    Emma, I never get bored watching your tutorials. I really like the fact your videos are in real time and not sped up. I learn better by watching the entire process in real time. I'm going to try this today myself! 😊💖

  • @lyndaculp5060
    @lyndaculp5060 4 года назад +2

    This is so NOT boring! You’re a good teacher and I love that you have “ disasters” when you’re learning something new......I’m glad I’m not the only one who makes disasters!!

  • @luisak68

    Emma you are a brilliant artist. Your little birds came out so adorably fantastic. I can just see them on greeting cards.
    Hearing your son arguing with your husband was adorable. It reminded me of my granddaughters first time she put a sentence together,. We'd left her in the lounge room one evening aftet dinner. Id popped into the kitchen to start clearing after dinner. Then I hear 'Gramma!' She called out , I answered 'yes sunnshine', (she was my sunshine since she was born four days after my father's passing.) She answers ' Im wet'.. we all rushed into the lounge room to see what she'd wet herself with, Probably her drink. Then Ive realised & told her 'omg Lily, you've just said your first sentence.' My curly haired princess, just gave me her usual big dimpled smile.. that child just knew how to put a smile on my face..
    Thank you for all you do. Blessing from Australia.

    @michelleharris4014 3 года назад +9

    I’m definitely going to give this a try. I struggle with layering colors as I tend to overwork it. I was really paying attention to how often you dab off on the paper towel and how little paint you were actually using. I’m learning so much from you and just wanted to say thank you. 🌺

  • @bagpipes978
    @bagpipes978 3 года назад +4

    I love your honesty and humbleness. This tutorial is great help, probably since you have just gone through learning to make these yourself, thus you remember to put in little steps that teachers often forget. I can't imagine why 1 person voted this down though!

    I think this might be the first video of yours that I've watched. I have to say, you are an excellent teacher! I love how you explain what you're doing, and ESPECIALLY how you do not say a person "should" or "have to" do this or that...you explain that you are doing different things because you **feel** it... That's what art should be about! 💗

  • @jeannies98
    @jeannies98 3 года назад +14

    I just started watercolors 3 months ago and I just painted this last night and am quite happy. It was very helpful to have you sketch it out beforehand. Do you have one with 3 cats? That would be SWEET!

    I love drawing or painting birds. I even went to a class to learn how to draw them only to find that they handed us stencils. I was like, “what?!’ Lol. The stencils were parts of the bird and we were told to keep tracing the outlines in order to get a feel for the subject. I hate to admit it...but it helped us once they taught us to draw the birds freehand.
