this looks like so much fun! I never thought to try different aspects. So freeing!

Thank you very much i am having a very hard time with trees and bushes. I just dont kno what im doing wrong

Beautiful result and so helpful to see the layering/glazing and how you pick out the shadow shapes. Thank you!

That was great Dan. I learned a few diamonds!

I just love that sketch of the at minute 1.26. If you could do more like that in your school, that would be so great!! Thank you!

These are truly amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.

great demonstration thank you its given me confidence to play around with changing parts to suit me and hopefully achieve a successful result 👍

This was super helpful! I often have problems adding backgrounds that will support and not distract from my subject matter and this helps clarify that. Thank you!

So interesting! This was really helpful! Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Great Video Emi, backgrounds are always game changers, this helped me with my Airbrushed T shirt backgrounds as well Thank You..

Great tutorial! I have for so long be painting along with tutorials. Thanks for reminding and demonstrating that thumbnails matter!

Great - thumbnails and considerations of composition in action. Thank you.

I need to make myself do thumbnails in spite of my impatience to create a finished painting. I think it will pay off.

I’m going to be giving thumbnails a try before doing my paintings. I have never given them a thought before and I see exactly how they are very beneficial in making a great painting. Thank for your helpful advice & suggestions Emily 🥰!

I’m going to try this technique the time I paint from a photo. I always try to include as much as I can, but you’re right, I can use my imagination. Also, that looks like La Jolla, am I right?

I like the fuzzy palm tree!

Hi, Thank you for this great video. I saw you placed your watercolor tin on the chair arm...did your metal tin fit in the binder? Thanks again!

Thank you! Ive wanted to paint thr northern lights for years and finally got into watercolor so i could. Mine turned out great!

Very beautiful! Had a bit of a hard time with It but I will get better! Going to try it again❤😅

I just got this set and I think they must have listened to your advice as they changed the colors. For my yellows, i got lemon yellow and cadmium yellow hue, and for my blues I got ultramarine and cerulean blue hue. They added the paynes grey but still kept the white. I would rather have pink instead of white. I love all of the other colors though, and I do have a tube of permanent rose so I think I will switch the white out for that one.

Thank you so much! I am going to paint this! 😊❤❤

Emily, what brand tape do you use. I have tried so many and they rip, even if only on a short time.

Can you not sure how to draw it?

So nice video ,thank you Emily , the Biaelk 873Round(squirrel) is fantastic

Northern California and Oregon haystacks are wonderful subjects. I find that I exaggerate the breaking surf on the rocks but who is going to tattle on me. Though I have a stand up easel and also a tripod I usually paint small enough to hand hold my sketchbook.

The only thing is the rounded edges which I hate and ruins this whole idea for me, removing the look of paper, creating an artificial feel, that will not look good for float framing at all. Raymar does have proper angled edges. Also, with it being backed to a panel, there is no way of double checking if the oil paint paper holds up and that not anything seeps through, although it says it will, it is leaving it completely on trust. These two things are the only things that holds me back from this, or I would go all out and buy 50 pieces of the biggest size.

such a fantastic review ☺

Daughter is a cutie

I love my sbv brushes. ❤ Good quality brushes.

How do I become a member?

No rope.

Do you have the SBV travel brushes? If so, how do you like them?

Enjoyed the real time tutorial. Can you show how you use your brush to wet the paper. Do you wet and rewet the entire paper. Do you use the same palette of colors for all your paintings? Thank you.

I am having a hard time finding good liner brushes. Will have to try the Silver Ultra Mini liner brushes. Thanks.

I've heard so many people recommend these! definitely need to try some

Wow, amazing portrait!

Cotton and wood pulp are both cellulose.

Love this. I’m so envious. What a beautiful landscape.

Yay! I'm still basically a beginner but it's abundantly clear how much difference good 100 percent cotton paper makes in the enjoyment of painting and the results.

Thanks Emily and Dan for such an interesting conversation! Dan's thoughts about the honesty of craftsmanship at 20:39, really resonate.

Instead of Cotman I'd recommend van Gogh as a beginners watercolor brand. I started with Cotman and thought I wasn't able to mix colors the right way.

We appreciate you!!!❤

so pretty

Very nicely done... a video with heartfelt feeling.

Beautiful. My little fat cat says that a big body and a tiny head, is the perfect shape for cats!
