    Thank you, Emma. You explained the breakdown of this method so well. I just have to remind myself to slow down, let it dry (or dry it) in between and have fun!

    The timing on this is ridiculously perfect! I literally just asked my sister for pictures of her orchids because I wanted to try learn to paint them! Laughed when I saw this video title, too perfect!!!
    Thank you

    Thanks Emma for demystifying the orchid for me. I was in Hawaii visiting my daughter and took wonderful pictures of them but I have been totally intimidated by their complexity so didn't attempt to draw or paint them. After your tutorial I now feel like I can attempt drawing and painting from my beautiful pictures. Thank you for breaking the process down and simplifying it like you do. I also really appreciate the way you use the wet in wet techniques, and show how you manage the water in your brush by drying it before blending things out. I have learned so much from your approach.

    Loved, loved, loved this tutorial! It came out same day as my own orchids bloomed, almost the same color too. I can’t wait to try this it is so beautiful! Thank you again for a great painting. Also love your new fringe. Loved seeing your son as well. He is so perfect! I have two grown sons. They grew up so fast and now living their lives. Enjoy every moment. Even the teaching times. We are all experiencing “TIME OUT” so it’s time to learn and teach. We will all look back and remember how well we handled it. Love from Florida.🏝💖

    Hi Emma, this is by far my favorite video of yours!!!
    I’ve been absent for a while and I just wanted to let you know how amazing it is to see how much you have grown and progressed since I watched last. Your painting is beautiful as ever and your instruction is so perfectly administered. Even your videography and editing has greatly improved! What a pleasure to be able to watch you bring more beauty into the world. Thank you for your hard work and the time you put in to help us💕 all learn too😁

    A really beautiful painting and a super lesson, thank you. I learned a great deal, and it was extra inspiring to try some of your shading techniques as I have just retired and have a "farewell" vase of lilies sitting right next to me. I do enjoy your son being included .... one of these days we'll doubtless be hearing "Mum? I can't find the car keys!" in the background, or better still "Mum! Where did you put my ultramarine?"

    Emma, I can't believe how delicate and detailed you were able to make these orchids! You have incredibly steady hands. I am still struggling to get the kind of wonderful blending that you manage to achieve - Practice, practice, practice, Right?...;-)

    You have an amazing talent for taking flowers by they’re parts and putting them together on paper blending them, to look so realistic. I have no talent for drawing, but I think I can learn from you❣️( If you take requests...I would love to Learn how to paint Snow Drops. They are not very common here in Southern California, but I ordered some by mail and they grow and spread in my garden. Here and in more seasonal climates they are the first to appear in Spring. Maybe they’re more common in Canada, they are as delicate as their name.Please consider this😊

      Karen T. Mine seem to have lasted a while. Sometimes I just need to manipulate it a bit more with water. Make sure not to leave it in your water jar for long periods of time. Either dry it flat or even better, upside down

    Just want you to know I have been going crazy. Literally. Not just Quarantine but serious health issues. I used to do traditional art. But haven’t felt good so been doing procreate on my iPad. My pencil broke. So I haven’t been able to do art or feel well enough to sit at my art desk. Yesterday I was so depressed I literally planned to kill myself today. Then this morning woke up a little better. Saw your tutorial and I feel like I can actually do this in bed. Your teaching style is so nice and calm and right up my alley. Thank you for taking the time to do this. You probably don’t know the lives you touch. But today you just may have saved a life cause I don’t feel the way I felt yesterday. Thank you!
