I just want you to know that your relaxed approach to painting and instruction is unmatched on KZread. Shame on them for making it harder for people to find/see you!😂

The red added so much. Very pretty.

That was very interesting Ellen. Yesterday I was actually lifting in a sunset setting, lifting out driftwood shapes on the beach. I was using Canson Montval Paper and it is awesome. I had gotten a block of Stonehenge 300 lb paper and was very disappointed in it. When I used wet on wet, I lost my drawing. When I took the tape off it tore the paper, even when I used heat! I was resigned to only use Arches when I got gifted with a large block of 10 x 14 Montval, so I decided to divide it up and did some smaller paintings. I couldn't believe how good that paper is, and its not cotton! I did masking, lifting, wet on wet and whatever else I could think of and it was wonderful. I would recommend it as a great, less expensive paper than Arches. I know you were using Bee Creative 100% cotton sketchbooks a while ago. I used to use them before Covid 19 and those sketch books were fantastic, but I have to say I was disappointed in the new ones. The tape rips the paper and you can't put masking fluid on it. You could on the old ones. I wondered if you had an opinion on that paper. So my hubby loved your painting of atmospheric daisies, so I am going to give it a try on the Montval paper. Thank you so much for all you have given to me and I know others feel the same. I have learned so much from you and will always be grateful.

I love this technique to make the white flowers, and also how you made the other flowers more atmospheric. Great inspiration. Love your videos.

What fun, thank you love it,

I love your videos, neighbor. We are in the same part of the world. Lol

Thanks, Ellen! I have a friend's birthday coming up and I'm going to try this! Question: Someone gave me black watercolor paper. Have you ever used it? I figured I'd try metallics. Not sure.

love it!

Yes loved it. Beautiful and free!!

Thank you so much for your fun relaxed and encouragement tutorials. You take all the stupid stress out of it and keep the fun in it❤

Love your videos!

love it

Oh, I want to try this one. I so appreciate all the different techniques you share. I'm always learning from you. I so appreciate how the camera angle you use allows us to see what you're doing each brush stroke. I have vision loss and your videos are easy for me to see and understand. Thank you!

This is beautiful, can’t wait to try !!💕🌸🌸🌸

Lovely. I’ve just discovered watercolor painting. I’m anxious to try it. Following you and enjoying so much. I look forward to getting started one day soon. Thank you for sharing your talent and color inspirations. ❤

Thanks

Hi! Ellen, I always enjoy watching your tutorials and have learnt so much on how to handle watercolour, my problem mostly was not freeing myself up and being more loose trying too hard to be perfect so am very thankful to you for helping me overcome that but still find myself getting a bit tight at times. However I have painted these wild flowers and really enjoyed it, made a couple of changes only, with the lifting out on the flowers found it a bit difficult as it was a very hot day here in Australia 36deg Celsius with the paint drying too quick so had to add a little white, I am trying to forward a photo of the painting to you but not sure how to do that, I’m not very tech, but will try. Thanking you Ellen, wishing you are very Happy Healthy New Year. Sylvia 🎉🌻❤️

loved this! my daisies are not so white so i painted alittle white,!! thanks

Jealous rain! Send to texas!

Just discovered you! Great tutorial! 19:36

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hey you tube, Ellen is great, elevate her, don’t bury her.

My water color paper does not stay wet enough to lift any suggestions even though I'm using 100% cotton. Thank you for your sharing of your gift.

This looks so whimsical. I have a strange relationship with lifting. Maybe the reason is that i use student grade paints but a lot of times the paints really stain the paper and I'm not able to get a clean look.

Wat is wed on wed??? Is that the category of these Technics?

So how hard was this??? ***** VERY!******** I'll try this again when I get up the nerve.

Why does my tapping and loose painting look so bad?

great tutorial b ut i have one peice of feedback for you. I found it frustrating that the volume of your voice cuts in and out it seems like you jare too far aaway from your mic and it cdoesnt pick up your voice prooperly. I have noticed. this on many of your other tutorials.

love it
