Thank you! I was able to paint something beautiful in memory of someone I love.

I love when you say"just have fun!"

My favorite flower, fantastic painting Ellen!!. Love the ease of your creation and personality. Hurry back with another video please!!. ❤

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.

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.

Oh Ellen! I so love your tutorials! There just aren’t enough hours in the day for all the painting I want to do. Thank you for your work!! 🥰

Beautiful tutorial, thank you Ellen. I’ve just painted this as a birthday card for my mother 🥰

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... 🤗❤️👍

Love the way you teach us how to paint these pretty flowers! Have a great weekend. Stay safe.

Thank you! You too!

You’re an exceptional teacher, Ellen!! Been following for 4 years!!

thank you SOOO much !!! super simple to follow perfedct for what i need it during lock down !!!

Your technique on the blossoms is brilliant! I loved watching this so much!

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!

So fun and motivating! I can’t wait to get home from work and get painting!

I’m using your tutorials to teach a young, very talented girl. She picks up everything. 😮

It was so helpful seeing how you corrected the bleeds, and all the little tips you give along the way. Thank you. Great tutorials!

Thank you so much! The orchids look just like the one my sweet hubby bought for me at the grocery store🖤

Gorgeous Ellen!! I love the light, the negative space in the pot!

Bonita demostraciòn. Gracias!

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.

Thank you for this Ellen. I've been wanting to paint an orchid, my favorite flowers and this is beautiful.

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.

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 🤗

You have the perfect amount of looseness. I will keep trying to mimic you to get that ability. Love your calm voice.

Always a pleasure doing one of your tutorials.

Love every tutorial you give us! Awesome! THANK YOU SO MUCH!❤️

Great technique, so simple and practical! I couldn't figure out how to paint orchids until now! Thank you!

Beautiful! Can't wait to paint this. I love the loose watercolor look.

Beautiful. Definitely going to give it a try, love the indigo. Thank you.

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!

Simple yet beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much for these wonderful tutorials! You have been such a blessing to my watercolor journey.

Great tutorial! I'm going to practice right now until I feel comfortable painting the whole thing. Thanks!!!

Cant wait to try this. GREAT TIPS. Thank you

I tried this and it worked out great! Thank you so much. I made a card for my Aunt. I am very pleased with it.

I liked the tutorial very much I was confused at first about the flowers,but as it progressed I saw the orchids appear Very good Thanks

I grow a few orchids....love them. You made this look so easy that I have to give it a try. Thx Ellen...🎨🧑🏼‍🎨

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.

Thanks Ellen. I suck at flowers. Even my effort of this one turned out ok. Thanks again. 💜

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 😊❤️💕🥰😘😍

So nice watercolor painting 👍

Beautiful.

Thank you !new to your channel…very much enjoying it…I’m a beginner , and thrilled to be able to do some of your teachings💕😊💫
