I'm loving the velvet touch Princeton brushes. Hobby Lobby just had them on clearance for almost 90 percent off. I could only find the smaller brushes but I'm totally satisfied. April - 2023
Dear Ellen - I have great friends in Scotland, so I'm gonna try this for them. I just wanted to tell you how much I love your videos, especially this one. You're so laid-back and funny. . . it's such a pleasure that you stress "just relax and do it!". Love it.
Love this, reminds me of my growing up in Scotland. Spent many days wandering around the hills, in amongst all the flora. There were also lots of wild foxgloves along with the heather. Had lots of fun climbing over the stone walls that were boundaries for the fields, and often went home with scuffed up knees. Thanks for the fun memories!!
Two of my favorites - thistles because we’re Scottish and who doesn’t like bees? I love this. I prefer just the one bee- looks more balanced compositional. So much fun!
I wish you knew how uplifting your tutorials are to me. I started learning to WC paint, as therapy for a chronic condition. You are awesome and I appreciate your instructions immensely. Thank you
Ellen, this is gorgeous. I love thistle and the fatness of the bumblebees makes them look so cute. Thank you for taking the time to try and show us how to do this ourselves. Sometimes I just watch your videos to soothe myself after a hard day even when I don't follow along with my own paints. This was one of those times.
You make me laugh and that loosens everything up! I love your little jokes! Reminds me of my Dad. I am going to try this one for sure! You make it look like so much fun. Thank you for being here!!
I know and I love that it means worker bee. And I am a worker that's for sure. I collect all kinds of 🐝 things.I can't wait to paint your bees and thissel picture.
Just finished this one and it turned out well. I really enjoyed painting this. I was a little concerned that my bees weren’t going to turn out very well but they turned out just fine. I just followed your instructions and voila. Thank you for this fun tutorial.
Love the Patreon. Yes your time is very valuable I can’t believe all you do for such a small contribution. I’m thankful as my budget is tight but I feel like I’m doing something to show appreciation 😊
@@OhJodi69 ha! I’m from South Africa originally. I imagined that I’d see burly men in kilts everywhere when I arrived, sadly not the case. I did see one elderly gentleman displaying a pair of knobby knees tho! Apparently I need to go further north to find the outlander guys! Haha
I absolutely LOVE this one Ellen! Thanks so much! This will be my next watercolor! The bees are so pretty, but those flowers are also gorgeous, and my favorite colors.
Thank thank you, I love the fact that you don’t have any background music, is so distracting! I like the sound effects, the bees look amazing! I’m 55 and I’m a total beginner, you inspire me, will check the Patreon. Blessings to you.
Thanks so much, Ellen! Like so many, I started painting in 2020 for a break from reality and fell in love. My pro artist BFF kept telling me to try watercolors but I was intimidated to leave acrylics. Then I found your tutorials--yay!! You have given me confidence with your great tutorials and I'm really enjoying learning the medium from you. ❤
This is one of my favorite videos. That bee looks so real that he could just fly off the page!!! Love it 🐝 I’m a fan of thistles too and yours look so pretty. You are just amazing! You crack me up! Don’t make him look ridiculous!!! 🤣 Great job Ellen. I needed this today. You are the best! Happy Weekend.
So how talented are you!! You make it look like a walk in the park & it is clearly not! Love your work, your manner & your tutorials. Have just found you & am so glad. Cheers from Western Australia 😊🥰❤️💕😘😍
I love it!! I’ve always wanted to paint a bee and the way you’ve broken it down...I can so do this!! And the thistles...loving the many colors you’ve used. Putting this on my list to paint!! Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic paint❤️
You need to wear your mic on your left side so your clothes won't hit it every time you move your arm. I really love this tutorial, the bee is so cute and you made it look so doable! The finished painting reminds me of summer!
Hi Ellen, I happened across your watercour bees and was so impressed that I have given it a go. Only I'm in Portugal visiting my daughter, so all I had was a painted roof tile and watercour pencils that paint! It has come out remarkably well, even if I say so myself. Thank you for the inspiration 😀
Loved this tutorial! I am a beginner in watercolor and followed easily and I’m so proud of what I did! Adorable bees, please do another bee composition soon! Save the bees!! 💕 🐝 🐝🐝
Omg how cute! I can’t wait to do this one. I do all of yours. Just had a knee replacement Tuesday so it will be a while. Thanks for sharing and I did donate to your channel
Ellen, I have a dear friend who, with her husband, raises bees and I plan to try this for her. But she also loves Blue Willow china and has a wonderful collection. I'd love to be able to do a picture of a Blue Willow teapot for her as she and I both share a love of tea. I hope maybe one day soon you'll do something like that.Thank you for your beautiful renderings. I have thistles all over my fields and never really thought of them as beautiful!
Thousand thanks for your great explanation. I‘m now confident being able painting a bee. As always a great idea! Happy to find here many different kinds of Watercolour painting, always love your cute figures! Greetings from Europe💕. Have a great and healthy year 2021!

omg i had to comment again first i would like to say thank you so much for drawing that where i can actually see a lot of videos out there say that they are going to draw it but then its already drawn so light you need a microscope or and enhancer to see it .that right there was so important to me thank you again so cool and so cute 2 thumbs up and a sub and a new student.
This does look fun!! Thank you!! Just an FYI, I watch on an iPad and there’s no place that says show more but right below where you are painting there is a very small “v” or down arrow which expands to the see more stuff... of coarse it’s not there when you have the full screen mode! Maybe that will help people stop bugging you!! 💕
Love how adorable your bees turned out! Great thistle. I would love to see you do more desert and succulent plants. I just moved to the desert and want to learn to paint desert scenes. I don't see much of that on watercolor tutorials. You are fun to watch!
I loved doing this one too. Thanks Ellen :-) Good if we can see the pallette when you're mixing paints, so we know what colour you're aiming for. I ;learn a lot from your colour mixing. Thanks again :-)
Now I feel bad for saying that. But I wish you many more subs on youtube, in order for you to be able to buy a new one, you are awesome at teaching watercolour. I'll be watching ALL your great tuts!

Thanks for breaking down the bee! I've been intimidated by the bee and I see it's fairly easy to paint...
Glad I could help!

I love your bees🥰🐝🥰🐝🥰🐝
That’s so lovely 😊
I love this!
bees with personality!
Love this one, needed the bee drawing advice though! Thank you. Just about to paint it, so I will hope it turns out ok.🖌
You can do it!
Incredibly cute.
I love the bee design. I embroider these guys on my denim a lot in unexpected places. (Kinda like " Where's Waldo") ? It's fun. :)
That's a great idea!
Thank you, I really enjoyed painting the bees and thistle,totally very 🤩 Fun! Your tutorials are really enjoyable, challenging but fun thx again
Love it
Sooo cute!
Awesome!💜
This was fun ! Thank you. 💗🐝💗💫

Check out this other great floral tutorial ! th-cam.com/video/MSc2aJ3GDjs/w-d-xo.html

This does look fun!! Thank you!!

Love this. Suggestion: sound is picking up something that sounds like plastic withh every move you make. Maybe the mic on clothing?
I know I need a new mic!!! argh
Now I feel bad for saying that. But I wish you many more subs on youtube, in order for you to be able to buy a new one, you are awesome at teaching watercolour. I'll be watching ALL your great tuts!
Adorable❣ I'd taken some photos of a thistle a few months ago so I could paint it 😊
