    If you have metallic watercolors you can add dots also with the metallic watercolors to make it bling....very interesting and informative video will deftly use this design to send postcards out to family and friends this year I'll just add dorland wax over the postcards before I send them in mail....many art blessing to you and your family....🎨

    LOVED the white gouache "snowflakes!" Never thought of a "wet" (LOL) snowflake! I'm a huge fan of Verditer Blue, and only Holbein sells it from my research. Perfect tone for 1st wash on outdoor trees, then Sodalite Genuine (DS) on top for branches. GORGEOUS color that I use sparingly. Another goodie, Ellen! Many thanks!

    These are lovely! As a novice, I am really looking forward to practicing your technique. Though I will limit my snowflakes to 6 points as they are in nature. In case anyone is wondering why 6 and not 8, it has to do with the way the water molecules are shaped. Granted, there are many other examples of 8-pointed snowflakes out there in the artistic world. I am so glad that RUclips found you for me. Thanks for sharing.😊

    Wonderful tutorial, thanks! I spent the morning painting two of each; each unique and different just like snowflakes. I tried using white acrylic but it was too thick to get the fine lines. Second batch I used my white gouache and that worked much better. Great excercise for brush and paint control and I love the results. I'm going to paint some sparkly, clear, craft acrylic, on some of the snowflakes so they twinkle.

I’ll put up with the ads only to watch these wonderful and inspiring tutorials so I can go in my happy corner and paint away while waiting for the pandemic to go far, far away

    • @ChrisAndCats
      @ChrisAndCats 4 года назад +1

      I'm pretty sure you'll find its youtube who control the amount and placement of any ads, I've seen channel owners discuss it before. The channel is simply monetised, and why should they not? One can always skip an ad, but people deserve something for their time making these tutorials and/or content. Not everyone can afford to support on patreon, especially now, so it gives everyone a chance this way with well deserved (although not very much) revenue for the channel in the process.
