    I am not a very confident artist but you break the flower subject into understandable chunks that I feel are achievable. Can’t wait to give it a go. Looks deceptively simple.

    What a great tutorial with some great instructional content. Step by step details that are simple to follow for beginners as well as reaffirming things learned long the way for more seasoned artists. Some rules apply forever and when you learn early on about shadows and highlights you’re set to build upon those principals or life. I appreciate you “showing” s step by step using repitió. Thank our for being an awesome demonstrator and teacher! I’m encouraged!

The way you explain the colours, brush you use (just one!!!!) the explanation of shading and your easy to understand. Thank you for getting me through the last 4 years and I look forward to many more with you ❤ especially now your floral Fridays have appeared on my feed instead of having to search.

    Thanks, this was very helpful. I struggle with figuring out where (logically) to put the shading and adding details to add dimension or textures (especially when I don't have a reference photo or subject to observe but am just painting from imagination). Would really like to understand this better. More like this please!

    Hi Ellen this was such an excellent demonstration or tutorial I really learned a lot from I actually the started working on it right after I watched the video and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out I'm gonna keep practicing kind of having problems drawing the flower so naturally or or relaxed like you make it look just The pencil line drawing looks so relax I'm sure you've probably drawn a lot more flowers that I have it yeah you're just you're drawing alone looks very realistic and that helps to envision what the color is going to look like I think I don't know if I'm explaining thanks I really appreciated this particular demonstration take care

    I had a terrible time with this. I never like to be critical, so it must be me. I have never tried dint the stamen and center and paint the flower later. I had a horrible mess, and after trying so hard quit and tossed it. It wasn't salvageable. Your a great artist but never saw it don't this way. Your very good at not rushing the tutorial. I'm sure many will get it and love the outcome. I don't give up, so when I feel better, I'll try again. I have Lupus and my hands hurt 😊😊
    I loved watching you complete the pink flower that I made a mess of. My drawings were fine so maybe I'm better at sketching than painting. 🤣

    love this.I look @ my variegated roses. Some r very light inside and just dark around the edges. I need to play with that. How the edges r just tipped with a beautiful red and the centers r either yellow or white. . A challenge for me. The the yellow rose is red on the inside. Flowers r so interesting. This really will make me look @ flowers differently. Thank u so much

But isn't that how things are? Ha but thanks for giving me ways on to provide details to my super simple flowers but I'm still happy with them lol. My biggest issue with painting especially watercolor is waiting for the paint to dry! I juat cant get past it and always "test" it and say ahh ita good enough and continueHave a great day

    Enjoyed watching your process. I’m trying to get ok with painting underglazes on clay tiles in a watercolour effect and while I’ve some advantage over paper that pencil drawings burn off in firing, my main problem is that underglaze pigments fire too strong in their output. It’s been a challenge to keep a light…light…light touch! Thanks for making this video.

  • @1blondidea

    Ellen, this video is SOOO helpful!!
    Question: How do I create the realistic color of the petals of a little flower in the daffodil family, known here in Georgia as "Bread and Butter Daffodils". I brought one in from the yard, to draw/paint it last night. It's much smaller than the regular yellow daffodil. The center is a delicate yellow, with a tiny bit of spring green towards the base of the center.
    It's the petals that are my problem!!!
    They're this horribly pale yellowish white. My eye sees maybe even a hint of a grayish undertone in the petal color.
    Last night I played around, trying to mix/get the petal color right.
    Tried using a tad of my WN Professional watercolor-Paynes Grey in my mix. THAT PG is a "blueish grey", SOOO when I added a tap of it to my watered down Hansa Yellow Light, I got a very pale light green!!!
    I don't know HOW to paint this little "Bread & Butter" daffodil!
    Do you have any ideas?? Many thanks for all your teaching!
