[@rebeccabrown3898]

These tiny watercolor landscapes will be great training for card making.

[@cindyp.9030]

I have been doing something similar. I took an 11"x15" watercolor paper and divided it into 12 squares. I have been doing little paintings inside each square, so far I have filled in 7 of them. Like you were saying, it is less intimidating to do little paintings instead of bigger ones sometimes. Thank you for sharing.

[@beryledwards4407]

This is absolutely fantastic, I've been looking at a lot of watercolour videos but I've been a bit scared of trying it out, but these small squres makes me feel I could actually give this a go, thank you for sharing with us 👍😊

[@martiseelye6443]

I like painty little too. These are so cute. I think the autumn one looked like there was maybe a pond in front of the trees. Thanks, Emma!

[@diangansen8482]

That first landscape needs a big pole in the middle of it. That's what my pictures from the car look like!

[@marciamcgrath4953]

I've been a little intimidated to do a landscape, but doing small ones will be a good start for me. Thank you for this tutorial!

[@inkonapin]

We saw fields of yellow flowers traveling through PEI, they were canola fields, really beautiful.

[@monicamacauley3750]

You never cease to come up with innovative and motivating projects. I love to tune in to see what you’ll come up with next.

[@stacyg8847]

Thank you for sharing Emma. A great reminder to me...use small paintings and small sketches for practice. Peace.

[@tanyaratti]

Absolutely love loved this. Opportunity to experiment with colours, composition, techniques before doing the bigger painting. My students will love this idea.

[@maryrakas8012]

I love the tiny paintings. I will give this a go. I love the sunset one best. Beautiful!

[@sabinelloyd8532]

Loved this. Funny enough the autumn trees were my favourite

[@EnjoyPositiveLiving]

I liked the fall one. I think if there was a bit more blue below the trees it would look like a pond. Very nice all of them! It has inspired me to do more mini paintings.

[@sherrysvesnik7711]

It was fun to watch you create & even how you can remove what you aren't happy with. These were fun simple inspiration, I will be giving them a try.

[@rhondaharris775]

I like the fall one!

[@melissamoore1464]

This is inspiring! I absolutely love the sunse painting. I have always wanted to paint a sunset, and this makes me think I might be able to. Thanks very much, Emma.

[@cmonaco577]

How clever! I love it. Thank you. I agree with Marcia Mcg. Painting small landscapes (or any composition) is a good start and less intimidating. Thanks again 🙂

[@GrandmaMuggy]

Great idea for keeping the brush miles flowing!

[@pennywheeler2598]

I love, love, love, painting small. It is actually a great teaching tool for me🎨

[@dorotheaherron5071]

How sweet are they! I love tiny also. Good choice 👌 Emma!

[@lydiemonin977]

Thank you so much Emma. Lovely landscape and perfect explications. 😍

[@influentialolive]

I ❤️ how you taped this, and, each painting. It made me think. Why not, do a page, and create a border where the lifted tape is, and frame it. It would be a very pretty/interesting framed piece. A Beautiful way to share multiple paintings in one piece. That's a neat idea, imo.

[@joanoconnor18]

Great explanation using a number of landscapes. Thank you.

[@sheridawn]

The one you don't love is my favorite!

[@delphinewood7519]

My favorite thing to paint! 🙏💙🌵🌵🌵

[@Angie-pl3uw]

I’m very bad at landscapes so this was great for me to watch. I’m going to attempt these four minis and consider them a plan for working a bit larger…and larger! Thank you so much for awoncervul tutorial.

[@kayhopkins2960]

Could you do mini flowers for note cards or book marks. Please

[@janicelacy3290]

This was the ABSOLUTE BEST tutorial I’ve watched! I ❤how you talk through the process and your honest likes and don’t likes! More please!

[@elenawalls5234]

I love you. I love that you made a mistake, and corrected it. I can do this

[@juliepekarske8302]

Fantastic idea! Thanks for Sharing and demonstrating.

[@havingfunplayingwithpaper9903]

Wow, I think they All turned out really nice!! It was soo relaxing watching you "paint". Thank you so much for this tutorial. I will have to give it a try. 😀 Have a Blessed Day

[@amandastratton8242]

These minis looked great Emma. What a clever idea and thank you for sharing with us xx

[@histotur.divulgacionhistor9059]

Beautiful. You are the best. Thanks❤

[@rosetaylor888]

I really enjoyed painting these. I have something to practice that is fun to do. Thank you

[@suzannedickie4603]

I really enjoyed that. It’s wonderful seeing it all come together with just a few strokes in a talented hand. 😊

[@louisegrinham2315]

Really cute Emma, a super idea. I love doing mini art myself too. Thanks for sharing this. These mini's make ideal cards too, especially Xmas designs . Xx

[@janejackson567]

This is lovely, and love the tips when things go a little wrong. Thank you

[@influentialolive]

Super Fun! And, Very Satisfying... thank you.

[@amandacook4061]

I love this. My aunt, who was my original inspiration to start painting, has a cottage on a lake in Ontario. I have always wanted to do a 4 seasons painting for her of their view of the lake. Making them small like this makes it feel way less intimidating. Thanks Emma!

[@kerrijohnson9510]

Love this. I’ve been wanting to try watercolor and these little squares is a great way to start

[@mzkatbee463]

Oh my gosh, I've been hooked on minis lately. I love this!

[@barbriley583]

💕I started watercolor 15 yrs ago when I retired…I must love instant gratification because I mostly do 3x3;94 4x3=94 2x2” paintings…I keep a supply of tiny wooden easels and sell and give these away…I have found that with patience I can use most watercolor techniques easily…cue tiny brushes…FABULOUS TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE PAINT BIGLY SMALL. LOL❣️

[@Gayatri_Deshpande]

Absolutely loved this tutorial. 👏🏻👏🏻😍

[@debbieasselstine2469]

Loved watching these. Thank-you.

[@jenniferharman5139]

Love these miniatures!💕🇦🇺

[@jimflack9462]

Thank you for this. I often feel intimidated by a larger surface staring back at me. So this might be the way to go for me. I do a lot of ATCs for friends. This would be a fun exercise. I loved the middle bottom one. Reminded me of the Tuscany area of Italy!!

[@ginabadeaux9319]

oh boy this looks like fun ill have to make a tiny watercolorbook for this ,thank you emma

[@roxannerosecrans4441]

Emma I love mini's!!! I watch two other artist that do them ! You did a really great job too! 💕🥰

[@kmlo19]

Love that. Interesting that you didn't like the reflection one, which was my favourite!

[@kimberlymay6645]

It’s a great exercise and my favourite is the water one. I wasn’t so sure about it until I closed my eyes and looked at it again after it was dry. I really love how the water turned out and how tiny it is. If you’d done it bigger it wouldn’t have worked as well. Love your videos!

[@sweethomes674]

Beautiful 🎨

[@christine2946]

Love ❤️ the drumlins

[@melw7450]

so cute, love all of them

[@kraftygirl46]

I love them!!!! Definitely gonna try

[@ruthkoster2741]

I think you did a great job on the small paintings! You are a wonderful artist. 😊

[@marykaykrozek5088]

Emma I loved this. I am new to watercoloring like this I have been using stamps to make watercolor cards but I am now trying to do landscapes. I recently found you on U tube I learn so much from you!

[@shirleygreaves9650]

Love all of these.

[@amandahodgin9316]

These are adorable!

[@noelroquevinluan7499]

This is fantastic! Mini portraits I can practice on with a small brush. Just what I need! Thank you for sharing👍

[@lovinourfiveboys3952]

I am doing this today but using the watercolor crayons you’ve been raving about lately!! 🎉

[@hannahcrumley3103]

These are so lovely & fun!

[@roxannebergeron2557]

I really enjoyed this lesson. I’m going to try all of them in my journal. Wish you would have done ocean and beach.

[@jeanhelliwell8160]

Wonderful demo. Thankyou

[@umabord]

Thank you for this! What a fun tutorial! 😍

[@goat8477]

Sooooo cute!! And even for an absolute beginner not too intimidating :-) Thank you, Emma.

[@Joy.Elizabeth]

i don't know how I missed this one but so glad I saw the short today! 😊 I love this idea!! esp bc I'm still learning watercolor techniques n sometimes it can be overwhelming doing a big painting. plus w my health I usually don't have huge chunks of time to work on it just little snippets so this idea is perfect for both things. thank u so much for all your helpful videos. ☺

[@joannarutkowska9990]

As always, wonderful 🍀🌄

[@tammyadams7965]

Emma, I love these little paintings! I am a newbie and t this is what I need to do, something small so I don't feel like if I mess up it is a smaller mess up...🙃 I ordered some Arches watercolor paper and can hardly wait to try it out. Thank you so very much for all your kindness and sharing. ❣

[@venitabucceri8435]

Hi, Emma. Have just found your channel and have thoroughly enjoyed this video. I am new to watercolors and am looking forward to trying out these miniature landscapes. Tfs❣️

[@charlenebyington7405]

Absolutely loved them. Thanks for sharing. 🌿🍁🍂

[@margaretconner5939]

You are an excellent painter with a lot to give a student.

[@racheldonner324]

I love painting small!

[@francoisederocher]

Inspired by SVVA jewels perhaps?

[@Missfacts111]

Thank you this was really helpful 😊

[@kathleenmetcalf6767]

Lovely! Would you share how did you get this idea? Love mini's, been creating mini's like this.

[@user-mn8iq4re6m]

Amazing.

[@dinstik]

thank you ☺️

[@casawabicat9475]

awesome 🥰

[@Beautifulmadre]

New sub here came across your channel and had to stop and tune in i truly enjoyed the video

[@sberhorst]

My daughter just asked if I could do a miniature watercolor painting for her 1:12 scale house she just built so these give me ideas/inspiration for what to paint

[@mindy7501]

The link is in the description where the three dots are in the upper right-hand corner.

[@mayloo2137]

I make artist trading cards. I've got a group session in just over a week. I want to do landscapes. The only problem is time. I have two hours. I prefer to draw landscapes then paint them in class.

[@donnastokes496]

Would be nice to see rocks on mountains and hills not always the trees. Also the fall one looks more like water reflected its cool! And also what not one big tree in the front on some?

[@cecilefelicite9887]

J'aime beaucoup.

[@meganrasila2236]

Why are we doing this? Why not! Tiny is fun 😁

[@tessabristow1383]

Yellow fields are canola.

[@bobbiemenendez4807]

Just found you. Like all your suggestions for what to paint when you don’t know what to paint. I have a questions for you. What size is this tape? 1/4”? Would appreciate if you can tell me where you purchased it. The squares look very delicate with the narrow tape. Thanks so much.

[@Kb1901kb_kris]

You cut your hair. It looks cute. ❤️

[@missmary99]

Nicely done, Emma! Is this the tape you are using? I found this online and thought it might be it: 3M Scotch FA2038 1/8-Inch Artist Curves Tape, 1/8" x 10 Yard Roll, Original Version. Can you confirm? Thx!

[@EmmaLefebvre]

amzn.to/3AJykIb it’s this one I think

Will the bleed proof white ruin your watercolor brush?

[@missmary99]

I only use my cheapest brushes with the bleed proof white. That being said, I have not had any problem with washing it out from my brush completely, and using the same brush with other colors.

[@ralphherrick596]

@@missmary99 thanks for the info

Will the washi tape rip the paper?

[@barefacedquestions]

There're some tricks to minimize the chance of washi tape ripping the paper. Check out Dragonfly Spirit Studio's video on how to do that.
