My needed quote: Satisfaction beats money hands down!😴
"Be yourself. Nothing more is ever required." 😊
thank you for your transparency. this was one of the best videos seen.
Ah mamma! This just hit me in the feels and I just wanted to reach out and let you know that you are doing a fantastic job, even on days like today. Your ability to take your bad moment and still inspire others is awe inspiring. Girl! You’ve got this and you are so right….You are capable of amazing things! ❤
Your lettering is impeccable!! Wow im so impressed
I’ve watched you for a long time…off and on…and you’ve come a long way. You look happy now.
Watching those colours slowly run was amazing…. I love your writing too …. Thank you for the tip about flattening warped paper
Hope you all feel better soon.. thanks for making me capable... bless you...
Love this idea to release pressure and have fun. Thank you so much 😊
Awww🤗 Thank you so much that was so calming with the music and the words you wrought were very beautiful and touching thank you so much
This is truly an amazing video. Thank you. I love videos that are therapeutic in nature.
Im so happy I found your channel, I too went to Michaels, bought STUFF… and have been on an art journey that until recently, I didnt realize is Art Therapy. Im on a healing journey and have found painting to be my happy, calm and desired place to be. Im doing well, I love painting… Im not good at it but I love it!
Just what my soul needed today. Thank you
One of your best videos!
You are so inspiring, thank you for being so open and genuine honest.
"Your hard work will pay off."
My mom has always said this to me and some days it is easier to believe than others but I always try to try. I am not always successful at trying, especially when I feel very depressed. I have suffered from depression for a long time and it took a lot of that time to finally admit it and seek help. For me, meds have been an actual life saver and I know they aren't for everyone. Thank you for sharing this. I've been wondering what I want to paint today and this settled it for me
😊❤
Nothing like some good ole art therapy to chase the blues away. Thank you.
Emma never doubt yourself, you and your painting are amazing ! thank you for sharing it all with us xx
Oh, I needed that today... Intense energies flying around. I feel like going to sleep and wake up when this transition time is over... Thank you!
I can do this! Relaxing music and painting was very enjoyable. Thank you!
I need this to just relax. Sometimes the stress in life needs to be released and this is a way to do it. THANK YOU EMMA❤️
Thank you for the inspiration Emma. May you have a wonderful week doing amazing things. ❤
So beautiful n such a great idea!! 💖
Thank u for sharing this Its exactly what i needed!
Ive been wanting to paint but havent felt well enough n ive been repeating Isaiah 41:10 a lot today through some awful n scary symptoms, so now I can put them together in something like this! ☺
Thank you again for sharing.
I really hope everyone's feeling better n this week would be great for all of you! 🌸
This is my favorite kind of painting. No pressure. It’s wonderful to see how it turns out. And then I make cards out of them! Your doing a great job. It’s hard to do what you do. It takes a lot of courage.
Life is so hard sometimes! This is such a good idea! Thank you, Emma.
When I was in a deep depression, these words were what I meditated on, and they gave me such hope because I found it didn’t all depend on me.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13
Yes, indeedy
Thanks Emma for sharing this. I have been feeling very low for few weeks. I find watercolour painting a therapy.
Thank you, Emma. What a wonderful way to start the week.
Perfect. Tomorrow I will do this and my quote will be, "This, too, Belongs".
One of my favorite quotes.
"Wherever you put your thoughts that is what will bloom."
What do you want to bloom?
I love just putting paint on the paper! No stress, just fun.
Thank you Emma. Perfect for a Monday morning . You are an unrepeatable inspiration to me.
Happy Monday! Love this thank you 😊
I actually need watercolor therapy today! It’s been very busy with the busy not letting up till after Christmas, but I have just this day to have a little R and R with you and watercolor, thank you💕💕💕💕 you write so beautifully with a paintbrush!
Hi. You have a lovely day! 💗
You are very inspiring. Thank you :)
❤️
My favourite quote is "What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?"
Exactly what I needed today. Thanks!
Thanks for this encouragement! Apparently I needed it because it brought me to tears😊
This is really lovely, Emma. There were a few times when you were creating the background that I thought “if she let it dry now, it would be a cool starting place for a landscape”. Have you ever thought of trying this to do something like that? Create a spontaneous landscape from the background that the paints give you? I’d love to see it 😊
Amazing writing!
This is me since September. I have created over 40 paintings. It's mesmerizing and brings me a form of comfort .
Thank you Emma for always being so honest with us….you inspire us more than you know 💐💞
✨❤️✨ thank you Emma, Wish you a heartwarming day
Love this idea to get painting 🖌️. I have two quotes first one is believe in everyday miracles because they happen all around us. And my second quote is by Casey kasem "Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the Stars". Thank you for sharing these amazing ideas with us
Beautifully done and absolutely true, Emma!!❤️
Such a beautiful video! Thank you for sharing it. I’ll be trying this soon. ❤️
Blue Monday, thanks I needed that!
So beautiful and uplifting. Thanks very much for sharing.
Lovely. Thank you for this.
Very nice, thanks👍
You are a gift to many. I appreciate you.
You need not doubt yourself. You are amazing and capable of incredible things. I love your transparency and honesty. So many of us need to know we are not Alone in experiencing these struggles in life. I’m going to paint some backgrounds today (and not write on them because I don’t have that talent!) and use them for cards.
It’s bedtime here now but really enjoyed this video. 💖
Love this ❤
P.S. you're fonts are AWESOME!!!
Fabulous you.!!
This hits home, thank you for being so open and vulnerable ☺️ Your videos are important to me personally and I always (as you say)“learn something”. In another recent video you spoke about why you paint what you paint, this really resonated with me. I’m also a former Kindergarten teacher, so I find your manner of teaching, well, perfect. You also said to paint what you like. That made so much sense! I’ve taken instructions on painting what I’m not interested in and, to no surprise, the paintings are forced, no fun and really suck. I’ve learned a ton from you and really believe I can paint. Oh, my encouraging saying of late is, “How human of me”. I haven’t painted it yet, but I will.
Beautiful
Thank you for this uplifting lesson. Emma, you are doing an inspiring job and I appreciate you. Take care
You brought amazing to me!!! So Beautiful !!
Beautiful lettering!
thank you for your honesty in all you shared with us today! really beautiful
Amazing! Thank you!
Your very awesome Emma! To have the whole house sick, still come and encourage us is truly amazing. Every day you amaze and inspire me even when I can't lift a brush watching you lifts me up so much.
You truly are and today's video is exactly what I needed and I've been trying to learn calligraphy from the happy crafter and yourself and I'm gonna have a go! So thank you for making a blurgh day into a creative one 🙌 🙏 ❤
Blown away!! I really didn’t think I’d like this lesson!!
You Always amaze me!! This turned out so beautifully!! I’m so grateful for you and your generous talents!!
This is what I need to hear right now: "I'm buying your brushes and electronic photoshop downloads" - EJL
Thanks ❤
love it
I love it!!! 🤗
Loved this video. You made my day 🤍
Just subbed your channel. But I wonder...isn't it obvious you are capable of doing amazing things? You have a lovely channel, a lovely personality, a beautiful family, you created wonderful brushes and soon you will create art boxes! Just WOW! Isn't all of that just freaking amazing :-)!
omg your anxiety story is the same as mine!
Thank you, Emma, this is just lovely and uplifting.
I want to post a public service announcement in case it helps anybody out. Because in my experience, people who need this information will tend to hang out in comment sections like this. So just sharing, in hopes it may reach even just one person who needs it.
Suffering from depression/anxiety? Women and introverts are more likely to be undiagnosed for neurodivergencies like ADHD and autism. Because of this, the help we receive for depression/anxiety may not be sufficient. There are many reasons why the option of neurodivergency is often not considered.
Firstly, because (women's) symptoms may show up differently, secondly because the stereotypes for these neurodivergencies are misleading, and thirdly because many medical professionals are not properly informed either.
So many people, especially women, get incorrectly diagnosed with (only) depression/anxiety, when more may be at play. We often get diagnosed later in life, often after life events have caused our life-long coping mechanisms to collapse. For example, after moving out, writing a dissertation, getting our first big job, starting a family, getting fired, getting a major illness.
This may show up as feelings of loss of control, extreme feelings of loneliness or rejection, overwhelm, physical and mental exhaustion, and literal inability to do anything (which can be known as ADHD paralysis or task inertia).
A major problem is that these are not listed as diagnostic criteria. So even though they are common issues encountered by people with ADHD and/or autism, they are often not recognized or even known by medical professionals.
Want to know more? For ADHD, check out the 'How to ADHD' youtube channel and the 'ADHD Alien' comic. Both are super valuable, because they are created by people with ADHD, they are based on science, but also depict and discuss real life struggles and experiences.
I'm not autistic myself, so I can't judge which sources are equally reliable sources for that. However, I've found both communities are quite active on tumblr in providing real-life actual information. So that may be a good place to start.
If some of the information you encounter rings a bell, I hope you can find help from your doctor and/or a psychologist.
If that's not possible (right away), I hope at least the recognition of what causes your struggles can relieve some of the guilt and provide coping skills. Or even just hope for the future. Being neurodivergent makes life difficult, but knowing the source of these difficulties truly helps in making life and loving ourselves a bit easier.
Hey Emma: Any suggestions for how I can stop amassing "ideas" to paint & just get down to painting everyday? I am now retired - also suffer from depression & social anxiety - but I consider myself an "artist". I search Pinterest etc a lot and save lots of photos etc - and say to myself - boy I would like to paint that...but I always find excuses to not paint. I want to do this art thing full-time - but I find it hard to carve out the time - even though I am a widow with 4 little dogs. I am home most of the time - and should be able to sit and paint for hours - but something is stopping me - I love your videos, I love your story and I would love to be able to do what you do full-time. Thank you and sorry for rambling.
I can't answer your question but I suffer from the same thing. Lots of ideas, books, paints, paper, brushes ... All just sitting there waiting to be used. Sometimes I think I feel guilty for doing something pleasurable and sometimes I'm afraid it won't be good enough. (Not sure who will think it's not good enough, I guess just me.)
I need to do this myself, but my first thought is, Schedule it!! One day a week, or every morning, whatever thought pleases you, just make up your mind that on those mornings (when you're freshest), or afternoons, you will sit down with some supplies, and you'll commit to spending 15 minutes being creative. See how it grows from there.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️ ~~~~~~
Love this. Thank you so much for sharing. I am absolutely going to paint these on cards. Great idea.
Not Monday for me yet. But it’s a lovely video to watch 🥰
Hi Emma, could you tell us more about your watercolor journey? Did you have any art backgrounds before you started watercolor? ❤
She says she has a vid about that. I need to get around to watching it one of these days
Amazing work!
wonderful sharing
Emma, you are amazing! You have the gift of art which you share so generously. Also you have this other gift and that is to make us feel we are not alone enduring difficult times. You are like a helping hand lifting us up on our feet when we stumble. Thank you for being YOU! God bless you and your family.
Love this so much ❤
I can never thank you enough for videos like this as Art Therapy is what got me into watercolor and thus had me finding you!! Beautiful piece you did here! The last one I did said "you got this".. I look at it every day. Thank you again for this video & for being courageous enough to always share your story!! 💙💜❤
You inspire us
🌻
Beautiful ❤️ I would like to paint 🎨🖌️ that letters like that with brush...!!
You are amazing! Therefore, you are capable of amazing things! My quote is in Hebrew.. Gam zeh ya'avur.... which means "this too shall pass". I am heartbroken right now because we lost our beloved kitty on Friday.
What are those lovely colours behind you on the wall? Thanks.
Did you paint outside your house sometimes? To get inspiration?
You're hand lettering is beautiful. Would you consider a tutorial?
⚾️ very interesting!
That blue is magical. What color is that?
I feel the same 😢
😃✨️ oooooooooo!!!! pretty!!!!!!
Enjoy your videos ,what was the white paint called you used in the lettering and the black pen for lettering,and what kind of brush you used And what size,thank you for your instructions
The white paint is Dr pH Martin' s bleed proof white.
Just a teeny tiny jar, but really opaque and will last long
🤗
Chia sẽ rất hay 👍
😊😊😊
🍀🙏
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
“ I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
I noticed you set your coffee cup down close to your water jars. Have you ever accidentally dipped your brush in your coffee instead of your water? 😂 Something I’m sure I’d do!!
Hello magnificence
I'm so happy I found you! You've addressed so much I needed to know & thank you for your kindness. You are a JOY!
