Thank you!!! I watched another artists video on making roses. I ended up making a basic hummingbird shape lol then I searched how to paint hummingbirds and found your video! Thank you for teaching this 4 week old newbie how to paint my late mother's favorite bird ❤
I've painted for fun for most of my life, and it never ceases to amaze me how you often come across someone like Ellen who teaches you something nice and simple and adds to your enjoyment.. thank you Ellen 😊
Hummingbirds are the sweetest birds. I saved a fledgling that fell in my front yard. Then let him go and he's still eating from my feeders a year later. They're so delicate.
I have forgotten how to paint, draw, using different mediums . This is such a refreshing visit to my first wishlist painting ! I could horses in detail d musculature.but now everything sit s in my art bags all zipped up.. I think I'll grab some scratch pad sketchbook and while I'm being inspired come join you very soon ❤. Your voice and flub up giggles remind me tok laugh at myself which sure brings gorgeous colors to the tip of your brush .Look what we're missing 🎨🖌️. Thank you 🕯️
You are so relaxed , we can't go wrong right ? You have so much confidence in your audience . You make it sound easy . First of all we need to RELAX ❤ This our first . I have no idea what kind of paper, paint medium you mention . I just got the paper for water color mediums ( very cheap ) . We all have squirt bottles ! Thank you ! I'll try 🥴.
I am new to watercolor painting, as in i opened the brushes up right before i gave this tutorial a whirl...it took me a lot longer than the video, as I would pause, rewind and replay as i learned. I am thrilled at how my first painting turned out, and i appreciate your easy to follow style and flow! Looking forward to watching and learning more! THANK YOU!!
Ellen, I can't believe how pretty this is! I really appreciate how you show us how to draw it. That is always a challenge for me. These two little hummers are painted beautifully. Thank you for sharing.
I did it! I painted a hummingbird and it even looks like a hummingbird! Thank you for this help and it has given me the confidence that I lost years ago. I love yours and they look much better than my little one but I got it done! Thank you so much for your video and your help!
I pained along with this tutorial. I very much enjoyed the process but my painting looks nothing like yours! LOL But I had fun and I will try again. Thanks!
I’m only watching this for the first time a year after you first posted this and it’s exactly what I needed to see to get me painting again after a few weeks of doing none!
I love your confidence Ellen. The way you get in there and not worry and everything comes out perfect. I can ne er paint as nice as you. Yourr good. Thanks for teaching us.
Love this. I am trying to doodle while on my lunch. I attempted this. My bird is a little on the thin side. Lol, I painted it with the vivivia color sheets, so my colors are bold . Still, it's a fun practice . Thanks for the idea and tutorial.
Beautiful-I love hummers! Can’t wait for their spring return! Thanks for choosing them for today! You break it down so they look “do-able”! A work in progress!
Oh my goodness, you make me want to start painting in watercolor! I stumbled across your episodes and now am addicted watching you paint. I adore your methodology of "having fun"!
WOW Ellen! Thank you so much for this wonderful and inspiring lesson! You are a wonderful artist and yes it was FUUUUN! Haha! I have subscribed AND liked it! - I only liked it because they don't have a LOVE button! ~
Absolutely LOVE your tutorials. I love the way you laugh at yourself etc. etc. You are so energetic and I love it. I love to try all your beginner stuff. Sometimes I am ok with them, not always but hey I keep trying... Thank you.
