Hullo Emily, I enjoyed this video so much ! Thanks for sharing this lovely bird painting. It is not often a real-time painting is shared here on TH-cam! Thanks!

[@ErinEnoArt]

It’s unbelievable how you accomplish such a beautiful and detailed painting in under 22 minutes! Stunning!!!

[@gregoryblock5895]

Bravo, Emily! One of my greatest inspirations has long been David Allen Sibley (of the Sibley Guide to Birds). His facility with watercolors to accurately portray thousands of bird species boggles the mind...but you so beautifully and dexterously demonstrate how such magic can be achieved. Thank you!

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

Wow, thank you Gregory! I don’t think that my paintings come close to David Allen Sibley’s, but that’s very kind of you! It was a delight conversing with you last night! 💕

[@gregoryblock5895]

@@EmilyOlsonArt I beg to differ, but let's not sully the comments with nasty bickering!😂 Great to talk with you, I'll look forward to the next video!

[@blueoctopus6]

Thank you for a great tutorial. I love the close ups you give of the brush strokes.

[@irenedeprov]

I just painted robin maybe a month ago because my daughter adores robins. Mine turned out more like a book illustration and yours is much more realistic. Both beautiful ❤

[@maryellenpike9402]

Beautiful!! I really appreciate all the information you give and zooming in on your work, very helpful! Thank you!

[@ChantelleArts]

what a gorgeous tutorial, I love it ☺☺

[@roxannerosecrans4441]

Fantastic tutorial! I really appreciate the reinforcement of water control. I'm so bad at it. Awesome 👍

[@TalArt777]

Beautiful bird painting

[@dianeo]

So cute and informative. Good tips about having hard lines as well as 'lost edges' and avoiding the 'cauliflower' effect with the dampness level of your brush. Thank you! I had to get a couple of those sweet sketchbooks (using your link).

[@Natalieleu]

Beautiful, thank you for sharing your talent ❤️❤️

[@ZeeCeeCreations]

Lovely, Emily!

[@azdaisysmixes]

My goodness, Emily. The amount of tips and how they can be applied to other subjects is incredible… If only you could be in my mind talking me thru every thing I attempt to paint. 🤣 I think i just came up w an idea for AI developers to consider implementing.

[@corinnayorke2422]

Beautiful! Thank you for this wonderful tutorial.

[@NormaYuce]

beautiful. you make it look easy

[@sherylchapman4168]

So beautiful! I’d forgotten how important it is to use the very tip of the brush to create accuracy!

[@trisht5064]
