I am teaching watercolor to a small group of developmentally disabled adults and I am going to get them to try this. It’s amazing how well they do! I will try and show you some of their work sometime. They love your videos as much as I do!

I painted this and it turned out really pretty. I'm a beginner and its one of the nicest paintings I've done i hung it on the wall.

I’m learning SO much! Thank you! I’m very ill from osteoporosis and some days I can hardly move from my aching back...then I paint! Tomorrow I will try this! Maybe it will be ok and I can give it to my little brother who has helped me a lot lately, when I’ve been extra much in pain.

Saying a prayer for you. 💜

@SleepyCatCottage Год назад

Being creative is such a wonderful way to manage and cope with life's challenges and difficulties...physical and mental. Time flies and pain is lessened. RU-vid is wonderful for learning about art and the tutorials are fabulous. I put on some music or listen to an audio book and the world becomes a better place. My new project for the next year is to work with the exercises in Lorna Scobie's books all beginning with the title"365 Days of" ...Drawing, Creativity, Art in Nature, etc. they are actual work books with tons of stimulating ideas and exercises. Some times i am just not stimulated and don't know what to do in my "creativity center" so i have a feeling these will be fun and give me a kick start. Plus there is always something new to learn. My best wishes to you. Make art part of every day.

@jeanettecook1088 Год назад

Sorry to hear about your osteoporosis... I'm 67, and fairly healthy, but I have times when my stress won't be relieved by anything but painting. I paint and forget everything else! People like Ellen help guide us on the journey... she has taught me so much! 💗

@ErinEnoArt Год назад

I’m so sorry to hear about your condition. I too suffer from extreme back pain, have compression fractures and severe osteoporosis. I started watercolour painting as well as a way to distract my mind. I even started a RU-vid channel but, sadly, due to multiple setbacks, have not even been able to sit and paint for over 2 months. I hope your pain allows you to continue to paint and that you can enjoy your artistic journey ❤️

Hi Ellen, just wanted to say thank you for giving me the inspiration to pick up my paintbrushes again. I lost my way due to illness and then the intensive care and worry for my elderly dog as she came to the end of her life. I didn't think I would ever feel creative again but thanks to your tutorials I have now painted 10 Christmas cards and am looking forward to giving this a go. Stay safe..

@jennifer4426 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this! I always feel a little stressed in the middle of it, but I was pretty happy with the result! It was so easy I could do it while my kids were all crowded around or roller blading and tossing footballs! I'm hoping to work through many of your tutorials this winter!

@SilverSeaOT7 Год назад

Came back (2022) to say that I did make a couple of these last year. Coming back because I want to make more this year. They turned out so well! I impressed myself. Haha-And I’m my worst critic. Probably the prettiest Christmas cards I’ve made. (Thanks for your great instructions.)

Just found your channel, a year later. Loved the tutorial. Always wanted to learn to paint with watercolor. I am a landscape oil painter and also paint with acrylics, but I always had a mental block when it came to watercolor. Made no sense to me and I only made a mess. Your tutorial seemed so easy, I’m going to try watercolors again! Thank you!

@nicolemarie6273 3 года назад

I painted this today and I learned a few things. I kept needing to add water to get the paint to keep running to the edge. I learned that I needed way more paint than I usually use! It took me beyond a 'hesitant' threshold, which was great. I wanted to use it for my Christmas card this year, but I will try another one before I decide. I kept backing away to get a different perspective and see if it was good enough and when I realized I was in the living room and my painting was in the dining room I started laughing. Try try again! I love the blues and greens of this! Thank you, Ellen. :)
