U can totally sell on other paper just disclosed it ☺️
