Watercolor Textured birds in snow/ Christmas Card idea

[@andreapaulis1481]

I am having so much fun playing with this! I am currently doing owls and sand pipers. I have enjoyed your tutorials so much over the past year and want to thank you for sharing and for your easy anybody can do this approach. You really connect with your viewers. I wish you and your family happy holidays and a grand and healthy new year!

[@jamesgreer3953]

Caroline here...I love the fact that you are so willing to share what you've learned. You are my teacher

[@natalietarrant6268]

Your sound is much better. I could hear you! Your gonna get me through this winter. Love ya!

[@elsad5680]

The atmospheric, mysterious and abstract result is so lovely. Love the colors, birds and textured look of snow. Can't wait to try this.

[@jacwindsor5552]

Emma, this is a MASTERPIECE. I really love this beautiful mysterious snowy texture. i am going to have a go at this tomorrow.. It was especially useful as I am getting older I my eyes can't see close up so much and I was struggling to paint, this is perfect for my eyesight and gives me hope that even with poor eyesight I could make amazing paintings

[@sallyannbrown3398]

Cool. Lovely colors. I love the texture and design. So fun! Thank you!

[@lindaking9222]

Always good to try new techniques…the birds are in a snowstorm..cute

[@margaretmitchell7168]

once again, a great lesson. Thank you. you are special.

[@djgamiller]

Thanks Ellen! This painting was so fun to do and thanks for the brush tip. Aqua Elite are my new favorite brushes; so versatile.

[@micheleleblanc9336]

That was a Lot of Fun Ellen! Thank you!!

[@marysuchanek4386]

Thank you for using a dark pencil to start the birds. I can't wait to try this new type of painting. Thank you.

[@DottieGreco-g4f]

I’m a newer subscriber. So working my way through all of your beautiful videos and just came upon this one. Can’t wait to try this technique. Looks like so much fun!

[@adoxartist1258]

The big splotches are good! It lends depth. You know how taking a picture of snow coming down, the closer flakes show up large and bright? That's how I see those bigger splotches. 👍

[@ellencrimitrent]

humm true!

[@annawoods5184]

Love it Ellen, almost like a black & white photo/medium, a bad exposure but turns out great!!! Lets see more!!

[@margotcrabtree3223]

I really like this idea. I'm partway through a painting with snow and blue evergreens that is not turning out quite right, so I think I might wreck it, and add some of your texturizing ideas!

[@paulabrown6840]

I’d love to see you do a snowman with this technique . 🌸

[@patriciacreighton518]

Thank you for sharing this great technique. I think I want to try this with some fir trees!

[@susankolpack7044]

What a different idea for a Christmas card. It will be noticeable among the usual. Thanks.

[@artmilirosecz3483]

IT very nice paiting 👍❤️

[@ellencrimitrent]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Queenread82]

This could be a fun creepy card, maybe a hint of a moon. The spots could be more like fog or starlight than snow.

[@Anita-hf8iz]

Nothing else but wowwwww - love it

[@ellencrimitrent]

thank you!

[@angie0130]

Its just awesome.I am going to try it very soon in the next few days. Can you show some more holiday theme tutorials as that will be great. Everyday i look forward and eagerly wait to seeing something new from you and feel delighted to see something . Thanks Ellen for being such a wonderful teacher and and giving me an opportunity to follow my passion which i had forgotten about.

[@danielleb.7055]

Always awesome! I just recently got a Princeton aqua elite cats tongue and I love it. I'm thinking about getting a round but not sure yet. I use the creative mark - mimic faux squirrel and really like them and their affordable. I wish I just bought them when I began painting but ypu never know if you will like a specific item if you never try. Have a great day

[@LoriF25403]

love it

[@GrandmaMuggy]

So fun. I love it! Looks great!

[@ellencrimitrent]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jacwindsor5552]

Off topic: Can you do some icerink cards So many towns have icerinks and I would love to do paint these

[@djs6487]

This is awesome, Ellen. Notice this is pretty close along the color wheel. Do you think the hazy grey wash would work over a contrasting color image or would the alcohol create mud? I was thinking about a glowing lantern or simple lighted tree.

[@fiddler1252]

What kind of alcohol? Love your birds.

[@pennywheeler2598]

I love your art work. This is amazing.🎨

[@robynsartandgifts2860]

What kind of brush are you using today. I didn’t hear it. Thank-you for all your lessons.

[@diannedidomizio52747]

What did the Alcohol do differently than water? ❤This was great and so creative!!

[@ellencrimitrent]

did you see?? it makes the paint kind of disappear - wild

[@kathyrochowicz554]
