[@teresamarsh1555]

Ellen, I love your lantern. Also that gold makes it look like some lights in the distance, like a far-away town. I liked this a lot.

[@xVentax]

Lovely card Ellen Thank you for this tutorial x

[@rdpo-portland-metro-region]

Hi ellen, I think the lantern needs a flame!

[@christinezeiler]

I didn’t like the grey circles toward but everything else is beautiful!

[@rdpo-portland-metro-region]

Hi Ellen, do you have a separate brush you use for the metal/shimmer paints?

[@susanatorrella1620]

So nice! I'll try it sure! Thanks a lot! It's so pretty!

[@karenabendshien846]

Love it!

[@nerissa7657]

I think this is a super adorable card idea and I loved your gold orbs! I'm a new subscriber and wanted to say hi and thank you for the great videos.

[@cherylrichards7052]

It’s perfect❤️ Thank you 🙌

[@tanyaladden2789]

Lovely!!! Going to try this for sure. :)

[@joaniegreen2184]

You never disappoint! Lovely♥️

[@janetcurci2251]

This is a nice variation in the bokeh technique that I’ve tried lately. I’m timid to try making fluid, because when I did, I ruined my brush. I don’t know how to get it clean afterward. Can you help me? 😆

[@nerissa7657]

I dont think it'll come out of the brush, sorry. Upside, thats your new masking brush! Might as well use it for more masking. I've used tooth picks in the past for masking fluid.

[@sarahmalm9684]

Just FYI, when you point to the corner of the video and refer to your Patreon, there’s nothing showing there. It was the same in the last video I watched. Just thought I would mention it. I’m new to your videos. I’m enjoying them. Thank you.

[@ellencrimitrent]

It should show up around the minute mark

[@sarahmalm9684]

@@ellencrimitrent yeah, I don’t ever see it.

[@glorialacoma9735]

Ellen, how I can do without masking? I have liquid but I don't know how I may use it. Thanks another time for your explendit woks. Happy day from Spain.

[@momzombiie]

I did it without masking, you just have to be really careful and avoid your pencil lines when you’re doing the background wash :)

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

You could use masking tape for the vertical lines in this painting 😍

[@beyzaatasoy9821]

for those who doesnt want to wait till where the video starts actually: 4.41 she starts painting! i liked the ending result but it shouldnt be that boring so people could focus actually friendly advise! 👌

[@debramitchell5208]

❤🎄❤

[@robynsartandgifts2860]

What do you mean by hard edge?

[@johannelajoie2454]

😍👌❤️👏👏👏.....👋👋

[@63Calypso]

It's gorgeous....but I am missing the bright "Light", in the Lantern...😌
