This is gorgeous, I think watercolor always adds a touch of dream-like softness to realism that helps it come across more as art than photo. Definitely a beautiful piece of artwork you've created here. I can't wait to see what you do in the future :)
2 hours!!! Thats mind blowing to me. It takes me two hours to do just a very basic none realistic watercolor painting. Definitely gove me goals to look up to.
Coming from a background of painting in acrylics and oils its amazing to me to see watercolors can have such a detailed painting like that. It looks amazing! thanks for your hard work and detailed paintings! Im subscribing!!
I AM A BEGINNER AND WISH TO PAINT AS REALISTIC AS YOU DO EMILY! GORGEOUS ATTENTION TO DETAIL...THOSE EYES LOOK AS THOUGH THEY WILL BLINK ANY SECOND! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TO SHOW US BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK.
Great tips! While I appreciate the skills and patience required to make something look like a photo, I really prefer my paintings to look like paintings. Still, I strive for realism, and it is SO much harder in watercolor than it is in other mediums.
This is beautiful work! I’m just learning to draw and paint and one thing it’s teaching me is patience, which I’m going to have to learn a lot of to paint realism such as this. I’m glad that I found your channel.
This painting is sooo amazing! I'm a cat person and enjoyed this very much Emily! love your work and this one is gorgeous! your painting is more beautiful than the original photo because of that dreamy watercolor effect... i always wondered how to paint the whishers and I love your technique :) I would probably use white ink pen ;) Thank you very much for sharing this beauty! 😍💖☺️ Marija
Oh my! This is stunning. You are a beautiful watercolor artist. So happy I found you. I see you have a bunch of videos. Hooray! 🎉 Happy watching for me! ❤️
Your control of watercolor is amazing! I know its a spontaneous medium but I still struggle to get it to do at least half of what I'm hoping for when I lay it down.
Excellebt tips, i want to try this for my dog and cat. My dog has brindle and my cat calico..l.but patience is key i guess and masking fluid...i need fo get some of that for sure. Tyvm
Oh Emily, this is flat out gorgeous! You’re an amazing artist. So happy I found your channel. This was a bit hard for me to watch because we had to put our sweet kitty Peaches to sleep this week on Wednesday. She rapidly became ill with pancreatitis and we couldn’t stand to see her suffer. She was the sweetest kitty we ever had, and I’ll miss her everyday. She was 15 years old. Thank you for sharing your talent. Look forward to your other videos. Blessings to you!
For this one, yes, I used transfer paper for the drawing. I try to make very light marks, though, so as not to leave dents in the paper or harsh dark graphite lines.
I'm considering your art lessons, you are an amazing watercolorists. Do you give traceable outlines for all your tutorials? I'm advanced in watercolor if I have an outline, but my drawing skills are terrible.
You made it look so easy
It's looks like a real cat in a photo, I will try to paint like you this weekend. Thank you for showing us. Cheers Emily

Thank you for your kind comment, and I am so very sorry about your kitty! ❤️
Can I do the whickers with white gauche over the background? (I don't have masking fluid)
Btw awesome video ♥️
Yes, you sure could!
Loved this! Beautiful job! Thank you so much for sharing your technique!
Very beautiful and realistic. Eventually I’m planning on doing a watercolor painting of my cat. This helps a lot. ❤️
Wonderful!
You are amazing, so fun to learn from. Thanks for sharing your skills!! Beautiful!
Just found your channel. I love watching you paint. I try to paint realistic and your tips are very helpful.
Welcome, and so glad the videos are helpful!
Wow!!!!!!!!!! I am glad to find your chanel!
Thanks!!
Love this 👌
Did you trace the original photo and include all the stripes etc?
For this one, yes, I used transfer paper for the drawing. I try to make very light marks, though, so as not to leave dents in the paper or harsh dark graphite lines.
Hello! I have a question. If I don't have masking fluid, what can I do for the white whiskers or other white areas? Thanks.
I actually just made a video all about whiskers! You can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/QAWYlV43EnA/w-d-xo.html
@@EmilyOlsonArt Thanks!
Wow that's good.
Thank youuu so much I learned 💕
I’m so glad!
Question: what is the best way to paint a maltipoo with long curly hair?
All of your videos are awesome!! I think that you should sketch the things that you are going to paint in the video!!
Thanks for your kind comment! I do have a few videos that include the sketch. :)
Really really nice 😊
Thanks a lot 😊
Sae sae ning....
You are amazing 💕💕💕
Thank you!
I'm considering your art lessons, you are an amazing watercolorists. Do you give traceable outlines for all your tutorials? I'm advanced in watercolor if I have an outline, but my drawing skills are terrible.
Yes! There are traceable line drawings with every course. :)
