    I don’t know how I missed this one Ellen, but it did come up on my feed today. I’m so grateful for this method. I love your loose style and I’ll try standing up. Have a few times, but it still feels weird. My friend Lynne calls the center of orchids their angels if you look close, they do look like angels.

    i watched part of this video when you posted it, but it seemed too hard for my skills. Now, two years later, i am so comfortable doing this orchid that it was kind of funny. (I do have a warped sense of humor) All of your other videos have taught me so much. Thank you. you are appreciated by many.

    This painting is just stunning!! I have grown these orchids & have a couple at the moment in tiny bud. I never dreamt that you could get the result that you did in this tutorial, without spending weeks in painting it 😮. You make it look so very easy & I know that without a lot of experience one could never make it look so easy, loose & realistic at the same time. This is just breathtaking to me & will watch this tutorial over & over again, but am sure however many times I try, mine will never end up like yours 😂😂😥. Can’t get enough of your tutorials to watch Ellen 😊. Cheers 😊❤️💕🥰😘😍
