    November 2020. I watch your videos in the mornings and in the evenings. Even when I don't paint. I just watch them while drinking my coffee.

    I’m watching this in April 2020, during the “stay at home, shelter in place” Coronavirus mandates, and this is helping me more than anything else. These videos are the best thing I can be doing during this difficult time. I’ve started painting again and I’m serious that it’s helped me so very much. Thank you, Emma, you’re the greatest. 💖

    I'm 67 years old and have always loved to color. My biggest problem was always trying to figure out the highlights. Thanks to your video, I now understand the shadowing for making my stamped cards or just coloring comes to life. Thank you!

    This to is April 2020. I’ve enjoyed painting a little each day and learning from your videos. It’s extremely relaxing and I’ve been making cards for people to brighten there day and get some Happy Mail. Your little baby is precious. I miss seeing my Grand babies at this time. Thanks so much for sharing your talents. You’ve helped me learn so much. 🌺🎨😷

    Finally, someone using "normal" and regular watercolor materials! Thank you so much! I've been watching watercolor painting videos but I was never able to get the same results because the paper and the paints people use are difficult or expensive to get where I am... I see similarity btw your paints and paper! Just thank you!!

  • @heatherdoodlebug5254
    @heatherdoodlebug5254 5 лет назад +14

    Thankyou for all your tutorials! I'm a beginner and its so hard teaching yourself to create white spaces! I like the flowers you did, before "white spaces" and with "white spaces". It clearly shows the difference! I still seem to have trouble building layers of light washes cuz I like dark vibrant colors but hopefully with practice I'll figure it out. I love the way you teach and wanna say Thank you for doing what you do!!! Your work is beautiful and your tutorials are inspiring and help so much!!!

    Great, simple explanations and examples. I love the looseness of the hydrangea and want mine to look much more like yours (I try to draw each flower within the hydrangea separately - tedious and not as realistic). Thank you.

    This is the first time I've seen a tutorial of yours & I'm very glad I stumbled across you. You explain & show things in a very clear, yet very understandable way & I appreciate it, as watercolour is my favourite medium, but I know basically nothing about it. I'm going to start practicing & watch more of your video tutorials. Thsnks so much!

    I ran across your channel while searching for tutorials and the few I’ve watched have been so helpful! I made the hydrangea from this video and I’m quite happy with it. The leaves underneath, not so much. The round 12 I have seems too stiff and snappy to make a nice swoopy leaf. Thanks for the tips!

    I, too, am watching you during the "stay at home" time. It's April 11th and I wanted to learn how to paint flowers with watercolors. I've been watching your videos all week and learning a lot. I need a lot of practice but I wake up every morning looking forward to watching one of your videos and trying to paint the flowers myself. In fact, I've ordered some small notebooks to use for practice.
    Question: How much water is on your paper when you start painting? I must have missed that part. Are you painting wet on wet? Thanks for getting me through this difficult time!
