I want to thank you for opening up a whole new world for me, I love watching you paint and I'm a year into my journey with watercolor and I never knew I had this gift, I've recently sold my first painting and I owe it to you. My husband doesn't even get mad when I spend the money on professional supplies and I'm 3k into it and never one word from him, anyway thank you for your videos and helping me believe in myself, which I couldn't do before ❤
You had me at, "We're gonna be splattering paint". lol Love your channel so much. I don't get to comment often because I normally watch through my Amazon Fire Stick - I am able to Like, Subscribe, and Hit the Bell for notifications. I've done that! I love your work. It is fun, colourful, and whimsy. Thanks for the joy in some of my darkest seasons.... To top it all off my kitty just died and I'm FURever changed. I need this right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🐈⬛💕
LOVE this. Love the technique, love your commentary, love the playfulness, love the confidence you instill. Thanks, Ellen! You are one of very best teachers out there.😊
I use an old glass cutting board and flip it to the smooth side. I’m using this technique often for my beach scenes. The results are always great. Thanks dear Ellen. Blessings to you and everyone!
@@rmuller366 It actually works well because it is a hard surface with a "gloss" or smooth finish to it so it works like a suction cup lol I remembered after seeing your suggestion too that I used glass to "stick" some photos to as well when i was doing a project. it worked well for those too. thanks again :) Happy Painting!
I love this!! The "blur" of colors! ...and the way you wet the paper front, back and tilted it. I never thought of doing that. I've been trying to do more " blured scenery paintings. Thanks!
I love your teaching style! It feels as though I’m spending time with a friend. 😊 You’re unguarded, remarks and thoughtful conversation are unique and very helpful! Thank you!
I really appreciate the way you teach. We learn the techniques but you are always encouraging us to use our imagine and to experiment with colors and ideas.
Thank you! I just got my brusho set, so I was playing around after I watched this video. And when it created its own kind of beach scene, I remembered you and got my stick to make grass! It totally fleshed it out. (Now I'm going to go back to watch some beach tutorials, so I can add texture? surf? to the water.) I appreciate you so much. You have been such an inspiration and influence since I started painting!
This really is an amazing technique. I just found out about it a few weeks ago. You can make that paper super wet, then roll off the excess with a rolled up clean white cloth and literally have a wet page for an hour. Beautiful, Ellen!
Fantastic technique,, I definitely use this in my painting. I like the way you mixed colours, totally loose and experimental. Great video. Keep up the excellent job.
I love using this wet technique. Such a fun trick! I don’t use my heat tool when I do this because the paper ends up folding up and warping, so definitely agree with letting it dry on its own 🤩
Hi Ellen. Thank you for sharing this with us and showing us your tips. I am a beginner painter and have used this technique in the past, not knowing it was really a "technique" lol so that's cool to find out now. It does work very well. I have not painted in a couple of yrs and feeling more inspired after seeing a few of your videos, so thank you for that and i really enjoyed your painting as well. Blessings and have a wonderful week.
Wonderful. You boost my confidence. You make it appear doable. You are a great teacher and i love your style. I appreciate all the effort you go to for us. Thank you so much. 💗
I loved this video! I especially liked seeing how you organize and mix your colors. Many artists do that "off-camera" and watching you I see how the colors are created and why they harmonize so well. I found this really useful!
Your creativity is very impressive and your technique is very unique and beautiful! It’s very beautiful! Thank you for this beautiful sharing! Greetings from canada 🇨🇦
This is such a great lesson in wet on wet. I am a real newbie and you have truly inspired me with your "play" and "make it your own" approach. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you so much!!
That was really fun, thank you. I found the best thing for making skinny grasses. My daughters gave me a plant for my birthday. The card holder has a very sharp point where it goes into the plant. the sharp end works fantastic.
I love it! Back in the mid 90s when I began doing watercolor classes, on the list of supplies was some kind of board. I went to Tap Plastics and got a remnant of plexiglass a few inches lager than 1/4 sheet of paper and somewhere back then I discovered that getting the paper wet and putting it on like this was wonderful! In the summer, I just lifted the paper a bit and sprayed it down and it was wonderful painting plein air on hot summer days! I think you're the first video that I remember seeing someone else do it! LOL! I love the results of your spraying and splattering - and putting that line back there! This actually reminds me of our back field at my folks' place. There was a small woods on one side and about an acre of hay. We didn't have so much Queen Anne's Lace as we did Scotch broom. I'm allergic to both! LOL! They stopped haying over the years and from what I've seen on Google maps, trees have now grown in the field.
Great demonstration. Loved being able to see your brush strokes. That was very helpful. Your instructions, comments and directions were very clear. Thank you.

Lovely painting. I love the out of focus effect of the distant trees and the acrylic ink flowers. Gorgeous!

My sympathy for you on the loss of your kitty. The more you love them, the greater your grief😢.
LOVE this. Love the technique, love your commentary, love the playfulness, love the confidence you instill. Thanks, Ellen! You are one of very best teachers out there.😊
Thank you so much!
@@ellencrimitrentthank you so much im 82 years young just started painting oh im from South Africa keep well
The metal tip of a mechanical pencil works great for grass. Love your Queen Anne's lace technique.
Me encantó en cuanto lo vi. Gracias, Ellen; pronto lo voy a intentar. Un cordial saludo desde el NW de México 🌵🌼
Thank you for all of your hard work and for posting so frequently.
My pleasure!
After watching you have "fun", I'm going to dig out my paints, brushes, and easel
and paint again! Thanks for your encouragement!!
It’s SO beautifully layered!! Thank you for the lesson!!!
I love your encouragement for all levels.
You make it look so easy. Very pretty. I really like the idea of wetting the back to keep the paper flat.
I saw someone use the corner of the paint tube to scrape! It works! Beautiful painting 🥰
I use an old glass cutting board and flip it to the smooth side. I’m using this technique often for my beach scenes. The results are always great. Thanks dear Ellen. Blessings to you and everyone!

I might have to give this a try, during our extreme heatwave weather in the summertime. Thanks for sharing this wonderful informational video.
I love not just watching your process but listening to it too
I really appreciate the way you teach. We learn the techniques but you are always encouraging us to use our imagine and to experiment with colors and ideas.
Love this soft foggy looking technique! Can’t wait to try the sprat and stick (lol) tip for wet on wet. Thanks, Ellen!
Hope you like it!

Thanks so much for this very helpful tutorial, Ellen! I love this beautiful painting and will be practicing it over and over.

Another fun play that becomes a wonderful composition …thanks Ellen
Love this and so many different ways/techniques to achieve it...👍❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice! Love this technique. Wet on wet. And thanks for the info on wetting the back so it will stick and then lay flat when it dries !
Oh so pretty!!
that was great . . . going to try to do what you showed us!!
Ellen it is so beautiful and of a velvety texture. I love it. You make it so doable and fun for others. Thanks. ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely loved this! I was surprised it stayed down the whole time on my board! I will try this again for my watercolors.
You are a magician Ellen.😊
