Emma I love that you keep it real by saying that some things are hard to draw.... this makes me more inclined to sit and try to draw something too and not be ashamed and give up - especially if my turtle looks like a whale - I am definitely not that good at it ! lol - Thank You so much for keeping it real - I Love this about you..... Koala hugs from Australia x
after 40 years, I am starting to paint again. I found out that almost everything have changed. You are being the best teacher for me to start painting with watercolors. Thank you so much!!!
For someone who finds it hard to draw animals you make it look easy. I like the colour palette you chose. I really want to paint this lovely ocean creature. Thank you 🐢
I love your tutorials and can't wait til the next one! Don't get too tired. Having a toddler and a career is quite daunting at times but you do an excellent job of teaching and your little one is adorable! I'm a grandma to 10 and I know how exhausting and unmotivated I felt at times raising my own 4. Thank you for all you do to teach, motivate, educate, and keep us painting!!!
Fabulous turtle. Please look after yourself and don’t burn out. No one minds if you take a break from making UA-cam videos to rest and recuperate and get your motivation back.
Thank you, Emma. I appreciate you posting your sweet drawings so often. I'm collecting them to paint for my granddaughter. I live far from her, so I send them to her for a scrapbook of Grandma's gifts.
Hi Emma, just wanted to say thank you so much for all your beautiful tutorials. I just love them. I've only been painting for 2 weeks but your teachings have accelerated my learning and excitement for all things water colour. My friend Wendy in Colorado and I, in Mexico, pick a tutorial each week and then paint together and learn together. So wonderful. Keep up the great work.
Your turtles are fabulous! I just returned from a holiday in St. Thomas and Saint John and we swam with turtles every day. Thank you so much. You are extremely talented!
When I'm feeling a bit low or worrying over something, painting I find is the best way for me to distract myself and get totally lost in the process. The hardest part is Starting for me. To get my supplies out & actually make that first stroke I find the hardest. Is this all because of my state of mind or do others find this a stumbling block? Adore your paintings & watch all your utube videos, you are very talented & your teaching style is just right. Thank you for sharing your talent. 😀🎨💗
Squeee!!! I was hoping you'd paint a sea turtle after I saw the whale! And for the record, you do an excellent job of free hand drawing your subjects. 💖💖💖
This turned out so great, Emma!!! I love your style, the way you explain. and the colors you used!! I ALWAYS look forward to your videos and appreciate all the work you put into them!! Thanks again!!!
I would watch your videos no matter how long they were because I enjoy your candor and your painting & teaching talents. I talk about you to aspiring artists and encourage them to watch you. Have a great day !!!
Love your painting style, I am still new to watercolor but have watched many tutorials from different artists but you are my favorite! It just flows, easy to follow, not too fast, not too complicated but final result is always great! Thanks! Could you make more animal ones? I really loved this turtle one!
Perhaps a blue and/or green pencil would have been more invisible than black because the black is still black when dissolved and so it does not just disappear. That said this is beautiful and you can draw really well!
Hi Emma Jane, I am a new subscriber and am enjoying your tutorials. I haven't taken out my watercolors in years and am so happy to follow along with your tutorials. You are such a talented artist and spectacular teacher. Thank you for all you do. Please keep doing the tutorials because it is expanding my knowledge of blending watercolors, drawing, and not overworking my drawings. God bless!
Wow. I've watched this Video a few times & continue to be amazed at your "bravery" of just charging in with a loaded brush and committing to whatever line or detail you're painting. Even though its on hi-speed fwd, its still incredible your real time speed. Your color selection is beautiful & I find myself just staring at that gorgeous Turtle for a long time when you finish. I've directed friends to just go take a look when I hear them say some of the subject matter on Painting Tutorials always that interesting or inspiring. As suspected, they get back to me with "Wow". Thank you!
Yay! Ocean paintings! How about sea spray & a curling wave? You're just amazing & keep it all so simple for us--astonishingly easy. You truly are ALL about us "newbie gals" in the watercolor world here on YT. No one's as good a teacher as you & your final results are always jewel-toned magic. You are innately gifted. Thank you for your generosity, Emma! Happy Easter to you & your family. :)
So pretty!! I love sea turtles. You make it look so easy. I struggle with drawing. What I do is draw it on scratch paper so I can redo and erase and then use a light pad to trace it onto my wc paper in the exact spot where I want it. It works well, even with the Arches paper. I definitely want to try this one. And the jellyfish, too. Thanks for the tutorial.
Who are the 10 jerks that gave this a thumbs down??? This is beautiful! This one I would have loved the longer version just as much, too. Just throwing that out there.
Beautiful job Emma! You are very appreciated as a teacher. I especially love that you are a fellow Canadian artist!! 🇨🇦😍 ... and we all feel unmotivated at times-don’t let it get you down and please don’t feel pressure from us observers to produce videos. Each one is a little gift from you to us and a gift should not be expected, but rather a nice surprise to enjoy!
Emma, you are an inspiration! And an excellent teacher who seems to really understand that we students definitely have our insecurities doing drawings and watercolor. But you make it FUN and your voice is soothing. I love sea turtles as we frequent, or we did before Covid, the sea around Cayman. They have lovely crystal clear warm sea and beautiful sea animals.
Thank you again for this special video. It’s close to my heart. I love snorkeling with the sea turtles. Know that I appreciate you and you sharing your talent with us.
Just found your channel and love your instructions. Another hint - if you plan the base color of your painting (green turtle) you can use a water color pencil near that shade to do your sketch. That way it really blends in well. Just be cautious when doing washes as the lines really disappear (with your sketch). Thank you!
I'm so glad I found this! I've been painting sea turtles and getting ready to do another. Yours turned out beautiful! You've given me some great ideas. Thanks a bunch.
Very nice, love the colors you chose to paint the turtle in. I find your technique fascinating and love the way your paintings turn out so soft and beautiful.
Thank you so much for this... I just got into watercolours and followed your tutorial step by step.. I really learned a lot from your tutorial and my painting turned out beautiful.
Personally I find this is actually one of the most beautiful paintings you have done, Emma. I don't think I have the patience to try to reproduce it, lol, but just looking at it kind of hypnotises me. Colours are great too. Thank you so much
Thank you!!! Turtles can be incredibly complicated with all the different segments on the shell and flippers and face, so it is nice to learn how to simplify the subject matter as a beginner. Are you using tube paints???? I love the Native American stories about turtles and I love that they have 13 major segments like the moons in a year and 28 around the edge of the shell like the days in a month.
You are amazing and beautiful. Thank you for all your wonderful videos. I have been trying so hard to paint, I've went through a 9x12 pad plus some, lol. Everything I paint ends up in the trash, I cannot seem to be able to control the water and paint on my brushes. Right now my turtle isn't looking too bad, hopefully I get to finish 🐢
Dang......I want to paint one now in blues and greens. He almost needs a name doesnt he? Hes so beautiful. I could do one I think. It was fun watchin you.
I love, love, love your tutorials! I'm a new subscriber and watching your videos inspired me to break my watercolors back out again. Thank you for taking the time to share your talents.
I love this sooooo much!!! Love the colors you used and you make it look effortless ❤️ Now I’m off to practice!! Thank you so much for doing these videos. I can’t tell you how much I look forward to them. I’ve learned so much from you already!!!!
Thank you for this tutorial, I had a lot of fun painting along, if I do things step by step I’m amazed at how well it turns out , practice and patience are key for a beginner like me xoxo 😘
Oh my goodness, this turned out so freaking adorable! I have to say, you are awesome on so many levels! I absolutely love how you use the supplies you have in every video, you aren't using the most expensive or constantly changing and trying new supplies, and honestly, it shows. Your confidence in your supplies and your knowledge of what to "usually" expect when you touch your brush to the paper is inspiring to me. Shows that consistent practice with the same supplies really does make a difference. I personally have too many supplies, collected over many many years and I struggle with what to use. I just need to pick a set and stick with it. My 2020 goal! Thanks for your lovely tutorials and keep emailing coming. I'm definitely going to fill a sketchbook with them...the feathers, whale, jelly fish, sea turtle, coffee, poppies....yep! You are going to keep me busy! Thank you! Happy new year!
Wow I learn so much watching you, and your sea turtle is beautiful!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do the videos. I've only been painting for 3 weeks and have so much to learn.
You Do A GREAT JOB, Emma. I've Been Watching You For Weeks. It's Tough Having A Toddler Sometimes...Mine Were EITHER My GREATEST JOY(S) Or My GREATEST "TESTERS"!(OF My LAST NERVE!) No In Between!
That was incredible I want to go get my paints out and follow along! I love your videos and the way you don’t mess around you get right to work and you do an amazing job at making it look fun and easy!!Thank you for sharing!
I just found your tutorials and am very inspired to get out paint and paper. Thank you! Would you consider doing a tutorial on painting purple violets?
Emma I love that you keep it real by saying that some things are hard to draw.... this makes me more inclined to sit and try to draw something too and not be ashamed and give up - especially if my turtle looks like a whale - I am definitely not that good at it ! lol - Thank You so much for keeping it real - I Love this about you.....

Only 25 minutes? This would take me hours. Nice job. Thanks.
Fabulous turtle. Please look after yourself and don’t burn out. No one minds if you take a break from making UA-cam videos to rest and recuperate and get your motivation back.
Watching you paint is never boring Emmaxx
Thank you, Emma. I appreciate you posting your sweet drawings so often. I'm collecting them to paint for my granddaughter. I live far from her, so I send them to her for a scrapbook of Grandma's gifts.
I appreciate your showing how it takes time to hand draw the turtle
drew this as my first ever painting , thank you it's beautiful

What a beautiful sea turtle! You shouldn't worry about your videos being too long. I could watch you for a very long time!
Me too! So relaxing & Emma's funny personality, contagious laugh. LOL

The colours you chose for the shell are simply stunning,you really are an amazing artist.xx
You make it look so easy, love turtles.
That was really cool. A small tail would have balanced it better on the paper.
Gosh! I had no idea that I wanted to paint a turtle until I watched your tutorial! Yours is so beautiful!
Margaret Blickenderfer , I agree. I feel the same way!
IKR
You really encourage me!!! Thanks for sharing!
Love your eye for colors. I love this turtle
