I have looked at other artists tutorials of late and always find myself returning to yours, great teacher, easy to follow and information is plain and simple ,thank you Emma
Thank you. I really needed this today. I still struggle with the water portion. The art paper by Bee i started with is way different than 100% cotton... the struggle is with balance with water & values. But I'm not too be deterred & will continue to practice. I can do it while i watch you it's a room with the light flipped on, but on my own, it's like it's an empty room with a candle. Keep showing us how. Your style & love of the art shine as a beacon to what we can do if we just keep practicing.
I am so excited that I found your channel! I'm a beginning watercolor artist and I'm thrilled that there are TH-cam videos available so that I can learn the art of watercolor painting! It's something that I would not be successful at wiithout proper instruction, so starting out I'm trying to find my way by watching inspiring internet tutorials and copying what I see on the video. Your videos are the ones that I have settled on and I'm thrilled I found you! Some things I like about your tutorials include the fact that you have a lot of content, you go at a good pace and explain things well, I like your speaking voice, and from there your style is something that resonates with me. Your work is beautiful and it's something that I can see myself doing in a similar style that I would also enjoy doing. I love flowers so as an added bonus your subject matter is exactly what I would like to start out with as a beginner painter! For my birthday I got a little portable watercolor kit with a watercolor tablet about 6 by 7inches; portable and not daunting but still big enough to work. When I celebrated Christmas with my mom today, one month later since I got my portable watercolor palette, she gifted me another beginners kit of 24 metallic colors and a $25 gift card to a craft/art supply. I am so excited to get the supplies that I have learned that I need, especially the proper round pointed brush! I've also been watching videos about acrylic fluid paint pouring for the last 5 months and finally have most of the supplies and the gumption to start that art form as well! The things I get to learn from youtube! Now I can cut my hair, do my makeup, study art, have all my favorite music at my fingertips. I was a 90s teenager so I'm glad I got a taste of American culture at the time before the digital age but I sure do appreciate being able to educate and entertain myself with everything at my fingertips in my pocket all the time! Thank you for your content from the central coast of California ! 🤓
Bonjour et merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo très instructive. Ca va m aider énormément car je débute à l l'aquarelle. Vous expliquez tellement bien. J adore vos vidéos. Merci mille fois 🦋🐿🦌
I’m glad I was using Prang as a first time trying. I still love painting with it. It’s creamy and vibrant! But I was using it like acrylic. It was perfect and really nice to use it for learning. It even mixes beautifully. That said, I am too frugal to have wanted to spend what I do now for my paint. Just looking back, I would have spent/wasted a lot of money my first week if I had used what I use now. Thanks to Emma, I waited and learned! Prang and a kid’s watercolor pad were perfect!!!! I think I spent 3.00 USD on the first paper. I used all 25 sheets too! Yes I did!😂
This is EXACTLY what I needed! I got carried away with my new paints and used only bright pigment I knew it was not right once it was completed but didn't know how to improve it- the I stumbled on your video. Needless to say, I've subscribed, thank you.
I use the b/w photo myself for acrylic painting, I’m still learning watercolors, it’s a great tool to use for seeing the grayscale in your paintings. Good lesson.😊
Thank you Emma. This was a very helpful and quick lesson. This is the perfect length for me and also focusing on one particular detail is great, to drive home the lesson. Loved it.
You'll like her channel. She's one that actually teaches what she's doing in detail. Normally you have to learn mostly by observation. You will learn a great deal from Emma.
Thank you so very much! I'm very new and not understanding some of the terms people use. I now understand what value means. You can teach an old dog......LOL
Great lesson, Emma! Other artists mention values being so impt., even more so than color choices, but none have explained/shown the importance as well as you have! Awesome camera edit trick for checking values; I had been uploading the photo to my computer and then changing it to black and white. Phone edit so much faster (now that I have figured out how)! 👍👍
Super helpful video Emma! Love your easy to follow teaching style. I’ve mostly done landscapes, but branching off into loose florals. You have really great content to help with that. Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial. I understand the concept. I also may just use one of this type of floral in my February subscription box. My peonies look oddly like a rabbit with two of the pedals hanging down. The subscription box piece is pretty tough, and a few simpler flowers would help!
Great video and thanks so much for that tip about taking a picture of your art piece. I frequently photograph my pieces and it helps me to see the piece with more perspective. However, using the saturation facility is a brilliant idea. Love it 😀
Thank you so much Emma!, I seriously needed this tutorial!!!. I’m afraid I am one of those having trouble with contrast until recently I was doing all dark which frustrated me. So having you explain all the ways to improve makes so much sense to me. Thank you for the concise way you explain it, and using the camera really put a period on the entire tutorial. ❤
Awesome and I loved how you show and seeing this! What size brush are you using? I went to the senior center art teacher she keeps telling me to relax my hand let it flow can you show me that of your interpation. I love your work!
Thx for the good info. I see you are holding your brush down on towards the bristles. Do you get better control when making the flowers? I'm new to watercolor and need all the tips I can get, lol.
This is such a helpful video! Checking the contrast on your phone is a great idea! Would I be adding contrast if I dropped in a second color to some of the petals or leaves?
Fabulous. I just need to work faster as things dry too quickly lol
Wonderful lesson, you are an excellent teacher! You talk at a decent pace and are so clear on what is important to grasp. Thank You……😊
wonderful floral painting....... greetings

great video ❤
the way your hands talk with you ... I love it
Good advice! Thanks for sharing!
I love your videos. You have a great teaching style.

You are a fantastic teacher! Very easy to follow, and your tip for checking saturation is GENIUS!! Thank you so much!
I'm brand new to watercolor painting. Just learning to use water to change values not white paint! BIG lesson. Thank you!
i should practice this, i think whats missing in my pieces is they never have enough contrast
Thank you! So very helpful

Used to use prang too! They are a great budget option
Wow, that phone tip is so helpful! I have trouble gauging this on my own. Thanks so much.

That's a really good idea !!! 💡 🤔 👏
Thank you Emma. Good piece of advice. 🤗
Whatever the medium you use, value is very important and something I often don't think about. This is a great reminder, thanks!
Thank you Emma. This was a very helpful and quick lesson. This is the perfect length for me and also focusing on one particular detail is great, to drive home the lesson. Loved it.
Thanks for this class on "Values". Looking forward to learning about other art elements. New subscriber. 👍🏿👩🏿🎨🤗
You'll like her channel. She's one that actually teaches what she's doing in detail. Normally you have to learn mostly by observation. You will learn a great deal from Emma.
She’s a great teacher! Go back and check out her other videos. She taught me so much about how watercolor works and what to expect.

learned so much from this tutorial!! Thanks Emma! Can't wait to try these new skills out tomorrow! :)
I had so much fun watching this early (enjoying my Parteon perks *wink). The black and white photo was so cool to really check it.

Great tutorial!! I’m a beginner and after watching this I’m definitely joining your Patreon 😊
This was a great video Emma! So very helpful!🥰

I guess. That’s just how I comfortably hold it 😊
This is such a helpful video! Checking the contrast on your phone is a great idea! Would I be adding contrast if I dropped in a second color to some of the petals or leaves?
If it was a darker value, yes
Great help! What size brush are you using?
