    I am a beginner to watercolor . Always thought that the flowers had to be perfect in shape. This abstract was good to learn that you don't have to be perfect when painting.

    I do Ellen! Perfectionism has always crippled me to an extent. I was told I have perfectionism issues many yrs ago. I'm my early 30s, I just turned 59. It's taken me this long to actually figure out what it means. I just could not relate to it, until it slapped me in the face. Lol!
    Thanks for this exercise❤

    I ❤️ your NO NONSENSE approach to painting! For me personally, this has to be the BEST tutorial I have ever watched. Of my three years of painting, I can COPY almost anyone's tutorials...but my own work? NOT... haven't found my style.... When I try to approach an empty canvas or paper...I just sit there... nothing happens or comes to mind... 😭I seem to be STUCK in the "perfection" thing... thanks 🙏 tons for this video 👍💯

      Hi Vicki, can I join you, please? I've been at it for four years and, like you, can follow most tutorials with success, but when faced with doing something original, I barely know where to begin, and when I do, it looks horrid!!! However, one thing I've noticed recently is, I am choosing tutorials with very similar painting styles, similar colours, similar contrast etc. so maybe that IS my style? I don't know. I do believe we will eventually find our own personal style as long as we don't give up.

    You made this just for me!!! 😂 Love your tutorials Ellen and your encouraging chat. I’m another timid painter and I can’t wait to try this - Impressionism is my favourite style in art so perhaps I can achieve a little myself! Many thanks for a great share 🙏🏻👏💕👏

    Beautiful! You know, I liked it before the last loosening but I really liked it after. Thanks for this. I remain stuck in detail and perfectionism and this is great to expand my play.

    Thank you Ellen! I wanted to start watercolor painting but “I was in my head” until I watched you & your loose style made me less intimidated & I love it! I started with wildflowers & moving on as my confidence builds👍

  • @ellenna4426
    @ellenna4426 Рік тому +2

    Yes! I’m very hard on myself, especially when I don’t think it looks perfect to send to someone. I love your teaching style. I recently had back surgery, so I’m not able to paint right now, but I’m binge watching your videos so I’m ready to try a bunch of new painting when I can paint again. Thanks so much!

    I would never have thought about going in afterwards to add plain water to create the abstract. I thought you might have wet the paper first. I really like the abstract! Great video. Hope you feel better soon. This is one of the heavy allergy times for me.

      And sip pear juice for sore throat! Licorice tea, particularly when combined with peppermint/spearmint tea, helps loosen congestion and stops reflex cough that we found so disruptive at night. Worked for us anyhow.
