Great video. I haven’t painted for years but I’m inspired to get my paints out and get started again. Thank you ✌️❤️
I'm a beginner water color artist 😊. I looked at several videos before I chose you as my water color teacher. Thanks for the instructions.
I totally agree!! I did the same. So glad I found her!!
Me too! She's amazing ❤
Why don't we see how to mix the paint and water? When do you clean the brush?
Exactly the same here xx
Thanks for your simple straightforward instructions with no distracting music. Your flowers turned out great and I can't wait to try them out!
I do handpainted clothes ,i ts water based , will love to paint some like this too
I agree, I appreciate your tutorials without distracting music. I can’t wait to try these.
I’m so happy I found your channel , the flowers are so delicate ❤ I’m just learning to draw and paint at age 70 and am very drawn to whimsical art so far. On seeing this video I’m going to give this a go also . Have subscribed and hopefully I will learn a lot more from you 👏🏻👏🏻
Flowers have really intimidated me through the past few years with my watercolor journey, but this video really was an eye-opener, and I will be practicing flowers much more often! Thank you for this video, and I hope/would love to see more of these!
I'm so happy I found you Emma you're so awesome. Because of your teaching style I'm no longer scared to paint as a beginner it can be intimidating lol
Agree!!😊
Just bought my first set of watercolors (in my 60s) and tried your excellent tutorial May 1st, 2024. My mom is turning 86 this month, so I’m hoping to text her a photo of a little watercolor card every day this month. Thanks for your excellent tutorials!
Thank you Emma.........LOVE the pedal “fold” look.
You said easy so I thought "hmm OK. I'll give it a go". They came out looking like flowers 🤔 but I wouldn't want to land in a field of them 😅😅 Yours are perfect. I won't give up. One day I'll paint pretty flowers like yours 😊
I’m a beginner. I love lavender. I tried your technique last night. Love it! Love it! Love it! ❤❤❤ Thank you so much 🙏🏻😘
I'm so happy that this just came through ! I can't use my left arm or hand at the moment, so I need something to challenge me - I'm a total beginner 🤔😊
Great tutorial. Thank you very much!
I love watching you paint flowers!
I loved to paint these flowers with you. Your step by step method is very helpful. Thanks, Emma.
I've just re-found your channel, I forgot how much I used to love watching and painting along with you! Thank you for this lovely lesson.
very helpful! i never get tired of seeing flowers; freesia, columbine, bleeding hearts, hollyhocks, snapdragons, forget me nots
Thank you for this tutorial! I have been wanting to learn to paint some simple flowers and this was perfect! I hope you do more of these.😊
Love the way you paint flowers, the colours are great. thank you Emma.
So happy I stumbled across this video - love how simply you have broken down all of the steps - in fact I think I'm up to creating some of these beautiful flowers myself. Thx Emma.
Beautiful. You are so talented. As an artist and a teacher. Absolutely love the daisies. I'm going to try this.
You are such a talented artist Emma. I always learn so much from you, I have been working with watercolor since December and know that you have taught me the most. Thank you so much 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for all these beautiful videos your family is special and sharing your struggles let’s us know you are brave and determined. I paint with you and my heart lifts higher and the fact that I must look at something so intensely is a learning experience and relaxing. I try to draw a bit of what I see while traveling and I find I look at the Churches, statues, museums and historical sights through a new lens!
Wow!! I have seen so manyyyyy videos, you actually show closeups of your work as you paint !! 🥹 Thank you!! ❤❤
I like your videos. I just found you today as I'm beginning the process of teaching myself watercolor painting. I've been painting with acrylics for 8+ year. I took a class in watercolors a few years ago and did not have good results. I have since avoided watercolors like the plague! I had some success following this video so I am subscribing and look forward to learning more from you. Thanks for sharing your talents!
Very helpful video.... thank you for sharing 🙏
I’ve been an acrylic artist for a few years now and just decided to try watercolor. I’m so glad I found your channel. All the drills and tutorials are so helpful! Thank you!! ❤
This is by far the best tutorial for beginners!!!! Thank you Emma
You make me smile after you finished your water coloring. Beautiful
I never liked drawing or painting flowers...until I saw this video! You took away any misgivings i had about flowers being difficult to paint; now I'm excited to be adding flowers to my 'fun to paint' practices! Thank you 🙂
I am totally a beginner! I sincerely appreciate you doing this UA-cam. Thank you❤️❤️

I over think the process. This looks so simple and fun. I have to just relax.
Thank you soo much for your wonderful tutorial and it is the best one for explaining and demonstrating flowers especially the daisies❤️💝🎨💝❤️
I used my kids water colors and brushes and except for the daisies (too dark!) it turned out great. I think I might have a new hobby 😊 thank you for the great instructions!

Those are beautiful!! I looked up from finally getting my grey right for the dasiy, and SHABANG there's your detailed, stunning daisy that looks absolutely nothing like the little dusty snowflake I just struggled to accomplish hahaha. I needed to take a break, but I'll definitely be back to practice... thank you for sharing!
I love them! You are a great teacher!
Thank you for the class! I’m in love with your daisies!😍
