Is it really necessary to rudely comment on another person’s allergy or sinus issue? Why, in today’s society must people be so unkind? Whatever happened to “if you have nothing kind to say, say nothing at all?” This gal is very talented, and is kind enough to share this talent with everyone for FREE, mind you. I, for one, appreciate it..

[@isabelle12981]

You so right

[@roz1939]

1:45. Watching your tutorials has allowed me in less than 3 months to paint 2 florals that are now framed and proudly hanging in my living room. I have never tried watercolor before but loved the watercolor pictures decorating my home. I am 83 years of age and having the time of my life with watercolor painting. It is very uplifting to see my progress from watching your tutorials. I cannot thank you enough!

[@brendareed5050]

you are an inspiration!

Wow, good for you! Gives me hope, I turned 70 last year and just started watercolor painting.😊

During this Covid 19 lockdown and being high risk due to having COPD,I watched this because for years I have wanted to use waterpaint,so at 63 I have just bought paint, brushes etc,thank you so much for giving me inspiration to give it a go..... keep safe everyone love from Scotland 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌈

Same here, my first time trying them today, had a practice but not up to par yet, good luck

[@mrs8357]

When I feel overwhelmed with all that's possible in watercolor I can come back to this video and it gives me courage to begin again with something small, simple yet beautiful!

[@sanyuktashekawat106]

The translucent effects and the colourful bright flowers all look so pretty ❤️

[@donnamikasa]

I love the translucency of the images--so ethereal!

[@pickledpepper6576]

Hey!! I just bought your WaterColour lesson book and here you are in my feed!! Excited to learn at the ripe old age of almost 50.

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

I love these. Very pretty. They would make great, quick watercolor cards to have on hand for any occasion. I painted on Arches and also on a Strathmore watercolor card and I don’t recommend this technique on anything but 100% cotton paper like Arches or Bee or Strathmore 500 series, etc., because you’ll end up with hard edges and blooms (back-runs, cauliflowers.) That pretty much goes for most paintings, but Emma’s technique for these layered flowers needs good paper. If you want your end result to look like hers, use the paper she’s using 😘.

[@vangogo6819]

I agree, I tried this technique with a lesser quality paper and got a lot of "blooms", "cauliflowers"etc. Tried again using my Arches paper with no problem. I have to say Emma makes this look so easy but when I did this it took a few practice runs. Sometimes we all need a little humbling,lol.🤣🤗

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

Van Gogo, she does make it look easy. I tend to paint on the tighter side and try so hard to loosen up. When I do it just doesn't look the same, initially. If I leave it alone and look at it a few days later I'm usually pleased. It's the leaving it alone I struggle with. I've ruined more paintings I care to admit to by fiddling and adding that "one last layer."

[@vangogo6819]

@@ChristinaTodd1970 Me too, I have learned the hard way after more paintings than I even want to think about that it is best to stop the minute you say to yourself, hmm, should I? NO! You shouldn't! Just walk away and no one will get hurt,lol, but seriously it does take a lot to not overdo a painting. I'm learning to slow down and be patient but it's not easy.

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

[@whiskyyarn2234]

I’ve been watching a few of your videos at night when I have a quiet child free moment to myself. You’ve got such wonderful talent. You make something very impressive in such a small amount of time. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. I love the fact you’ve used the translucency of the medium to dramatic effects lost like sun illuminating the petals from behind them. So beautiful. Thank you from Australia.

[@KaushikiAnartistfromsoul]

The petals look so fresh! an example of a fine artwork! loved the simplicity yet classic. Beautiful share!

[@simpleartideas]

Your flowers are very beautiful with perfectly delicate petals. The entire process is relaxing.

[@melindaavila498]

So Pretty! I decided to learn watercolor in part because it looked so enjoyable and part because I stay at home because of COVID19. I am a proud 75 years and want to learn something new. Thank you so much for your tutorials! I enjoy them so much.

[@RachelStormborn]

I am VERY artistically challenged and I love how easy you make these tutorials. Even *I* have been happy with my results.

[@autumncarroll2532]

I have been watching (and trying) your tutorials non-stop for the past two days now and I cannot tell you how fantastic you are as a teacher - probably the best on KZbin. For the first time ever I am beginning to understand and enjoy watercolour painting after some 3 years of trying. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[@naomileroux2498]

Thanks Emma, great tutorial. Love the sheer flowers, they look so delicate.

[@cmason2365]

Very pretty! Layering with watercolours is not as easy as it sounds. I am very grateful for my heat tool. When I get started I don't want to stop. I want to watch my painting unfold in all it's watercolour beauty, or not, with my heat tool I can continue and my colours don't get muddy. I enjoyed your tutorial. My favorite part was how beautiful and easy you made your leaves. I am LEAF CHALLENGED. Thanks for sharing!👍💛💜

[@poofadieppa]

I just started doing watercolor during the lockdown and loved this tutorial! I'm using it to make a mother's day card for my mom. Thank you for putting these out!!

[@bobhalowell7688]

Wow, so transparent and vibrant, breathtaking flowers! I need to practice this technique more...

Oh my gosh, this is a fabulous technique. It can be used for so many things. I would’ve never thought of this on my own, thank you for sharing it with all of us. I love love love it!!!

[@donnarosebusa3863]

Oh I see!! Thank you! I thought Layering was only for landscapes, so this was very nice! I'll practice it tonight, thank you, Emma! As always, your videos are easy to understand.

[@marlenejones6266]

The transparency is so well done if you stare at the flower long enough it is like it is goin in and out of focus. Absolutely fabulous. I'm doin this later when I'm done with errands

[@isabeltipple9942]

Really enjoyed this one. Sometimes, you just want to do something simple andplay around with colour as a warm up whilst at the same time, not wasting materials. This is perfect for that. Thanks again

[@kimsargeant8126]

Thank you, Emma, I think I will make a selection of these to have ready to glue to blank cards as needed. I just bought some cotton hot press paper that I think will work nicely.

Hi Emma i started to paint in watercolors last Christmas because I did,nt have the money to buy the holiday cards that I wanted to get , but I must say thank you to you and ellen crimi-trent for the educational insight on how to go about it and I think the cards meant much more than the bought ones even though the paint and paper ain't cheap, it worked out better though and I think what you,ve shown here is ace , I might even pick the brush up again if there still here so thanks again and a big hello from the UK 🎨
