This really helped me understand the looseness of flowers that you can give the impression and not I’m everything so tight. Thank you so much.

[@frankwillet1609]

Great instructions, thanks. I’m just starting out on my watercolour journey and learning quite a lot. I do enjoy your KZbin site. Looking forward for more, thanks again…🇬🇧

[@janedoe-vn4fs]

I have always wanted to paint. I even have an art room full of art supplies but I stop myself because I am so critical of myself. I almost didn't do this painting today but I did it anyway and I just loved it!! You are so laid back and the atmosphere is "everything is okay and don't sweat it." Thank you so much.

[@reginamackay8122]

I had so much fun making these wildflowers paintings. I made 6 of them today! I just could not stop. Thank you for your wonderful tutorial.

[@ericaroberts5829]

You're the first artists tutorials I've watched and grasped it and learned from. Thank you!

[@enorramic2012]

Thank you for your wildflower video. It was fun to create the flowers and add the details.

[@elaineblaine5292]

Love how easy you make it sound! Makes me feel I can do it too, even at 85!!!😍

[@woodywood1951]

Video full of life and spring. Thank you

[@gloriamoline678]

Excited to see you at noon Eastern time. Lunch, after big walk in 10°, & art! The color you picked exactly right.

[@fivetunnells]

I suffer badly from anxiety and depression. I am a beginner in watercolor paintings. I did this one today! So fun.

[@ellencrimitrent]

yay!

[@purfleac]

I really appreciate being able to listen to your commentary as you paint. Thanks!

[@jyotimouje177]

Lovely painting 🎨🎨🤩🤩

[@valeriesymons934]

A very good tutorial. Very useful for painters who need some inspiration.

[@pmshara]

I love your tutorials!

[@ginahats8736]

You are wonderful! Fun, funny, dryly cheerful, and a fantastic teacher. You talk about all options-smaller brushes, less expensive paint, different colors , etc. Everyone feels welcome no matter and that’s encouraging. You add joy to many a day in these tough times. 💫 The story you told recently about asking someone if they had teenagers when they criticized the electronic games made me laugh out loud. You’re practical and real. In short, you’re a gem! ❣️❣️❣️

[@NEMES1-S]

Astounding how even the finishing black to the poppy’s totally brings the whole thing to life. Thanks for an easy tutorial to follow….. Hopefully………😳

[@zahrazulfiqar6784]

I like so much the way you paint ❤️

[@ellenvanputten8106]

Thank u for this tutorial, i am going to practice this!😊

[@frederikpenguin]

This is one of the videos I put on to just see someone paint. But a few minutes in I couldnt help myself grabbing my brushes and painting along. It's so easy and so much fun!

[@ssadvweld1]

FWIW - I would LOVE to see more videos like this but even looser if possible. I love to discover flowers in blobs of paint but I struggle with the next step(s): finishing touches, details, adding values, etc. to end up with something aesthetically pleasing. I have hundreds of first layer paintings because I have no idea how to finish them. I have no artistic background or an ability to imagine something and then create it. I am very visual and have to see every detail but then I get bogged down in detail. I hope that makes sense and it's something you'd be interested in doing as well. Thank you. Take care.

[@kaypinard]

So pretty and fun! Thanks Ellen!

[@josienovack2984]

I look forward to your videos every day. I am going to give this one a try.

[@pamketron]

So pretty! Love the wild and whimsical look of this one.

[@cathygraetz7229]

This was my first-ever watercolour painting three years ago. All I had at the time was Cotmans, an oil paintbrush and sketch paper, but I followed your tutorial and voila! I produced a passable picture! So pleased I’ve been painting ever since - with better supplies over time😀 - so thanks so much for making thevformidable approachable, Ellen!

[@ellencrimitrent]

Susan Hess awe thanks 😊

[@patricagj1]

Thank you so much for this. I have not successfully ever made a drawing or a painting. I started an explore your creativity class and next week we are paper weaving. The teacher suggested doing a water color to cut up for the weave. So I thought, what can I loose, I have to cut it up. I found you, and for the first time ever did this watercolor. SO FUN! and no, can't possibly cut it up now. Your instruction was fantastic.

[@kimohara7868]

This is beautiful! Exactly why I love watercolour - what I call the “dreamy feel” in a painting. So happy I’ve found your channel. 🙂

[@Amejiar83]

You add beauty to the world Ellen!! Thanks for sharing your art :D

[@thelasonj]

Yes! It brightened my day. I watched on my TV and enjoyed the instruction so much. I will watch again and paint along. You made me think I can do it! Be well. Thanks for sharing. 😊
