    Emma, I love the way you teach. Just calm and simple instructions, no music. Please keep it this way!! You explain what colors you're using, how to paint each detail, and I love it that you complete a painting in one sitting. You are a talented artist and a super teacher! I've listened/watched others and no one compares to your style and talent! Thank you for posting all these for us to enjoy!

    "Maybe somebody stepped on it". As someone who really wants to do watercolor flowers just like this, but is worried they'll look like crap, your words actually brought some tears, and a lot of inspiration. I'm digging out my water colors, and I'm gonna paint all kinds of miss-shapen, stepped on, and not-fully bloomed flowers, and I'll appreciate everyone of them as they are. Thank you! I'm glad your video popped up on my feed, I'll be watching more!

    I thank you for the reminders to “just have fun with it”. That’s what it is supposed to be about. As a newbie, I can get too intense and “over kill” too often. It’s not a contest after all! I am learning so much from you even at my old age.

    Thank you so much! Other teachers do one stroke flowers and leaves and I am just not great at them and they don't look as realistic as these, they look more folk artsy. This is more the way I end up painting, trying to make them more realistic, and thought i was doing it "wrong". Thanks for helping me realize there is really no right or wrong style as long as you get the results you are looking for. I like the more realistic look like this. They turned out great. Stepped on and all. :)

    I have been practicing my watercoloring while I'm stuck at home - our county is under a "stay at home order" from the governor. Thankfully, both my job and my husband's job are allowing us to work at home. Hope you and your family are staying well during this time and thank you for all the inspiration!

    What a beautiful process to watch. Had trouble sleeping, anxiety about the virus creeping in, so I found your wonderful wildflowers to watch and calm down. Perfect little delicate images. You are so adept with your brushwork, it is just mesmerizing. Thank you for your art therapy in these crazy times.

    Thank you for showing me I have the right idea and it’s okay to work your shapes a bit. I was watching another water colorist who states you shouldn’t do that. I have to remember everyone has their own style and one style may not be for you. Thank you! Beautiful water coloring.

    I’ve loved learning how to paint these flowers….especially the Antirrhinums (you call them Snap Dragons) that are one of my favourites.
    Here in the UK, they do not grow wild but are seen in English Country Gardens….a very ‘old fashioned flower’ that come in a wide range of colours; pale and dark!

    I can not wait to get those colors and the new watercolors I have been so impressed with the way those colors are so vivid compared to what I have been using I can't even come close but I've been in a funk for a few days and I've stopped doing what I love the most on my time and that is painting but also bored with the same ol same ol those colors make me happy so I have been more then ready to get them hopefully in a week or so I will be ordering them even if it comes in a kit I just can't wait ...but for tonight I'm going to use what I have, I love those flowers so pretty thanks for taking the time. oh and one last thing once again I almost feel like we have mental telepathy your always posting something I have been either wanting to learn to paint and it usually falls within a day or so of my thoughts weird but true
