I too have had a 40 year lapse in my water color painting and am now alone with time to fill following the loss of two husbands. I am a very sharp and mentally able 86 year old. I am loving watching the online tutorials and learning a lot and it’s coming back to me. I paint every day. Thank you.❤
I suffer from depression, anxiety, and complex ptsd from many traumatic events that happened in my childhood. I just needed to tell you what a difference you have made in my life.
I am a 78 year old self taught watercolor beginner. Was doing ok until Covid sent me into a downward spiral. I also have suffered from depression since childhood. I always said “When I grow up, I want to be an artist. “. Well it’s time. Been struggling with. Watercolor now for a while (I actually started as an oil painter) so I do have some training in painting. Well last night I stumbled onto your UA-cam tutorials. What an amazing find for me. You are exactly what I need at this time. I need to practice all the. Strokes and how to hold a brush etc. Thank you so much for doing this for those of us cannot find an instructor in my area. You are amazing and so calming to watch and to listen to. I can’t say enough to thank you. Love your work!
I'm 72 and i have wanted to relearn watercolor painting after 40 year lapse. i wanted to paint again to help me work thru grief and depression. its been fun and its been hard. im so thankful for all the artists who are sharing their time and talents to those who want to learn whatever their arts and crafts specialties are.
I can totally relate. I'm using watercolor as an outlet for the heartbreak I feel watching Alzheimer's rob my sweet husband of his abilities ever so slowly.
Thank you so much for another helpful video 🙏 I am learning more and more by watching you and listening to your explanations 😊 Lots of love from a very grateful beginner 💖
You are a wonderful instructor- like you, I am also a former teacher (retired high school teacher). It's so great how you've transferred your teaching skills over to watercolor instruction. Thank you for making this incredible transition! Your videos have taught me so much.
my husband sent this UA-cam to me because I put my paints away. Frustrated! but I love the way you explain how to make paint. Thanks. getting my paints out today.
I'm German and live in New Zealand. I have just discovered your channel and absolutely love it. You are inspiring me to go back to water colours after a lifetime of acrylic painting. Thank you so much for your lovely videos!
I had to pause the video (I’m at the peony) to THANK YOU!!! I’ve needed just this kind of explanation for EVER! I’m a super-beginner and this has all seemed so mysterious and beyond my ability until right this MINUTE. I have HOPE ❤️
I have been watching your videos and following along for several months now and love them all! I particularly like this video as it shows how to paint each flower and then how to put it all together to make a beautiful (but easy enough to follow) composition. I often find that I can paint the individual flowers but I don't know how to put it together into a painting that looks complete. This video showed a lovely finished product. I hope you do more like this one!
This was so helpful. I always avoided painting flowers, now I think I'm ready. Will definitely do the exercises. Thank you for all your drill and practice stroke videos.
How awesome, your willingness to make these awesome teaching videos that are beyond helpful! Thank you SO much! You have a God gifted talent for art! I love art and calligraphy as well and this is the BEST video I’ve seen yet! God bless you! 😇
I have watched this video over and over. Helps so much. Thank you for making these videos. I have learned so much from watching you. It’s almost just as relaxing just watching you paint as it is to paint my self. 😊
Thank you for sharing your amazing talents! I am new to watercolor and you are so inspiring! I also love how you have organized your videos into playlists. It makes it easy to find what you are looking for. I hope you will continue to make these videos! You have a fan for life!!
You are now my favourite tutor, I notice that your brush goes back in to shape as your lifting it off your paper so I’m guessing that’s where better brushes come in to their own, thank you for another fantastic tutorial Emma.
The thoroughness of this video is so impressive and helpful. I picked up watercolor as a new hobby about a month ago and it’s not as easy as people make it look but tutorials like this make me want to keep going! Thank you!
Emma you are just the best! To teach florals to beginners you are the best teacher. This class was impressive and it inspired me so so much to continue trying to do nice florals like yours. I follow many watercolor artist since I am learning on my own but you are my favorite and the best of all. May God bless you in everything you do.
You are so good at this! I think it is obvious you have worked hard for a while to get where you are! I look forward to learning more from you! I am working on patience!
I loved this video - the strokes seem to be SO easy to do and then - Magic! a beautiful floral painting using all those simple strokes. Amazing. Can't wait to try it.
Emma - you are just the best teacher I’ve ever met . I hated paint flowers - with you showing how to do, a so useful funny technique, it was an adventure. I’ll stay wirh you and look forward to everething you’ll teach me. Jihaaa!! Best wishes from eva maria stockholm sweden
hello from France! Thank you so much, I improved my painting thanks to you! I'm going to check if you propose other exercises on your channel. Have a nice day, and again, thnak you!
Very helpful video. I appreciate that you show “this is what happens when …”. It also helps that you started with strokes and built in those, tying them into the complete flower. I can’t say I am “there” yet, but I am improving with your help. Thanks! I watch a few others on utube, but I keep coming back to your videos. The others I am in a class learning while, with you, I feel like I’m sitting down with a friend and we are painting together. It’s very calming, enjoyable, and helpful. 👍 🥰
really like your teaching style, communication, pace, etc ... you're pleasant to listen to and so easy to follow along with : ). I've been searching out YT instructors all week long and I'm so glad to have come across you!
Thank you! Now I know what to try to improve my roses. Something was wrong, but your demo points out what I should change. I love any videos on brush strokes.
Thanking you for the different flower shapes . I did need a review and brush up.. your roses were just great; light and fluffy a bit. Loved this thank you again… luv ya
I love your tutorials, you make it so simple to follow along! Every time I feel in an inspirational slump, I just have to visit one of your videos to get me going again. Your abstract florals are my favorite, I would never have attempted anything like that if it wasn't for you.
Bonjour, je ne parle pas anglais, mais en suivant vos vidéos j'arrive à comprendre comment vous faites. Votre bouquet est magnifique. Merci pour le partage. Anne
Emma, this was awesome I loved how you broke down the strokes and each flower prior to doing the composition. I had watched a previous video by another artist to do floral Tutorial just prior to doing yours and I was frustrated as we were not told what size brushes, how to mix the colors, or how to produce the strokes to produce each blossom. Your video was extraordinarily helpful and when I compare the two paintings the one I did with your tutorial makes me look like a real artist! :-)
New to watercolour, and painting for that matter, you covered ALL of the issues I've been running into! I am president of the pooling club and the high arch, wide white space club. Thank for this this. New subscriber now :)
Sevgili Emma çok teşekkür ederim.Bu güzel çalışmayı en kısa zamanda çalışacağım.Sen harika bir sanatçısın,Lisan bilmiyorum ,sadece izleyerek öğreniyorum.Sonsuz tebrikler,bebeğine ve sana en güzel dileklerimi kalben gönderiyorum.
You are such a wonderful teacher! I'm starting out and haven't even practiced yet but watching your videos make me feel confident I can learn! Your painting at the end is so so gorgeous. I love it! I would frame it lol! Thank you for your video!
Hello Emma. I watched your videos on how to use the brush and all the beginner tips have really helped me. I was doing other mediums but watercolors was a little intimidating and I thought maybe I couldn't do it. I started my journey getting inspired by your art and you make it look so easy and fun.Thanks a lot. ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this. I love this drill... it makes such a difference. Your paintings keep getting better and better everytime I see your videos. Wow... 🤗
I am trying to follow you , everything you do is beautiful 🤩 I wish I could show you , I am having problems placing the leaves in an arrangement , thank you
