Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement. I’m “very” new at this and your tutorials are such a help to me. 💖 thanks from Ohio 💖

[@brendapoore4873]

These are beautiful! Can't wait to paint them! I took your advice and upgraded to a better quality paper because I'm ready to go to the next level. Arches is the bomb! There is such a difference! Also, thank you for all your videos. I painted the lavender field this weekend. It was fun!

[@LUCKEY11202.]

Thank you, for sharing your beautiful cherry blossoms watercolor. I still don’t feel confident enough to try painting with watercolor, but I know I need to practice.

[@judybreedlove5348]

Thank you, Emma. This was fun. I love your quick, short tutorials. I use them for my "warm ups." I also painted the Lavender Field on a bigger piece of 300# Arches....it came out great. You make your tutorials simple enough for beginners to follow and quick enough for more advanced to use for play and warm ups.

[@Dedaskitchen]

Perfect timing, I’m headed to Washington DC and the cheery blossoms are at their peek! I’m so glad to have this video as reference so I can paint the after seeing them in person! These look very easy to paint w/ your instruction.

[@fllini99]

I love all your tutorials. I fell in love with the one on peonies. So effortless and delicate. I’ve painted that lesson MANY MANY times. And I’m actually getting better. And this one! Omg! Sublime! 😍😍😍😍

[@karenedgar9372]

That was beautiful! It makes me realize how much I really like watercolor. I do acrylics mostly! Thank you so much ❤️

[@dianas514]

Beautiful!!!!

[@FannaTurano]

Yay! Got 'em right, perfect, first attempt! Nice video Emma! I really needed this too. You telling us to use the shape of our brush to create petals worked perfectly.

[@colleenflanagan5200]

Hi Emma. I love your videos and it’s the first time I saw you live. I’ve always transferred my image to watercolour paper so it’s new for me to paint flowers with no sketch. I’m excited to do more of your videos especially using wet on wet to make paintings. I’ve been searching your videos to do more wet on wet like the lavender field which turned out nice. Thank you so much

[@englishinsomniac2754]

I have been watching utube artists for a year but only found you a couple of weeks ago. Where have you been? Love your art. I have bought a pad of arches paper and can't wait to try it out with your paintings tomorrow at art club. Thanks so much for showing us lesser mortals how to paint a decent floral picture. 😍

[@barbaragemin5117]

This is magic Emma!!!! A must do for me today, as I'm painting bookmarks. Thank you.

[@beezorob]

A gorgeous rendition of cherry blossoms. Makes me want to head to Washington, DC. I need to get to work and learn how to do this! I love your style and teaching techniques. Many thanks!

[@eveu7231]

Absolutely beautiful! I'm going to give it a try, but somehow I don't think it will be as effortless as you make it look. Thanks so much for all your videos...

[@TheLynxLv]

Can't wait to try this painting! Hopefully I can get it to blend as well as you did!

[@beverlywoodworth7694]

I am enjoying your videos very much! Thank you for making them. The cherry blossom lesson helped me make a lovely card to accompany a gift of a silk scarf.

[@Game-nb6un]

it's cool!

[@forevercreating]

I am impressed with your composition, each time you do your flowers. You seem to know exactly how to make it work so effortlessly. This was a lovely lesson, Thank you for all you do.

[@jocochranarsenault8441]

These are gorgeous!! My cherry blossoms are my favorite so far! We are coming to Canada in the summer and I would love to be able paint lupines for my Aunt and Uncle. Can you do a lupine class please!! Thanks! I love your videos! Thanks!

[@chozincreations]

I like that your videos are real time painting. I cannot do that yet. It took me hours to do 1 painting :')

[@SuperAnimalGurl]

I LOVE your video's , but it would be super helpful if you could say which colors you are mixing to get the color you arrive at, and even let us watch? I am really struggling with getting the right colors as well as not having them be too light or too wet.

[@ginagioia8821]

Love your style and videos, absolutely beautiful! Can you please explain, “dropping it in” how much water, how much color? I can’t seem to get it right!

[@anniefaint6373]

Gorgeous,,,xxxx 🌼🌺🌸

[@ican384]

It looks really easy but knowing myself I will make it so complicated 😂😂😂

[@sylviswatercolors]

Hi Emma :) Thank you so much for your tutorials, I am quite new here and I wonder which color you used to make the light pink and the dark pink with which you enhance the buds in the beginning. Your help is very much appreciated :D

[@vibhavarikamble4987]

AH-MAZ-ING!!!!!!!!!!

[@brigittefiegenbaum4493]

I liked

[@brigittefiegenbaum4493]

Your videos

[@lindaeastment4542]

Hi Emma 👋 only one thing I can say WOW WOW WOW WOW the card u made was absolutely beautiful thank you so much for taking the time to share 👍 please can you tell me what colour you use on the branches thank you Lin in South Wales uk x

[@EmmaLefebvre]

Linda Eastment thank you! I believe it was a mix of black and burnt umber

[@lisal3645]

This is beautiful. What size is the paper you are using? You don’t say in your videos the paper sizes. If gives me an idea of just how big everything is. And when you say you use your pink color and darker pink which colors do you mean you are using? Thank you

[@maremacd]

I realize that this was five years ago, and you’ve moved onto a different pallette, but I’m having a hard time choosing pinks and reds like these. I got the W&N recommended colors for a split primary palette, including permanent rose as the pinky red. I don’t know if I got a bad tube or what, but it’s very salmony. What color(s) would match these in Winsor and Newton professional?

[@nancythue5525]

Thank you for this. What is the name of the first pink you used in the light wash?

[@deborahtaylor7902]

stunning work! thanks so much..can u tell me what the pink color was in the lighter part of the flower? I think opera pink or red? not sure...gorgeous..u are a great teacher too

[@EmmaLefebvre]

Deborah Taylor thank you! It’s permanent rose

[@linasubasi4062]

Hello! I need some help or advice. When I add the darker pink on the ends of the buds or the middle of the flower, it doesn't run out like yours does, how come?
