Wow! Some look like double tulips which I have tried to paint before. You step by step process makes them look so realistic!

[@mariah26.x97]

I think Mother Nature watches your videos. She paints her tulips the way you do it !

[@tonyaturner2762]

Those real tulips are just wow! I've never seen tulips like those before! They remind me of exotic tropical flowers! Love seeing your painting sketchbook too! Oh how I absolutely love your tulips painting! It's gorgeous!

[@colleenmcchesney1482]

Those are gorgeous looking tulips 💐!! Parrot Tulips, Regular Garden Tulips 🌷, Lily Tulips, Emperor Tulips & Double Tulips are some of my favorites to grow in my own gardens & yard here in Mississippi. So many varieties to keep one busy with painting for early spring. Love your wonderful video & your paintings. Thank you for sharing this! 🫶🏻

[@tonimitchell2892]

So beautiful, so vibrant. Loved this tutorial.

[@janegardner5435]

I also visited a beautiful tulip farm in Norfolk County SW Ontario and picked 20 blooms I'm happy you did this tutorial and I'm going to try to paint mine ❤ thanks for inspiring 😊

Tulips are my all time favorite spring bulb. These are just stunning!!! So helpful, I have yet to paint a tulip I like. Lots more practice!!

[@daphnebenjamins]

Love Tulips! Awesome info, beautiful tulips painting.

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Emma, Tulips have always been my go to painting subject when I am at a loss for inspiration, I just pull up one of the thousands of Tulip photo's I have taken in 30+years and just paint! The variety and range of colors found in this flower is truly astonishing! I believe you did a lovely job in capturing these flowers, thank you for giving everyone a view to these wonderful subjects!

It seems you’ve got your mojo back! Your latest videos are all wonderful.

[@Jendarhan64]

They are SO gorgeous; you really know how to make them come alive while preserving the beauty that is watercolor! I adore these! I'm going to visit your etsy shop to see if you sell your supplies. What paint brushes do you recommend as a good basic set? Thank you! 💖

[@EmmaLefebvre]

You can actually buy my brushes at www.craftamo.com ! There’s a link in the description

[@KatieMitchell-tx6py]

So inspiring! Thank you for sharing. Do you have a brand of brushes that you prefer?

[@lvg2005]

Can you add a picture/ image in the corner up- so we can view what you are painting? It will really help! GORGEOUS Tulips! Thanks!

[@irener1111]

I cannot do florals for anything. Even my daisy’s look like a child did them. Can you please do a video on exactly how to shape the various petals? Sounds basic, I know but I struggle so terribly. Thanks

[@sandineal1255]

Hi Emma ... great stuff. Have you ever done video on "White", zinc, titanium, Chinese gouche and ink? Can you consider? Sandi

[@SongBird21-nz8vx]

I absolutely love watching you paint so effortlessly with your magical brush. If only you could wave a magic wand so that I could paint as beautiful as you. I really didn't like the background music which sounds like the music they play in a funeral parlor.

[@miriamwettenstein4856]

I really like your style. It would be most helpful if you could tell us what technique you are using as you progress in your painting. I know you said wet on wet in the beginning. I think you are doing some wet on dry. I am a beginner and it’s very helpful to know the techniques as you move along in your painting.

[@ellycoppens3005]

They are called peony tulips.❤

[@teridavlantis8048]

Is the Etchr cold pressed sketchbook watercolor paper smoother than Arches? I’ve been painting on Arches but I think I might prefer something smoother 💐

[@tonyaturner2762]

Would you mind posting a picture of the tulips you were using as a reference on Instagram? Where I live we don't have tulips like those

[@melindaavila498]

Isn't nature wonderful?!!

[@CamilleWolf]

Peony tulips

[@TerenceBelford]

I have 4 tulips on my table as l.text. love DAD

[@jacquelinehardouin9771]

Hello

[@karengould6510]

Get rid of the annoying music. It’s awful. You don’t need it!..

[@kathyroberts9703]

Beautiful!
