i watched part of this video when you posted it, but it seemed too hard for my skills. Now, two years later, i am so comfortable doing this orchid that it was kind of funny. (I do have a warped sense of humor) All of your other videos have taught me so much. Thank you. you are appreciated by many.
I don’t know how I missed this one Ellen, but it did come up on my feed today. I’m so grateful for this method. I love your loose style and I’ll try standing up. Have a few times, but it still feels weird. My friend Lynne calls the center of orchids their angels if you look close, they do look like angels.
As such a beginner I can only watch in amazement how you paint with that technique! Feel would need an actual person next to me “as love watching” but truly can’t use a brush that way. Ty just beautiful!
Always look forward to your tutorials. Your comments are encouraging, & I have enjoyed using your paintings to guide me in working w/watercolor which I was always AFRAID of. But in my older years I have expanded my horizons thanks to your doable tutorials.
Thanks so.much for sharing you talents and skills .. I'm just a complete beginner and am so thrilled with what I have achieved by following your tutorials.. a big THANK YOU !!
Another fabulous tutorial Ellen. I feel my art has improved so much since I have been following you. I love the explanations, you make me smile. Art is great therapy during these uncertain times and your gorgeous paintings are an inspiration. So, thank you, again and again for this outlet... 🤗❤️👍
Tried it and loved it!!! Still learning your 'push the paint' technique but getting there. I will do this one over and over but for a first try I was really pleased. Thanks for all you do for us learners.
Love your tutorials and no nonsense approach. I have to share this with you...I have a playlist I titled with your name. I just noticed that good old autocorrect changed it to ‘Ellen Criminal-Trent.’ Got a bit of a chuckle from that one! Thanks again for sharing your time and talent with us!
I painted this ...I was very skeptical trying out water colours but after seeing your videos , now I am having so much fun doing water painting...thanks a ton!!
This painting is just stunning!! I have grown these orchids & have a couple at the moment in tiny bud. I never dreamt that you could get the result that you did in this tutorial, without spending weeks in painting it 😮. You make it look so very easy & I know that without a lot of experience one could never make it look so easy, loose & realistic at the same time. This is just breathtaking to me & will watch this tutorial over & over again, but am sure however many times I try, mine will never end up like yours 😂😂😥. Can’t get enough of your tutorials to watch Ellen 😊. Cheers 😊❤️💕🥰😘😍
Oh my!! Beautiful. 😀 Thanks for the words of wisdom, I needed them. I'm new to this and I'm finding it a lot harder than I thought. I knew it wasn't going to be easy but seeing you paint blows my mind! 😵 I'll just keep practicing, that's all I can do 😀. Thanks for sharing 🤗
I love watching your tutorials and I love your attitude. I want to love a brush as much as you do so could you let me know exactly what I should order? Thanks so much.
Hi Gail, after reading this comment i have checked you on instagram and really loved your paintings. You gave me courage to give it a try 😊 thank both you and Ellen 🙏🙏

I almost didn't watch this bc I was sure I couldn't do it. You made it make sense and I will definitely try it.
Thank you! I was able to paint something beautiful in memory of someone I love.
