    So fun and such a great idea. We so enjoyed having you come visit. I've rewatched this now a couple of times because of the fun memories. Thanks again Emily and thanks for letting me tell the "Reese" story!

    Steve is the very first water colorist I followed. I loved his tutorials and then I spread my wings and followed many fine artists! They all have so many helpful tutorials.

    Just like many others have already said, you two are some of my fav artists and I’ve learned so much from both of you! Love the tree prompt painting results - and watching you both have such a ball with the challenge 😊 Enjoy painting at the Biltmore and all the lush trees of the south east (relative to Colorado anyway 😂)!!

    Great idea for a vid. I've been subscribed to both of your channels for some time. It was fun to listen to the banter. You both humbly played down your abilities, but you are both wonderful artists. Thanks to both of you for the effort you put into your channels.

  • @viviandibrell849
    @viviandibrell849 8 месяцев назад

    Great video! Maybe an idea from this would to make a list of adjectives as prompts for daily painting practice…to paint anything, not just trees. After I saw your tree, Emily, I thought of a man with a hatchet coming into the frame would be another way to paint this. But I loved your spooky shadow and your tree had such a wonderful feeling. And Steve’s sweet little tree with the big tree. reaching down was great. What a fun idea.

    Wow that’s a great idea for doing some painting of trees or any other subjects. It makes for great inspiration, building drawing & painting skills, use of colors for different expressions, moods, & feelings. I definitely love these past collaborations with you both! I am definitely enjoying it & now an Emily Olson subscriber. Thanks for sharing this wonderful fun video with us!

    So great to see two of my favorite artists go head on with their challenge and coming out winners, in my eyes! They are such great artists! Even if they drew a line it is great! And has some character to it! Thanks to you both, Steve and Emily! It was a feast to our eyes!

    @maryhazlett Год назад +3

    Emily, to me the shadow looks like a snake - which would render ME terrified! Also, the first thing I thought of when your adjective was terrified was The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy petrified in the forest.

  • @SharonCullenArt
    @SharonCullenArt Год назад +3

    Trees would be terrified of woodpeckers, or beetles, or ants too. Very cool trees. Loved it.

    I don't even get any art done atm because I'm cycling through one of my other hobbies (aquariums, tropical freshwater fish) but I can feel myself getting re-hyped for illustrations again.
    I love this exercise and the way you filmed it! ❤

    @lisashultis7631 Год назад +2

    I love these both! So much more than I could ever do. That said, I absolutely LOVE Steve's idea and rendering of his petite tree painting. This would be great matted and framed on a wall. So awesome! That is why you are the master.❤

    • @EmilyOlsonArt
      @EmilyOlsonArt  Год назад

      I agree-Steve knocked it outta the park!

  • @brianrogersart
    @brianrogersart Год назад +2

    Painting brings out the best in both of you. It’s a tie for me though, I would pay for either painting. Emily, I immediately saw a snake crawling up the front of your tree and thought that is what the tree is terrified of. The facial expression on your tree was 🤌🏻.

    • @EmilyOlsonArt
      @EmilyOlsonArt  Год назад +2

      Thank you, Brian! It sure was a fun game!

    @sreihart Год назад +4

    That was SO much fun, even for me as a viewer! Great idea Emily, and I think this was a draw. Both of you did an excellent job. I would have had that "fear of the blank canvas" hit me from the get-go. I also enjoyed getting some of the background on Reese. BTW, I live in Pennsylvania, and have been to Hershey many times. Great place!

    @annevickers3307 Год назад +4

    That was a blast! Double the fun. Emily’s tree was the most awesome terrified, yet elegant and sexy tree. What a great combination. Steve’s tree gave me inspiration. I would call it Hope. It gave me an idea for a painting. I cannot thank you both enough! ❤️🤗

  • @cindyp.9030
    @cindyp.9030 Год назад +2

    What a great video, I really enjoyed watching the interaction going on between the two of you. I think your tree sees a lumberjack coming its way with a huge axe or saw. What fun.

  • @carmenbauer8822
    @carmenbauer8822 Год назад +2

    I don't think I have laughed so much watching a watercolor video. Both of you made great expressions of your adjectives as well as made for a very enjoyable, spontaneous event! And let's not forget Rita - that Kool-Aid comment couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you all!

    I really like the pose of both the trees in the paintings. Like Steve said, the background in your painting is very well painted. I like how your tree, despite having a face, still looks like a tree. Thank you for collaborating and making this video 😊.

    Hullo Steve n Emily, I throughly enjoyed watching your collaboration, you played off one another and created imagery that I believe you would not have captured on your own!

    Wow, two of my long time favorite artists on Utube! How much better does it get? Well, you toss in a tad of Radiant, resourceful Rita and a tidbit of Rickety, roguish Reese and there you have a Rockin' recipe for two Remarkable renditions of their assigned adjectives. Voila!! Pure magic from my two favorite artists (patron of Emily). 🥰🥰🙏🙏

    @ThatPaintingLass Год назад +1

    I have never had so much fun not being able to watch what people are painting. I have to admit when I realized the camera wasn’t going to show what you two were actually painting, I was a little disappointing because it’s so cool watching paintings develop and seeing how they came to life. That being said the conversation was good and the reveal was absolutely amazing. I had no idea what you two were going to put on that page and I was absolutely floored to see the outcomes. they are both beautiful paintings and they both capture your adjectives so well. You both did such great work.

    • @EmilyOlsonArt
