I am learning so much from your tutorials, thanks a million. Don't ever stop, please .......
Evergreen trees are my nemesis and I’m from Canada, so it’s like I’m some sort of grinchy anti-lumberjack or something else mean! I think this will be my winter goal… to get comfortable with painting evergreen trees. Every time I see you do it, you make me believe I can… so I’m just going to fill up pages and pages with these trees. It’s muscle memory that will make it happen, I guess.
BTW, I lived in Yellowknife for over a decade and trees are pretty scruffy and small up there (mostly jackpine) and they look just like the one you did with the upturned branches. They made awesome Charlie Brown Christmas trees if you didn’t mind freezing your digits off cutting one down!
as a forester in northern BC, I struggle with painting conifers! Mostly because I spend so much time looking at the real thing and each species has its own overall growth shape, branch character, needles and variations of green. I love how Emma has done a few variations (the second one could be a young, open grown Douglas-fir -lol), and pines are a real challenge.
@@4streegrrrl601 yeah, that would be a challenge if you know the species well! We can doooo eeeet!
Thanks so much for this Emma I am such a beginner but I could follow along and get trees! So happy 😄 And I would gladly watch heaps more videos of you painting trees🌲
i loved your trees...happy trees!!
my favorites are moreton bay fig & norfolk pines tc
Beautiful. You have a great teaching style. You keep it simple and you explain what you are doing and why. Love these trees! 🎄🎄🎄
These are awesome, Emma; I could totally watch you paint more trees. I can't wait to try them.
I love evergreens but still unable to accomplish their beauty. Love your video and especially having your pallet visible. It helps so much to see how you load your brush. That is much more helpful than videos that are about loading your brush. Love your videos. Thanks so much.
You are definitely very talented. Beautiful illustration.
WOW! thanks for simplifying and avoiding the muddies
Thank you so much! I LOVE to paint trees and this is the BEST TREE TUTORIAL!!!!
THEY are so beautiful - you are amazing at trees!!! Make more - so lovely!!!
In BC, Canada. Lot's of these - my guess 1. Pine 2. Cedar 3. Larch 4. Hemlock 5.Grand Fir
So beautiful
These look so pretty!🥰 Thank you!
Thank you for your explanation.It helped me alot
☺️😊
Honestly, trees are one of my downfalls. I don't know why but they never look real. Thanks for teaching us Several ways to do different styles.
My feelings exactly. In my head before I start they seem simple and then the actual is so disappointing.
@@jodymbmw3460 I agree with you ladies!
All of them are great! TFS❤
I feel the exact same way. Looks simple, I'm inspired only to be let down as I paint.
A wonderful calming class on Trees! Love each of the four, my favorite was the 5th one! I’m going to do a page of trees to calm me down in this busy holiday season . Thank you for a lovely start to the last week before Christmas! Have a wonderful Christmas, Karen Dirmish
Love this! Thanks Emma always more trees and composition re the trees too 🙏
I'm trying to focus on how to draw and paint trees more than I did before.
Seeing the trees in winter really helps to see their shapes, how full or thin the branches are, along with height.
Yes, gimme more trees! Learning so much!
I join your wonderful Video also in Germany 😊 Thank You so much
Thank you🌲
Excellent video and well explained...
Philip
Your trees looks so beautiful I love to watch you
This is a wonderful tutorial! Thank you!
Love your trees and yes, more please.
Absolutely love this tutorial! Love pine trees but seem to struggle, I'm going to practice a good part of today with this. Thank you!!!
I love your wok, your color anda your style ❤️
Thank you Emma, these trees are beautiful! Only some rabbits or a deer and it is already a wonderful Christmas card.
😊
Thank you So much Emma . Love you .🎄♥🎄
Thank You. What a great tutorial. I'll save this and review it more..
Best explanations and exclamations ! :)
This is a fun video, really pretty trees!
Love your trees Emma!!
Beautiful,thank you!
Excellent tutorial…. Thankyou
Your stylized tree (#2) is actually a Douglas fir. Thank you for the demonstration!
❤love the simplicity.😅
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed this tree tutorial. I would also be interested in painting different types of palm trees. I signed up for your box subscription and am looking forward to perfecting my watercolor skills. Thanks!
Gorgeous trees 🌲
Never enough trees. Thank you
❤ this!
THANK YOU for all these great techniques! Pines are my #1 Favorite tree & it's good to know how to render them in watercolor. They turned out just beautifully & I'm gonna have to make a point of trying this. Do you ever paint with acrylics? That's my favorite paint medium & I'd love to know how to do better with them as well.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🎄❤🎄❤🎄❤🎄❤🎄
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Like those pine trees ❤
Thank you.🙂❄
Not that it matters but the third one you painted is definately a spruce not pine. You're first tree is a Ponderosa Pine. You can tell the difference of evergreens by looking at their profile and the tops. Spruce usually have 3 pointed tops, one vertice with 2 diagonal off shoots and their tips all over are that way too. I learned that while learning how to forage. You painted some beautiful trees though. I can't paint that well yet! But j will keep trying! And by the way, I was practicing with dollarstore watercolours, brushes and paper like shown in your other video and I agree they are complete garbage. I can't even practice well with them. So I'm off to buy some better ones. I love your videos! Thank you for the free art lessons!💖
The third one looks more like a cedar
But, why do you use only dirty water? Won't that mute the colors? I thought you were supposed to have two water sources to rinse in one and use the clean water from the other?
Can you do a row of emerald green arborvitaes
Thanks for this trying to draw a landscape design for my yard. Emerald green arborvitae bordering with a cozy wood bench in front if them. You helped me see depth and shapes better.
Ponderosa pine,cedar,Douglas fir that's what I see.
bonjour tres beau Mimose de Paris
It's fair.
👍🏼💥
👍🏽🎄👍🏽🎄👍🏽🎄👍🏽
This was so incredibly helpful! I really appreciate you, Emma! Thank you so much. You’re such a wonderful teacher. ❤
i agree shes a wonderful teacher
Love these!!!!! 🎄
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!
Man, they look so real! I just want to walk right into your paintings! Thank you so much Emma. You make it seem so easy!
Yes more trees please!
BTW I just received your brush set, and they are my favorites BY FAR. Not only are they stunning to look at, they hold SO much water and pigment and come to the tiniest point…and have excellent “snap”. I just love them, wish I had bought them long ago.👍
I love your tutorials. Thanks especially for the acknowledgment of our different styles
Emma it’s 6am in uk watching,they are really realistic thank you Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄
Hello magnificence
Tall trees look like lodge pole pine. Downward sloping branches look like Norwegian spruce. Upward sloping look like balsam. The less-detailed version looks like a Colorado blue spruce. The taller, full tree recalls the Ponderosa pine. Thanks for the lesson!
Thanks so much Emma, I have tried and tried with fir trees, they have always come out the same, and never been happy with them, I have tried your second method and they are great. Ta so much!
Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I’m a high school student and I have a talent show art competition in 2 weeks. I was practicing with watercolors as I think it may be the easiest but, I forgot to draw trees and now I’m here. This is just what I needed simple trees in the matters of minutes. Thank you very much again❤
Good luck!
Wow they’re awesome looking. Reminds me of the 1: Bald Cypress or Redwood, 2: Blue Spruce, 3: Eastern Cedar, 4: Balsam Fir & 5: Pine, although I am not an expert. Gorgeous variety of evergreens 🌲! Thanks for sharing this wonderful fun video.
I love this tutorial, trees have been such a challenge and frustrating at times (actually most of the time). You make it look so easy but for some reason trees are so difficult. I would love more tree tutorials. Thank you Emma. I just ordered your brush set and am looking forward to using them.
They are all really nice but I especially like #2 when you went back over it. 🎨
Seems to easy when you do it! They re really amazing! Thx from France for your videos!
Love❤
Hey Emma love your channel.. I was just wondering how do you constantly dip your brush inside that same water that looks murky still..and not get your colors changed as you proceed too paint??
Bcuz I feel like when I do it, it gets combined with whatever colors I'm using and it'll have like a muddy color. So I'm constantly trying too SUOER CLEAN OUT MY BRUSHES AND DOING WATER CHANGES EVERY 10- MINUTES
My first two turned out pretty good. Third one looks like Charlie Browns Christmas tree. 😂
Absolutely helpful! I've struggled so long trying to paint winter trees for Christmas trees! Thank you Emma for sharing your passion! Love you from Alabama! ❤
I really enjoyed watching each tree develop. It was very hard to pick a favorite and mine kept changing. In the end, I had to pick two! Numbers 2 and 5. This is the first video of yours that I have watched. I subscribed, and I am looking forward to seeing others. You are an excellent teacher and painter. Thank you so much for this video.
The first is a balsam fir, the third is a northern white cedar. Number 4 is a Norway spruce. 5 is a repeat of number one, balsam fir. Don't know what 2 is.
Amazing as always.
I just thought I'd drop off a note that not all evergreens are coniferous like this. Here on the west coast, we have the amazing arbutus. They're called madrona in the US. They are Canada's only broadleafed evergreen. Their bark sheds in layers all year long, and they grow in directions that even Dr Seuss couldn't have imagined. I promise if you ever get a chance to come out here, you will pee in your pants with how excited you'll be to get to paint these masters of nature.
They only grow within 5 km of the ocean though, so you have to come right out to the coast. The island is covered in these trees.
Noble Fir, Blue Spruce, Frazier Fir, Douglas Fir, Deodor Cedar.
I enjoy your videos, however your arm dipping paint to the left instead of the right side blocks the view for much of the time.
Great tutorial! I am unfortuanately tidy by nature so my trees look robotic. Trying harder to be loose and not symetrical. Merry Christmas little family!
Awesome! You work so quickly and accurately! And you are spot-on about the first one…above timberline trees are more sparse- higher altitude, less oxygen, harsher conditions.
I have no idea what Im doing wrong. Im copying the techniques and it just looks like a mess haha.
Would love to also see a woodland scene with deer rabbit trees water etc 🙏
your trees have such gotten better with time!! please paint more trees!! (evergreens are always so tricky)
Thanks! What kind of paints are you using? So many green choices!
Wonderful video - thank you! New sub here ☺️
Thank you so much.. this tutorial is very helpful
Love this! Thank you for being so detailed and explaining so simply. Love your teaching style!
What number brush did you use for tree 3 and tree 4?
Sooo good I really enjoyed all your ideas… you are very talented🤗 27:18
The 4 one if it had some yellow would look like a tamarack
Loved your video! Thank you so much!
How do you paint evergreens with snow on them?
Make some like village landscape painting.
thank you!! inspired to pick up my paintbrush again! 🌲
What color is that dark green??? 😍
Amazing how different they look from each other. Nice work!
wonderful lesson
Those are all Different species of trees
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Sound but black screen.
