    Cute! These would make nice Christmas ornaments as well. Just glue some ribbon to the frame and hang them on your tree.

    I love mini frames...they're so easy for a lot of small art.

    I painted the one with the stream, shared it on fb, and someone wanted to buy it! I kind of messed up the water's perspective but will keep at it.
    Tried the scraping one too, need to finish it. I absolutely love your videos and am learning so much from you. Thank you Ellen!!

    Lovely idea! How about a mini tree ornament to either mail or give as a gift. Maybe mounted on card stock in different shapes. What can your creative mind come up with? Everyone can use an ornament. 😊

  • @maggieferguson21
    @maggieferguson21 2 года назад

    I really enjoyed this tutorial and have made two renditions of the birch trees. The scraping technique works so well. My favorite blue is endanthrene blue which is perfect for a night sky. Wish you could see all the holiday houses/church I have created based on a tutorial you made last year. I have had such fun painting those but ended up keeping most of them for myself as I couldn't bear to part with them. I use glitter and shimmer paint for ice and snow and it really adds a frosty touch that gives a scene that holiday sparkle. I will keep watching and learning from you. Thanks and Happy New Year, Ellen! The best silver glitter paint is made by an artisan in England, Karen KJ Designs (I think), and the paint is called Bezel. Wets instantly and goes on like a dream. Perfect for Christmas.

    I cracked up at,"they can stick it in their bathroom". Because, I always think that my art is good for a bathroom too.

  • @beccabowen7332
    @beccabowen7332 Год назад

    Very cool and fun paintings. I am trying them for gifts this year. Quick question: what kind of brush is best for small, fine work? I have a small brush but when I use it, it smashes down so the fine point ends up not being used, but dragged behind the rest of the brush. What kind of brush won't flatten out like that?

    Are you using granulated watercolors? I’m asking because of the ways the trees spread out and seemed to separate.

      It looks like it’s coming down the hill….narrow in the distance, wider as it gets closer…to me, anyway…

    • @HeartLaineCreations
      @HeartLaineCreations 2 года назад

      No, it's actually correct.
      Do an online search of photos of rivers and streams going down hill or just landscapes with them in. And the river is more narrow at the top of the image the further away it is in the distance.
      It is wider as it gets closer towards us.
      It the same with roads, railway tracks paths, etc. It gets narrow the further away it becomes. It is called the "vanishing point" in art.
