1:45. Watching your tutorials has allowed me in less than 3 months to paint 2 florals that are now framed and proudly hanging in my living room. I have never tried watercolor before but loved the watercolor pictures decorating my home. I am 83 years of age and having the time of my life with watercolor painting. It is very uplifting to see my progress from watching your tutorials. I cannot thank you enough!
Is it really necessary to rudely comment on another person’s allergy or sinus issue? Why, in today’s society must people be so unkind? Whatever happened to “if you have nothing kind to say, say nothing at all?” This gal is very talented, and is kind enough to share this talent with everyone for FREE, mind you. I, for one, appreciate it..
During this Covid 19 lockdown and being high risk due to having COPD,I watched this because for years I have wanted to use waterpaint,so at 63 I have just bought paint, brushes etc,thank you so much for giving me inspiration to give it a go..... keep safe everyone love from Scotland 💙🏴🌈
@@asiula8075 many thanks what about you? Are you a beginner or already an artist? Some of my creations are "different" but am just enjoying the experience of trying out new things😍♥️
When I feel overwhelmed with all that's possible in watercolor I can come back to this video and it gives me courage to begin again with something small, simple yet beautiful!
So Pretty! I decided to learn watercolor in part because it looked so enjoyable and part because I stay at home because of COVID19. I am a proud 75 years and want to learn something new. Thank you so much for your tutorials! I enjoy them so much.
Very pretty! Layering with watercolours is not as easy as it sounds. I am very grateful for my heat tool. When I get started I don't want to stop. I want to watch my painting unfold in all it's watercolour beauty, or not, with my heat tool I can continue and my colours don't get muddy. I enjoyed your tutorial. My favorite part was how beautiful and easy you made your leaves. I am LEAF CHALLENGED. Thanks for sharing!👍💛💜
Hi Emma i started to paint in watercolors last Christmas because I did,nt have the money to buy the holiday cards that I wanted to get , but I must say thank you to you and ellen crimi-trent for the educational insight on how to go about it and I think the cards meant much more than the bought ones even though the paint and paper ain't cheap, it worked out better though and I think what you,ve shown here is ace , I might even pick the brush up again if there still here so thanks again and a big hello from the UK 🎨
I have been watching (and trying) your tutorials non-stop for the past two days now and I cannot tell you how fantastic you are as a teacher - probably the best on UA-cam. For the first time ever I am beginning to understand and enjoy watercolour painting after some 3 years of trying. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I love these. Very pretty. They would make great, quick watercolor cards to have on hand for any occasion. I painted on Arches and also on a Strathmore watercolor card and I don’t recommend this technique on anything but 100% cotton paper like Arches or Bee or Strathmore 500 series, etc., because you’ll end up with hard edges and blooms (back-runs, cauliflowers.) That pretty much goes for most paintings, but Emma’s technique for these layered flowers needs good paper. If you want your end result to look like hers, use the paper she’s using 😘.
I agree, I tried this technique with a lesser quality paper and got a lot of "blooms", "cauliflowers"etc. Tried again using my Arches paper with no problem. I have to say Emma makes this look so easy but when I did this it took a few practice runs. Sometimes we all need a little humbling,lol.🤣🤗
Van Gogo, she does make it look easy. I tend to paint on the tighter side and try so hard to loosen up. When I do it just doesn't look the same, initially. If I leave it alone and look at it a few days later I'm usually pleased. It's the leaving it alone I struggle with. I've ruined more paintings I care to admit to by fiddling and adding that "one last layer."
@@ChristinaTodd1970 Me too, I have learned the hard way after more paintings than I even want to think about that it is best to stop the minute you say to yourself, hmm, should I? NO! You shouldn't! Just walk away and no one will get hurt,lol, but seriously it does take a lot to not overdo a painting. I'm learning to slow down and be patient but it's not easy.
The transparency is so well done if you stare at the flower long enough it is like it is goin in and out of focus. Absolutely fabulous. I'm doin this later when I'm done with errands
I’ve been watching a few of your videos at night when I have a quiet child free moment to myself. You’ve got such wonderful talent. You make something very impressive in such a small amount of time. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. I love the fact you’ve used the translucency of the medium to dramatic effects lost like sun illuminating the petals from behind them. So beautiful. Thank you from Australia.
Hello from France ! I have been watching your paintings since about 2 months and I loved them and it's à very good training for me. Thank you so much. May 12, 2021. Nicole
Emma, I lost count at how many times I've watched this video. You make it look so easy. I finally decided to give it a try - and oh my goodness, it actually came out pretty good for a beginner! I surprised myself! I am now hooked on all your wonderful videos as you are so very inspiring to me. Oh yeah, your little guy is so sweet!
I just started doing watercolor during the lockdown and loved this tutorial! I'm using it to make a mother's day card for my mom. Thank you for putting these out!!
Oh my gosh, this is a fabulous technique. It can be used for so many things. I would’ve never thought of this on my own, thank you for sharing it with all of us. I love love love it!!!
Oh I see!! Thank you! I thought Layering was only for landscapes, so this was very nice! I'll practice it tonight, thank you, Emma! As always, your videos are easy to understand.
Emma~ I actually found your channel by a fluke. I was looking for something in particular and there was your video painting flowers in layers. . I thought..wow how gorgeous but there’s no way I can do that! I need to paint something that I’ve sketched beforehand, I find it easier, but the final results I just don’t care for. I was about to throw in the towel and give up, but I ended up watching your video. I’ve watched other videos on layering but I just couldn’t relate to what they were talking about.. You take your time explaining what you’re doing so that we can fully understand it. Being a beginner is hard enough, but finding the right teacher well that takes a lot of research. I couldn’t believe it, right in front of my eyes was my very 1st watercolor painting, not sketched, and it actually looked really pretty. Thank you for that because I really didn’t think I would find anyone I could relate to. You’re an amazing teacher, your work is beautiful, and I have my confidence back. I subscribed to your channel and I’m looking forward to watching more videos and seeing my work improve. I belong to a “beginners watercoloring group” and have yet to post anything. I will now. Thank you Thank you💞🌸🎨🌺👩🎨💞
Emma Lefebvre, I’m sitting at my desk sketching the daffodils you’re painting in a video, so I can paint them tomorrow and a notification goes off on my phone. It’s a comment from you. Now that’s perfect timing👍 Today I woke up with a new attitude & perspective about watercolors. This all began (my new hobby), because I wanted to paint something special for my great niece. It’s her 1st birthday on May9th and this is very important to me. Claire passed away the day she was born, and I have something special planned that I want to paint. Also, I’m painting tulips for my niece Taylor (her mom) because I think she deserves something beautiful as well on that day. It has been a horrible year, and painting has actually helped my heart and soul. That’s why the gratitude I have (in finding you) is such a blessing to me💞💞
Very beautiful indeed! My only query involves touching the paper with your fingers to test for dryness. I was taught to ONLY check with the back of my hand so any oils on [some] hands & fingers don't negatively influence (aka ruin) how well the water & pigments work on & in the paper. I'd always thought any danger was probably negligible. Still, I'll not test any paper after french fries, potato chips or fried chicken! Thanks!
Really enjoyed this one. Sometimes, you just want to do something simple andplay around with colour as a warm up whilst at the same time, not wasting materials. This is perfect for that. Thanks again
Beautiful. Might want to mention that you are doing most of the heat tool drying off camera. Some people might think 2 seconds is long enough. But I love the sheer look.
So beautiful!! I'm inspired and am trying and enjoying....but.... I hate to blame the tools, it sounds so weak but your brushes seem to just flow! No stray hairs. I'll have to check online or a more specialized art shop for the Princeton or other good watercolour brushes. I totally love your work Emma!! That last picture of the bright poppy-like flowers is totally stunning!! Sigh......... 😀🌿💐

Al leerte me parece genial, pensando q aún tengo tiempo...

Congratulations..Ilove the old with flowers decorated Window.
Great artist but above all you are a great teacher as well ,thou teach in a very simple way ,I love to see you playing with colours and brushes..
Very nice thanks for the video , learn something every day , nice to see that Canadians can still spell Colour the right way !!!!
I cannot wait to create beautiful flowers with watercolors!!!
Loved how the translucent played over the petals and leaves.
Beautiful, thank you for a pretty outcome with a clear, step-by-step demo without too many techniques so it feels approachable and encouraging to try.
I don't understand how people would dislike this video. She's very talented and also, feels relatable.
The transparency is so well done if you stare at the flower long enough it is like it is goin in and out of focus. Absolutely fabulous. I'm doin this later when I'm done with errands
Wery good tutorial, without to much unnecessary talk, this helped a lot. Beautifully painted. Thanks 👌👍

I bought stickers like this. My favorite ones. Now i can try to make them myself! Thank you SOO MUCH! I can't ❤wait to try!
New to water coloring, and new subscriber...have been binge watching your tutorials...TYFS
I love watching your videos. So many tips for me as a newcomer to watercolor painting.
Aaaw, so delicate! The flowers look like made of chiffon!

LOVE the bright bright one
These are lovely and seem so simple to do. I'm going to give them a try right away. Thanks so much for making watercolour so approachable.
Love love your technique. So delicate looking ❤
I used this teachings from you today. Very nice to learn. ❤
Those are the nicest, prettiest waters color flowers, I've seen yet!

I wondered how this was done.. So drying is the trick. Thanks .. the side ways one would make a great start to a butterfly .. Thanks for the video
