Elfshine Cottage
United States
Приєднався 22 лип 2022
My name is Bethany, and I am the artist behind Elfshine Cottage. You may wonder where the name for my shop came from.
I love the Old English language and its beautiful poetry. One of my favorite words in that language is the ælfscine, which means “elven beauty.”
I’ve always loved The Lord of the Rings, especially the Elves and their love for creating and beauty. I want my art to reflect that desire to create light in the darkness, to express the enduring beauty of the world even when it’s hard to see.
I also included “cottage” in my business name, for it is my dream to someday live in a cottage where art and music and good food are everywhere you look - basically a Hobbit-sized Rivendell!

A big Yesssss for C.S. Lewis and your video!🥰 Ps I love your dog 😍🫶
Thank you for such beautiful video and the tidbits of knowledge about the pigments meteorite brown is literally out of this world !!!!
Beautiful set you’ve made there. Is by any chances you could give us the 12 colours you chose? Thanks.
I believe they’re listed in the video 🙂
I see what I’m just now seeing this video. You put it out on our anniversary and we were gone. So happy to see a new video and you look simply beautiful. Your new painting is so cute. Love the idea. We are so dry out here in Idaho that I struggle using an acrylics because they dry so fast. Watercolor is a challenge also, but I have worked with it a lot more to learn how to overcome.
Thank you!! I’m so happy you enjoyed the video-and happy anniversary to you both!
You’re amazing ❤️
Thank you!! You are too ❤️
Beautiful painting!
Thank you!
As usual I enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Thank you!
So happy to see your videos again😍 Glad you are doing well. Blessings
Thank you!
Fancy hat!
Thank you! It feels old fashioned to me 🙂
@@elfshinecottage I do not know about fashion so I can’t comment. But it doesn’t look old fashioned on you.
Just came to be first 😂. Lovely music, though. Tempting to stay, but I need to complete something else first.
I hope you enjoy it!
@@elfshinecottage I’m sure I shall.
this was so relaxing and inspiring to watch 🥰
this video is beautiful and pure art itself! 🥰
Hello your aquarell painting is ever so beatiful I realy love it many greetings 😊😊
Loved the video. It was very peaceful and meditative. I am a big fan of A. Gallo. I love both my Signature 24 and Naturale 24 sets.
Looks gorgeous! How do you like it, I’m considering that palette as my first A. Gallo purchase. But to me it’s really a lot of money.
I really love A. Gallo paints! They’re definitely a splurge, so I don’t use them for everything I paint. I would start with one of their pre-made palettes if I were you because you’ll get a better range of colors for a little cheaper! These colors are great, but also not the most versatile.
This is a lovely video Bethany - I love to watch you paint, it totally inspires me to do the same. It reminds me of how truly blessed we are as artists! I am praying for you to be able to enjoy school for now, it's amazing how fast time flies and then suddenly you find yourself at 59 as I am, and I can barely remember going to school, much less all that I might have studied to learn, and how exhausting it all was lol I pray that you'll be able to live wherever your heart desires and there your art business will thrive immensely! Blessings.
Thank you for making another calm and relaxing video.
What a wonderful video, Bethany! Hope to see more from you here this summer :)
First!
Thank you looking forward to checking them out for myself!
Thank you deeply, for sharing the gift of your talent but more importantly for sharing the gift of your faith. Wishing you a joy-filled Easter Season.
You’re very welcome! ❤️ and I wish the same for you!
Love your palette and your art! Inspiring? Do you use your A Gallo? Just viewed your swatching of those!
Oh I still love my A Gallo! Because they’re pricey I don’t use them as much for practice, but they’re truly magical paints.
Thank you for the reply.💜 I ordered some today!!!!💜💜💜
Do you still reach for these? They are quite an investment so I was wondering what you think as you have had time to paint with them.
I do! I haven’t featured them in a video in awhile, but I recently put some new colors in there for a travel palette. I’m hoping to make a new video on them soon!
I can't get the affiliate link to work for Jackson's.
They actually sent out an email saying that the links are all broken! They’re working to get the system back up, but we don’t have a date yet unfortunately 😅
Well, that's a bummer. I guess I will just wait to order. No sense letting a glitch rob you of extra. 🙂 @@elfshinecottage
But you see.. he is not still on the cross.. He is Alive! Transfigured…sitting on the right hand of God The Father… not dead!
what was the name of the second church you visited and where are they both located? they looked breathtaking and i'd love to visit them if i could.
They’re both in Eureka Springs, Arkansas! The first one is Thorncrown Chapel, and the second is St. Elizabeth’s Catholic Church.
Perfect for this Holy Week. Love hearing the verse with your painting which turned out beautifully. Happy painting my friend. ❤
Thank you so much, Bethany, for sharing this beautiful tribute to our Lord. I love my Sweet Lord Jesus. Blessings to you too, for a wonderful Easter Celebration with friends and family. xoxoxoxo
Thank you!! I hope you have a blessed Easter as well!
Thank you so much for the stunning video! Your painting is so beautiful and so perfect for this approaching Holy Week! ...and has inspired me to create a similar painting this weekend as well...One question if you do not mind?...Where is the beautiful church that you visited?...I absolutely love the simplicity and the artwork that you so kindly shown us! Again thank you for your video...Many blessings to you and your's during this Easter season....Rus from Bucks County Pennsylvania. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your kind words! Those churches are in Eureka Springs, AR. It’s a beautiful area! I hope you have a blessed Easter too!
How very nice
thank you
This is so beautiful. Thank you so much ❤
I have the digital version of the David Bellamy book. The paintings in the front are engrossing; I love to look at the details in them. I much prefer digital print replicas of watercolour books. The paintings are more absorbing and interesting in the digital versions.
🌸🌸🌸😊
Hy is it than wrapped in AGallo?
Because I built my travel palette starting with a small A. Gallo palette, adding additional colors 🙂
What a good idea. I think I’ll try it. You’re painting beautiful.
Dreamy!
beautiful dog
Lovely video. I LOVE my Roman Szmal paints even more than most of my Daniel Smith ones now. The RS ones have so much more personality and inspire me more.
I just came across your videos. They are so beautiful and relaxing. I enjoy watching you walk with your dog. I love the landscape.
Beautiful selection!
Nice palette, we can feel the pleasure your about to get using it !The traveler’s notebook system is great : if you don’t like the paper of the watercolour insert, you can just fold a piece of whatever paper you like and put it inside.
Just found you and subscribed - I’ve never used this range of paints but so many artists seem to love them. Lovely palette 🙏💜
I'm new to your channel. And when I was watching the 1st few minutes of your video, I said, Is this an art channel? It looks like Hollywood film. Quality is impeccable, and it brings so much joy to watch. I'm also an art content creator, and I'm glad to have found your channel. New subscriber here. 😊
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m fairly new to the videography world, but I love trying to improve my cinematography! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the video, and welcome to the channel!
Good morning! Just subscribed. Great video, beautiful colors, fabulous dog!❤
I adore your videos. Thank you for spreading so much peace and beauty.
Just beautiful thank u for sharing ❤
I recognized the Jacksons box with noodles in it. Jacksons always is so careful with packaging. I just purchased the set of schminke earth colors. Very interesting. I haven’t tried the ones you mentioned, i will add a few with my next jacksons order.
Oh wow, it's so nice to see someone else making a Zelda illustrated journal! I haven't seen anyone else do this before and was thinking I was the only one nerdy enough to do this. I've been keeping a journal as if I am living and exploring Hyrule myself, sketching and painting the landscapes with watercolors, keeping track of notable places and mapping out my journey and the people I run into. It really helps you delve into the world so much more. Have you played Tears of the Kingdom yet? 😁
Oh I love that you’re making one too!! It such a fun companion to the game, and I only wish I had more time to fill in the journal! I have not played Tears of the Kingdom yet, but I DEFINITELY will. I’ve heard so many good things about it!
@@elfshinecottage It's even more amazing than BOTW. I just sit there sometimes and watch an entire day go by in game, watching the sun move across the sky and listening to the wind move through the trees. ❤
I always love a good paint palette video! Just found your channel today and am so glad I did! From one artist to another, I can't wait to see more of your work! ❤🌲
Thank you so much!!
