Went to Hobby Lobby today and bought all the supplies I would need to try my hand at watercolors. I've done acrylic painting for years and I was ready to branch out. I came home and excitedly set everything up and sat down to paint. Boy was I discouraged! Watercolor is an ENTIRELY different animal! I ended up crumpling up my first attempt and walking away completely defeated. Not wanting to give up so easily, (or waste the money I'd just spent) I sat down and decided to watch some KZbin tutorials to help me along. I skimmed through about a dozen before I found yours. You make this look approachable and fun. I think I'll try again. Thanks!

[@ellencrimitrent]

Eluna A. Yay!! Enjoy!

[@PatriciaGodboutArt]

Go for it, I was an acrylic painter too and found the w/c difficult, I persevered and love it so much. Ellen is an awesome person to learn from, she is down to earth, very funny and very talented, as well she is a gifted teacher. I wish you all the luck.

[@appleknocker56]

Having same problem! Been doing acrylics & branching out to water colors but harder than ever thought but not giving up as w any new thing (don’t start out playing Mozart on piano) as a beginner!

[@roz1939]

I have been a crafter most of my life but always wanted to paint. I tried acrylics but the medium did not appeal to me. Then I realized all the framed prints on my walls were mostly watercolors. The rest is history. I am 83, a recent widow, and have been painting for about 8 months. I hand painted my Christmas cards last year and have given hand painted notecards as gifts. I paint everyday and I learn something new every time. My days are filled with KZbin tutorials and painting and I could not be more content. Many, many thanks.

[@creatingwithfamily9212]

After watching one of your videos yesterday, I was motivated to give it a try. I used Arches paper, divided them into 12 3x3 squares, folded the paper, and wet it to help tear them to get the natural torn look. I didn’t realize how sturdy this paper is. Anyway, I had a blast painting a dozen mini pictures to add on card stock for Christmas cards. Thanks for inspiring me to have fun painting.

[@patriciawright8019]

Love them both, Ellen. You’re such a good teacher, even without words. Thank you for being so prolific, especially in watercolors.

[@ellencrimitrent]

thank you so much!!

[@robertapizzorno8901]

I love that you just paint with music and no words... too much noise around us, this is a blessing, thank you greetings from Italy

[@paulabrown6840]

Ellen these are so sweet! I love how you help beginners. Just love you! 🥰

[@patois12]

What a lovely site with pleasant music and good tutorials. I'll be back!

[@helencheadle5285]

Hi Ellen, there is a saying that goes “The quickness of the hand deceives the eye”, I don’t know the author, but just watching you paint it seems very apt description of you! My goodness, how fast you paint, and yet like magic beautiful little pictures appear before our eyes… I love how you build the little fit trees up, and the different greens you quickly add in to give deeper, realistic colour. I just sat mesmerised as your brushes flew across the paper, creating “Mini Monday masterpieces!”….I’m “trying” to build up my confidence to try for myself, after all, how hard can it be! And then I watch your work again, and go WOW!! …. Time for just one more coffee, then time for the challenge ! Lol. In all seriousness Thankyou so much Ellen, for racking your brains each weekend to think of a subject to paint for us on the Monday….they have all been really lovely, and would inspire anyone who has never painted before to pick up a brush,and have a go! It’s fun, it doesn’t matter if it isn’t exactly like the ones you have painted, but just have a go people! You don’t know what your missing. Sending love and light Ellen, and grateful thanks again. Helen in Norfolk U.K. 🙋‍♀️😘💐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😻

Thanks! These will make cute Christmas cards! I think I will use a toothbrush with the white paint to make the snowflakes look finer on such a small painting. Love the dark sky.

[@galedar1537]

Very nice! I think I will use a toothbrush with the gouache so the snow in the sky will be a bit finer than on the trees. I love what you did with the sky on both of these! Thanks!

[@nikismdtth]

Thank you for the tutorial! Both look amazing. :)

[@ellencrimitrent]

Nikolett Somodi-Tóth your welcome! 😊

[@irmas-music]

Fantastic, thank you, put me in a good mood 😊

[@designingsequences]

I find it a good way to add splashes by using two artists brushes one for the splashing and the other to tap that brush on the handle. It gives me smaller splash effects. Love your work. 🎨 ✨ 🌟 🦋 🌷 💖

[@ellencrimitrent]

designingsequences thank you 😊

[@sanyogitagiri9797]

Your videos and techniques means alot for beginners like me so thank you for sharing such helpful step by step instructed video for us ❤️😊👍

[@benediktagunther4251]

Total schön geworden. Very very nice. GLG🌞😃

[@tonipeers8165]

Lovely thank you.

[@sweetcurly28]

Pretty. Try covering trees whilst doing the snow ❄️ and apply snow to trees after they’re dry, with the brush. Also toothbrush & thumb works great for small snow effect. 👍🏻😁

[@ellencrimitrent]

yup some ppl use that or brush if you don't have a dirty toothbrush close by you can easily use a brush.

[@Whitepaper_Art]

It's really good ~♡

[@claudeyaz]

Thanks!

[@lindak987]

thank you SO much for these tutorials Ellen!! I have only recently come to learn much about watercolors (mostly in an abstract way through some classes) and finally feel like I'm getting it and truly enjoying this medium. Following you here and on Instagram :)

[@dianedial4262]

Ellen, this was so relaxing to watch with the music in the background. I'm going to try these next painting session. Thank you for doing this. Happy 'soon to be' Thanksgiving time!

I haven’t seen anyone use so much water, but they came out beautifully in the end.

[@ellencrimitrent]

lol

[@AbiNomac]

Ellen Crimi-Trent- Artist ??

[@ellencrimitrent]

@@AbiNomac LOL= Laugh out loud- yes I probably had a ton of water but I do remove its a battle always how much I put down.

[@AbiNomac]

Ellen Crimi-Trent- Artist - I was stressing for you, but you got there in the end. Good to know you can drench your work in water and still come out the end other with a nice piece.

[@lechat8533]

@@AbiNomac You were stressing for her? Many artists use very much water. That`s the beauty of watercolor, the more water you add the less control you have. That`s what watercolor is all about. Every watercolorist has his/her own relationship with the medium "watercolor".
