I am a beginner watercolor fan, with a passion for the medium, and I find your gift and style perfect for me. Ilike the loose abstract Images you produce.
Thank you, Ellen, these are great! I’m glad to hear someone else that says “poin-set-ta” in stead of ‘“poin-set-ti-ah”! When I grew up we said it like you, then the last 10 years or so they started saying it the other way. It may be right, but I still like it the other way😁
It’s not even Christmas, and I am not nearly done with summer. But I happened across this TH-cam video and I just had to comment. What a talent you are …. you take nothing and make it something wonderful! I love these cards and you just might’ve put me in the Christmas spirit even though it’s 90° here in North Carolina, thank you Ellen for all of your contributions to the art world and for the amateur artists that enjoy you so much.
I am a total beginner and yet I managed to make the tree and it was a HUGE jawdropping hit. You saved my Christmas!!! 🙂 I wish you happy holidays and a great new year!
Gee you do make it look so easy. So easy I think I’ll give it a try. Somehow I don’t think mine will turn out so nice. I see lots of stroke practice on scratch paper in my future. Thank you so much for showing us these beautiful cards.
It's so much fun all the clever little things that you come up with. I always paint some sort of Christmas cards, but this year, my brother died 17 days ago, and it's been hard thinking of something that even though it would have been normal, wasn't overwhelming. I didn't want to bring everyone else down too. This is the perfect thing. Thank you so much!!!
Ellen, I really LOVE these beautiul cards. Simple, elegance. I can't believe you painted them on construction paper. I will try these for sure. Thanks so much.
Hi Ellen. Love your channel. Wonderful ideas and beautiful. Just started painting this past year and I'm totally addicted. Can't wait to see what else I can learn from you!!!
These are gorgeous.. I didn’t know you could use paint brushes with ink…that’s made me so happy lol…I have quite a few.. I love that tree…it does look so elegant… Also I love my metallic paints,never thought of making just simple cards like these…thanks for sharing your gift..❤
I just ordered metallic watercolor paints yesterday after watching one of your older tutorials! So excited that you uploaded this today...can't wait for my paints to arrive!
Wow! Thank you for this easy tutorial. I did the wreath with gold foil and it came out great. I have some gold acrylic ink that I used to addressed my envelopes and it never occurred to me to use it as a paint. Thanks again. I am definitely going to subscribe . Happy Holidays
Love all of these Ellen, but that tree is magnificent! Can’t wait to give that one a try. And thanks for sharing the mask and splatter technique for a tree. You always leave my head spinning with ideas and as always I love your work. Blessings to you!
What a wonderful video! Thank you, Ellen. I ordered all kinds of paints, LOL, and black paper and white and have been having a blast. This is a REALLY good way to learn my brushes as well - I don't usually work this fine, and so I have to relearn the nuances of the wee little brushes.
I normally use Christmas to go full on glitter sparkle crazy, but for some reason this year I am craving simple elegance, so this is perfect! And I get to get my Fin Tec watercolors out…whoop whoop!😊
Have the supplies and ready to paint 🎨!!!Thank you 😊 for making this a fun beginner friendly video! Love your Christmas themes!!! A California Gramma ♥️
❤what a simple, exciting and perfect activity for this 85 yo beginning watercolor devote. Thank you Ellen
You are my best entertainment… I can’t do what you do, but I feel like watching you
