Watercolor Sketchbook Ideas - Beach painting

[@cameogirl8741]

I LOVED Mini Mondays! I miss them.

[@ellencrimitrent]

I might reprise it :)

[@RoseKeesing-tw3cm]

Me too😀

[@heidicalder447]

I loved them too!!! My favorites!

[@DottieGreco-g4f]

Me too!

[@sukumac9013]

Bring them back, bring them back. :)

I miss mini monday madness sooo much... and stopped watching as much as I did before - because it stopped 😞 - so happy you get back to the smaller paintings - thank you so much, Ellen!

[@jamesgreer3953]

I tell you I've been watching you for about 3 yrs now. I love and learn from everything you paint. A great journey. I make watercolor cards now and sell them. I'm widowed and painting has helped me in many ways. I feel it's one of God's ways to bless me. Caroline NC

[@ellencrimitrent]

awe thank you so much!

[@keariewashburn4680]

Me too. ❤❤

[@olyndawalker8813]

I make cards and small paints that I mat and sell. Some are your ideas but I make them my own. I change the direction of the sun and shadows, colors when I run out of ideas. I want to get freer and more atmospheric in my applications and I know that means to experiment. There seems to be so little time in a day to do that and make art to sell. I am an oil painter and glass artist. Right now I’m recovering from a back injury and watercolor has been my haven of rest. I love what you teach and your freedom. Olynda Walker .

I started when my husband was going through chemotherapy during covid, and I was home all the time. Ellen's older mini Monday series was so helpful. Small painting(5×7 or less)is less intimidating. The cheerful voice and "you can do this" got me through a rough time. Someday, I want to do the patreon. I appreciate the gift of free lessons that Ellen does. Ellen, you make a difference. Oh, and my husband was cured with 18 months of chemo and radiation!

[@superluckystudio2297]

I miss mini Mondays. They are great for beginners or to get yourself motivated again.😊

[@soreo11]

Same here! I really really miss the mini Mondays... 💔

[@marytesta3003]

Thank you, Ellen. I loved mini Mondays. I went back and did many of your older ones. I find doing small paintings and even soft pastels work best for me as a very amateur art person. I love your scene today.

[@ellencrimitrent]

thank you

[@amandahodgin9316]

I love your Mini Monday Madness videos. I still go back and watch them for ideas when I’m looking for something small to paint.

[@gayane_igityan]

I loved mini Mondays. Smaller paintings are so much fun. Interesting how tye little details make so much difference. Thanks ❤

[@tonidevelin38]

I love the Mini Mondays! If the Sketchbook small exercises take their place, I’m looking forward to more!

[@hanichay1163]

I did several of your mini mondays and gave them as gifts!

[@georgineschildknecht9490]

I loved your mini Mondays videos and learned a great deal . Like you said a small painting is less intimidating. Hope you do more small paintings again. Thanks for all your videos.

[@Abigail-d2p]

Ditto! My favorite videos were the Mini Monday's. They have helped me improve my technique without wasting a lot of paper, as well as letting me paint from start to finish when I don't have a lot of time. Thank you for all those lessons.

[@lafifer]

I love love love your Mini Monday videos! I went through all of your videos and was especially drawn to them as a large empty page is so intimidating to me! Keep giving us these, please! I love your style!

[@liselemieux535]

I LOVED mini mondays...wish you would bring them back...they are my favorites ❤

[@Piwonia67]

Lovely ❤ And I discovered your channel and mini Mondays only recently, and I love them. So if you don't want to continue the Mini Mondays, I respect that, but it's so awesome to see small paintings like this. Maybe another mini series can appear.

[@bellabaker4943]

I loved Mini Mondays!

[@xkini07]

I loved mini Monday madness. I filled sketchbooks with all your paintings. I have them all so I’m happy to see more beach scenes with boats. Thank you Ellen. 😎🎨⚓️

[@janegardner5435]

I love this one❤

[@constanceohara3191]

I thought of mini-Monday’s yesterday and wished there could be more…on any day😂❤

[@Angie-pl3uw]

I love this. It reminds me of our trips to Maine and Cape Cod. I say please reinstate Mini-Mondays!

[@Susan-xs5nx]

I love how you keep reminding me that it’s a sketchbook! I love little paintings! ❤️

[@skullnguns]

Love how u share your thought process as u mix your colours and put brush to paper! So incredibly informative :)

[@ellencrimitrent]

thanks glad to help!

[@manondesrochers5729]

Thoroughly enjoyed. I’ll be spending a lot of time at the beach this year & hope to paint what I see.

[@keariewashburn4680]

Love your videos! I learn so much and have fun! Lately, ive had to take some full on taking care of mother who has come home on Easter. So, i try to grab my moments to get to some painting. ( and rest) I watch and binge on your videos ❤❤❤Thank you Ellen 😊

[@schoolnmomma]

Thank you , Ellen! I truly enjoyed painting with you this morning! And I’m so pleased with how mine turned out! I appreciate you!!

[@kathyphelan2974]

Too bad, loved your mini Mondays

[@ellencrimitrent]

I did too until ppl were not watching :(

[@tennesseeriverpress]

Ellen, I absolutely adore and appreciate you!

[@eirinn54]

I, too, loved your Mini Monday Madness videos and used them for inspiration when I started painting again about 4 years ago. Really missed them and would really be happy if you did some more 😊 . Thank you for your great tutorials, Ellen ❤

[@dreamalamb4259]

VERY nice scetch ❤

[@katemcallister2403]

Ellen, I don’t know if you will see this or not but I truly enjoyed all your mini Monday madness paintings. I learned SO much from doing those, gained so much confidence with the paints and techniques. Thank you SO much from bring the smaller format back in the sketchbook paintings. I hope you do more of them. ❤❤❤

[@ginajackson8482]

You are one of my absolute favorite teacher. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and time❤️

[@katelewis8407]

I am new to painting and have been making my way through your MINI Mondays tutorials. I love them - please record more.

[@diannedidomizio52747]

❤Loved this today ~ hope to try it!

[@bazzinator7477]

I like these small sketchbook videos. Small sketchbooks are great because they don't require any time planning, you can just pull it out when ever the opportunity arises.

[@ChantelleArts]

This is so stunning, I love seeing all that gorgeous texture ☺☺

[@gracewulff4952]

I loved mini Mondays! Appreciate all your tutorials 😊

[@pootlingalong8928]

A very happy little painting, it cheered me up! 🤗

[@R_H21]

Thanks Ellen! I miss mini Mondays, and I’ve been curious about this brand’s 100% cotton sketchbook.

[@MaryLopez-u4w]

I like your mini sketchbook paintings and your Mini Monday as well!

[@lindakuck5981]

Love this! This is beautiful, makes me a little homesick. Thanks Ellen 😊❤

[@artobsessionbybarbara2953]

Thanks Ellen, love your way of painting it's so relaxing listening to you, tap tap 😂 etc. I am always re watching your tutorials love them all s much, I am going to start doing cards so lots of your processes are going to come in handy. Thanks again loved it 🤗🤗😘🦋

[@amandahodgin9316]

This is so fresh and cheerful. Makes me dream about the coming summer.

[@janejones3965]

I love that you are willing to show “mistakes” and your process of working through it.

[@ellencrimitrent]

yes always!! :)

[@kayfletcher3488]

I love mini Mondays!

[@sukumac9013]

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent and skills. And you have such a good instructor voice and humour. 😊

[@teresawheeler2235]

You make it look so easy! I just started a watercolor sketchbook, and I'm really glad I found your KZbin channel.

[@wendywhitley4611]

I use a 5x5 sketchbook from the same brand, and I find as a beginner it's much more doable. I can control the work easier than a huge swath of paper to cover. Very satisfying to be able to make a nice little painting in a short amount of time.

[@lindathaxton1994]

Love the small painting tutorials! Thank you for sharing 🙏

[@patlatour2465]

This is my morning activity will be so fun.❤ thank you.😊

[@karinm8398]

Thank you Ellen I love this! I miss Mini Monday's too ❤

[@teresalitty9357]

[@rosemarypetersen143]

I love it! Saw a sweet little sailboat out my window yesterday

[@joannelucey9540]

I loved mini Mondays too! I hope you begin doing them again or something similar. Thank you.

[@LindaKing-nq6ut]

Nice mini composition ..feels like the coast of Maine

[@klea6133]

Love that one! I enjoy adding details, too!

[@joeibassett9944]

I started watching you because of Mini Mondays. I am traveling later this year and want to do a small sketchbook and postcards. So more of these would be Wonderful!

[@ChristieP-hb6hd]

Thank you Ellen! Great vignette! I really enjoyed painting this one! Thank you for showing how you sketched it out - yup I gotta learn how to sketch my own stuff! I'm getting there - slowly but surely :). Appreciate your channel and work.

[@joannnicol346]

So cute, love the sound effects!

[@debraeudy3493]

Can’t wait to try this one!

[@ellencrimitrent]

Hope you like it!

[@petravandenhout887]

I really love your video’s. ❤I will try to make this one for someone who really loves the sea and boats

[@lynnemorea699]

Love this sketchbook painting

[@debwarren608]

Who says we don’t care for Mini Monday? We shouldn’t take you for granted, but let you know how much we liked them and appreciate you! (For that matter let anyone you. Care about know how you feel and that they are appreciated😊

[@AleksdeArt]

Great tutorial, thank you! 💖💗

[@carolynmiller292]

LOVE IT

[@margaretpinsent6388]

I like small the best. Going to try this one. I love yours, the colours and composition. Thanks for sharing your steps. I'm doing the #100daysproject in a sketchbook, dividing the pages to paint small. The paper is awful but I'm learning...

[@pragativasisht4432]

trying to copy this simple painting is probably doable. my problem is trying to reduce a scene to the basic colours and shapes. daily details can be so overwhelming.

[@patvickery6890]

I love painting small and really enjoyed your Mobsay madness series! I make cards,so small is great for me.this looks good forva fathers daybcard,which I hope to do! When ubsay youngavecan amazon link forbthings you show, i nevervsee the link! Im on my phone.dio u think thats why? Id lovebyo get that small sketchbook you're using here.

[@supermom-nocape9831]

Thanks so much for this. I'm painting it on a bookmark. I love that you share what colors you mix together to get other colors. I'll tag you on Instagram when it's finished. :)

[@ellencrimitrent]

Have fun!
