    Your old 11 minute peony video is helping paint again. Five weeks ago my 40 y/I son died and I lost my desire to paint. Yours was my first inspiration to paint again so I thank you for bringing my passion for watercolor painting back. My son Michael loved my paintings and always told me if I loved it, that’s all that mattered! Thank you Emma.

    Emma, this is wonderful. And yes, I do love your tutorials where you're not quite sure and we get to hear your thought process. I love peonies but have a hard time capturing their beauty. I've already watched this three times over and I'm sure I'll watch it more as I practice. Ilearned a lot in this video. Thank you so much!

    You are AMAZING! I love it when you have a "happy little accident" and show us how to fix it. You give me the confidence to continue. I know part of my issue is my paper, as I have learned that is VERY important, but I still have not learned how to blend and wash the colors together with out the hard lines or big blob.

    Wow what progress you've made since I first watched a peony you did. That's beautiful. I used to think that you must have learned to paint from Jenna Rainey but now I think you could teach her a thing or 2. I'm so impressed. Great job! Seeing you get better keeps me practicing.

    That is AMAZING! You make it all seem effortless and I know it isn't. Just bought all my supplies, but am still too scared to start. Am taking a calligraphy course presently and will try to fit this in between something as a way to relax. Find that Calligraphy is very satisfying, but makes me really tired because I'm so intensely focused. This would be a nice break. Thank you for being you and being such an inspiration to all of us.

I love your little holloween cut outs too. Thanks for sharing 😊😎 FL.
