I didn’t click cause of the do or don’t’s. I wanted to see another tree 🌲 video as I love trees ❤️

[@JustMine4now]

You're a great artist but an even better teacher, I haven't had the courage to try water color yet but each time I watch you gets me closer to jumping in!

[@petragunther4439]

Just go for it! It's just water, paint and paper but eeeendless fun 🙏

[@pamfendlason3817]

What size brush?

[@natnhat007]

Ya gotta try & paint!

[@sandrapudoff]

​@@pamfendlason3817she said a 6 round

[@timothyrector6112]

I agree, you are a great teacher. I have recently retired after 39 years in a skilled trade. I have not painted anything since 1973. I am watching your KZbin posts to help inspire to start painting again. I really love your presentation and how you make it feel like we are sitting in your studio as you show us how to paint. Thank you.

[@ThePhaeriephox]

Emma, I love your videos. I am an illustrator who works very realistically in watercolor, and you have really helped me to "loosen up"! You have such a sweet, positive calm manner in teaching. BTW- you've gotten me hooked on Craftamo brushes because I stopped using fur brushes a long time ago, and it's difficult to get high quality synthetic brushes. I LOVE them! Thank you!

[@danal3178]

Thanks!. Your teaching skills are excellent and help me greatly!

[@EmmaLefebvre]

Thank you so much Dana! ❤️❤️❤️

[@meanbean98]

I don't know what I would do without you I get really nices trees when I practice but then after a few months of not painting I lose it. So I know I can always come back to your tips they are amazing and puts me at ease.thank you Emma you are truly the best,!❤ hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving 😊

[@TAURUSBULL-fl8xd]

Wow amazing

[@susanbricker7410]

Thank you so much for this wonderful video. It's so helpful. I really struggle with trees. When you did the landscape trees you said you were tapping? What would the actual brush stroke be then? Thank you so much for all your helpful painting videos.
