    From the bottom of my heart I say thank you for having the courage to do your UA-cam. I have struggled with depression for nearly two decades now, I have a wonderful family and am thankful I am still here. Crafting is my go to place for respite from the world around me. The fact that you are doing your channel is a positive thing and knowing you are making many people happy doing it should bring a sprinkle of joy to you. Every day is a day beyond the last...there is great wisdom in the saying..smile and the world smiles too. Xx

      Cazzie, I echo your sentiment here as I too have struggled with depression for most of my life. And my studio is my safe haven. Some of my best works have come from unexpected days of sadness which helps me bounce right back. I can look back and say"Wow, that day turned into this work of art which found me in line at the Bank". Our biggest blessing is having amazing family around us. Keep crafting my friend. And yes, keep smiling.
      Donna, in California.

      Recently I've learned a little more about Emma. Maybe she does struggle with depression a bit.
      I became depressed after I got sick. I'm so sick of being sick. Sickness causes stress.
      But I just don't like talking about it. So at times I make light of it. Maybe I shouldn't.
      ~~~
      I think, like many of Emma's followers, that she is good person, strong and very talented.
      I'm thankful for the videos she shares with us.
      Also I'd just like to say thankyou to you for your comment.
      Blessings 💖

    Your art and words are fruitful and inspiring. I am recovering from a severe brain injury and watch your videos to give me ideas on how to paint florals. Then I make cards and send them to others who need a little lift. It heals my brain and hopefully is a blessing to others. Your honesty is like a salve....keep going .... baby steps!

You are the first artist I started watching when I was gong through chemo and told to get a hobby, you helped me so much I hope my prayers will help you.

    Beautiful! Loose florals are often underestimated , they require more skill than I think others may assume. I usually tend to paint land scapes and botanicals, but when I'm in the mood to watch paint move and benefit from the therapeutic quality of color, this is where I go!
    And BTW, I know what you mean about not feeling so great. I'm so happy and grateful that you were able to get a video out. Your videos bring me and many others happiness. I just wanted to say that.

Im not at all an artist but am learning and your instruction is perfect!!! Thank you so much. ☺️

    If your area is as gray looking and sunless as Detroit, it is no wonder you are feeling down. Also, you are a stay-at- home mom with a little person who, while you love him to pieces, doesn't provide a whole lot of intellectual stimulation. And you cannot gather with other adults now because of lockdown. You are doing a great job with your channel and I appreciate your talent and videos.

    Hi Emma, this could possibly be my favourite painting, I love the deep, bright colours, it certainly made me feel better just watching you do this. I like it both ways, with or without the markings. I’ve not use my craft amp bamboo brushes yet, I’m having a no motivation to paint period, but I think you may have made me want to get going and try to do this😀 I have so many ‘favourite flowers,, especially daffodils, but these are omens are way up there as well xx
    Hope you are feeling better soon, look after yourself and if you need a break, take one, we have lots of videos to go back to watch xx we will still be here when you return xx

    First of all, love the finished watercolor. The lines were the perfect touches. Second, love the fact you have lace wrapped around your water jar. It adds your personality to it. Like I use a 1950’s green ashtray to rest my brushes on while painting. The ashtray is deep enough to hold water on each side of the brush (cigarette) holders. May try that instead of using small canning jars. Thanks Emma for a great teaching video. . . Yes it was. 💖☃️💖.
    P.S. I’m in the process of working with my Foster Golden Retriever to not bark at every person and/or animal that walks by the picture window of my house. 🦮♥️

    Emma.I love these! They are perfect.! I wouldn't change a thing about them. I live in the U.S in Virginia and I am with you on how the weather affects my mood. We have just gotten over an ice storm, now we are getting an even bigger one tomorrow! Hope you will feel better soon! Keep painting!!!

    Anemones are one of my favorite flowers I am getting ready to plant them in pots now

    Hi Emma, beautiful painting. I believe that the lines you added on the petals suggested definition perfectly. Your painting tutorials always put joy in my day. I struggle to get started but when I do ☺️

    Thanks Emma, even though you’re “not feeling it”, you lift us all by forging onward. Your efforts are greatly appreciated..
