I am from Sri Lanka
I am so happy and grateful to learn from a Top notch teacher who is living miles and miles away.
I am a teacher of technology and have taught all ages. You are exceptional in your ability to explain from all standpoints. When I did tRaining in large classes there were all levels and that is your strength-your great ability to “break it down” to all levels. Thank you . I have painted in many mediums, but watercolor is my nemesis. Thank you for breaking it down.
I also am a retired trainer/teacher! You do an excellent job of explaining & encouraging us!
I love your comment about watercolor being your nemesis!!!!! 🙏🏽.
It makes me think about why I keep trying to do it.
Thank you for you videos! You are the first artist that I have watched that has taught how to use cheap paper! I was getting so frustrated with the blobs that I was about to quit trying. I was gifted a pad of Arches for Christmas but don’t want to mess it up until I get what I’m doing wrong. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you for actually showing the difference between different papers! I am a retired teacher and Emma you are gifted nit just at painting but at communicating your art! Thank you! All my life I’ve wanted to paint but only since following you do I think there’s hope after all😂❤
Soft watercolor florals are my favorites, and I have really been struggling with painting them. This video was JUST what I needed! Thank you so much. I love your work and your teaching style.
Love that we can hear your little one. He misses momma. Glad dad takes care things while you're working and helping the rest of us!
Haha, just throwing a tantrum as usual
This was exactly what I've been needing. Especially very light washes and water control. Thank you.
I love your videos and appreciate all you do and share with your audience! Your paintings are so lovely and your tutorials SO helpful. I am a patron on your site, but do not take advantage as I should of all you offer, primarily because I'm not sure how to, but am so pleased to be a small part of your art process! I'm very much a beginner in watercolor, although I have been exploring watercolor for years ~ you, Shayda Campbell and CreationsCeeCee were the first tutorials I began watching ~ I think as far back as the early 2000's. I currently tend to paint small pieces and cards, but mostly I just 'play.' I'm much better at playing the piano,, but I love trying to improve my watercolor skills. I've not posted before because my computer or settings would not allow me to do so ... but something has changed and now I am able to post! My best to you, your art and your growing family!
You teach so so well and I wanted to Thank you. After listening to your videos last night so much more made sense and I just wanted to Thank you.
This was SO HELPFUL. I am a beginner and have not invested in good paper. Appreciate your instruction for those of us with cheap paper. It made a world of difference. All along I have had too much water on my paper. Drying off the brush and moving the color around really helps. I invested in your brushes, so now I need to move on to better paper. Thank you!!!
Love this super light blend nice . Dar
I loved this tutorial. Never thought i could do florals that i like!
This was from an early 2022 tutorial.
@@pennydubin8547It IS a 2022 tutorial, it even says "a year ago"
Emma, I have been practicing petals and leaves with your beginner leaf and petals tutorials, so this is the perfect next step for me. Thank you!
Great tutorial! I get those pools all the time and never knew what to do: THANK YOU EMMA.😊
So beautiful! Also just wanted to mention that you are a wonderful mother and how much we appreciate you sharing your time and talent with us. You’re an inspiring artist. 😊
I found you on Pinterest!! YOU'RE A GEM!! Great Teacher, great skills!! Thank you for showing how to create the SOFT WATERCOLOUR Florals!! Yours are drop dead gorgeous! I'm used to dabble in acrylic painting & wanted to try my hand at Watercolors! You actually take the time to explain why things happen & how to fix them! I LOVE WATCHING YOU!! Thank you so MUCH!!!
Thank you so much, Emma, for always helping us with watercolour! You are such an amazing teacher and have really helped me. You’re fabulous! ❤
Absolutely stunning soft watercolor composition, Emma!!
This is so soft and beautiful Emma!!! Would sure love to see more like this. I can't wait to try it when I get everything moved back into our house again. Thanks so much for an excellent tutorial!!! 💕
There are some great tips, tricks and teachings here. Thank you! I've been frustrated with practicing on cheaper paper. And I learned a few reasons why certain things weren't working and how to correct them :) I'm having pretty good results with high quality paper but I think this will help me create even better results. Thank you again!
As I was watching this video my brushes arrived!!! They are absolutely beautiful, and the round brushes are so pointed! The packaging is so luxurious! Thank you Emma!
Beautiful, Emma. I have been using cheaper wc paper and just got some Arches cotton paper and have been struggling because I'm not used to it yet, but wow, what a difference! The colors even look nicer on the better paper. Thanks so much 😄
Wow! How lovely! Thank you for sharing Emma! I started with Canson 140 cold press but got frustrated, so I finally started using some of the Strathmore papers and then bought some 100% Cotton Bee paper which really made a difference. So far I'm really liking the Bee paper, but I'll try to work on the Canson that I have left with the tips you gave us. One day I'll get brave and open those Arches pads I treated myself to. Love watching your vids!
Strathmore has a 100% cotton paper that I like as well as Bee. I like them for different reasons, but equally. The Strathmore paper is also a lot less expensive than Bee, which I love. Lol.
If you prime your pulp paper from Canson, it works wonders. Try this with a 5x7 piece to start. Just run the paper under the faucet. Do not soak it too much. Shake off the excess and pat with a paper towel. You could also spray each side and spread with a large brush. Now lay it flat on your table or surface. This will also keep your paper from buckling. Now start painting Emma’s pretty flowers. This also makes the colors pop better. The best way to work with pulp paper is to prime those fibers first. Hope it work as well for you as it does for me!
@@laurapuchalski7402 does it have to dry before painting?
Really appreciate your instruction, Emma! So helpful and enables beginners like me to create something beautiful.
I like learning from you. I can tell you are a teacher. You make everything so clear.
Emma is so helpful this lessons. Please keep doing this series
You have helped me so much along my watercolor journey. Thank you so very much. Wishing you and your family much joy with your upcoming new arrival.
I love your videos and how down to earth you are! You are the reason I even started watercolor! We all support you and forget those negative vibes... You are surrounded by love and light! Good. luck with new baby! I know it is not fun those last few weeks!
Emma you knocked it out of the park again. Great info, tutorial and video.
Thank you so much for sharing all this knowledge with us
Emma, ur tutorials r so helpful. You explain in a way it’s easy to understand. Thank u for that. The light colors in the flowers & leaves r beautiful & truly elegant!! Thanks for sharing ur talents w/ us.
Love these videos where you compare there painting to what you've done as far as techniques and improvement this is a great way to beginners to learn which I am a beginner thank you for doing these and I hope you do many many more
Thank you, so many amazing tips. Only have cheap watercolour paper atm, I’m excited to start trying botanicals but was struggling with layering.
Thank you 🌞
So beautiful! I can’t wait to try this! Thank you Emma!
Loved doing this and learning more about water control. Thank you!
Thank you for making a video that slowly describes and shows us well how to have water control, color bleeds and blends. Usually I can’t keep up and the instructor is way ahead and I quit for awhile. I think I’ll stick with this now.
Emma! Thanks for another useful video! As a beginner, we love to know more on how to “rescue” the just drawing instantly instead of handle precisely at once! Appreciate to have more relevant topics on Water Control!
Thank you for the details. This helps tremendously. I’m learning to love watercolor and this lesson is just what I wanted. So helpful.
Hi., I have been watching your videos for a few days now and I think is amazing the way you explain everything with so many details. I’m learning a lot from your videos. Thank you so much!
Thanks for all your time you or really helping.❤
This was a perfect tutorial. I loved it.
Please do more like this🌺🌿🌺
One thing I learned is that I'm using too much water. Thank you so much for teaching the proper method of color blending so I can hopefully achieve the beautiful softness I so love in your florals. Practice. Practice. Practice!
Thank you so so much
I bought my love back for painting
Just brilliant Emma. I have struggled for ages with my florals and you have totally fixed it for me! I was convinced it was my brush pressure that was wrong 😑. Thanks so much for the enlightenment 👏😁
Wow, thank you, will have to practice, looking forward to your next session.
Soo helpful! Thank you!! I watch your videos often!
Thank you. This is very helpful. I love your soft loose florals. Just gorgeous! 😍
