Love your work! I am 70 years old and painting now for 3 weeks. I did try your tree, not so good ofcourse.😂 And I made a pink bonsai tree and that is lovely. I learned a lot of you. Thanks!!! 🙏

[@patriciaharper6503]

Gracias Emma! From Argentina! Today is my birthday! I asked you to paint mushrooms! A you did it !!! As a present to me! Thank you thank you! I am so happy!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@FannaTurano]

@@mimo4000 Si si! Feliz compleanos!

[@MixitupMarci]

🙋🏻‍♀️🌿🍄 LOVE this!!! I would love to see more woodland animals and plants!! Feeling very springy lately!! 🦦🐿🦔🌿🌺🌸🌼 xo Marci

[@juliec.]

Wow You’re brush control and fine detailing is amazing.

[@harrieth7003]

I really adore your style - both painting and teaching! Straight to the point and nice and short and snappy. After doing the jellyfish yesterday I’m about to do your Apple tutorial. Going to work though them all!! 😃 big thank you from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@majamilton]

i love that tutorial! thank you so much!!

[@vanessaanne6249]

This is so great!!! Thank you. I love my mushrooms. I've been playing around with watercolors for a very little bit - the step by step instruction is exactly what I need. I think eventually I'll have the confidence and skills to do some original stuff but I appreciate learning through the copying/instruction. Thank you!

[@lindzloot6134]

I really enjoyed this. I don't know what it is about mushrooms, but I've always found them bizarrely adorable or sometimes pretty appetizing. Your style is so satisfying!

[@kathleendewitt7901]

I have been taking online classes for a bit (not a long bit, but a bit). I have learned so much from your videos. Those apples and flowers that you have shared....and now this.....makes me feel like I really am going to be able to paint something I can be proud of. Awesome!

[@a.macbain6529]

I love this tutorial. I’ve done several but this one in particular helped me with the wet on wet technique. I used a smaller brush and found I could better control the water. I am a beginner painting on cheap non-cotton paper and was really struggling with wet on wet. This one came out great. Can’t wait to try it on better paper. ~~~These lovely tutorials have helped me keep my sanity during Covid for sure!

[@sallyalter6003]

I am a beginner too and have decided to gravitate to Arches cotton paper. The difference is phenomenal. Best of luck. Sally

[@fionademagnitot9571]

Hi from France, I started watercolor painting this summer with my thique sisters, we totaly love it, thanks to Emma were doing great progrès, I have switched to arches paper, its sont much easier, but expensive. I find the cheapest plan is buying xtra large pages 75cm × 55cm, then cutting it to size . Have fun painting

[@TheRexxrexx]

Wow, you make it seems so easy. Your brush control is out of this world. Thank you for sharing.

[@thegypsy1968]

I can't thank you enough for doing this video! LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel! Mushrooms are my favorite and you make it so easy to follow along! Hugs and blessings sent your way. ♥Gina B

[@HEX1173]

You said "Aaaw Man" like I do. I'm so honored to use the same expletives as you. Do you ever get raw and throw out the "F" bomb or talk about your husband's gas? You should an "Emma Jane Raw". Adults only. And talk about what women really talk about when they're making art to heal their demons. I really love your work and you're so positive. My dad died yesterday and the painting is helping. Seriously condsder the "Emma Jane Raw" series. I think it would be a hit. Or I'll do it.

[@tanjam.-k.2693]

You painted so cute fairytale mushrooms, I like them. Thank you for sharing 🖌️🎨🍄

[@waukonstandard]

Awesome mushrooms! Love the blooms in differing colors

[@dotydiva]

Love the mushrooms.. I think I would do the masking fluid for the dots /circles on the red mushroom.. I love the bleeding look. Thanks for showing how to draw mushrooms. also loved the bear painting.

[@selenamorning]

You read my mind!! I have been painting mushrooms for the last few weeks!! I LOVE yours!!

[@nickelazoyellow7360]

Really amazing what a difference those little bits of shadow made at the end.

[@lynnwallrath8246]

I think this may be my favorite so far! LOVE your videos!

[@joanneramirez3430]

Me too I loved how mine came out

[@elisabruxvoort2190]

Good use for all the shades of browns I end up with on my palette!

[@AnnaKlinger]

The mushrooms look very charming! Like from fairy tale...Really nice:)

[@kimberlygilley524]

Love love love!! 🤗🍄💜 Thanks so much!

[@pottedferne]

I love this!!

[@brendacollinsdeeks7268]

LOVED THIS!!! I don't know how much practice it will take to master but I can't wait to dive in and try. Thanks so much for doing mushrooms!

[@kathleenrickard]

So pretty! You are so talented and fun to watch!

[@jakea1035]

So nice to be faced with a new idea. Thank you.

[@melindarincon7571]

Love this! Thank you for all your wonderful tutorials. I learn so much from you!

[@heatherrobbins3396]

Absolutely loved your tutorial! Can't wait to paint some!

[@gewwica2393]

I LOVE THIS SOOOOO MUCH ✨💗 PLEASE DO MORE 💮💗✨💫

[@NatPaintThat]

[@SaltLifeGypsy68]

I'm late to this party, but it's just the one I was looking for. Thanks for a great tutorial.

[@delorissamuelson6988]

Wow!! So lovely, I loved watching, I was so inspired!! Thank You!!

[@ilove2paint]

I love them!

[@deborahmeyers7839]

Absolutely gorgeous artwork Emma.. Hello to your baby ❤️

[@bludaizee24]

Just lovely!🍄💞

[@lizzy9975]

Definitely trying these - they look awesome!

[@NoreenCerroneArt]

So cute!!! I love the color choices you made here and the way you did the wet in wet on the caps. So nice. I have been experimenting a lot with dropping color in like this. I don't always get the effect I'm expecting lol

[@doraevatt8320]

Love them thanks for sharing

[@frithar]

Stems are only "mostly white" in the grocery stores. In the wild, you would be astounded at the colors nature gives!

[@Brezzy369]

I love these!!! 😍😍😍

[@kathiecranston1577]

Very cool. You should see "Steve Axford..." on KZbin when you have a few minutes. He's found crazy awesome mushrooms & fungus!

[@yoyea2807]

Thanks!

[@artgeometrix6346]

These are fantastic. A really excellent job well done.

[@akirakusakastudio6103]

So wonderful watercolor work 👍

[@pattymcclung3300]

So fun to actually follow along with you!! 🍄

[@PersianPrincess12]

amazing!!!!! i can't wait to try

[@nildavalencia5524]

Beautiful, I will paint the mushrooms and I subscribed! Thank you for making it so easy!!

[@amandaskovhansen]

These are SO nice! Thanks for the tutorial :)

[@smurf786able]

Beautiful!

[@anikibrother7691]

Thanks ! I'm painting mushrooms on mushrooms.

[@julianateixeira4115]

So cute! I love it! Kisses from Brazil!😘🇧🇷

[@patriciaharper6503]

Bellísimo!! Gracias!!!

[@suzithewitch]

I love this! Fun(?) fact about that red mushroom. It's called fly agaric or Amanita muscaria which is noted for it's toxic and hallucinogenic properties.🍄😲

[@FannaTurano]

Ooh, I like your last 2 words, Suzi the Sea Witch! Blast from the past!

[@Rita123xyz]

This would be a great gift idea to anyone that does shrooms.

[@paintingtheskykingdom9005]

Actually fly agaric is hallucinogenic only in certain circumstances and not in others the shamans in Siberia have used it but probably add other ingredients. This one can actually just make you sick. The deep purple or blue gilled ones are the ones that contain psylicybin but please get a book and join your local mushroom club before trying on your own as there are mirror examples that are literally destructive to the liver. You can actually get quite educated by reading books available online as well. Check out anything by Paul Stamets he knows amazing information about mushrooms and has a KZbin channel as well.

[@Imarathomas]

Love it!

[@luciajob1806]

Love the mushrooms. Can you show how to paint hummingbirds and butterflies ? Thank you

[@EvansCristi]

GRACIAS

[@jennyc5132]

Nooo Emma...there are YOUR mushrooms!!!!! Mine would stop any human from eating them they are down right scary!!!! Thanks for a great lesson💜💜...but I wonder how many times you practiced them before you did those for us??🤭🤭

[@DeniseBrooks1955]

💓💓💓

[@paularoper6243]

They look awesome! Someone already mentioned this but masking fluid would help the white dots. I would have loved to see a tiny fairy thing or the intension of one! Also, I have a question on masking fluid. I tried to do some dandelions using masking fluid but mine seems to go on so thick that I couldn't make small delicate marks. Any ideas?

[@janetalbot6529]

These were harder than they look. My colours bled too much lol but it still looks not too bad 😊

[@paintingtheskykingdom9005]

Same here she makes it look so easy but she is excellent at the technique of watercolor I'm impressed

[@paintingtheskykingdom9005]

Wow how many times did you practice this! Mine did not turn out so well I pick up too much water. Time to practice a bunch

[@papillonbleu2782]

C'est trop joli ! :)

[@marilyne4004]

❤️❤️❤️

[@mossie1954]

Hot or Cold watercolor paper did you use and what gsm?

[@fionafrazer8820]

Sorry - I found one like yours - Shappy Palette on Amazon!

[@sangeetabeads7162]

Please update your new color palette, you mentioned Brown Madder, it's not in your list

[@joanneramirez3430]

🍄💕💕

[@fionafrazer8820]

I clicked the link to your palette, hoping to find the one like yours with the extra 4 slots - the Amazon link show the regular 20 pan (which I already have). Do you know where you got yours?

[@quilter1958]

Emma - can you list the colors in your Professional palette? Thank you!

[@Lulis56]

quilter1958 Conte they are listed in her description.

[@FannaTurano]

All you have to do is it "show more" and the palette colors will show up. She lists the student and pro paints--all of which are terrific!
