I just love watching you do your thing. I love this and it’s not so intimidating with a small piece of paper. thank you ❤️

This is some Bob Ross magic

hi ellen! ive been doing your tutorials for a few weeks now and they have been such a huge help and inspiration! i only began painting (and sketching, being creative in general) 4 months ago. i went my first 38 years of life thinking i had no talent to do anything. but thank god that, on a whim, i decided to buy some watercolors! painting has been the thing i look forward to each day, stress relief, just such an amazingly fun way to express myself. i used to say i couldnt draw a straight line! now, i paint these lovely landscapes with your help, among many other styles. i know now that anyone can be an artist, if i became one!! i couldnt believe it, when one day, after many messy and "failed" paintings, that i had improved!! your teaching style is perfect for me, and you are appreciated more than you know. to all the would-be artists out there... you CAN create, paint, draw etc! i found that creativity is a muscle. the more you work it and practice, the better you get, as with anything in life. try something new Today. it just may change your life!

My friend and I meet every Wednesday to paint and we do your tutorials often. We love them! Thanks Ellen!

awesome love to hear this!

I was having a rough watercolor practice session, but I tried this tutorial and I feel so happy and proud! My painting came out so ethereal and dreamy and it helped me regain my confidence. Thank you!

I have to tell you!!! YOU are the most real watercolor artist on youtube. If you ask anyone else a question the other artist answers are sarcastic not at all helpful!!! Thank you for being so helpful!

I just learned so much from watching you paint this miniature landscape. Thank you so much!

That is so beautiful - I’ve never water-coloured before but have bought paper and paints to start making my own cards - Thankyou for your fantastic tutorial

Love this Ellen. Thanks a heap. Love your calm & encouraging voice. Total beginner and this will be my first ever attempt ❤

I absolutely adore this landscape. I keep trying to recreate it with varying degrees of success, but I enjoy every attempt.

love it! thks for the tutorial

I love these little mini's...I turn mine into cards and then send them to friends and loved ones.

Wow you are so great. Today I saw yor channel for the first time and today is exatly monday I tkink i'm so lucky..

I'll keep trying!!😌

These Mini Monday Madness paintings are my absolute favorite. Thank you for sharing. You're right, I love giving tiny paintings as gifts.

I love watching you paint. I have tried so many of your projects. And techniques. You have really helped me loosen up my style! Thank you so much!

Loved this tutorial. I needed to make a little thank you card for my sister and this was just right 🥰

Really enjoy your approach and style, making it so easy to do! Thanks so much!

This was quick and fun mine didn't look like yours but it was fun anyway....stay safe yourself.

Thanks, you too!

These mini paintings look like memories. Like a foggy reminder of a certain place I've seen. So nice.

I recently got a block of watercolor postcards. Ive wrecked several larger watercolor journals but I honestly had no idea what to do with the tiny pristine pages until I came across this series! I'm enjoying them so much! Thank you Ellen!

I don't think I can paint but your mini paintings so make me want to have a go. And I will tomorrow!

Last year, during the heat of summer, my husband and I hiked with friends 3,200 feet into the Selkirks. Your painting reminded me of the lake we found hidden in the woods. In the lake was a huge moose eating the lily pads. I took a picture and yesterday painted using the picture as a guide usine the squirt bottle, but different hues. Something I never thought I could do before following your tutorials! Thank you!!! So many happy memories.

Thanks. I am learning a lot from you. I live close to the Gulf of Mexico and like your beach scenes. I’ve made four beach scenes as gift cards.

Love this so much! You inspire me every week to paint. Thanks so much Ellen.

They are great. I liked it with just the grass. I like simple in water color. But it's great that you do these because everyone can make them their own. Thank you. So pretty. I like your spray bottle technique

What a sweet project.....thanks so much!!!

I love these mini paintings. I put magnets on them and put them on my frig. It's getting pretty much covered in fun paintings that i get to look at every time i open the frig.

This is an amazing tutorial! Just starting to get into watercolor and this makes the “classic” watercolor landscape look so accessible. Super pleased with how mine turned out, the mix of tones and taping makes everything really pop. Thank you!

Loved the instant fuzzy tree. Your laugh made me smile, thank you for my first smile of the day. It is beautiful.

I love the mini Monday! I still haven’t painted one that I like, I’ll keep trying.

What a fun little painting....just the thing to send to a friend who might need some cheering up. Looks like I’ll be painting this on a postcard...snail mail❤️. Thank you!!!

Love your loose style & the colors you choose. A delight to the eye & fun to paint, even tho I’m a beginner & have a long way to go

Love, love, love the minis!

The optical illusion of the eye is incredible: some strokes of colour and a world is revealed! Never fails to amaze me & thank you so much for making it seem accessible, Emma.

Fun!! I look forward to your tutorial every day!! I try just about all of them!!!

I’m loving these mini Mondays. Being a total newbie since Covid lockdown I have been braving watercolor. Mostly using cheaper paper but was given some Arches, that I was afraid to use, so this is perfect for me to try without wasting too much quality paper as I get the hang of things. I don’t feel myself playing beat the clock before it dries, as often. Thank you!

Love your videos

I love this. Sooo pretty.

Love this!

I always love your videos. They are very inspiring. Thank you!

This is such a lovely little piece. I am going to give it a try.

Love this. Thank you so much for teaching us

Very pretty!

Thank you Ellen!!! Your tutorials are the BEST( and I've checked out several)! You show valuable and varied techniques in a brief amount if time with beautiful finished products every time. You've taught me sooo much. Thanks again🤗

amazing detail.. thanks for sharing.

So sweet!

Always fun to watch you

Thank you. I painted this last night and really enjoyed it. I subscribed, and I'm going to try more of your Mini Mondays. 😊 I wish we could show you our efforts. 😊

I like this Ellen! So cute!

Thank you! I have had a fear of trying a landscape painting and I think that I just figured out why: I think that I am afraid that it won’t turn out and then I have wasted a whole lot of watercolor paper. This seems like a great way to ease into it! Thank you!💕
