    Hi! I am sooo happy to have run across this video of yours! I am 82 years young, new watercolor person, been discouraged lately & your video got me back to my painting area today. A big thank you i Love this method. I did the 1st one & am going to do the 2nd one after dinner. Love it & i am back thanks to you. I am letting my little girl inside PLAY once again! And this is coming from a perfectionist! I sooo needed this!😊

    Hi Ellen! I love when you say I am going to destroy it and then that evil laugh! 😅. I love that you tell us to play that is why I love watching your videos. I hope one day I can be a patron but I am disabled and on a limited income. Love and Light to you!

    “You don’t know what you like until you try them all.” So very, very true. I’ve yet to land on an exact style, lol. Some piece are precision and some loose. Depends on the day. Thank you for sharing Ellen. You always make me smile. Blessings to you!

    I loved the “destroying” part of painting along with you. When you said “isn’t this fun?”
    I said “yes!” I have always wanted to do the loose look and this was perfect to get that look.

    I added a little Christmas sparkle to mine by adding one drop of silver acrylic craft paint to the water puddle I used to wash over the flowers and leaves. It is very subtle and makes a nice card.
