    Lindsay loved it and was very positive in her review but there were a some negative commenters. Im not sure why people feel it so necessary to actually comment the negative stuff?! As I commented on her video- there has to be soooo much work involved in curating everything that goes into this advent calendar- I can’t imagine how much work! I thought you did a great job, and it all goes together so nicely! The tutorials make this a great value and sketches! I would love to receive this!

    Emma, I found you less than a year ago when I was first getting started with watercolor. I have learned so much from you and I’m amazed at the amount of free tutorial content you provide for us here. I purchased the advent calendar, and while it was pricey, I know you put a ton of work and effort into it. The box designs are so cute, and the tutorials are awesome, along with the free tutorials you are already sharing here each day. I know you put your heart into the box and had the best of intentions. I’m looking forward to the rest of the experience.

    I opened my first box today and did the first tutorial . It was great fun. I loved it. I saw you do this on Instagram yesterday, I will give it a try tomorrow with day two's box. The sketch book is ace! I hope you manage to get more supplies of it.

    I just wanted to say that I follow both yours and Lindsay’s channels and the only reason I haven’t bought your gorgeous advent calendar is because the cost of living just doesn’t allow it right now. It is super charming and so beautifully packaged. It would be a lovely experience to open a box each day. It is an absolutely gorgeous advent calendar. I thoroughly enjoyed the unboxing on The Frugal Crafter and appreciated I could enjoy it vicariously! 😆❤️ I will be watching yours too!

    I watched Lindsay unpack your boxes. I had already purchased on the very very first day that it was offered. I was not upset at all that there was no paint. I thought the boxes were gorgeous. I thought the inclusion in each box was wonderful. I haven’t really started it yet Because it’s a very busy time but I just am so happy with it. Please don’t be upset. I don’t know why people say the things that they do. But I guess that’s human nature that some people are just gonna complain no matter what you do. Emma we love you. I’m so pleased to have the box. I’m saving mine for when my grandchildren cometo visit over the holidays. They’re all interested in art and I thought we could do some things together.

    I watched thefrugalcrafter unboxing and thought she did a great job. I also read all the comments and thought some of them were unnecessarily unkind. You obviously put a tonne of effort into this! Great job Emma! You should be proud. While there are lots of free tutorials available it doesn’t mean the tutorials that are part of the calendar aren't valuable. My only suggestion re:paint is maybe include 2 pans - a red and a green (maybe a perylene green as it never seems to come in sets so people might not have it and it'd be a good shade for xmas). And i love that shade! Just a thought. You're great! Try not to dwell on the negative you bring so much positive!

    I tried this about four times yesterday with varying results. One thing I found helpful was drawing my string and little light sockets with a waterproof Micron pen before laying down the initial background wash. I was having a very difficult time seeing my pencil guidelines under the dark background and using the pen first was much easier for me.

    I'm obviously late to the party here (just having seen a post for something like day 4 so I followed the bread crumbs back and did this along with you); I'm very impressed at how this all came together! My efforts are not for public viewing at this point, maybe after several practice shots however. In doing three so far (it helps to be able to pause the video and even go back!) I've learned a lot about what NOT to do, and some of what works better. I also live in a very dry climate and can't really see when my page is evenly wet or not. So lots to learn, but what a cute treat, and maybe I'll get some cards out of it! Thank you for doing these--I'm planning to watch all of them and catch up! ❤️

    Thank you Emma for this lovely video. I am a little late to the party and alas did not buy the box. I have noticed that the company selling it is in the UK too. So I know for your future products. It looked amazing and I was thrilled by the contents when I watched Lindsay the frugal crafter opening the advent box. So pretty and re usable. I am sorry you have received negativity. Forget that as best you can and look at all the subscribers that follow you.
    Yes, tubes of decent paint may push such a box past peoples budget. Maybe in the future you could advise people what colour paints are required and the way they can source their own depending on their budget before they need to use them for day 1. I have joined your Patreon site to show my appreciation of your videos which I have watched over the years on utube. So thank you and take care.

I know maybe you can get the mini watercolor tubes for the next calendar?? Of course you could put just enough paint for each Tutorials on a dot??? I don't know? In the mini palette you could put enough watercolor paint in each tiny section?? You could just two good things then the rest like the brushes and pins. Just some ideas. ❤Have a great night.
