Hi there! I think this is one of my favorite videos of yours! The spontaneity makes your work so fresh. I can actually feel the storm coming! Please do more of this kind of free spirited painting. Thank you!

[@loissleeper6753]

Please continue to explore landscapes. Excellent tutorial. Fresh,loose,joyful and inspiring. Thank you!

[@nickelazoyellow7360]

You're so relatable! "I'm not going to add anymore, while adding more." I am the same and that is why I enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@kellydanson2121]

I love how you did the sun in the last painting. That one I struggle with. Thanks, makes more sense now.

[@vivianivey6663]

Inspiring. Overthinking is my nemesis. You fretted throughout the challenge; time was the enemy. In the end though, for all the fretting, those simple paintings were quite pleasant to look at. Bravo.

[@paulabeaulieu52]

That was a great lesson today. It encourages me to just get on with it!! And stop fussing so much. Even though the 2nd one started getting fussy but I won't judge! I do the same.

[@Lulis56]

I think they are both beautiful! Some of my best landscapes have been quick studies in my sketchbook! I do like how you added water at the end to make the clouds, but I did want to hold your hands and make you stop when you kept fidgeting with the sky!

[@annenglish2935]

You definitely "rolled" with it, as you said!!! I'd like to see more landscapes from you Emma!!! Beautiful! Thank you for inspiring us! A California Gramma ♥️

[@zuhalsayver8080]

Teşekkürler Emma çok güzel öğreniyorum.Lisan bilmiyorum.Seyretmek bile öğrenmek için yeterli oluyor.Lutfen fırça ve kağıt kalınlıklarıni yazarsan mutlu olacağım.Seni seviyorum Emma,🌹♥️🤗

[@terencebelford1174]

Right on . Love DAD. X

[@brendawinner1971]

These turned out fabulous! On the second one did you hear me hollering “Stop!” Well, I’m glad you didn’t, it turned out beautiful! No mistake as you kept going🤗

[@riannonatwater7663]

Hi Emma, I loved watching you paint so in the moment and I really appreciate showing us how important it is to just play with painting instead of worrying that it will be perfect. Id love to see you do a challenge where you paint the same painting in 3 different time lines (like 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 30 minutes). It feels like you wanted to do that with your second painting a bit :)

[@Dedaskitchen]

As always, excellent video! I had to laugh as you talked to yourself on the last one, and allowed yourself to break your own rules! Great warm up exercise and something I can use for my beginner students.

[@amandastratton8242]

I love the 5 minute challenge Emma, so i will be giving this a try as i am normally too rigid with my work and this should help me to loosen up I hope !!! Thank you for sharing with us xx

[@lasvistasatitlan]

FANTASTIC!!! I loved them both -- and I loved the sunset one at around the 17 minute mark. I'm so intrigued by how you make those trees - so easy, and yet so real looking. Thank you. (I also yell stop at myself ... and then don't).

[@neelatwinkie3047]

More from those time challenges please. I love it :)

[@chrischurchley7003]

Fabulous Emma - night and day! They would make excellent postcards - really nice projects for when you don’t want to do a more involved piece. Thank you 🙏

[@brendayonson4667]

Hello Enma Jane, I LOVE you work . Thanks so much.

[@leanewton6758]

You inspired me to pick up my paint brush!!! And my art turned out great!!! Thank you so so much!!!!!

[@beckymellon8135]

I really liked both of them😊I definitely learned something 🌹

[@susiemejia7917]

You may have defeated the purpose with the sunset picture,but the sky looks cool. Glad I watched.

[@TheTravelingCrafter]

Loved this video. THIS I can do. Thanks for sharing!

[@tracylamarca575]

Okay - this was fun!! I only did the first one and I admit, I went back and added some darker green once it dried (so more than 5 minutes!)........but I really liked it! This is the first tutorial of yours I have done - I have now saved a bunch to my library and will try some more! Great instruction for a newcomer to watercolor painting like me! Thank you, Emma!

[@JessicaCEP]

I have a painting on metal like this, and I love these colors!

[@jaxgonsalves]

Love love both of these!!! And what you said...sometimes all we need to do is just do something to get put if our minds and paint!

[@ukjojo]

That was so much fun Emma, hearing you say 'stop, stop, oh crap was hilarious but it's good to know you struggle too 😂. Please do more of these and thankyou for your constant inspiration ❤️😊

[@deannam7551]

I agree that this was an excellent exercise and I would love to see more. Thank you!!!

[@darcygraceswatercolorstudi4220]

So pretty, Emma! Would love a updated tour of your palette!

[@valasafantastic1055]

Seems like you would be very happy with the 10 minute version instead LOL! Fun video thanks.

[@johnilko2964]

Wonderful landscape challenge. I am a beginner and I seem to be getting worse at mu landscapes. I am really inspired to do this type of challenge. I seem to overwork my paintings and make a mess out of them. I just don't know when to stop when I'm having so much fun. Thanks.

[@dorcaabreu106]

By far one of my favorite videos! Loved all the technique you showed in so little time!

[@joannesarlo518]

what a great exercise Emma. I love the way they both turned out.

[@lydiemonin977]

I love so much yours watercolors.There are fresh and spontanées.Its so good exercices

[@BonnyRoni]

This was really inspiring as I never know when to stop. Very helpful thank you.😊

[@equistremo]

I think it's a great exercise... but 'challenge' sounds much more exciting. Very nice, thanks.

[@watercolorpaintingintheaft9142]

Both beautiful!

[@chloemaxwell2628]

Very nice Emma, and you don't have to stop when you want to continue!

[@majoseibanezbargues7870]

Congratulations!! I really like that... I love it 😍

[@Jokerenn1]

OMG Emma, I am totally addicted to your videos. I only am scared to paint myself because I probably will be dissapointed. Anyway thanks for your videos and teaching us!

[@maryspringer1442]

Loved this had to have a go at it..halfway done with the first one..how much fun! Hope you do more like this!

[@pa0505]

I’m new to water colors and want to learn so thank you for the video, it was great fun painting along.

[@chelseaclerke3582]

These are some of my favourite landscapes that you have ever showed us! The Stormy sky is beautiful and simple and the sunset using a bloom is something I would have never thought of but it turned out so pretty!

[@arliene-katedunn-christiso8716]

You got me unstuck! Great video n both paintings are awesome

[@rubywestmoreland7485]

The stormy bleed looks like a patch that is raining.

[@staceywilson5232]

Love these. Especially the first one.

[@AnjasbunteWelt]

Very inspiring. Will try it. Thanks so much for sharing

[@Sheila-BennerHolt]

Sooo much to learn from watching you make your "mistakes". Even your blooms worked. I needed that!

[@carollegros8671]

Both very nice

[@RadishandRoux]

Such a great exercise! I find these very useful!

[@cherylbrewer1218]

Love both of these Emma. Great idea too, I must challenge myself. Thank you as always 😊

[@kraftygirl46]

Awesome idea!!!

[@cassandragoth8486]

Thank you! I really enjoyed this. I liked how both my paintings turned out with a time restriction!

[@flyinghaggertys9362]

These are breathtaking!!! I absolutely love these!

[@cherihermans9118]

Thank you what marvellous paintings. An inspiring challenge.

[@inkonapin]

Very nice, I loved your little flowers at the end, I need to try something like that. I'm working on a simple birch tree forest painting and I am not liking how the forest floor turned out at all. Might experiment with some loose leaves or something, hmmm...

[@travelinglovebugs7]

Great ideas for birthday cards I need to make

[@LisaMischelle]

Thank you Emma I’ve always wondered the process in which to do a sunset in the distance. You just lift the value out of the center! Yay!

[@Gayatri_Deshpande]

This was amazing. Absolutely loved it. 😍😍😍😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@renshaw5darlene1519]

Both are absolutely beautiful

[@x2dep4u2cx]

You are amazing!! I am just starting to learn watercolor painting. It was fun watching you do this! I’m inspired 🙂

[@nancyloomis3046]

Wow…I’ll have to try this. Your sky is really cool 😎

[@tenillethearteest]

The inner dialogue on this one is my favorite. So relatable.

[@LizatHome]

Thanks so much, this was great, I love how they both turned out.

[@NanaNan1]

They are both gorgeous!

[@artqua811]

I especially liked the sunset, and it looked great at every stage! I can’t wait to try!

[@mariabuescher8369]

I love them both. You just did two levels of challenge. One 5 minute, and one 10 minute challenge.

[@tkkozeluh]

I think you did an amazing job for 5 minutes and it does show how when we keep futzing with it we overwork the watercolors. I think one of the joys of watercolor is letting it do what it’s going to do and see what turns out!

[@megperry5586]

I learned so much from your videos! Thanks

[@jacquelinehardouin9771]

Beautiful

[@fionaharvey2720]

Great video, it was very helpful for me to see you change what you had painted ! Thank you! I’m going to try this now!☘️☘️☘️☘️

[@Angie-pl3uw]

Super! Yes, it looked better with a bit more!

[@scmarinemom24]

Wow! Those turned out amazing. As always 🌷

[@helengentile9327]

It’s a great exercise, just freeestyling and letting your bush take you places…

[@sangeetaiyer9465]

That's lovely, Emma! For an intuitive artist like you, 5 minutes is perfect. You get a great, free, dynamic and alive look with the first few strokes.

[@m.k.9405]

OMG l love your work. These 5 minute landscapes are PERFECT for travel journaling. I love it so much. ❤❤

[@lyndaasmith8786]

Wow, these are beautiful, cant wait to try.😍

[@caroann]

I absolutely love them both!!

[@TheVal1963]

Awesome and very relaxing to watch

[@patricianeville464]

Hi Emma, this was great! Please do more!

[@jandavidson2179]

Loved this video! Laughed so much at It’s a bird! Ok now I’m gonna stop! But I’m just gonna…. I started saying, stop,stop but they turned out so awesome. Love your channel. ❤️

[@helenbates5940]

Stunning!!

[@pamgrover9910]

Thanks I had great fun ,doing this

[@aesea57804]

Emma these are great! They are both really fun. Very inspiring to try it myself!

[@PriyankaPawar-sl9gl]

Awesome 👍

[@serafina5432]

Merveilleux ! Fabulous! Thank you

[@carlapearce4008]

I love them both! I don't love my first attempts but it was so fun. Definitely want to give it another go.

[@samawhidden]

I love this video! You definitely feel more light and loose , landscapes are so hard and you made it look so easy! Please do more ❤️☺️🥰

[@devonmccarroll6509]

I love this so much! I want to try this!

[@jannissen8146]

This was great! I’m up for the challenge! Thanks for another helpful, fun tutorial.

[@BlessedForever888]

Wow I love how quick and do-able these are!

[@rubywestmoreland7485]

Lovely as always

[@lindakuck5981]

These are so fun! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@roxannerosecrans4441]

Love this challenge Emma!

[@francinetoni268]

This was so much fun, I had to hit the like and subscribe buttons! Thank you!

[@kathybalch]

The thing that I dislike about watercolor is the drying time. You’ve inspired me to keep trying! Your paints have a lot of pigment idk if I could get that much color without a second coat with my paint. What kind of paper are you using? Love your paintings! Thanks Emma!

[@shirleyupvall9360]

I like it alot

[@hankejoosen4029]

Both are gorgeous 🤩🤩🤩

[@bobbisidorenkov5563]

I was laughing at your internal struggles with stopping. Very entertaining and I liked your pictures

[@debbieasselstine2469]

They both turned out beautiful!

[@Kd33_art]

Love this tutorial! Your painting’s looked so amazing for just 5 mins. I think the timer will make me nervous but I will try it anyway! ❤️kr

[@bettyhill4539]

Fabulous! Definitely going to try this. Thank you.
