How To Paint Watercolour Cherry Blossoms

[@ela_skvela1823]

Dear Ema! I just finished painting step by step with you and I have an incredibly beautiful branch of Sakura in front of me and I'm just sitting here looking at it and I still can't believe how amazing it looks 🥹 You're awsome and I thank you for this mood booster 🩷 I was painting on the pale blue/baby blue paper and used white gel pen instead of ink. It’s just perfect! Thanks a million, you are the best

[@JoyceDlugokinski]

I have been watercoloring for only 18 months. But I have learned so much from you and you have inspired me to be more confident and courageous when I paint. So thank you so much for all you share. ♥️

[@lizmiller7681]

I love watching you bring the painting to life w such ease. I have to rewind and go very slowly, and still do not get anywhere near the same results, but I learn so much from you w every attempt. Thanks so much!

[@Galbereth]

I did this tutorial a while ago and it came out not too bad, amazingly!! It's now pinned to the lounge wall! I also made a couple of birthday cards for friends. Thank you so much Emma! You are a fab teacher. Love from Mel in Devon, UK 🍰🌻

The cherry blossoms turned out beautifully! I’ve been working on a series that incorporates a lot of plant studies, and this is making me want to add cherry blossoms to my next painting 😁

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

So glad you addressed the BEE PAPER issue... I thought I was the only one that couldn't find it and l too have tried to get ahold of them via IG and not a peep. I purchased 2 of the 50pk 90lb 100% cotton wc paper and I regret not buying more. I only have one pack left and I wish I would have went back for the 140lb when they were still on Amazon. I wasn't too sure about the quality and even at 90lb it works so nicely! If I hear anything I'll let you know Emma! Hugs from Massachusetts! Laura...

[@brightsmiles1962]

Lettering By Laura The pandemic has made it so hard to get supplies. Especially art or sewing supplies. Everyone wants to have a creative outlet. Hopefully this will all change for the good 😊. We are all in this together! If we run out of paper maybe we can all paint on our walls 🙂

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

@@brightsmiles1962 Yes! Tell me about it! I'm shocked on the prices too! I would usually pay less then $30 for some watercolors buy paid $49 today... I'm going to try some of Arteza's 100% cotton wc and see how that goes. They are the only ones that don't seem to be price gouging...

[@brightsmiles1962]

Lettering By Laura I spend more time looking for supplies sometimes than actually being in my craft room. I actually enjoyed to local stores for finds, but lately I just leave them frustrated by their offerings. Ohio

[@inmarosillocardona5145]

[@foxymochakitten]

I love the video! I'm actually planning a piece involving cherry blossoms specifically so this came at the exact right time! (also "how paint paint" has me cracking up!)

[@EmmaLefebvre]

Tyler Cumbersnitch omg how did I not notice that!? Haha. Thank you! 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@zzcrowe792]

So pretty!!

[@happyvero293]

Merci Emma 🙏😊

[@galedar1537]

The shading was wonderful! Such a pretty painting! I feel like the branch could have used bit of contrasting color to make it look less flat. Thanks!

[@Kyomiibrown]

The Bee paper shortage in the UK will be due to Covid-19. I’ve noticed a significant amount of imported art supplies are increasing in price due to low stocks/lack of availability due to covid-19 delays/restrictions surrounding imports. PS: A nicely priced 100% cotton paper is Hahnemuhle expressions. You can get a watercolour block of 20 sheets at 9 x 12 inch for around £12. It’s worth the money.

[@lizzy9975]

The bee paper shortage is everywhere - not just the UK. I'll keep the Hahnemuhle in mind though!

[@Kyomiibrown]

chaserkitty Probably still related to covid, perhaps due to an ingredient used, because in February, the paper was easily sourced. The Hahnemuhle expressions is better quality though.

[@monthiandrade7561]

Happy mother's day Emma

[@Silvanerin1]

Really very nice. I like, that you make your own mistakes and laugh about it. That’s really good.

Oh I was waiting for this video on the cherry blossom and the details of the blooms. Like, I didn't know they had red stems or red sheaves at bottom of the blossom. I painted the lose cherry blossom (which are very pretty by the way) that you had in the card video before this one and I was wondering what else I could add to them but well now I know! Ya!!!! Thank you. Believe me I tried looking on the internet for pictures of a close up of the blooms but no luck. So thank you so much!!! 😷🧤😊😎🌴FL.

[@sandraneale128]

Exquisite! Well done! Please tell me what is that stuff you soften your colours and make them looser?❤️🦋

[@gillianc8106]

I have the same issue with Bee watercolour paper (I’m in Scotland). I love using the ready cut 6x9”, 100% cotton, cold pressed sheets for practice as the paper is very good value for the quality, and it saves my Arches and Saunders Waterford for best. I’m getting to the end of my supply of Bee and I can’t find it for sale anywhere! If anyone knows where I can still buy this paper, I’d be grateful for a heads-up. Thank you for your videos, Emma. Your presentation style is so informal and friendly, but I learn so much from watching your tutorials. :)

[@loveandlife4222]

The paper mill that made the bee paper closed its doors putting bee paper out of business. I’m so sad about it. It was the best paper for practice and all not real serious painting. I don’t know what I’ll use now. Luckily I was able to get 3 sketchbooks before they were all gone. The cherry blossoms are so beautiful! I found myself wanting you to add more and more flowers and make it all fat. Happy Mother’s Day to you! Tell daddy he and baby get to spoil you! 😁

[@rllhobbit]

I like the stonehenge aqua cold press

[@brightsmiles1962]

So sad

[@loveandlife4222]

I love Stonehenge also but it’s expensive. I’m hoping for a less expensive 100% cotton option.

[@SuperTenede]

Ver y nice! Pelease what paper aérea You using?

[@lachouetlo]

merveilleux merci

[@thearchivemermaid2033]

I know what I’m doing tomorrow! Cherry blossoms, I adore them. For the longest time I always thought Maid Marians ring (in the Disney animated Robin Hood) was a cherry blossom.

I was looking for a cherry blossom tutorial and found this!!! It got in my recommended 11 months later than it was uploaded😂

[@celticbabs3105]

I'm SO glad I am not the only person who drops their paint brush over their newly finished painting!!! LOL In fact, I usually ruin my newly finished paintings in some way or other, totally clumsy moves like dropping brushes WITH PAINT ON THEM right in the center of my painting. Can't tell you how many times I've done that. :\ When I am done, I RUN AWAY....

Hi new beginner here, I'm going to attempt this, you are wonderful at explaining. My question is the paints, I see yours look lile little pots but they are nit in a pot ahape , more like drops of paint from a tube , is that what you use?

Michaels stores clearanced out their wc bee paper couple months ago. Wish I knew I would have picked more up. Can't find it from blicks or anyone else either. Loved price w coupon from Michaels.

[@brightsmiles1962]

Horse woman2000. Our American Craft stores are starting to streamline their brands, eliminating many of our choices. Some only offering their brand. Anyone else notice this sad, cost saving trend? I will be buying online mostly, I am disappointed when I drive a distance and can’t find what I want

@@brightsmiles1962 but have you noticed michaels and joanns sells daniel smith wc paints. And michaels also sells winsor newton wc. Great prices when coupon used. I have been stocking up on daniel smith paints this way until they shut down the stores. Waiting for them to reopen soon.
