Love your motivation for the kings series. Good men are so important.

Great painting! For the straight lines: Sometimes it helps to turn the canvas in a position where the hand can work better 😊

Elli do you have a video on how you discovered your style? Or would you pls consider creating one?

I’d love to hear the story.

To me, your style is so bold and captivating. I particularly love these close-ups where so much is communicated through the subject’s eyes and the nearness is intimate and vulnerable… and then you also manage to include such fun Easter eggs in the symbols and emotion in the brushstrokes. Truly a feast for the eyes 🤩

Is this one sold yet? Or will there be prints?

Use strong mixture of Murphys Oil Soap to soak your stencils for a while. Just have it there in a rectangular plastic container and drop your stencils in when done with them. After the paint lose s up move it to a bin with clean water. Works a dream. Also works for your brayer and paintbrushes — at least for acrylics. I use the. Golden Crash system so I am not putting acrylic down the drain. Love these sessions! Thank you!

Thank you , I have never used oils. Eeeek! Feels really scary! ☹️

I log this session and really loved watching when you brought in all that beautiful sparkle. I’m just wondering I’d you had a video or maybe clips from the video where you very first started this amazing portrait. I would really like to see that because it would bring all the parts together. Hugs.

Elli, this is looking pretty stunning, I haven't been able to catch the lives lately, I've kept missing them which is a bummer, but enjoyed watching it. 🤗❣

@michellegierke410 1 month ago

I love watching you paint and I learn ALot tho I wish you would tell us exactly what colors you are using and mixing when you paint. Because I have trouble mixing paint and knowing what colors to use

Is there a Part 1, where the face is painted first?

@naimanamaste 2 weeks ago

I love the eyes and lips, the bee, but not the nose which I think looks too red

@michellegierke410 1 month ago

I would love to see this when it's completely done! I was wondering is all your artwork and dimetrias (I know I didn't spell that right) all on the milan website or do you each have your own websites? If so what are they?

@antheaduplessis4410 1 month ago

I do get confuse with painting from back to front. Sometimes I can figure out what colour is at the back and moving forward.

Hola, está hermoso el retrato, los sigo mucho, y realmente me han cambiando la forma de mirar el arte.
Porfa me dicen cuál es el formato que más pintan, y cuál se vende más?

After hearing the word "so" fifty plus times I downloaded the video and use Ai to eliminate the word "so" from the video. The demo/lesson was wonderful and very informative after that. Thanks
