    I know this tutorial is 4 years old, but I love EVERY one of them!!! Thank you for sharing your gift with us!!! ♥️

    I can't believe my eyes......3 cards in 15 minutes! You make it look so easy; how you show us every little line, every shading, every detail; all done in your easy relaxed motions. I want to try but I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Call me 'chicken'; so afraid! I know that's silly, so what if it's bad, it's just paint, paper and water. Just start over! Talked myself into it. Thank you Emma you are adorable (and you lil man too).

    I may have watched this last year, but I am so excited to follow along and get back to watercolor!

    I have learned so much watching your videos. You are so brave to write directly on the card like that.

    I could watch you for hours. You're so calm and you make it look so simple ,I might be able to paint.

    The card with the holly and berries would be perfect to write on "Happy Holly-days!"

    You are very talented! I have no watercolor experience, so I am watching how you hold your brush, and also noting the brush number. Your tip to move your arm and not your hand when making a straight line or a border is a great one. You have inspired me to try watercolor painting. Now I just need to find my paper! Thank you for sharing your techniques!

    As a water colour artist myself I love watching your videos you understand colour , so if you're new to water colour painting you need to watch this lady work, lovely cards by the way I've never bothered before but I may give it a go,thank you Merry Christmas x

    Love thee cards! I just wanted to mention that there are so many stamps that can be used for watercolor! I’ve bought from a few different shops when they are on clearance! I’ve also bought some from AliExpress, they are super cheap there! I try not to buy from any that are designed by the big companies, just wanted to mention this. The way they do this is stamping with Tim holtz distress inks, light colors like antique linen. Then when you start painting, the ink blends in with ur watercolor paints. 😊💗

  • @piperevelyn2446
    @piperevelyn2446 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your tutorials are so amazing that I went today and bought a watercolor set, some brushes, and proper paper, and see if I can get past my deep dislike of watercolors that comes from using them as a kid with a poor brush on printer paper. It was so frustrating as a kid to do anything with those when the paper rolled and the teacher knew nothing about watercolors, so I haven't really tried that method at all after school. That tree however feels like a perfect way to discover how to actually use those paints fun way.

  • @sharononeil8201
    @sharononeil8201 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am a beginner painter and just decided to try some watercolor. It is not easy but I keep telling myself that I am just starting. Your tutorial is great...simple design and, hopefully, instant gratification...I hope. Time will tell. Your little boy is adorable!

  • @donnahenry3772
    @donnahenry3772 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    1.These are adorable and I can't wait to give them a try. 2. I have struggled painting holly leaves and look how simple you made it! 3. After a year or so of watching you paint I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy some Arches watercolor paper. Wow! What a difference. Thanks, once again, for your teaching.

  • @kathrynowens2678
    @kathrynowens2678 4 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    I am so inspired by this! I'm retiring in a few weeks, and want to try! I have always admired watercolors, but was too intimidated before. You make me believe I could do it.

    • @alicianarm
      @alicianarm 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can do it! I just started in October and I learned from Emma and others on youtube. And it's a rather inexpensive hobby in my opinion. I find it to be very therapeutic!

  • @RendaJane

    Your kids are as adorable as their parents. I bought the platinum from your set yesterday. I mixed it with red, and it worked!!!!!! Silvery red ribbon on my mistletoe!!!!! It works. So 🤩

    I did something similar to the tree card with different colours blending. Very cheery. Also, O did some with more smaller trees in different sizes in a row. I then made some decorations in the trees, nothing fancy, like baubles and golden or silver chains. Lots of fun to do, and very quick, too.

  • @kathleenparker2060

    Emma, I noticed on reading on Amazon with regard to the Finetec gold paints they have changed the name. I'm enclosing the info for you.
    The manufacturer of this product, Finetec GmbH has rebranded this product as Coliro. The product itself remains unchanged and continues to be handcrafted in Germany by Finetec GmbH. Until the inventory is worked through, you may receive the older packaging. Coliro M600 Artist Mica Watercolor Paint, Metallic, Gold (6-Color/Set)
    Happy Painting, Annette Tracy

    Adding a border of tape before adding your gold would make it really look nice. with the really straight edges of gold... Loved this simple tree card...

    Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was looking for a snowman tutorial, and saw a lot of them, but this is the only one that was realistic and simple. I am a huge fan of your videos; you are one of the best at demonstrating how to do things in a way a beginner can understand and use.

  • @camcadams1

    These Christmas tutorials were exactly what I was looking for. I also get anxiety but it when I am painting for someone else besides me.

  • @KCPGW64
    @KCPGW64 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Wow! You make it look so simple. Although the first three card videos' were out of focus, I love how easy you made it look. I love watercolour painting but not confident in creating a card cos not a very good sketcher like yourself. However, after watching your tutorial, I am going to try my utmost to follow your lead. You write beautifully too. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe😷🌹💖

    I’m def going to try this. I’ve not done any cards this year as I wanted to watercolour them myself but, yeah, that didn’t happen. So my cards are going to be late but I think I could manage the tree one. No one I’m giving them to live or know each other so there’s no issue giving everyone the same right?
