At 85 I found my passion for exploring and learning as much as I can about all the nuances I have missed about the are of watercolour. I especially gravitate toward your style and abstract in general. I am slow but have a passion for this new journey I am on. Thank you for sharing your gifts.
How wonderful! I am 81 and have recently gotten back into my watercolor adventures. Totally obsessed with it! I want to pass into my final resting place with a paint brush in my hand!
I am so happy both of you ladies in your 80’s commented. I am 72 and I thought there was no hope in me starting this at “my age”. You both have given me a new enthusiasm ❤
I started at 79 and have become obsessed with watercolor. I wake up every morning ready to paint! Merry Christmas to all of you!! I think since I began in Feb. of 2022 I have logged about 700 hrs of painting.
Thanks to your gift and tutelage I am beginning to recognise just what tools are necessary for me to progress on my learning experience. It allows me to experience the change, and the difference in my everyday dabbling. Thanks.
Thanks , I would have never thought to do that to make the colors fade like you did but do it all the time to get rid of something. I am sorry I don’t have the $ to pay for lessons but if I did I would definitely get you. I will watch for you again!🙏🏻👩🎨💚🌻
I know you did this a year go but HOLY MOLY I love this. I’m brand new to watercolor. You have an incredible teaching ability. I’m super visual and your instruction timing is amazing. Thank You.
Ellen, I come back to your channel whenever I'm tired of too much control. You know how to relax your students. The cards are delightful and making them will be a pleasure - in spirit with the festive season. Thank you.
I thought I was too old (66) to start water coloring. But it’s the best knowledgeable item to make me happy and satisfied. Even selling my cards as fast as I can paint them. Not much. But just enough said baby bear!
I am a newbie and your tutorials are my very favourite!! I love, love, love these! You paint in such a light hearted manner (even when you are tired of painting 😉) You always make me feel that I can do it. Thank you!❤
Love love your quick and easy technique can’t wait to start. I just found you and am not letting go. I’m going to start making cards as soon as those supplies come. Yipee another art technique to my already growing repertoire. LOL
I did it!!! So cool! You make this soooo much fun!!! Love you Ellen!! Your the best! I have so much fun with you!! My girlfriend and i follow you together and paint with you, so much fun!!! Thanks so much!!! Hope you have a great Holiday!
thank you for this beautiful video, I'm 60 and have practically always painted self-taught. painting helps me feel better and distance myself from everything. Your works are beautiful and the comments are beautiful.
I had to tell you, Ellen, that I've been using paper tape (that is used on tender skin, found with the bandaids & stuff) to use as "masking fluid." I've been using it to make birch trees, moons, whatever, so I don't have to paint around things. It stays down well and it lifts off beautifully with no tearing. Love this stuff!

I'm just a kid here at 55yrs old 😂
My mother discouraged me from doing watercolor but now the floodgates are open! ❤
