Like the abstract. Think the gold makes it.

[@Dedaskitchen]

Perfect for my beginner watercolor classes at the retirement centers!

[@jeanwillis7774]

Totally love the abstract one,although the straight forward is more linear and clean…Thankyou for your inspiration and beautiful work ♥️🇨🇦

[@beaulieuonnp593]

I like loose abstact/impressionist, feels for relaxing and artsy

[@noellelebaron]

Love the abstract with doodles!

[@milliemcilvaine3031]

I like both but I also like abstract to paint.. Fun and loose..

[@maryrakas4901]

Both are beautiful, but I think I like the abstract one better. I'm getting out the paints. Thank you for sharing

[@lindadewolf7645]

Thanks Ellen.....love both!

[@janicescott2478]

Great, .love the more abstract one the best!..thanks for sharing!

[@proudamerican8]

Actually, I like both. I used to try my hand at watercolor years ago and I just started again about a month ago and I’m having some great results but I am far from ever mastering watercolor. I’ve come to the conclusion that watercolor tries to master you, the artist. In fact, I have some watercolors in an art exhibit which opened last night, and I am very proud of my designs. I’ve been told by other artists there, that they like my work very much so that makes me feel amazing that I can share what comes out of me with others in art form.

[@cathywho122]

Thanks for your you tube videos!!!

[@debramitchell5208]

Love these doodles!

[@cheryl7476]

Thanks, Ellen.

[@sherrysvesnik7711]

I am going to make these!!!

[@ellencrimitrent]

yay!

[@judithgillam5074]

Luv , luv , luv the abstract ! Thank you Ellen ! Kind regards - Judi - Ausstralia

[@Valerieknitterhands]

❤ one of my favorites

[@maxineburke6567]

That was so intriguing and fun to watch. Thanks for all your variety. Love both versions.

[@robinchurchill367]

Thanks!

[@odeadelmar5636]

Bravo de France 🇫🇷 . Toutes des deux sont inspirantes, merci pour cette vidéo 🌺😘🥰😍

[@lindatabler9687]

Both work for me!

[@ellencrimitrent]

Great!

[@badsworthcats]

I like both depending on my mood.. both are perfect for different people.

[@ellencrimitrent]

so true!

[@leneprior9392]

You are so fun!

[@annewatman677]

One thing I didn’t want to do was buy black watercolor paper just so I could use my gold watercolors. Painting in a dark background is perfect! Nice tutorial, too.

[@linzileong]

Beautiful!!

[@supermom-nocape9831]

Thank you! This was such fun to paint.

[@egebaranerisik487]

Oh it'is autumn😍

[@ellencrimitrent]

yup feels like it here!

[@christineverploeg182]

I'm gonna vote for the abstract. Beautiful.

[@ellencrimitrent]

yay!

[@tuthillg]

Pretty, fun, and whimsical! TFS the inspiration!

[@conniemesce4093]

Great idea! ❤

[@carav4500]

Yes, please. More doodles! Someone suggested doodle cards for all the seasons. Love that idea

[@jaedo71]

I’ve been making alcohol ink greeting cards but I am really itching to get into the WC!!! And I’m a texture freak! I will be splattering and crosshatching like crazy 😂

[@wendyleblanc5147]

Couldn't wait to try these cards and am delighted with the results! Dare I say it? ... I'm thinking red, green and gold tones with holly shapes, evergreen branches, and pinecones for Christmas cards!

[@karyngarland9414]

Abstract… love the colours🍁

[@ellencrimitrent]

thank you!

[@christineingram55]

Funny at first I preferred the simpler version but now I absolutely love the more abstract one ,it’s stunning 🥰

[@ellencrimitrent]

Yay! Thank you!

[@daanschip8709]

I think to do both styles is great

[@pamgrover9910]

More doodles please❤️

[@mmhanson1]

You made me think! I'm older, and just now realize how "right vs wrong" I was raised with. Always getting scowls of disapproval from adults. I'm tempted to try this for myself!

[@elizabethunruh4377]

Enjoyed this tutorial Ellen! Thanks! My vote is the abstract also👍👍

[@59cris]

Love this!!!

[@cherylthomas2459]

These are really fun. Thank you

[@ellencrimitrent]

Glad you think so!

[@DianneChambers1]

I love this tooooo!

[@lucyc]

Love both these looks and ideas....thanks!!!

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Abstract is my bag! Thank you for this interesting vid… cool cards created! 🥰👍🏾🙏🏾

[@janhamilton5878]

Fun! I like these, especially the abstract!

[@marielouisedavidson4834]

Super fun to do and so interesting to compare the two paintings. Many thanks!

[@dorotheaherron5071]

Hmmm...I love them both, but I'm leaning toward the abstract card, beautiful painting. I think I will try one of each..Thank you for this tutorial, good stuff. 😊

[@lyndamitton4496]

Love the doodling abstract…just what I’m looking for…thanks!

[@ritaobrien9093]

Love these, Ellen! I could get lost in that gold - I always go overboard with it! LOL

[@CassandraWood0177]

Both!

[@jillhumphreys632]

I love this concept!!!!

[@ellencrimitrent]

thank you!

[@Joan4me]

Love ❤️

[@roxannerosecrans4441]

Ellen I really love 💞 this one! And I vote for both styles 😉

[@shirleylittle3485]

Thank you Ellen, very pretty, will have a go. I love the abstract.

[@rhondaflanders9]

I love the abstract. Could you make doodles for other season? I think that would make a cool set.

[@elenanoname40]

Добрый день! С удовольствием рисую вместе с Вами! Спасибо! Надеюсь , что и дальше буду рисовать с Вами! С уважением, Елена

[@sherrysvesnik7711]

So fun!!!

[@ellencrimitrent]

[@nancybradley2717]

I love this, especially the abstract

[@lindakuck5981]

I love these how fun what and inspiration! Thank you!

[@ellencrimitrent]

Glad you like them!

[@debbieasselstine2469]

Love the abstract one. I'm going to try it. Thank-you.

[@paulabrown6840]

Thank you Ellen! I’m doing this today! You’re so inspiring! 🤗👏🏼

[@ellencrimitrent]

Have fun!

[@paulabrown6840]

🌸🙏

[@kaceeboxers3580]

Great video! My eye is drawn to the abstract leaves, however, would be happy to create either. Also like the rough edges of the paper - further adds to the organic feel. Thanks for sharing.

[@bettystychno5723]

You come up with the best ideas. Can’t wait to try these!

[@maryannknox7158]

Love them both !

[@lyndakowalke8858]

Both of these are fantastic, but the abstract is absolutly gorgeous, my favourite! 💕

[@DianesPaperArt]

Beautiful. I like both styles. Gotta try these. Thanks for a fun paint.

[@ellencrimitrent]

You are so welcome!

[@patlatour2465]

Woohoo cool love autumn these are going to be so fun. Thank you so much.

[@ellencrimitrent]

You are so welcome!

[@maryannknox7158]

Love the Fall colors 🍂🍁🍂

[@andreamack102]

Beautiful! Thanks for the demonstration!

[@louisesommerfeld54]

A wonderful choice on your part! I will definitely go for the abstract as it is so exciting to see the richer and more complex combos. A whole series could be created from this one. Very very exciting! Thanks for your longstanding search for inspiring things for students to do!

[@cherylrichards7052]

Loves these, going to have some fun with this😍

[@michelewalcek4028]

I love these. Can you tell me what brand of watercolor you used for the gold? it is not clear to me on the supply list.

[@themetaphysicalhouseandgar5869]

Both paintings are gorgeous! So inspiring!

[@t2terri]

Vote for the abstract!!

[@Jeannette.akaJnett]

You had me at the circles/dots. Love the cards. Great idea!

[@lauracarter3408]

This is a really cool design! I like it a lot! Thank you!

[@joycesnodgrass7068]

Abstract👍

[@DeeDeeDIY]

Abstract!

[@ellencrimitrent]

yes!

[@elsiewaterous8806]

These are both beautiful!! Definitely going to make some soon. What other designs beside leaves? Pumpkins? ACORNS?

[@ellencrimitrent]

Both!

[@andreaharley4047]

It has to be the abstract🙂👍

[@reneecp1905]

I just love your tutorials. Simple yet effective techniques with stunning results! I’m curious about your choice of Holbein paints. Is there a reason for their your preference using this brand? As you often mix your colors, do you find the paints mix well given many of the Holbein colors are multi-pigmented?

[@SF-ru3lp]

These would make fabulous greeting cards! Have just discoveted your channel Ellen. Thank you very much. Have subscribed. G Ire

[@pennywheeler2598]

I actually adore both but I tend to lean a bit to the abstract.🎨

[@ellencrimitrent]

love the abstract!

[@lindaking9222]

Both are great…the abstract has more personality, perhaps..expressive

[@ellencrimitrent]

yes!

[@juliestricker1384]

I love this! Can you please tell me the name of the gold paint you used? I don’t see it in the list. Thank you so much 😊

[@ellencrimitrent]
