    Making several Christmas cards with this basic landscape this Christmas.
    I did mine with watercolors, but painted the snow with white gouache.

    Thanks Emma for sharing your tip of painting trees. Before watching this video, I was always wondering why my trees don't turn out right, but now its very clear to me. Thank you so much!

    Thank you so much for this truly helpful lesson. Some of the things I liked: explicit instruction, unencumbered by music or extraneous chatter, leaving instructions clear and step by step. I liked that you paused for illustration/clarification of instructions - like when you showed why/how too much water made background trees fat and blurry. You didn’t just wow us with your artistry but helped us develop our own. I’m a novice, and this finished product was the first one that looks a lot like what I see on the screen - something to be proud of.

    You are amazing! Not only a fabulous artist - but also a really great teacher. Very few artists can convey how & what they do - so clearly. Thank you so much. You belong at a Liberal Arts College - teaching.

    You are my go-to watercolor artist! I just started painting a little over a month ago and have learned so much from you! The best thing I gleaned up to this point was your comment: "Never throw away a painting...always finish it!" I'm so glad I listened to you! I wanted to throw out my very first landscape but remembered what you said and I am so glad I did! It turned out so well! Thank you! Loved doing this wintry forest scene - it is so pretty!

    One of my favorite landscape to do on a card is snow and evergreens... I add a subtle shimmer to mine on the snow... I like watching new techniques with horizons.... you are always very inspiring! Beautiful watercolor as always☕👍💖

    I LOVE your videos. You make everything easier to understand, and I love the way you explain why we are doing what we are doing. I started watching your videos about 2 weeks ago during chemo and I have been hooked ever since. Watercolor is a great way to take your mind off of things and also relax and have some fun while learning something new! Thank you so much for sharing your time with all of us. I know you are busy with your adorable son😍

    Thank you..... I am making bookmarks for a friend and I wanted to do a snow scene...and wella it popped up on my screen and I just finished two of them! Had to do it with very small brush and only one big tree! It came out just what I wanted it to. I embossed "Let it Snow" at the bottom! Loved how it turned out, I love your way of sharing your talent with us! Have a wonderful holiday season! Rebecca

    omg, I've watched this over and over and it never occurred to me that I painted such a nice winter painting a few years back in oils it was when you said IDK if you can see this meaning the snow that it reminded it me that I could give that as a gift to someone special wow I can't believe I've forgotten about it ... but the snow came out really cool I've put all my paintings away and have forgotten about them. now time to get them framed.

    Beautiful! I love your misty forest tutorial and this one is even better! Can't wait to try this. Thanks for the little mini teaching lesson on water control. My favorite thing about your tutorials is the fact you explain what you are doing, why, and if you make a mistake... how to fix it. I do not like tutorials with just music and no explanation. I guess I need both visual and audio to understand better how to do things!
