    I've wasted all these years convinced I could not draw. It is because of you I've discovered I actually can. Your method of doing minis and then working bigger is soooo helpful. Your calming voice has given me real confidence. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Cheers

    Amazing Ellen! I stumbled onto your videos today and have learned more from this 45 minute video than I have in many other teachers and artists. You do a wonderful time of showing me how to draw flowers from different perspectives and seeing flowers from every different direction and angles, and how to get them look sophisticated with all the lines. I am in awe of your talent, just maybe I can do this. Not as pretty as yours and certainly not as fast.❤

    Lovely composition. Especially useful to see different angles of the flowers to move it up a level from primary school images 😀. Like you say no substitute for practice. I definitely prefer to draw with pencil first to work out the shape. Oval tip is great! Good to have a practice piece of paper to doodle - I don't do that enough.
