Sometimes when I see a tutorial or several tutorials but too busy to watch at the time, I quickly save it into a designated folder to look at later and this tutorial was saved in a folder that I have created for your tutorials. So that is what I did and today I saw this tutorial. I've saved other tutorials on lilacs in other folder designated folders. This tutorial is THE best tutorials I have ever seen. I have a lilac bush and clip the lilacs and put them in a jar and they are picture perfect just like your tutorial! Lilac bushes should be proud! This is so lovely! Simply lovely and I can't wait to get started. Thank you for a wonderful tutorial.

[@consueloyoung4484]

You make my day Ellen, any day. I find myself mesmerized by your voice, your explanations, which are so welcomed, you talk to us at each step so that your actions are re enforced. Simply, I love your tutorials, can’t wait for your next one.❤🎉

[@olyndawalker8813]

Love your lilacs and hygrangeas

[@deederrs]

I love how you explain each step instead of us just watching and not knowing exactly what or why we are doing something. It makes it so much easier to understand and apply the concept. I love your videos so much and they make me feel more confident in my abilities to paint !

[@olyndawalker8813]

Lilacs and hydrangeas are some of my favorites. I hope to paint both of these tomorrow if my back pain is is not present.

[@nancytestani1470]

Beautiful…

[@madonnamolinari9769]

Just fabulous

[@sweethomes674]

Beautiful 🎨🕊

[@LearningtoDraw]

I didn't know how to draw well, but now I'm drawing very well because of you, you are my inspiration.

[@ellencrimitrent]

thx!

[@kathihirstein1893]

My favorite flowers. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial on how to paint them so pretty.

[@MarilynParker5865]

Love your style...the way you demonstrate and teach....LOVE it....I can actually do some things that resemble what you do. I painted the little snowman for Christmas cards...that snowman made of 'shapes'.....he was cute, really. I watch your videos over and over,,,and feel I get looser and relax and forgive my boo-boos or cover them up. Thanks Ellen

[@janc734]

Gorgeous! I'll be trying this one- I just picked lilacs today for the house🙂

[@patriciahorelick6450]

Really beautiful! Memories from my young childhood...catching fireflies by the lilacs at dusk...

[@ellencrimitrent]

[@sararam9857]

[@deniseandrikowich1614]

I appreciate your relaxed styled. Thanks for sharing! Love it.

[@Linda-kh6rl]

Every thing you do is outstanding Ellen you make my day.i have painted for 55 years ❤

[@carolblaquiere3864]

I love your tutorials. Years ago I tried water colors and got very frustrated for lack of instruction, but now, years later I'd like to try again. I also like the timbre of your voice. It's very soothing in contrast to most women's high pitch. Thank you for teaching us so well.

[@carolesuchockiquennessen5678]

Ellen, I’ve been practicing with your tutorials since I received watercolor supplies for my birthday last year. I really enjoy your style. But then recently, I took my daughter to her pediatrician appointment and was looking at the animal ABCs on the wall that I’ve seen a million times but now just noticed - It was signed by you!! Small world. Thanks for making it colorful and bright!

[@florencekomisar5628]

Love the way you show and explain the colors as your painting. Thank you 😊

[@GuReumArtStudio]

Beautiful! The vase looks really amazing too with the blue shades. I like your techniques. Thank you for sharing! 😊💖

[@miniaturized]

I love the details and the colours! Also the way you made the glass vase look is so cool.

[@ellencrimitrent]

Glad you like it!

[@judigibbs]

Thank you so much. This art therapy just works wonders for me. I had been waiting to try out these lilacs and tonight my significant 'other' really got under my skin. I closed the door and got painting. Ahhhhhh. It was just great disappearing into my little art world. I am happy with my creation. Will do another one just because it was such fun. And you, Ellen, may very well have saved a life tonight! LOL. Keep on with your wonderful teaching and your way that makes us go easy on ourselves.

[@ellencrimitrent]

lol glad I could help!!

[@kathiebumpers1767]
