[@carolyndaughton3373]

Emma, this video says SO MUCH about you! Listening to you share what helped you as an artist, and promoting other artist's books and channels shows the kind of person you are, kind, confident, and a person that enjoys seeing others succeed. Thank you for this tutorial.

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Well that was incredibly sweet!! Thank you so much! I’m honored to be on that list with other amazing artists. Can’t wait to see your book when it comes out, very exciting! ❤️❤️

[@EmmaLefebvre]

Thanks Jenna! You’ve been an inspiration of mine from the start!

[@suzannehulton2571]

[@afishcalledmeg]

@@EmmaLefebvre Can’t wait for your book to come out! Love your videos Emma! @Jenna Rainey Your books seem very helpful and you are an incredible artist.

[@julianneanderson6239]

I was introduced to watercolor through Sarah Simon's (The Mint Gardener) watercolor class in Seattle. Her class is amazing and I absolutely love her book!

[@suzannehulton2571]

I love the idea of just open the flower book and paint. I might try that I have alot of these books

[@lievemartens6875]

Hello dear Emma! I already have 4 of the books. They are indeed very beautiful and instructive! Your other suggestions will also be on my wish list😀 I can't wait for your book to come out! Good luck, no pressure, and enjoy the writing! A big hug! Lieve. 🌿😘❤🍀🍀🍀

[@chaoticgood8645]

Oh my gosh please do a flower roulette video that sounds really fun

[@sandrafletcher4473]

OMG I just came back from a trip to Michael’s … 4 of the books you listed I picked up and looked at and added to my list to buy. Two of the books your listed by Jenna Rainey I have… go to know I’m on the right track

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

For flower roulette plan maybe use a random number generator.

[@roden70]

Thanks for these book recommandations! For who likes loose and dynamic watercolour I can recommend the books of Jean Haines.

[@PensandPaint]

Great video. Like the idea of flower roulette.

[@11cyndee]

5 books I want already

[@jennifertait2287]

Hi Emma! Thanks for your videos. I have Mako’s No Fail Watercolor Book. I love it.

[@moctotnhat3028]

this is so beautiful so inspiring and helpful!

[@acrylictales4459]

I already added Jenna's book to my cart (for my bday gift, my bdsy is coming up XD). Do you have any good suggestions for gouache books?

[@anna.sunbliss]

Look for "Creative Gouache" by Ruth Winslow and "Painting Nature with Clare" by Clare Therese Gray

[@xXSubScorpionXx]

Feminism is very present on this video, no one can deny it

[@judymcinnis]

The first person I found on KZbin on watercolour painting was Jenna. And I found you.😀 I have since sold my watercolor paintings in my home province of Ontario and then as far south as Texas. I also have learned to paint in acrylic and have sold a painting to somebody in British Columbia, Canada. By the way, I started painting for the first time in the spring of 2021. Thanks Emma for some book recommendations. Always looking to learn more.🌺

[@vedaanderson7009]

Yay ! Happy for You !

[@Goldi-Luc]

I'd love to look at your work!

[@joannaredekop3198]

WHY can't you read the color palette??😢 I am not good at mixing colors and that would help me. I'm talking about thenback of the last book. THANK you for this video of interesting tutorial books

[@emilysun3556]

感谢分享。正想给孩子买关于水彩的书，但是又不知道买哪一本，很感谢您把每本书都简明概要的介绍了一遍。

[@shilpikakkar3908]

I recently got the book “the joy of watercolour” as a gift and I will definitely recommend it for beginners and professional

Is Anna Mason, not interesting, than these "craps" you've got???!

[@simply-watercolors]

what about hello Watercolor by Jeanie Dickson

[@montserratvallveviladoms4949]

Thank you!! Very interesting!!

[@daisydaisy3316]

So I am watching this video on my iPad, and the bokeh snowdrop painting video on my computer! Plus I am really looking forward to your book coming out Emma, I’m sure it will be the best 😁

[@km8559]

Thank you so much for these information! I will definitely look into those books and buy some. You are a great teacher! I have learned so much from you, and will do more

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Hi Emma!! New subbie to your channel! Great review of WC books. I’ve got and love DanaF’s workbook. Thanks for the other recommendations! 🥰🤩👍🏾🤣

[@afishcalledmeg]

Thanks so much for the video! It’s fun to see different watercolor styles. I have recently gotten “Hello Watercolor!” by Jeannie Dickson and it’s so so helpful and has a chart of letters in calligraphy that I love. I definitely recommend it.

[@emilykoch3104]

You should look up the new book by Sarah Simon If you like Dana Fox book and how you paint in it that is how Sarah’s new book is. And the one downfall to me about Dana book is the paper and Sarah’s book the paper in there can take a lot of water and strokes. It is really a fun book!

[@patmoyer4901]

Thank you for sharing this information. You are very generous and sweet. I've been watching your videos for a while now and always enjoy them.

[@julybarabash4473]

When a preview of this video came I was pretty sure that first book you recommended was yours) definitely your style of painting. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@darshilruhela4139]

Thank you, these books seem really helpful and I am definitely going to buy at least in of them. I hope they can help me to improve my paintings.

[@kayecurren3342]

Jenna and Emma. What a combo. My mentors.

[@dawnpehle9803]

I can't wait for your book to come out! I have and love Jenna's book too. One of my favorite books is the New Botanical Painting book by Harriet De Winton. Her paintings are so amazing to me. How she paints floral with such precision is a skill I aspire to......

[@EmmaLefebvre]

Yes! That’s another I need to get my hands on! And watercolour botanicals by Eunice Sun

[@monicablock7415]

So excited because I actually received one of those books for Christmas and am reading it currently!

[@angelagarner6248]

Those Emma Block books were so fun to paint along with. Very easy-to-follow, detailed instructions. She has a new book out in April, I believe.

[@ColorfullyOptimistic]

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. I have only 2 of these but def would love to get the rest

[@roden70]

Emma, why haven't you got a book of your own?

[@afishcalledmeg]

@roden70 She does! 😊 I believe that it’s on Amazon, and can be preordered. I think it comes out in October. Very Exciting!

[@tkkozeluh]

Thank you so much for expanding my wishlist on Amazon! I enjoy your videos very much. When are you going to do a book?

[@gayleh3508]

I love the flower roulette idea!

[@annaorrino260]

Thank you for the information on these books it was so helpful. In your opinion when I create art from these books or from tutorials on KZbin, can I sell them as my own? Or is that a disservice to the artist? I need to understand this because I would never want to do anything dishonoring to artists that are teaching me.

[@cakzero388]

Emma, I just started doing watercolors about 4 months ago. I have been following you on YT and have learned a lot and really enjoy your instruction on painting. I picked up a book by Dana Fox , In the Forest and am really enjoying it ! Thank you your suggestions. Am looking forward to watching and painting with you on all your videos. I still need a lot of practice but am having so much fun 😊

[@myyoga8spa]

Thank you for sharing Emma, that was nice. I was actually looking for some great books I’m not really familiar with watercolors but I’ve always wanted to try . 🥰🙏🏻

[@migdaliarodriguez3652]

Saludos compré tus pinceles aun los estoy esperando.Si puedes ayudarme te lo agradeceré

[@deniseb2571]

What timing I JUST got Everyday Watercolor two days ago!

[@maryannknox7158]

Blessings Emma your are looking beautiful glowing God Bless you and your Family

[@cindyp.9030]

I was looking at the reviews for the Watercolor in the Jungle book. There were comments about the paper quality in the book not being good, I was wondering if you found that to be true since you did a couple of the paintings in it that you showed us? Myself I would copy the image onto other paper rather that paint in the book (in cause I messed it up) but I was wondering what your experience was? Thank you for the great video, I will be checking out several of the books.

[@astrokier]

Wow, your drawing in that book is almost identical- just enlarged 😱🏅

[@shirleyhunt6084]

So glad u did this. I am organizing my notes, getting ready to order some art stuff. I keep referring back to this vid.

[@rosemaryv9471]

I actually have a few of these books, and I like them. One or two of them I believe were from you suggestion. I would also recommend Harriet de Winton to the list. She's got a couple of great books out. Of course of have three of yours that you sell on Etsy. Thanks for sharing.

[@alina11LP]

Thank you very much for this, Emma! As a beginner, this is going to help me A LOT! Also, I am learning A LOT from you too, and you do amazing work

[@elaineporter182]

Thank you Emma. I have two of these books and will look for the others. I definitely will order yours. You are such a good/generous teacher

[@hanameta2315]

I have just purchased the Dana Fox Watercolour with me in the jungle book. But to know other books is really handy. Thanks

[@wendykelcey1246]

Great book ideas Emma! I have Jenna Rainey’s and the small flower book but want to head to indigo to see if I can get the jungle book and one of the others. ( forget the name but I’ll rewatch the video! Thanks for doing that! So helpful !👍

[@lisaannef]

I have a few of these books but The Joy of Watercolor is the one I love the most and that I have spent the most time with. Now I have to go shopping for some of the ones you've shown here that I don't have :)

[@deeanncross7674]

Thanks for your informative book recomendations. I love to check out art books I hear about online from my local library first, then make purchasing decisions from my personal viewing. The last two in particular piqued my interest.

[@tanjam.-k.2693]

Thank you for your recommendations 😃 I love your channel!

[@monica-NJ-123]

Thanks for sharing , very interesting content xoxo

[@aeli999]

Those are some very cool books. I actually have 4 of them already and I'll be adding the rest. My poor bookshelves are already groaning at the thought.

[@debmarie55]

Thank you for your recommendations. I already have purchased a couple of books you've recommended in the past, now I've found a couple more that I absolutely need!

[@mpgibson6342]

I highly recommend Birgit O'Connor's books and videos - she is amazing! She does very large scale flowers among other subjects.

[@michelepastele5347]

Thank you Emma Jane. I loved your description of each of the books. Very helpful!

[@joycekowbelharvey4816]

Hi Emma. Thank you so much for theses book ideas. I’ll be heading to the book store very soon to check these wonderful books out. My son gave me a book called water colour workshop and it’s a very good book to for beginners. She made the book book of water colour paper so that I can paint all the projects in the book.

[@MultiMartina12]

I am so grateful for this video. Some of your books I already own, some are now on my wishlist❤️👍

[@lora9664]

I bought Dana’s two books last year based on your recommendation. It was really fun and to learn shading and painting forms.

[@jakesarag1880]

Need more where you can color IN the book!

[@joycestarks1594]

Thanks for sharing these books. It will help out with what to use as guides.

[@TamaSarkarArt]

You are such a great artist!

[@cindyssss4099]

Thank you for such an informative video. Do you have any suggestions for beginner watercolor for kids?

[@EmmaLefebvre]

Hmmm I haven’t come across one yet

[@nicpilou]

I love Jenna Reyna style too

[@MariaFrancaSerrau]

Awesome!🧡🧡

[@wendykleeb2071]

I love Jenna Rainey's books! I've been following through her projects. Now I'm waiting for your book as well.

[@ChristinSlade]

Thank you so much for this!! I love Jenna Rainey, too! She was the first person I found on KZbin for watercolor tuts last year. I follow three of you regularly. So, you, Jenna, and Shayda Cambell. I've just started following Harriet de Winton (de Winton Paper Co.). After being a little more comfortable doing the loose watercolor style, I started following her learning more detail work. You guys are ALL amazing!! Right now I'm learning to trust my own instincts and eventually it will create my own style of work!. Thank you so much!!

[@karalynwatkins7563]

I also follow Jenna ,Emma and Shayda. Great combination.
