I'm a beginner water color artist 😊. I looked at several videos before I chose you as my water color teacher. Thanks for the instructions.

[@tamraoscroft553]

Thanks for your simple straightforward instructions with no distracting music. Your flowers turned out great and I can't wait to try them out!

[@bbknits2074]

I’m so happy I found your channel , the flowers are so delicate ❤ I’m just learning to draw and paint at age 70 and am very drawn to whimsical art so far. On seeing this video I’m going to give this a go also . Have subscribed and hopefully I will learn a lot more from you 👏🏻👏🏻

[@RadishandRoux]

Flowers have really intimidated me through the past few years with my watercolor journey, but this video really was an eye-opener, and I will be practicing flowers much more often! Thank you for this video, and I hope/would love to see more of these!

[@marcellaalloway487]

I'm so happy I found you Emma you're so awesome. Because of your teaching style I'm no longer scared to paint as a beginner it can be intimidating lol

[@pattyh674]

Your instructions help me improve a lot. Thank you very much!

[@songbanana8]

You make it look so easy. It was hard for beginners still but I hope someday to get better

[@ruth112]

You said easy so I thought "hmm OK. I'll give it a go". They came out looking like flowers 🤔 but I wouldn't want to land in a field of them 😅😅 Yours are perfect. I won't give up. One day I'll paint pretty flowers like yours 😊

[@mindyborsato9824]

This is by far the best tutorial for beginners!!!! Thank you Emma

[@babasheeny3634]

Thank you Emma.........LOVE the pedal “fold” look.

[@KIMHALLIDAY8]

Just bought my first set of watercolors (in my 60s) and tried your excellent tutorial May 1st, 2024. My mom is turning 86 this month, so I’m hoping to text her a photo of a little watercolor card every day this month. Thanks for your excellent tutorials!

[@caleysmith5523]

I’ve been an acrylic artist for a few years now and just decided to try watercolor. I’m so glad I found your channel. All the drills and tutorials are so helpful! Thank you!! ❤

[@susosu6070]

I’m a beginner. I love lavender. I tried your technique last night. Love it! Love it! Love it! ❤❤❤ Thank you so much 🙏🏻😘

[@cathismith2624]

I'm so happy that this just came through ! I can't use my left arm or hand at the moment, so I need something to challenge me - I'm a total beginner 🤔😊

[@patriciadickerson6628]

I love watching you paint flowers!

[@marqitvalyoue9501]

I over think the process. This looks so simple and fun. I have to just relax.

[@melissaadams140]

Thank you for this tutorial! I have been wanting to learn to paint some simple flowers and this was perfect! I hope you do more of these.😊

[@cilene2805]

I loved to paint these flowers with you. Your step by step method is very helpful. Thanks, Emma.

[@Mieke256]

I used my kids water colors and brushes and except for the daisies (too dark!) it turned out great. I think I might have a new hobby 😊 thank you for the great instructions!

[@donnascreativespace]

I've just re-found your channel, I forgot how much I used to love watching and painting along with you! Thank you for this lovely lesson.
