You are a magician with those brushes. They obey you.
You are the best instructor that I have seen on youtube for water color. You genuinely want others to get it.
Thank you very much,I learn so much with your instructions,thanks.
You are simply awesome! I love your voice, your instructions and the way your love of the craft comes through. I also love your generosity in giving away so much for free on youtube.
It would be a dream come true to be able to come to a retreat of yours. But you will most likely never get close enough for that to happen for me.
You are my favorite. You inspire me and you do magic with your many skills! A big fan!
Boy! Did I need this! I came back to watercolor painting out of love for loose florals. But I’ve been noticing that my flowers are very abstract, and I’m usually not happy with my leaves! Your florals look like flowers, even when you do a loose technique! And here came your tutorial!
The wonderful thing about a practice tute like this, it gives one a break from the pressure of creating a great painting!! It’s just Fun that you learn from. I’m happy with a practice flower I did, using your simple techniques. Thx ever so much Ellen. 🌻
I just found your vids and I'm so glad I did! thank you for being here.
I love how real your lessons are not every stroke is perfect and how relax it feels thanks for sharing your skills with us 😊
Thank you Ellen love watching you. The last time I posted, I wasn't in a good place, with my painting, every piece of work was hitting the bin, in frustration! However, I seem to have moved on, and without taking too much notice, and relaxing more, I'm now producing some decent work.
Just found this and want to thank you… I have watched many videos of brush drills and not been able to catch on….but tonight I had my Ah Hah moment and it clicked. I can paint leaves!!
Very helpful. Thank you for the tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
My goodness Ellen, you certainly packed in a lot of information for a jet lagged artist. It took me two days to recover from jet lag on my recent vacation from Florida to Colorado. Then I came back to a Hurricane, yikes. We were blessed on our beach. Tampa Bay Area dodged another bullet. Thank you for all the great tips today. Great refresher for a burned out artist who did too much painting before traveling. Had to give away bookmarks though, didn’t I 😂. Blessings to you and everyone!
I will practice. I love leaves and flowers. I need to improve my muscle memory.
Helen this is such great therapy, soothing watching u create magic…I could watch you forever…except I have to work 😅
Ellen, showing the specific movement and pressure for the brush stroke is extremely helpful. Also the comparison of the two types of paper, side by side, is invaluable information for a beginner like me. I have been practicing on cheap WC paper and now, thanks to you, I know how to approach that pad of Arches I have been hanging on to. After watching your videos for the past 9 months, I think I am ready to tackle it!
This ❤️ has been my go to when I haven't done any painting in awhile.... I love leaves... relaxing... loved seeing your expertise in sharing about paint, brushes and paper... I have to use my Arches... I have enough to last me a year painting daily... finding deals is a favorite thing... starting my granddaughters also! Thank 😊 you Ellen!!! From a grateful beginner, a California Gramma ❤️
Love the tutorial can’t wait to practice the strokes and paint flower. Thank you for showing how to hold brushes it is really helpful to a beginner like me
Agree. Really helpful for loose paintings. I definitely don't want to have to draw 300 leaves!!
Thank you, Ellen! Brush control and water control have been the hardest things for me to learn. This is exactly what I needed to see today!
This was a great tutorial. I will come back to it again while practicing. Thank you.
Thank you very much I did a painting it came up very good
This was a terrific tutorial! Loved the detailed instruction & demonstration. It truly helps showing such in-depth wrist movements and hand placement. Thank you soooo much! Hope your jet lag gets better soon. ❤
Thank you, Ellen, for this perfect tutorial video.
This is so helpful for us as beginners needing guidance and confidence building ….sizes of brushes….how and when / where we can use them, etc., etc…….explaining your thoughts on the different papers….techniques…holding the brush and wrist movement, etc., etc. 🥳🤗🤗🥳
Oh thank you so much Ellen! This really helped me understand my brushes and the paper at a new level. I'm using my cat's tongue brush and hot press paper more often.
Very helpful thank you so much.
Thank you for showing how to hold the brushes, what brushes can do, and so much more! Appreciate you so much!! Love your teaching style!! I can actually follow you and come out with something decent!!
You are so welcome!
Great info….so very helpful! Practicing leaves and petals with different brushes is definitely something I’ll be doing. Thanks for the info on water and holding the brush too!
Thank you! I struggle with leaves and this was so helpful!!!! Practice makes perfect!
I so love that! Thank you so much. Xxx
Thank you 🙏
Thankyou for taking the time to review the basic strokes !
Thank you 🎨
Thanks, Ellen!
Bravo!!! Ellen this is a superb video.
I'm going to do it over again. I learned a few things. I appreciate you so much. Thank you for all the effort it takes to bring us excellent videos....they are so helpful.💕💕💕
You’re the best! 🥰
In this tutorial I learned what I am doing wrong with my strokes. So useful.
I love this video…
Thank you so much. Very good tips. And as you say: practice, practice....
You’re amazing, Ellen. You have helped me so much!!!
Bless you for showing me those brush stroked. My right wrist is surgically straightened, so struggle a bit. Any tips, please❤️🦋
Thanks for your very good practice och turorial👌🙏👍
Thank you Ellen That was really helpful especially how to hold the paint brushes, it's something I find I'm not doing at all times so off to practice now xx
Thank you Ellen, this was a great tutorial! You are e great teacher!
Practice and practice more! Loved this tutorial because I need to be reminded to practice more! You make it creative and you make learning fun! Sounds like the trip was fun, and everyone learned lots! Happy Spring, your student Karen Dirmish 29:53
Well done. Thank you. Practice, practice, practice that is the operative word. Thanks again.
Thank you very much, Ellen.
Excellent info for practicing strokes
Thank you. I really need to practice more. Love your videos.
This is all so helpful, many thanks Ellen.
Disfruto muchísimo tus tutoriales, muchas felicidades. Me alegra haberte encontrado❤
Loved this instructional video. Wish you would do more. Would love instruction on hard edges, amount of water etc?
Wow! i wanna do this painting❤️
Good luck 😊
you can I show you how!
A wonderful tutorial ! Thank you!
You’re an awesome teacher, with a lot of patience❤
Very helpful video! What kind and size of cats tongue brush are you using? It’s not in the sets in your Amazon store is it? Love to watch your videos! 😍
Wow! This is the best video. Thank you.
This was so helpful! Thank you
Can you do a review of goid composition tips and balance in a floral
Ellen - I guess for complex leaves it is good to draw them first? Cats tongue makes amazing shapes!
So this is in a cellulose paper sketchbook. One strike against it. And I haven't yet gotten the technique down. But after I filled the page, I saw fish instead of leaves. So I doodled them! Off to find some better paper in my stash and practice some more. Maybe I'll get leaves this time.
I was able to follow along and finish this painting… it turned out pretty well but I would like to try it again because I know I could do better. Thank you for giving such a clear explanation.
Thank you yes that was most helpful and love the pic! Tfs
Thank you for showing BUT for me it's difficult with Parkinson's and being 82 years young I need three sheets paper next to each other or I will end up on the table ha ha from South Africa
This video was very helpful for me. You make it look so simple. I will be practicing the strokes with the 2 types of paper and with the different brushes. Your videos are great. Thank you.
Thank you!! ❤️
Thank you!!
Super tutorial, Ellen. Thank you so much!
Ellen, I love your videos and have learned so much from you. Have you ever done a watercolor tutorial on painting sunset safari for leucadendrons? (I’ve searched yt, but didn’t find any.) I am struggling with painting this plant and would love see your approach.
I'm just about to start water color painting and I'm really enjoying your videos. Should I always draw out what I want to paint before I start?
Love the practice tips! I just got watercolor brushes, Princeton ones, for flowers. Wow I really tell the difference from my Walmart brushes, lol
Thanks for the demo today, Fast and beautiful.
This is exactly what I did today. Thank you
Great video Ellen! Can you explain the difference between velvet touch and Neptune series brushes by Princeton?
P.S a member of my family lives near Limoges, in a small village called St Paul.
So helpful!
Thank you very much.
You are using a princeton neptune brush size 12,8, and what was the 3rd one? I'm a beginner...just soaking up information.
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today
You should buy and hold tech stock Crypto investment
You should know it's easy and hard to make that much profit. I say EASY because it's very possible to make that much, and Hard because you'll need professional assistance to do it, I'd suggest you get assisted by a market advisor.
That is totally true, but how well does a financial advisor improve your profit? What is the experience like using an advisor?
I can't disclose too much, but yea I've been using a coach and through his guidance, I've been able to make approx. $24,000 in dividends on a monthly basis, it is pretty straight forward, not as complicated as it used to be.
He's called Mr Jamie Saettele
Ellen, thanks for this very helpful video! I want to purchase the 1/2 cats tongue Princeton brush. The closest one I found on dickblicks is called an oval wash - is that the same thing but different name? If not, where can I purchase it? I didn't see it in your shop. Thanks again!
I always appreciate your videos! Thank you. I hope the workshop in France went well. Do you ever do workshops in Mass? I would love to attend!
❤
Why do you tape your brush handles?
Would you kindly list the colors you use in your main pallet?
its all in the description box
Please explain more then once which paper you are working with and their qualities, ie: which is cold press and which Is hot pressed.
Does a filbert brush have the same effect as a cats tongue brush?
Hope you get over your jet lag soon, but I bet it was worth it!
