The Christmas tree bokeh is awesome
I enjoy ALL your videos. I’m best, as a beginner, with the abstracts. Thank you for all you do to help us out here.
Wow. I love your tutorials, especially the abstracts. This is one of my favorites by far.
Glad you like them!
Love these Ellen…like the blue/green & splatter..feels like it’s snowing on the card & the blurring effect…
I really like the real time presentation. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Bueatiful as always lv Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much!
Always fun to watch you Ellen...now it's my turn to play! 😆 thank you for all you do and happy holidays to you and yours! 😘
Same to you!
I love that you are a real time tutorial girl!
Absolutely LOVED this Christmas card presentation! Please continue live presentation, it’s like you were in my kitchen! Happy Holidays, your Student, Karen Dirmish
Thank you! Will do!
Wonderful idea for a card and so Christmassy!!🎅
Thank you! 😊
I luv it when you experiment….. gives me more freedom to doing more with watercolor! Keep up with abstract ideas!,,,thanjs!
Thank you! Cheers!
You make it all look so easy! And so many tricks of watercolor. Thanks!
Thanks so much 😊
Really cool Ellen! You must be a riot to hang out with, someday I'll come one of your classes. Love the painting 🎨 too
I am you should come- I actually have a spot on my March 2 Charleston workshop - someone who bought her space cannot go.:) I told her I would try and sell her tix since I don't do refunds- but you can easily resell it like a concert tix.
@@ellencrimitrent kinda far for me to go, but I would really love it!
I see blue green, looks like the milky way, lovely cards. Will be trying this method.
Have fun!
I am so inspired by the abstract videos tonight. My traditional tree cards are not going to be on this years' agenda!! Thank you!!
I just love this one! Your techniques are so fun… I’m going to try this one!
Yay! Thank you!
@@ellencrimitrent just to follow up, I did the tutorial and it turned out great! I actually had some arches rough. I like it better than cold pressed. Thanks so much for your tutorials. I especially like these loose textured techniquey tutorials. Merry Christmas!
Once again... AMAZING 😍
Did this today and love it! Almost stopped partway thru (I have trouble being “loose”) but kept going and trusted the process. Going to make a couple more now. Thanks Ellen
Love your greens!
Beautiful card, my card a bit darker I like your much more the white makes it real winter. Thank you
Super tutorial! These techniques are invaluable to us budding artists, and they are fun, fun fun! Thank you, Ellen.
So beautiful...LOVE LOVE it 🙏
I loved your tutorial! The result was beautiful! Thank you so much…going to try this❤️
So pretty. Can’t wait to try this one out. 🌲🌲🌲
Hope you enjoy it!
@@ellencrimitrent thanks ☺️
Love this!!!!
thank you !
I love these! Kind of a “Go Within” feeling for me. It’s fresh and fun and spontaneous. Also going to find some Arches Rough paper on sale and give these a try. Thanks for being real and taking risks.❤
It's a really pretty blue-green on my screen....not ugly gray! This I hope will be my New Year's card...."peace" for 2023. Thank you! happiest of holidays! ❣
Those backgrounds are stunning!
Looks like sea glass! I love it.
Love love love these 😍
Definitely doing this 👍🏻
I love these ❤
Absolutely love this. And you always make me smile
So pretty.
Love this green color.
Love ❤
Great tutorial and result. Thanks.
That is so simple and turned out perfectly beautiful.
Thank you! Cheers!
Love this Ellen and it looks so simple to do! Will definitely give it a go - thank you 😊
I could see the bluish green colour that you thought looked a bit grey and I think your top painting would look good as a portrait card? do you think? Your tutorial was brilliant Ellen, thank you for your inspiration and how to get to the end !😊xx
Great idea!!
So gorgeous!! Beautiful work! I'm definitely going to try this too! Thank you for this tutorial!
You are so talented. I made this card which is so beautiful and gave it to someone. They really liked it so thank you so much for sharing this! It was a lot of fun to make and you are fun to listen to.
I will this a try tomorrow. Have been working on your card with black paper, a taped off square in the center and metallic gold and other color leaves, flowers & dots. It was fun and final results not bad for the first try. What i like to do is watch your tutorial a couple times, use your painting as inspiration and then do my own version. It is interesting to see how similar my painting compares to yours. While they are often quite different one can tell they are related. Thank you for motivating and inspiring me to paint with watercolor after not doing so for decades. I taught painting for years (all media) but your techniques are quite different than what i use to do. I am loving this journey and want to sincerely thank you for your videos. Susan in NC
Ellen, just made four cards and ready to make some more. So fun. Joined your membership group yesterday. Looking forward to more inspiration and fun. Susan
I loved this!! : ) Inspired to make cards for all kinds of holidays. Already thinking about Valentine's day ;)
Wow, I really like this one…..Ty🎄merry Christmas
Same to you!
Ooh this looks great fun Ellen 😀 I really enjoy your videos, love your enthusiasm 😊 Wiggle wiggle made me smile, it's my baby grandaughter's favourite thing to say at the moment 😁
I'm so glad!
Thank you Ellen, your comments throughout the entire video help me understand the process. But, I wish you would have let me see the paint dry between painting, spritzing and spritzing, I never know how long to wait before moving on. Love this
Love this and I even have some rough paper by accident 🙃
yay!
I tried this one a couple weeks ago. Good first try but my pine branches looked more like palm branches. Plan to try again with a smaller brush.
❤
From Susan. Love these and I just happen to have some Arches rough in the cupboard, Thank you, Ellen
Love your tutorials Ellen. Can you please post a link for the new palette your using. I love it!
I wish I had your vision ❤
Love this! I have problems with gel and white pens, they stopped working. Ideas?
Wow! Such fun! Also love your palette. Where did you get it?
Love it! I felt like I was there with you! Is that just rubbing alcohol or is water mixed with it? Going to give this a try definitely!
Wish you could package and ship your incredible knowledge of color
Ellen, how do I get further info regarding your videos. What is Patreon? During your demonstrations, I feel you are right here with me and making me laugh while you turn out amazing art! I haven’t seen any videos that equal your demos! Thanks Sheila from CT
Gorgeous! Is it rubbing alcohol?
I have a question, all the way from Norway! Love your tutorials, it's so fun and I guess I learn a lot too!
So the question: what can I use as the alchohol spray, i don't drink alcohol anymore, and don't have it in my home except for white spirit/ thinner for brushes I use for oilpainting. Thank you so much for allbthe inspiration and happy hours! Love from Lise
Love this, where can I show you something I did of yours from a year ago?
Tag on instagram or my biz facebook
Great tutorial, Ellen! Thank you. What kind of alcohol are you using in your spray bottle?
Try tearing the edges instead of cutting. Thankx for the tutorial!! ❤
What kind of glue should you use to secure the painting to the card stock? Thanks
What tape are you using?
I wish you would list the paint colors and supplies in advance. It's hard to follow along and try to figure out what colors and brushes to have ready . Thanks.
If you scroll down everything is listed. Ellen essentially uses pretty much the same colors because she can mix whatever colors she wants with what she has before her.
yup
you can read the description box first with all my supplies I used then watch the video :)
Is that rubbing alcohol you use in the spray bottle?
Stamp the lettering, that's what I would do
Love this!
