I love evergreens but still unable to accomplish their beauty. Love your video and especially having your pallet visible. It helps so much to see how you load your brush. That is much more helpful than videos that are about loading your brush. Love your videos. Thanks so much.
Absolutely helpful! I've struggled so long trying to paint winter trees for Christmas trees! Thank you Emma for sharing your passion! Love you from Alabama! ❤
Evergreen trees are my nemesis and I’m from Canada, so it’s like I’m some sort of grinchy anti-lumberjack or something else mean! I think this will be my winter goal… to get comfortable with painting evergreen trees. Every time I see you do it, you make me believe I can… so I’m just going to fill up pages and pages with these trees. It’s muscle memory that will make it happen, I guess. BTW, I lived in Yellowknife for over a decade and trees are pretty scruffy and small up there (mostly jackpine) and they look just like the one you did with the upturned branches. They made awesome Charlie Brown Christmas trees if you didn’t mind freezing your digits off cutting one down!
as a forester in northern BC, I struggle with painting conifers! Mostly because I spend so much time looking at the real thing and each species has its own overall growth shape, branch character, needles and variations of green. I love how Emma has done a few variations (the second one could be a young, open grown Douglas-fir -lol), and pines are a real challenge.
Yes more trees please! BTW I just received your brush set, and they are my favorites BY FAR. Not only are they stunning to look at, they hold SO much water and pigment and come to the tiniest point…and have excellent “snap”. I just love them, wish I had bought them long ago.👍
Wow they’re awesome looking. Reminds me of the 1: Bald Cypress or Redwood, 2: Blue Spruce, 3: Eastern Cedar, 4: Balsam Fir & 5: Pine, although I am not an expert. Gorgeous variety of evergreens 🌲! Thanks for sharing this wonderful fun video.
I really enjoyed watching each tree develop. It was very hard to pick a favorite and mine kept changing. In the end, I had to pick two! Numbers 2 and 5. This is the first video of yours that I have watched. I subscribed, and I am looking forward to seeing others. You are an excellent teacher and painter. Thank you so much for this video.
Great video and so easy to watch. I love how you explained every step of the way and I’m confident I can master at least one if not more of these trees!
Awesome! You work so quickly and accurately! And you are spot-on about the first one…above timberline trees are more sparse- higher altitude, less oxygen, harsher conditions.
Thanks so much Emma, I have tried and tried with fir trees, they have always come out the same, and never been happy with them, I have tried your second method and they are great. Ta so much!
Amazing as always. I just thought I'd drop off a note that not all evergreens are coniferous like this. Here on the west coast, we have the amazing arbutus. They're called madrona in the US. They are Canada's only broadleafed evergreen. Their bark sheds in layers all year long, and they grow in directions that even Dr Seuss couldn't have imagined. I promise if you ever get a chance to come out here, you will pee in your pants with how excited you'll be to get to paint these masters of nature. They only grow within 5 km of the ocean though, so you have to come right out to the coast. The island is covered in these trees.
I love this tutorial, trees have been such a challenge and frustrating at times (actually most of the time). You make it look so easy but for some reason trees are so difficult. I would love more tree tutorials. Thank you Emma. I just ordered your brush set and am looking forward to using them.
Loving the way you show two ways to do trees! At first did the branches “even” but when looked at them no tree branches are perfect & now some are actually (sometimes) looking like real ones but see need more practice! Tyvm as they seem easy but are not! Doing that lil swipe under the trunks is a great tip!
Thank you so much! I’m a high school student and I have a talent show art competition in 2 weeks. I was practicing with watercolors as I think it may be the easiest but, I forgot to draw trees and now I’m here. This is just what I needed simple trees in the matters of minutes. Thank you very much again❤
I love Painting trees as well. I can't believe how much difference adding those shadows really made. I think that's what I'm doing wrong, not adding enough/ any shadows. Thank you for another great video. I absolutely love your teaching style and I usually learn something new each video.
I love doing trees, too! I used to sit in my bedroom and draw the tree out in my backyard on my chalkboard easel over and over again. It's a little different with watercolors but no less rewarding! More trees!!! :D
Such a helpful video! I just recently realized how often I am painting evergreen trees. But they always look the same. I love how you showed us five different styles. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for this Emma I am such a beginner but I could follow along and get trees! So happy 😄 And I would gladly watch heaps more videos of you painting trees🌲
I've burned trees in wood and they turned out fantastic now I'm trying water color. Thank you! Very nice job on the trees . I live in Central Oregon ( the high desert) I'm going to attempt paint what I see here in the desert juniper trees and sage brush.
I think the hardest part is knowing when to quit because sometimes we just have to say good enough and walk away to keep from overthinking the details, all the trees you did are very beautiful, good job
Great tree tutorial! The third tree you painted looks like a young white spruce or a Balsam fir before it has fully matured and starts to fill in with branches.
A wonderful calming class on Trees! Love each of the four, my favorite was the 5th one! I’m going to do a page of trees to calm me down in this busy holiday season . Thank you for a lovely start to the last week before Christmas! Have a wonderful Christmas, Karen Dirmish
Tall trees look like lodge pole pine. Downward sloping branches look like Norwegian spruce. Upward sloping look like balsam. The less-detailed version looks like a Colorado blue spruce. The taller, full tree recalls the Ponderosa pine. Thanks for the lesson!
Emma, I am so grateful for this tutorial! These trees are so well done, and I really learned a lot about how to make my own trees better. Thanks so much!
I'm trying to focus on how to draw and paint trees more than I did before. Seeing the trees in winter really helps to see their shapes, how full or thin the branches are, along with height.
Ohhh..Emma btw I just SUBSCRIBED!!! TOO YIUR CHANNEL. BECAUSE I LOVE THE WAY YOU GO STEP BY STEP WITH US YOUR VIEWERS. THATS WONDERF! I CAN APPRECIATE THAT. A COUPLE ARTISTS I'VE WATCHED, THEY TEND TOO ZOOM REALLY QUICKLY!! IN THEIR TUTORIALS! AND THAT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT!! FOR ME TOO LEARN..THANKS AGAIN FOR YOU KINDNESS AND PATIENCE.. IM LOVING IT!! KEEP YOUR COOL VIDEOS COMING! AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! YOU'RE AWESOMENESS!!🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯👍👍👍💕💕💕💕
1. Limber pine 2. Ponderosa in fog 3. White fir. 4. Limber pine 5. Sugar pine ( they look kinda like they have long, stretchy branches, like an octopus) 😉🌲👍 Now, when I go home, I’m gonna try painting my beloved trees. Thanks so much!
I am learning so much from your tutorials, thanks a million. Don't ever stop, please .......
Emma it’s 6am in uk watching,they are really realistic thank you Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄
You have talent and your upbeat personality makes your video pleasant to watch. Thank you for showing me a new technique.
I love evergreens but still unable to accomplish their beauty. Love your video and especially having your pallet visible. It helps so much to see how you load your brush. That is much more helpful than videos that are about loading your brush. Love your videos. Thanks so much.
Man, they look so real! I just want to walk right into your paintings! Thank you so much Emma. You make it seem so easy!
Loved this video and I feel I made progress when I had a go myself! Thank you! I love trees too! ☘️
This was so incredibly helpful! I really appreciate you, Emma! Thank you so much. You’re such a wonderful teacher. ❤
i agree shes a wonderful teacher
Love these!!!!! 🎄
Absolutely helpful! I've struggled so long trying to paint winter trees for Christmas trees! Thank you Emma for sharing your passion! Love you from Alabama! ❤
These are PERFECT trees! Love them. Reminds me of Christmas tree hunting!!
Seems to easy when you do it! They re really amazing! Thx from France for your videos!

@@4streegrrrl601 yeah, that would be a challenge if you know the species well! We can doooo eeeet!
i loved your trees...happy trees!!
my favorites are moreton bay fig & norfolk pines tc
They are all really nice but I especially like #2 when you went back over it. 🎨
Yes more trees please!
BTW I just received your brush set, and they are my favorites BY FAR. Not only are they stunning to look at, they hold SO much water and pigment and come to the tiniest point…and have excellent “snap”. I just love them, wish I had bought them long ago.👍
I enjoyed this so much! Beautiful trees that I can’t wait to try!
Thanks!

Beautiful. You have a great teaching style. You keep it simple and you explain what you are doing and why. Love these trees! 🎄🎄🎄

Thank you! They are gorgeous!
This is my second go round with these trees. Your video is awesome. Mine look terrible. I'll keep working on it! Thanks Emme Jane
I'm trying to focus on how to draw and paint trees more than I did before.
