Hey everyone, I am so glad you are enjoying this video and I plan to do more like this in the future! keep an eye out for a TH-cam post of when the next round of art submissions will be accepted! I absolutely love helping you guys out with your watercolour skills in anyway way I can! Thank you all so much for the love
I really liked this video. More please!
Yes, more of these videos!
I loved this video and learned so much. Very much looking forward to more of them!
Learning alot from your videos! Tk u
Very helpful! More, please.
Hi Emma ... ironically, this is what you’ve been teaching us along BUT when I watched the comparisons, it hit home even more! Beginners always seem to struggle with the same general things like evenly spacing things and making things in patterns. We need to trick our art brain to work around this. Fantastic idea. You are a wonderful teacher and we really appreciate you.
An excellent and authentic lesson! I love that you care about us fledglings as we embark into watercolors at an early stage. You are a beautiful, talented teacher. Thank you for caring about others and offering this lesson. 🥰
Yes, please do more of these! It really helps us see better! Thanks Emma!
This was a great video! Thank you to the artists who submitted their work - all very good art! ❤️
Emma this sort of 'watercolour clinic' is SO valuable. Most watercolour youtubers don't have that value-add. I am part of a patreon for another watercolour artist and there is nothing this personal and useful on there. Definitely one of your USPs!
This video was really helpful! Loved how you walked through all the submitted artwork and showed how to make the necessary corrections. I would love to see more videos like this. You are a great teacher, explaining everything so well.
Thank you to all who submitted, and to Emma Jane for clearly addressing these questions. I learned a lot that I can apply to my paintings
Please more of this type, fast strokes and hopefully learning! The faster the looser I’m learning! I watch you and I think I am learning! Thanks and you are a wonderful teacher!🙋♀️🌈Karen Dirmish
I loved example #2, not as a bouquet, but as an example of an illustrative style. Viewing her painting from that point of view, I think it is gorgeous. Perhaps that is the style that suits her the most.
Wow! Very useful! A heartfelt thank you to all the artists who submitted their work. Emma you are so generous with your advice. Thank you for investing such effort.
Emma, I can see that teaching is definitely your thing. You have explained all the problems and how to correct them so well. I’ve learnt a lot from this video even though I have been painting for some time now. You never stop learning! Thanks for a great video.
I am loving your lessons. You can teach an old dog new tricks. I am 69 and just beginning watercolors. I painted with oils for years but I am so excited about this new form. You have been so helpful and you have brought great joy into my life. Thank you. I may even join Instagram just to know more. Now back to what you are teaching. Keep up the great inspirational work.
Yes do more of these. I learned more in this video than I have learned from watching many others. Great info. Thanks.
YES this is TREMENDOUSLY helpful!! Like you said there's no such thing as a bad painting, yet part of the reason I subscribe to your channel is because I love your style, and getting specific about how YOU achieve the effects in YOUR artwork is so much more useful because it's much less generic and is immediately applicable
LOVE how you shared other artists struggles!!! great to see how you help us!!! More videos like this!!!
Yes, please show more work submissions & struggles. This was so helpful! Thank you so much.
You have definitely hit on a great way to teach! When I watch you, I feel like it's just' magic' and I can't see what I'm doing wrong.... but when I see specifically how others struggle, it reall starts to feel 'real'.
Yes, more videos with suggested corrections! Very helpful!!!
Definitely would like to see of this type of video - it's always a great help when an advanced artist deals with the practical problems that beginners often face in applying (or even understanding) basic techniques.
Funny thing for me is, I KNOW all these concepts. I studied fine art in high school and college, and am trying to get back into it 20 years later. I never really gravitated toward watercolor back then (I was a pen & ink, pastel type of artist). I recently just took an 8-week watercolor course at a local art gallery.
Even though I KNOW these concepts, applying them is easier said than done. And not getting frustrated when you make mistakes over and over!!! Wasting paper and supplies :)
I appreciate the time you took in this video. It was interesting to include your Instagram follower's submissions. I just went and followed you on Instagram myself. Looking forward to more videos as I keep on going (frustratingly) with my watercolor. Thanks!!!
she is a good art teacher. Her instructions are very clear and easy to understand.
Thank you young lady I finally found a video that is easy for me to understand. Love the way you teach. ❤
I loved this lesson! I am was not aware of your request. I usually watch you on TH-cam first thing in the morning. When I turned it on this morning and I was so happy to see your subjects. I struggle with leaf leaf placement and water control. I am very much a beginner but truly have learned so much from your videos. I intend to try practicing using your lessons. Thank for teaching me I can draw and paint a little for fun and relaxation.❤️
That tutorial was sooooo informative and so needed for me. I was not getting the layering and shading concepts.
I learned to go from light to dark! This adds the definition and contrast that I was looking for in my work.
Thank you EmJ !!! Your teachings are so well worked through and the pieces that your other followers sent in were representative of my exact struggles with Water Color Painting right now!!! Thanks, you helped me out a great deal.
20:17 That daisy was AMAZING!
This was very helpful! Please do more! Can't wait!
I will never get tired of watching you paint loose roses in real time!! Great video, Emma. Even though I know I’ve heard you give these pointers before - I feel like a nuance of understanding improves each time. Thank you for your patience 🙏💗💗💗
Oh and I could not hear the tractors at all!!
That was terrific, Emma. I particularly liked the way you showed making the picture pop with ‘depth’ darker colour.
You are awesome, and a natural teacher. Beautiful roses!
So helpful! I hope you continue with more videos like this ✌🏻
Very helpful! Yes! Do more!!
Can I ask why the roses and leaves are the same colour. As you never see blue roses thankyou
Completely with you on art critiquing UNLESS you're being asked to comment about intention vs results. Art is such a personal thing - all you can offer is your interpretation of a piece, not whether it's actually good or not.
That was really interesting to watch, Emma. I have a similar problem to the first artist, I space my flowers too much and your video helped me think of how I might do things differently. Thank you!
Yes! Would like to see more of the "struggles" videos
You have helped me immensely! I may not be there yet but with your encouragement I'll get there. Thanks so much. Need more of this type of tutorial.
Thank you Emma! This is so helpful. Please, yes, do more of these. We get ourselves into these situations and it's so helpful to know how to correct them and, better yet, to avoid them.
Invaluable information Emma! Agree that there is no bad art, but not everyone agrees. Tough noogies , I say! Everyone has their own style. Can you please do more on composition. I’m struggling with this sometimes. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you!
Wow! Thank you so much for doing this video. Your comparisons really helped me see the difference and understand how I could make my paintings look better. This is truly the most helpful video on watercolor painting that I've ever seen and I'm so grateful! I hope you continue to do this type of video at least once in a while. 🙏 You are a wonderful teacher. Thanks again ❤
YOU are such a good teacher!!! LOVE YOUR STYLE!!
Very helpful format. Enjoyed watching you address our struggles.
Thank you. Welearn from each other. Play with our art. So we can see and learn. Thank you again.
Yes, please do more. Loved seeing how to correct a completed work (like the deer and violets).
Thank you Sooo much Emma jane. Thank u for sharing us your talent
It was very helpful to see the "structured" leaves & flowers painted more loosely. Really learned a lot! Thanks.
Yes more vids! This is a huge help! Thank you!
Great video 👌, for bigger piece you can use a fine mist water bottle too, I let the water sit for a minute , spray and swipe brush around again to make sure it's nicely wet but not pooling.
I love your videos. They are always so clear and helpful. But this one was even more so. As other people said, I think the comparisons really helped illustrate what you were explaining. Thank you!!!
Yes, so helpful..some of the same issues that I struggle with. I agree that you have told us many of these tips before, but it really helps to have examples. I would love another one of these and the first thing I would submit is the issue of pooling when I add a darker value for texture on a leaf. Thank you, thank you for your patience with us newbies!
Thank you Emma for the good tips and to all who submitted work. I have a long way to go but will persevere x
Awesome! Great learning experience. Please do more. Thank you!
This video has been very helpful for me and my husband. I subscribed after this one. We'd like to see more of these kind of videos. Thank you so much. My warmest regards
Yes yes please!!! More! I learned so much by seeing exactly what mine usually looks like and then the RIGHT way to do it. I absolutely LOVED the daisy!
Wow! I get answers to so many of doubts. I am a beginner and new subscriber to your channel and handle. Would love to see more such videos. Thank you Emma for making us better. ❤️
Love it! I learned something with each painting you gave us tips on. My painting was the first one and it is so exciting having you use our paintings and give us tips.
Emma, thank you! A great big THANK YOU! This is so very helpful!
You’re a great tutor very charming .I have to add your paintings are so free and easy looking , I’m definitely. Going to give it a try 💕
Emma you are a great teacher!. This was a wonderful video. I really learn important things. Lerning by comparison is the BEST idea!!!
Thank you for this informative tutorial. You are a wonderful teacher and artist. Really enjoy watching so keep them coming
Thanks so much Emma. Very helpful. You are a great teacher. Keep up the great work. 💝👏
Yes please! That was so helpful. Thank you so much.
Oh my HECK I love love love this video! The examples look so much like my art. Thank you for helping me take it to the next level. I can't wait to re-try the same painting in the new technique.
Oh, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I started my watercolor journey last November. My projects all look like your before! Now I can't wait and try to apply some of your tips.
I'll keep following and I guess I have to get an Instagram account.
Yes, please do some more videos like this. Its VERY helpful. Thank you♥️
great and thanks to those that had the courage to submit their work
Yes please show us more! Its so helpful
Very helpful to hear your comments and then see you demonstrate how to improve. Thank you.
Wow! Gorgeous! I have the same issue with roses/flowers, I’m too structured. This is adorable!
I really loved this Emma and I’d love to see more of these kind of corrective videos. Thank you.😊
This was VERY useful! Please do more videos like this! Thank you!
Your work is really great thank you .. 😍 unfortunately too many people dont know that half of watercolour work depends on the type of paper .. i have worked hard on watercolour and watching too many watercolour tutorials but now one said that i have to choose some special paper with special thickness.. and then i knew that i have to choose the right paper .. that time my watercolour paints starts to be professional 😍♥️
Emma beautiful watercolour and you are very good teacher ! thank you
this was a huge help to me yesterday in painting some winter floral bundles
I really, really really loved hers. I wish she saw what I see because i thought hers were perfect 🥰
Thanks so much for this invaluable video.. and for all the practical tips you gave. I absolutely love watching your flower tutorials.. they've re-kindled my interest in watercolor.
This is so helpful…and I love your dog visiting. I think that’s more like the reality of what we are all going through out here😂
This was great, I learned so much! Would love to see more of these. And thanks to the artists for sharing their lovely work. 😊
Great idea and very helpful. Lost see your finished landscapes!
This was one of your best video ideas 💕💕love this. Like others have said - you point a lot of these things in your video tutorials but seeing the difference and pointing it out in examples really is super helpful!! Thank you to those who submitted work... hopefully I’ll catch the next call for submissions. 🤗
Great instructions! Thanks to all the artist who participated and Emma for the critiques
More would be great! It was very helpful! Thank you!
Thank you Emma. Loved this video! It was very very informative. It helps a lot to see this kind of information.
Would love to see more of these. All the artists works were great. Thank you to them as well.
Thank you again ! 😊
Ooo i love the second one..it reminds me of a field of flowers
You have an amazing ability to zero in on what is keeping an artist from achieving their goals. I can see the problems, but until you point it out, I can't see how to fix it. It's a little like magic! Very helpful video. I look forward to more like this.
This was such a great idea! Even though we know these things in theory, seeing the comparisons were SUPER helpful! 👍😁
Love it! Like you said, all good art. Your suggestions are wonderful for all of us to see.
Loved the video. So helpful! Thanks to the artists who submitted their work. I learned a lot
Love this type of video. Learn from other people's mistakes.
That was super duper helpful and it’s ended up being one of the best lessons I’ve ever experienced! Please do more and more!!!!!!! I just found you and just know I’m gonna see a bit of improvement!
TThis was a great video to help artists see solutions for problems they are having. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Thanks
This was so helpful ! thanks to the people who’s example you used. I had the same issues.. yes please more videos like this one. Hugs
I really enjoyed this! It was so very helpful with a lot of tips for me as I struggle with many of the same issues. I would love to see more of these. Thanks so much!
Yes please! More. So helpful!
THANK YOU!!!!!! Since I am new to watercolors, this information was priceless!!
Please do more like this. It really helps!
Love to see fixes. I think it is fun and so helpful. Giving me courage to get going!
So so helpful and inspiring, I’m not a flower person but now want to try a few, thank you!!!
I think these critiques are really helpful for everyone. Thank you
What a great video! You are a great teacher and it felt like we were in the classroom with you. . Thank you to those who submitted their artwork... what a learning experience for us starting out
