    One more comment… really liked that you had the do’s and don’t side by side. Great teaching technique for me anyway !

  • @Beanie59
    @Beanie59 Před 2 lety +8

    Thankyou Emma, I recognise my own attempts of foliage in your donts side, so thankyou for some simple helpful tips. I need to ignore the little voice in my brain telling me how a leaf should look which stiffens up my painting. I am enjoying this series very much, though you seem to have more problems allowing yourself to paint a wrong leaf as even your donts look better than my dos!

  • @monashamdasani3728
    @monashamdasani3728 Před 2 lety +17

    Love your do’s & don’t series! 💕So valuable and yet simple to understand with your easy way of explaining and demos! The key is to try it out after viewing 😅 BTW my Emma Lefebvre brushes have arrived in Japan and on the way to my 🏡, I’m counting the hours! So excited😊 Thank you Emma stay awesome 🌈

    Dos and donts are very helpful. While I know some of this, seeing the tips/techniques and differences side by side and in one video helps to solidify the info in my brain. Watched dos and donts on florals yesterday … I definitely need to work on the right amount of white space in my work. Videos like this really help me to improve my art. Thank you! (I love that you struggle to make something “bad”. 😉). Keep up the good work. We really appreciate it! ❤️

  • @joykruczay
    @joykruczay Před rokem +1

    good advice, and for sure it looks better this way.
    But sometimes, mother nature makes leaves on branches very symmetric, very straight... (palm tree, etc.)
    Your videos are so instructive... I do watercolor for years, but I still learn from you!!!

    Could it be my brush isn't sturdy enough?
