Emily's watercolor tutorials that include her real-time drawing of the subject (especially of animals), along with her so carefully detailed video and voiceover as her watercolor unfolds is so very very informative. I am so appreciative of Emily's light-hearted yet fully serious sharing of her watercolor savvy. Thank you.

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

You’re so kind! Thank you!

[@laurabravorincon]

I have no words to express how grateful i am for your tutorials. The truth is that i have no child or niece and so... only little pets! So i'm achieving to paint my whole fluffly family thanks to you. I wish you all the best. Greetings!

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

Aw your comment made my day! I am so glad the videos have been helpful!

[@peggymccann4524]

As a novice painter, I so appreciate that, unlike in most of the tutorials I’ve found online, yours takes time to show and tell everything - invaluable for me. So many steps are clarified.The advice you offered many times to finish the painting, to not be discouraged when the painting looks at points like it can never be “fixed” - that applying layers, not rushing, and trusting colors can be changed as the process goes on. I’m excited to subscribe to your channel.

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

What a kind comment! Thank you so much, Peggy!

[@cmag9338]

Patience really is a thing I need to work on, but to see how it turns out, it really motivates me to try to be more patient with my painting. Thank you for another beautiful tutorial.

@@EmilyOlsonArt THANK YOU!!!!

[@karenayoung5]

Hi Emily. I’m one of your members. The thing I fine so frustrating about your website is I see no way to ask you questions. Ugg plus I get in the middle of some of your daily challenges and don’t get them finished and you don’t keep them any place.

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

Hi Karen! I'm sorry you're feeling frustrated! We do have a "discussions" option with each video, and although I am unable to do one-on-one coaching, I do try to answer course related questions there. The Facebook group is also a great place to ask questions! The Daily Challenges are available for the previous month and current month--this ensures fun fresh content shows up on the Dashboard every weekday. AND they are on a yearly rotation so they'll be back the next year!
