He gave the camera a direct smile ...too cute!

[@brendareed5050]

Aww your baby is precious, love his little face and smile!

[@shirleymartin8785]

Love seeing your little one. What a cutie pie. I’m still working thru the Advent Calendar videos but will be adding this to my ‘Emma J’ KZbin playlist to watch later today.

[@rosalierizzo4090]

awww, he's so cute. I'm glad you brought baby with you. I remember when you were expecting , then after that I only saw him once on with you. We need to see more of him with you on the videos.

[@mzkatbee463]

Awww, he's adorable!

[@mmmmlllljohn]

What a beautiful baby boy! He looks like a happy camper too. Thanks for the video. I’m just starting watercolour so will be checking out more of your videos. TFS! ❤️🇨🇦 (Mississauga)

[@shirleymartin8785]

I’ve just started in February ‘24 so I’m a real rookie but Emma is one of my favs (if not my absolute…go to artist)! She is so ‘chill’ which for a newbie like me takes away a lot of my doubts and hesitancies about delving into this medium.

[@spareemail205]

your little guy is sooo cute and he's got his mamas looks

[@treesapgrl]

So, I see how it is, *everything* you make is cute. 2D, 3D, doesn't matter. Thank you for another inspiring homerun!

[@dianelodico2166]

Thank you Emma! You always make things doable, and it is much appreciated. Your little guy is adorable. God bless.

[@pennywheeler2598]

Emma, in the new year I was wondering if you could do the flower from each state in the States. I know your from Canada if your country has the same thing you could include your country or just do Canada. Just a thought. That little guy is growing so fast and he is complete cuteness overload.💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@zinfollinigrazia1459]

Your little boy is so cute😘, and your peaceful drawings are so amazing. Bye bye from south Italy

[@ljscheible6007]

He is adorable!

[@annsmith4739]

Hi Emma I always enjoyed your channel,iv learnt a lot from you ,your baby is adorable sending lv Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️

[@eloisewalker352]

Beautiful and simple…. The kind of card people save from year to year💝

[@normamiller2316]

Thank you! These are so cheery, and your little boy is the star of the show❤

[@jessicalynne420]

Hello! Such a cute little guy you have there 💙 I am new to watercolors. I just got winsor and newton paints and a Princeton brush. I do have to say theres a huge difference when you use the right brushes and paper! This is a hobby i do not see fading away. It is so calming and I enjoy the art that comes with it. Thanks just in time for the holiday! I also find that i like the tubes rather than ready pours. They have a much different cosistency and seem to be more manageable and easier to blend different colours.

[@virginiashirlry]

I have lived in encore sunshine at 2307 since 2014. I have decided I need to be close to my son in California. I have sold my little cottage and will be leaving here on the 16th. I will miss the park and the great friends I’ve made here. Never in my life I thought i would ever leave my Texas, as I was born and reared in Houston, but, such is life.. you can take the gal out of Texas, but you’ll never take Texas out of the gal…lol. Bye to all of you and happy trails. 😎🌴❤️

[@belindawest3558]

Oh he’s preciousssss

[@lovettewoytovicz2954]

Awesome job! So enjoyable. I don’t have experience with watercolours, just oils and acrylics but you are giving me inspiration.

[@debyarger3084]

Every Christmas I make something by hand. Last year I did a little watercolor design on regular envelopes to hold gift cards. This year my daughter shared your channel so now it looks a little more like I know what I'm doing. Thank you for making it look so easy! Your little man is a cutie!!

[@roxannerosecrans4441]

Love your Christmas designs! Definitely going try these today, storming here all day! Baby looks just like you 🥰

[@karendirmish2696]

Christmas is Children, thanks for sharing yours in this wonderful Christmas Card class! Happy Holidays, Karen D

[@cherylbrewer1218]

Thank you Emma. Love these holiday cards. Lovely to see little Myles with his little warm looking rosy cheeks, adorable 😍

[@joycekowbelharvey4816]

Oh Emma he’s soooo sweet!!😊

[@phyllisbanfield1032]

So sweet!

[@dianestephenson4662]

Thank you Emma! I was stressing over what card design I should use that is easy for me and the pine cone design spoke to me and I can do them! Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family.

[@suemauer5965]

This view is helpful to me, to see how you pick up your paint, alternatively from your pan and from your wet palette, to get different intensity of color. Thank you!

[@kimdixon3773]

Love them. Your baby is adorable and growing fast!

[@eithnecourtney4854]

Thanks so much again Emma. You are so inspiring and your little man is adorable. Bye from Ireland ❤

[@Linda-qq5mg]

Myles is so very cute! Wow, how he has grown! I love your wonderful Christmas cards! Last weekend I was trying a poinsettia, but yours is way better!! Thanks so much for this video.

[@boloniaa]

¡¡Què precioso bebé!!

[@patlatour2465]

Very nice Emma and thankyou for sharing and your son is such a sweetheart, God bless.😊❤

You are amazing.

[@conniemesce4093]

Beautiful!

[@tanialinning9463]

Beautiful cards Emma!

[@suebailey245]

Great video, and what a cutie your little boy is! 😍

[@lizderby5433]

He is precious!!!

[@antoniahicks320]

The flower is actually the yellow in the center. Both the red and greean "petals" are all leaves. The green turns red or whatever color the nurseries develop.

[@lisawaller7620]

He is just too cute

[@cathrynclark5287]

Super nice video

[@joycesnodgrass7068]

🥰

[@junequiroga9478]

Emma when painting the poinsettias you are painting with a white brush. What size and make is it?

[@vedaanderson7009]

Cuteness Overload 🥰 Ur baby boy is Adorbs 💜 Gorgeous Poinsettia 😉😊😍🌟✨💫🌹🥀🌺

[@barbaramilbradt2188]

Sweeeet kiddo!!

[@kendrafullerton1122]

Instead of a heat gun tool could you use a hair dryer or would it make everything mix together?

[@jeanne-marie8196]

This was very inspiring. Thank you. Your little guy is such a cutie! Those cheeks!

[@joalmayer9562]

What is the metallic set you are using?

[@yes4yeshua]

Hi, where did you purchase your large palette?

[@ramonawickstrom8562]

Where did his red hair come from? It’s lovely… I know boys don’t always have “lovely” for an adjective, but it is a lovely color! 🌸

[@chrislee2587]

What brand are metallic paints?

[@watercolorsinbloom]

These are lovely. I'm having a hard time painting on these cards. I'm used to Arches 140 and Fabriano 300lb.. I have ruined a couple. These cards are thirsty! Plus the WOW does not flow as much.

[@tpwilh]

Emma, What metallic paint sets do you recommend?

[@SigningWithDana]

I was wondering what she used in the video too. It’s not in the list of supplies?

[@kimharbaugh]

What a cutie he is!

[@kellydanson2121]

Oh my gosh look how big he is. Holy cow ! slow it down Mom, come on, slow it down!!

[@annakovacs5866]

Very beautiful! Since these aren't Thanksgiving or Hanukkah cards but look like specifically Christmas cards, why not just call them Christmas cards? They only seem to be for that particular holiday.

[@jacquelinehardouin9771]

Hello beautiful
