I like the difference between starting with darker values vs starting with lighter. 👍🏻

Fascinating to compare...

32 minutes. Wow. I have been watercolor painting for 3 years now and I can't fathom doing that in 32 minutes, LOL. I am a very slow learner (and pretty hard headed). I'm glad I found your channel and I subscribed today. :) Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks!

This video is great! You’re truly a great artist who knows the grounds. I’m still at the stage where I can take 1.5hrs to complete a painting where you probably would only need 15mins🥴🥴 Need this tip to keep myself sane and quick (especially I have a little toddler whom I only get me time when she sleeps 🤣).

[@dinaprimasari]

Thank you for the tips! Can't wait to join your online course next month ❤️

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

I would love to see you there! 💕

[@laurensakuma4160]

WOW! This is awesome! I really have to go back to practice but I still find it challenging to squeeze in time for watercolour painting especially with homeschooling my little girl. Thanks for sharing this video on tips and tricks! This is what I need to paint fast with watercolors!

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

Goodness I know! I think learning to paint fast for me is a direct result of having two small children! I'm in the same boat right now, doing home learning with my 1st grader. Best of luck, and thanks for your comment!

[@jinimurray4090]

@@EmilyOlsonArt --- So, paint while you teach are in homeschooling. That's what I did.

[@cindyrroberts]

Fabulous demonstration and explanation.

[@MiniMu-2008]

[@EmilyOlsonArt]
