What makes a painting interesting many times is not exactly the subject but the combination of colors used and how they catch your eye. Great video!👏🏼👏🏼

[@ChantelleArts]

That’s actually a fantastic idea, having paper inside that you can directly use watercolour on 😊 looks like a great book, thanks for sharing

[@tricraftual4316]

Right after I watched this today I ordered A Field Guide to Color! I’m new at watercolor in think this will be great for me! Thanks for the heads up!

[@mariem5990]

Thanks Emma. I love colour !

[@monicaduncan3979]

Thanks for opening up my understanding 🎨

[@susanwhite1450]

I've had this book for a couple of years but never really dived into it too deeply. Thanks for sparking my interest again.

[@dianeruggles8680]

Thank You!! ❤️ I really feel I could use this information and would enjoy the "workbook" part of the exercises!!

[@PayneWaterStudio]

The just ordered the field book yesterday and gets here today! I also recommend Drawing and Painting Expressive Little Faces: Step-by-Step Techniques for Creating People and Portraits with Personality--Explore Watercolors, Inks, Markers, and More (it’s cute and silly) AND Urban Watercolor Sketching: A Guide to Drawing, Painting, and Storytelling in Color (it’s so chaotic and beautiful)

[@wendykelcey1246]

I have both flower books. They really are awesome!

[@treesapgrl]

I bought myself the field guide a few weeks ago so I'm very excited to see you got it and love it, too. Thanks, Emma!

[@Alliekat423]

You should check out Lisa Solomon’s Color Meditation Deck as well. It’s great for endless prompts- for when you are out of ideas or overwhelmed by what to paint. It’s great for inspiration and practice.

[@roseannebyrne7233]

You, me, books!!! I’m addicted. This one looks amazing. Skipping the other one but if anyone ever comes up with an Aussie version I’ll be on to it. But then we have lots f exotic plants here as well. Oops in my shopping bag. 🩷💛❤️💜💚

[@ambermcnabb-sp9zd]

Thank you 🙏🏻for your awesome reviews on watercolour books Emma very helpful 😄I’ve ordered my Copy of Field Guide to Colour so excited to get it!!! I am new to your channel and to watercolours and loving this medium am really enjoying your tutorials you are a wonderful teacher keep them coming!!!

[@Oceans1974]

I got this one at Christmas and will be diving into it more.

[@karendirmish2696]

I’m excited for your book reviews, and this one Field Guide To Color, is added to my wish list! I am a Book Freak and proud of it! Thanks Karen Dirmish 9:46

[@ellaniwalker4796]

Thank you for sharing the books and the arches! So pretty! Love and light!💖🌟🌹

[@katherineh.6852]

Come ON I just got the bouquet book in the mail and new brushes and new paint and paper. I'm gonna go broke 🤣 surprised my hubs didn't tweak when he saw all our packages

[@AnitasDreams]

Thanks for the info on the books. Color theory is so fun to play with.

[@jmoss55ish]

I have the Field guide to Color as well. Just received the Flower Color Guide today.

[@nancypyter1511]

What a fun book, I will put it on my list Emma. Looked like a fun exercise!🥰

[@love2create62]

That workbook looks amazing! So full of helpful information!

[@sarahwold1536]

Ordered and received! Read it cover to cover and will now delve into the meditation exercises. Helps me with color combos...I seem not to be very good at it...at least I think. Thanks for the review.

[@msfrehel8758]

This looks amazing! I put it immediately on my wish list 🎨😉👍 Thank you!

[@r.liebgott1543]

Went to buy your book a few weeks ago and this popped up in my feed, so bought it too…😊

[@EmmaLefebvre]

Amazing!

[@Leti_louu]

I just ordered my Flower Color Guide book too! Been on my cart for weeks until I saw your vid (and conveniently on sale)

[@foxykc]

I am going to get that. I am currently working out of YOUR book as well which is one of the best I've ever acquired.

[@EmmaLefebvre]

Ahhh! Thank you!!

[@BeverlyLeeCreates]

Tha k you for sharing with us

[@ShellyColours2]

Thank you Emma... Books look great 👍

[@tara-lee]

More money spent. Thanks a lot for my empty wallet, Emma.😂 Seriously though, I love them all!!

[@EmmaLefebvre]

Haha sorry! I have the same problem!

[@RendaJane]

Added to my wish list. This book looks amazing and what I “need”.

[@ChristinaLorenzen]

I actually have had the Field Guide to Color. I love the book but I'm hesitant about painting directly in the book for fear of the water causing pages to stick together. How was painting in the book?

[@junehulton9776]

Wow very interesting...thanks for sharing...

[@madelinegrudens]

These look very useful! How is the paper to paint on? Thanks for sharing 🤩

[@EmmaLefebvre]

It’s good! Nice and thick!

[@4streegrrrl601]

great....another book to add to my collection (A Field Guide to Color) when I'm really trying hard to NOT spend more money on books and supplies. Thanks, Emma. 😂 btw, when did you get such a crazy number of subscribers/followers? I found you early in the pandemic - literally the first watercolour channel I started following (because: fellow Canadian) and look at you now! Congrats 😊

[@sonyaoart]

oooh I love the look of the Field Guide. What is the paper like quality-wise?

[@EmmaLefebvre]

It’s pretty good! I wouldn’t say it’s high quality cotton paper but it’s fine to work in the book! Nice and thick!

[@sonyaoart]

@@EmmaLefebvre fantastic, thank you Emma! I guess I'll have to order it then... really enjoying the second box, btw :)

[@sarahwold1536]

Suggested in the book that you work on other paper to keep book from warping/curling, etc. Not a bad thing but I think I will do on other paper.

[@franciscogomes4416]

Half the book are black page(templates)? Not buying
