Loose Watercolour Anemones

[@Betty50865]

I am 66 years old and am just beginning watercolor and love it! You are my favorite teacher. You are relaxed, loose and creative which helps me to relax, too. Thank you for showing up even when you don't feel like it.

[@43Marjorie]

I am 80 years old this year and have done other kinds of painting over the years Have always loved watercolors. Watching your tutorials, I know I can do this. Thank you so much for making it possible for me.

[@jwicks7612]

Beautiful as always!!!! Remember you are beautiful too!!!! Inside and out... thank you for being soooo real!!!! God Bless You and yours!!!! Tomorrow's gonna be a better day!!! 😊❤️👍

[@astrowhale1770]

As they said you are so natural and talented. And born as a teacher. I haven’t paint 30 years . It is great to back. And you helped a lot. Real BRAVO 👏🏼 To you

[@nancytestani1470]

You have a big sounding pooch..sounds wonderful. This is wonderful..I am going to try it because I love pinks,and reds and purples. Sp pretty.Hang in there and keep colouring.😍

[@PersonalEmpowermentChannel9988]

I just loved your tutorial! super well explained, and I love how naturally your words flow with the florals... It does not have to be perfect, I just loved it the way it was.... and this is how Life loves you - just the way you are🙂

[@burtfehringer2375]

Your art and words are fruitful and inspiring. I am recovering from a severe brain injury and watch your videos to give me ideas on how to paint florals. Then I make cards and send them to others who need a little lift. It heals my brain and hopefully is a blessing to others. Your honesty is like a salve....keep going .... baby steps! God bless you / Delinda

[@erikajennings9040]

YEA!!! I just love watching these bright but loose florals come to life!

[@fillybee3153]

Oh bless your heart! I want you to know that I suffer from PTSD and insomnia, and have been binge watching your videos. You have such a beautiful talent! I pray you start feeling better. I find It helps to just take it day by day. Love and hugs from Perth, Western Australia.

[@helenduplessis9820]

Bright flowers sure are a mood lifter!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@ingelanzenberger4207]

That is very ,very beautiful. ! I am 86 and just trying some watercolor! You are an excellent teacher, very relaxed and funny.

[@15sweatequity]

With COVID, pregnancy and this time of year, I believe you are doing fabulously. This and your last video on tulips are extremely helpful floral, technique videos.

[@cazzied5714]

From the bottom of my heart I say thank you for having the courage to do your KZbin. I have struggled with depression for nearly two decades now, I have a wonderful family and am thankful I am still here. Crafting is my go to place for respite from the world around me. The fact that you are doing your channel is a positive thing and knowing you are making many people happy doing it should bring a sprinkle of joy to you. Every day is a day beyond the last...there is great wisdom in the saying..smile and the world smiles too. Xx

[@cazzied5714]

Lily 2019.. I wasn’t for one mo saying Emma had depression. I have that. I’m saying that she brings joy to others by doing what she does. X

[@p.diplacido7472]

But she admitted she struggles with it and I admire her strength and love watching and learning from her videos❤️

[@donnakennedy87]

Cazzie, I echo your sentiment here as I too have struggled with depression for most of my life. And my studio is my safe haven. Some of my best works have come from unexpected days of sadness which helps me bounce right back. I can look back and say"Wow, that day turned into this work of art which found me in line at the Bank". Our biggest blessing is having amazing family around us. Keep crafting my friend. And yes, keep smiling. Donna, in California.

[@cazzied5714]

@@donnakennedy87 I am touched by your reply. Thank you. X

[@Lily-2019]

@@cazzied5714 Recently I've learned a little more about Emma. Maybe she does struggle with depression a bit. I became depressed after I got sick. I'm so sick of being sick. Sickness causes stress. But I just don't like talking about it. So at times I make light of it. Maybe I shouldn't. ~~~ I think, like many of Emma's followers, that she is good person, strong and very talented. I'm thankful for the videos she shares with us. Also I'd just like to say thankyou to you for your comment. Blessings 💖

[@yvonnedeshayes2907]

On a cold, cold day here in southern UK, this is just what the doctored ordered. Love anemones and you've painted them so beautifully, thanks again Emma. Think I'll try this in a mo. xx

[@susanperry8666]

I appreciate you coming on KZbin and showing me all this great watercolor technique you're one of my favorites to watch thank you

[@friedaschnell6887]

Wow! Even the dried colors are vibrant.Very lovely!

[@shellyalger3256]

The lines are beautiful! I'm a dreamer and student. I love your channel and have learned more from you than my class. If I'd have found you first, I would not have taken the class, just learn from you. The up close view in your videos far exceeds the classroom where I can't see her instruction. I am 65 and have time now to do things I've not been able to before and, includes learning watercolor. Im not at all an artist but am learning and your instruction is perfect!!! Thank you so much. ☺️

[@pamelacarey5743]

You have an amazing talent I have learned so much from you.. I have dealt with anxiety and depression for many years so I know how debilitating it can be, I pray that you will start to feel better, know that you aren't alone in this struggle. You are the first artist I started watching when I was gong through chemo and told to get a hobby, you helped me so much I hope my prayers will help you.

[@cheryladams9385]

I like the addition of the lines. They give the petals dimension while still keeping the look loose. Before the flowers looked like flat blobs of color. Love your work, you are a great artist. Thank you for making such wonderful and informative videos.

[@morgenmachen2400]

Beautiful! Loose florals are often underestimated , they require more skill than I think others may assume. I usually tend to paint land scapes and botanicals, but when I'm in the mood to watch paint move and benefit from the therapeutic quality of color, this is where I go! And BTW, I know what you mean about not feeling so great. I'm so happy and grateful that you were able to get a video out. Your videos bring me and many others happiness. I just wanted to say that.

[@giapreston2840]

sometimes you are the beauty in MY life! I have started water coloring because of you and have faithfully done the exercises and tutorials - it is the best way to relax and I can't thank you enough for sharing so the rest of us can create!! Also - my husband says I am much calmer now ;-) so he thanks you as well....!

[@chapstikcrazy]

Wow, these are gorgeous, and way outside of my skill level, but I had fun messing around. Love anemones and peonies too. Can't wait until I can make them look good! Jumping into something creative again to hopefully manage my depression. Thank you for these videos.

[@lindareetz]

I think the paper has a lit to do with the outcome! My florals do not bleed like yours do, therefore the lines do not blend as well. blend as well.

[@BarBaraWhorleyCrawfordESS]

Beautiful. I’m so thankful for your ability to share your gift and your heart. I think there is a collective sadness in the world right now for so many. Huge hugs of lightness of being. ❤️🌸🌺❤️

[@southworthfamily4937]

This ia a cheerful painting. The winter cold is taking its toll so it is nice to do a nice warm weather painting. Thank you.

[@laurieerlemeier3921]

I love how real you are! Everyone else seems to be so produced, staged. I love your videos, done in real time, with your family in the background. It's life!❤🤗

[@PhoebeBPeobodyBB]

Thank you for sharing your talent and for making watercolor accessible to the rest of us. I love that you are so honest about your anxiety and depression. I, too, am trying to normalize these conditions so that people will know they’re nothing to be ashamed of. If I can help one person with my honesty, then I have been successful. Keep up the good fight and remember that February is more than half-over. 💪🏼👏🏻👩🏼‍🎨💐

[@donnabirney817]

I loved the light and looseness of this style. Thanks so much ! fun and relaxing!

[@sandeeruss9665]

I love your tutorials and your teaching style. I really learn so much from you. You are a very kind, non judgmental , encouraging person. I hope you feel better soon. I also hope you know you make a difference to so many people. I look forward to each new tutorial and I am never disappointed.

[@isabelpichel2780]

Beautiful , beautiful !!...The loose aquarela and you!!!!

[@cecilehoare3053]

I love the added lines, makes it look more like an illustration of the Anemones! Beautiful colours!

[@leannepattullo7187]

So sorry you are feeling kind of down lately Emma - our winters here in Canada can be long and depressing sometimes but lockdowns certainly add to it - hang in there and please know that your wonderful videos cheer up so many others - they certainly do for me anyway !

[@brendawinner1971]

Oh bless your heart, been there done that on my darker days, or weeks, it’s not fun, but finding ways, like painting helps bring us out some. These are beautiful loose flowers.

[@marycope2278]

If your area is as gray looking and sunless as Detroit, it is no wonder you are feeling down. Also, you are a stay-at- home mom with a little person who, while you love him to pieces, doesn't provide a whole lot of intellectual stimulation. And you cannot gather with other adults now because of lockdown. You are doing a great job with your channel and I appreciate your talent and videos.

[@ruthkoster4140]

Purple is my favorite color. And you can talk just fine Emma and i also have days that i don’t always feel great.

[@grammygg]

So beautiful! The bright colors are uplifting! I think the lines add such a realistic touch. I began exploring watercolors a few months ago and look forward to your videos. Many great tips. Thank you Emma!

[@glendapotter9525]

I just started today to watch some watercolor tutorials because I would like to try it. This is my 3rd video of yours and I'm going to re-watch them tomorrow and give it a try Even if it doesn't turn out I do know that it takes practice. But I wanted you to know that you are a great teacher and your videos are so relaxing and make me happy. Thankyou so much

[@susananthony2084]

Keep doing what you do, Emma. You have a rare talent.

[@eithnecourtney4854]

Thanks so much Emma,doesn’t look anything like yours but am still delighted with it. You are a wonderful teacher 🙏❤️

Absolutely beautiful and bright and happy!! Just what we need in these dark times. Hope we can all get back to normal soon!! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@1964cornell]

I like purpley pink 🌸 I love watching you paint. It helps me to keep trying...I've been wanting to give up until I watched this!

[@renatecormick7399]

Emma, it’s winter! you’re allowed to feel lousy. I can say that seeing as I live in Queensland, Australia and right now it’s 30 degrees and humid. I must say though it’s always a joy to see you paint flowers. You do it so well. This one is so eye-catching and beautiful. Cheer up, we all love your videos.

[@LLS1190]

Counting the days until the dreary skies start to clear or at least the temperatures rise a little for some neighborhood walks. Beautiful project. Can't wait to try it!

I think this would be a lovely one to try for Mother’s Day.

Emma, you ARE amazing! Whatever funk you’re in now, it will pass. You have brightened everyone with your gift. I will be praying for you!!! Tiffani

[@sueroork8452]

Emma your tutorials are wonderful! I’ve started to watch videos where they didn’t speak at all, or some where they never stop talking! Yours are great!

I felt the petal flecks gave the already beautiful flowers depth

I like watercolor painting and painting flowers, Painting flowers is difficult, technique is very important, your method is very good, like watching your painting process, I also like watercolor, thank you for sharing!

[@patsyannriendeau5971]

I am hoping that you are feeling better. Your video is so uplifting and I hope it was for you. I love your flowers and I will now try to do some myself.

I love the vibrant colours you picked. They are very natural. Having the greens sure makes it more real too. Thank you so much Emma to brighten our winter :-)

[@margaritavillacorta790]

I love these flowers, they can really brighten a gloomy day. Thank you!

[@lisalewis4433]

Love it both ways but my preference would be to add that little detail of texture. BEAUTIFUL as always!!! Thank you for sharing your talents.

[@jakea1035]

Thank you for the "Lift" winter has had its turn. Roll on Spring.

[@mariabergeron8702]

What a inspiring water coloring idea thank you!

[@marysematteoda9076]

Superbe video 👍 Un bouquet pour offrir 😍

[@orphanawareness]

I think the lines really added a ton of dimension AND I love that you did them in watercolor to show how wet on dry works so differently from wet on wet

[@xkini07]

I know how hard it was to put this painting session together. My desk is full of sketches that you have inspired me to do. It has been difficult to pick up a paint brush. I hope you find a florist and can enjoy some real flowers. Thankfully my orchids bloom now and I always have color. I appreciate your wanting to keep all our spirits up. Be well, Emma.

[@Linda-td5si]

Gorgeous, Emma! Thank you for this lovely tutorial! You are so inspiring!🥰🌟💐🎨

[@laurelb4193]

Ahhh the petals look so soft and the colors are eye candy

[@annettegarcia1950]

Yes! I really like the addition of the little lines in the petals... beautiful! Thank you!

[@miriamsala6056]

This looks lovely. Can’t wait to give it a go! These flowers always make me think of my Dad who died when I was very young (over 50 years ago so long time, not looking for sympathy!) but mention as I have very few memories of him so this will be a lovely project for me, thank you x

[@LipsitaArt]

The flowers are really pretty and colorful. Thanks for sharing.

[@martihurford]

First of all, love the finished watercolor. The lines were the perfect touches. Second, love the fact you have lace wrapped around your water jar. It adds your personality to it. Like I use a 1950’s green ashtray to rest my brushes on while painting. The ashtray is deep enough to hold water on each side of the brush (cigarette) holders. May try that instead of using small canning jars. Thanks Emma for a great teaching video. . . Yes it was. 💖☃️💖. P.S. I’m in the process of working with my Foster Golden Retriever to not bark at every person and/or animal that walks by the picture window of my house. 🦮♥️

[@martinarett3460]

So quick! I love the colours you used. The petals look fluffy and light. Great instructions 😊🇨🇦!

[@karentozer1871]

Hi Emma, this could possibly be my favourite painting, I love the deep, bright colours, it certainly made me feel better just watching you do this. I like it both ways, with or without the markings. I’ve not use my craft amp bamboo brushes yet, I’m having a no motivation to paint period, but I think you may have made me want to get going and try to do this😀 I have so many ‘favourite flowers,, especially daffodils, but these are omens are way up there as well xx Hope you are feeling better soon, look after yourself and if you need a break, take one, we have lots of videos to go back to watch xx we will still be here when you return xx

[@lindacsmith13]
