Hey everyone, I am so glad you are enjoying this video and I plan to do more like this in the future! keep an eye out for a UA-cam post of when the next round of art submissions will be accepted! I absolutely love helping you guys out with your watercolour skills in anyway way I can! Thank you all so much for the love
I really liked this video. More please!
Yes, more of these videos!
I loved this video and learned so much. Very much looking forward to more of them!
Learning alot from your videos! Tk u
Very helpful! More, please.
Hi Emma ... ironically, this is what you’ve been teaching us along BUT when I watched the comparisons, it hit home even more! Beginners always seem to struggle with the same general things like evenly spacing things and making things in patterns. We need to trick our art brain to work around this. Fantastic idea. You are a wonderful teacher and we really appreciate you.
An excellent and authentic lesson! I love that you care about us fledglings as we embark into watercolors at an early stage. You are a beautiful, talented teacher. Thank you for caring about others and offering this lesson. 🥰
Yes, please do more of these! It really helps us see better! Thanks Emma!
Emma this sort of 'watercolour clinic' is SO valuable. Most watercolour youtubers don't have that value-add. I am part of a patreon for another watercolour artist and there is nothing this personal and useful on there. Definitely one of your USPs!
Please more of this type, fast strokes and hopefully learning! The faster the looser I’m learning! I watch you and I think I am learning! Thanks and you are a wonderful teacher!🙋♀️🌈Karen Dirmish
This was a great video! Thank you to the artists who submitted their work - all very good art! ❤️
Yes please! these are helpful and fun to watch.
This video was really helpful! Loved how you walked through all the submitted artwork and showed how to make the necessary corrections. I would love to see more videos like this. You are a great teacher, explaining everything so well.
Thank you to all who submitted, and to Emma Jane for clearly addressing these questions. I learned a lot that I can apply to my paintings
Yes do more of these. I learned more in this video than I have learned from watching many others. Great info. Thanks.
LOVE how you shared other artists struggles!!! great to see how you help us!!! More videos like this!!!
she is a good art teacher. Her instructions are very clear and easy to understand.
Very helpful format. Enjoyed watching you address our struggles.
Thank you. Welearn from each other. Play with our art. So we can see and learn. Thank you again.
Yes, more videos with suggested corrections! Very helpful!!!
I like this type of tutorial where you show the struggles and then how to correct them! Very helpful!
I am loving your lessons. You can teach an old dog new tricks. I am 69 and just beginning watercolors. I painted with oils for years but I am so excited about this new form. You have been so helpful and you have brought great joy into my life. Thank you. I may even join Instagram just to know more. Now back to what you are teaching. Keep up the great inspirational work.
I loved example #2, not as a bouquet, but as an example of an illustrative style. Viewing her painting from that point of view, I think it is gorgeous. Perhaps that is the style that suits her the most.
great and thanks to those that had the courage to submit their work
That was terrific, Emma. I particularly liked the way you showed making the picture pop with ‘depth’ darker colour.
Wow! Very useful! A heartfelt thank you to all the artists who submitted their work. Emma you are so generous with your advice. Thank you for investing such effort.
This was a great video, thanks for sharing 💜
Invaluable information Emma! Agree that there is no bad art, but not everyone agrees. Tough noogies , I say! Everyone has their own style. Can you please do more on composition. I’m struggling with this sometimes. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you!
You are awesome, and a natural teacher. Beautiful roses!
Never tire of your informative tutorials. Thank you Emma. x
Funny thing for me is, I KNOW all these concepts. I studied fine art in high school and college, and am trying to get back into it 20 years later. I never really gravitated toward watercolor back then (I was a pen & ink, pastel type of artist). I recently just took an 8-week watercolor course at a local art gallery.
Even though I KNOW these concepts, applying them is easier said than done. And not getting frustrated when you make mistakes over and over!!! Wasting paper and supplies :)
I appreciate the time you took in this video. It was interesting to include your Instagram follower's submissions. I just went and followed you on Instagram myself. Looking forward to more videos as I keep on going (frustratingly) with my watercolor. Thanks!!!
This was very helpful! Please do more! Can't wait!
Emma, your blue rose drawing is beautiful! Thank you for your ideas.
Yes, please show more work submissions & struggles. This was so helpful! Thank you so much.
Thank you young lady I finally found a video that is easy for me to understand. Love the way you teach. ❤
Amazing you are such a helpful lady. Your Daisy was fabulous, I'm definitely going to have a go at one of them after watching you ❤
Yes please! More. So helpful!
Yes more vids! This is a huge help! Thank you!
Emma, I can see that teaching is definitely your thing. You have explained all the problems and how to correct them so well. I’ve learnt a lot from this video even though I have been painting for some time now. You never stop learning! Thanks for a great video.
More would be great! It was very helpful! Thank you!
Thank you Sooo much Emma jane. Thank u for sharing us your talent
Please do more like this. It really helps!
Emma beautiful watercolour and you are very good teacher ! thank you
This was such a great idea! Even though we know these things in theory, seeing the comparisons were SUPER helpful! 👍😁
Yes please! That was so helpful. Thank you so much.
Very helpful to hear your comments and then see you demonstrate how to improve. Thank you.
This was awesome. Yes. Would love to see more....please
Awesome! Great learning experience. Please do more. Thank you!
I would love to see more of these videos this one was very helpful thank you.
Emma, thank you! A great big THANK YOU! This is so very helpful!
This video has been very helpful for me and my husband. I subscribed after this one. We'd like to see more of these kind of videos. Thank you so much. My warmest regards
Thank you Emma for the good tips and to all who submitted work. I have a long way to go but will persevere x
Yes please show us more! Its so helpful
Thanks so much Emma. Very helpful. You are a great teacher. Keep up the great work. 💝👏
Great idea and very helpful. Lost see your finished landscapes!
YOU are such a good teacher!!! LOVE YOUR STYLE!!
I think these critiques are really helpful for everyone. Thank you
You have helped me immensely! I may not be there yet but with your encouragement I'll get there. Thanks so much. Need more of this type of tutorial.
This was VERY useful! Please do more videos like this! Thank you!
Ooo i love the second one..it reminds me of a field of flowers
I really loved this Emma and I’d love to see more of these kind of corrective videos. Thank you.😊
Yes! Would like to see more of the "struggles" videos
TThis was a great video to help artists see solutions for problems they are having. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Thanks
this was a huge help to me yesterday in painting some winter floral bundles
I loved this lesson! I am was not aware of your request. I usually watch you on UA-cam first thing in the morning. When I turned it on this morning and I was so happy to see your subjects. I struggle with leaf leaf placement and water control. I am very much a beginner but truly have learned so much from your videos. I intend to try practicing using your lessons. Thank for teaching me I can draw and paint a little for fun and relaxation.❤️
This was so helpful ! thanks to the people who’s example you used. I had the same issues.. yes please more videos like this one. Hugs
Love to see fixes. I think it is fun and so helpful. Giving me courage to get going!
That tutorial was sooooo informative and so needed for me. I was not getting the layering and shading concepts.
I learned to go from light to dark! This adds the definition and contrast that I was looking for in my work.
Thank you EmJ !!! Your teachings are so well worked through and the pieces that your other followers sent in were representative of my exact struggles with Water Color Painting right now!!! Thanks, you helped me out a great deal.
Love it! Like you said, all good art. Your suggestions are wonderful for all of us to see.
Loved it. Do more please I learn so much each time from you
So helpful! I hope you continue with more videos like this ✌🏻
Very helpful! Yes! Do more!!
Can I ask why the roses and leaves are the same colour. As you never see blue roses thankyou
Thank you so much Emma Jane... Sharing ur knowledge.. 😍
EXCELLENT AND HELPFUL!!! please do MORE vids like this😉
Great instructions! Thanks to all the artist who participated and Emma for the critiques
Emma you are a great teacher!. This was a wonderful video. I really learn important things. Lerning by comparison is the BEST idea!!!
Oh my HECK I love love love this video! The examples look so much like my art. Thank you for helping me take it to the next level. I can't wait to re-try the same painting in the new technique.
Wow! I get answers to so many of doubts. I am a beginner and new subscriber to your channel and handle. Would love to see more such videos. Thank you Emma for making us better. ❤️
You have definitely hit on a great way to teach! When I watch you, I feel like it's just' magic' and I can't see what I'm doing wrong.... but when I see specifically how others struggle, it reall starts to feel 'real'.
Great video 👌, for bigger piece you can use a fine mist water bottle too, I let the water sit for a minute , spray and swipe brush around again to make sure it's nicely wet but not pooling.
Your work is really great thank you .. 😍 unfortunately too many people dont know that half of watercolour work depends on the type of paper .. i have worked hard on watercolour and watching too many watercolour tutorials but now one said that i have to choose some special paper with special thickness.. and then i knew that i have to choose the right paper .. that time my watercolour paints starts to be professional 😍♥️
Thank you for this informative tutorial. You are a wonderful teacher and artist. Really enjoy watching so keep them coming
What a great video! Your approach is positive and helpful - such a good teacher.
YES this is TREMENDOUSLY helpful!! Like you said there's no such thing as a bad painting, yet part of the reason I subscribe to your channel is because I love your style, and getting specific about how YOU achieve the effects in YOUR artwork is so much more useful because it's much less generic and is immediately applicable
So so helpful and inspiring, I’m not a flower person but now want to try a few, thank you!!!
Wow! Gorgeous! I have the same issue with roses/flowers, I’m too structured. This is adorable!
Loved the video. So helpful! Thanks to the artists who submitted their work. I learned a lot
Loved this kind of tutorial. Manu thanks. Kisses from Brazil.
Wow! Thank you so much for doing this video. Your comparisons really helped me see the difference and understand how I could make my paintings look better. This is truly the most helpful video on watercolor painting that I've ever seen and I'm so grateful! I hope you continue to do this type of video at least once in a while. 🙏 You are a wonderful teacher. Thanks again ❤
It was very helpful to see the "structured" leaves & flowers painted more loosely. Really learned a lot! Thanks.
Yes, please do more. Loved seeing how to correct a completed work (like the deer and violets).
You’re a great tutor very charming .I have to add your paintings are so free and easy looking , I’m definitely. Going to give it a try 💕
I love your videos. They are always so clear and helpful. But this one was even more so. As other people said, I think the comparisons really helped illustrate what you were explaining. Thank you!!!
Love this video!! Please do part 2,3,4 and so on. It's Soo helpful
Excellent demos! Thank you! Would love to see more videos like this one!!
You are amazing girl! Thank you! 🌼
