Watercolour Orca Whale

[@kathrynledward2037]

Absolutely stunning Emma. Your tutorials are so informative and great to watch and try to create an attempt. Thank you x

[@amandachapman1119]

An artist is unique, never listen to anyone...go with what makes you happy and makes you grow your talent. Always be true to you! Love your videos!

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Cool whale tutorial Emma! Thank you!! 😃👍🏾

[@natford8271]

I’m glad you tried my suggestion of using watercolour pencils to draw the outline!

[@susanbraun698]

One thing that would help me with your videos is to share specific colors you used in the painting such as which blue. And on your flowers, which pink. It would help me to gradually build my color choices. If that was specified below in the materials, it would help. I thank you so much for sharing your talent and techniques. I will definitely try this one.

Another fun and easy (sort of) painting for our family to enjoy, as they always do with your video's, Emma. Thanks for bringing quiet time to our noisy household! As for erasers? Try "Vanish." Doesn't ruin the texture of your wc paper. BTW--maybe sometime you could do an ocean wave, one that's curling, lots of spray? You're the BEST teacher out there, Emma. Don't let anyone intimate that you're not. Anyway, happy week to you, and many thanks!

I remember trying to squeeze as much as possible into the time my babies were sleeping you brought the memory back.ha ha.

[@Sassyart_studio]

Lol its nice to see the other side of ur pallette😂usually see all the pinkies

[@faustogomes6170]

Great work Emma, I love 💕 to learn with your ideas, suggestions. I like the solution you use to tell us the material you use. Please keep your videos. Maybe some gardens and parks could give great paints .👍

[@zuekeeper]

Love your videos. You teach such clear methods, & even as a beginner, I can reproduce some very nice watercolor pictures following along with you. Love it. Thanks so much. 🥰 Zue

[@judyludlum2371]

Thank you Emma!

[@marykriglein9839]

I love your videos. A great learning experience.

[@joycesnodgrass7068]

Love it! Thanks.

[@dotydiva]

Yes I love it. Your drawings are great. I do use watercolor pencils to trace my images. Thanks for the video

[@paulinedavis2918]

Loved it well done👏

[@FannaTurano]

Question: how do you know what colors to use for lights and shadows? I know you're going to do a video on it in the near future, but how, where, & what colors do you know to use? And here's another plug for a curling ocean wave! Thanks, Emma! :)

[@sandrapudoff]

Hey, it's not pink!!! Yes, you are definitely teaching something when you're sketching. For me, sketching is the hardest part of this process so watching you helps. Thanks!

[@cindyp.9030]

This is one I definitely will be trying. I painted an Orca in acrylics for my daughter for her birthday and would love to do one in watercolor. Thank you for this video. Update: After watching this video I decided to give it a try. I would love to share my picture with you is there some way of doing that? Thank you for the inspiration.

[@anniefaint6373]

This was gorgeous,,,,xxxx 💕🌺🌸

[@undoubtedlywrong]

Oh wow. It feels like you really did read my comment on your Q&A video! Beautiful orca whale!! So next up perhaps a shark? ^^ Love your videos!

[@Sassyart_studio]

Stunning. Emaa did u ever think of starting a skillshare class

[@marlentrevino2684]

Hi! Love your videos, but how did you manage to not mess the blank space with the bleeding of the black paint?

[@joyflg1rl]

That was so much fun! Also, I'm new enough to watercolor that I didn't know that tracing was an option. I tried it using my Kindle as a lightbox and it was super easy. It feels like cheating, but my freehand drawing skills are pretty rusty and while I'm working on improving them, it was amazing to be able to quickly trace the shape of the whale and, with your incredible guidance, turn it into a painting that I really love. What a treat! Thank you!

[@EmmaLefebvre]

joyflg1rl I don’t recommend tracing if you’re painting something to sell or for commercial use. BUT if you are still practicing or learning and creating something for yourself, go right ahead! It also helps you learn the shapes and proportions. I also recommend tracing real photos rather than someone else’s artwork.

[@joyflg1rl]

@@EmmaLefebvre: I'm definitely not trying to sell anything at this point. I'm just loving the opportunity to play. :)

[@IMMA383]

Beautiful, thanks

[@lyndelaney6876]

Hi, what size paper do you use in your videos ? Thank you for your videos, I'm enjoying them ... especially as a beginner !

[@EmmaLefebvre]

Lyn delaney I actually just cut my 9”12 arches paper into quarters so I get the most out of one piece.

[@debbiebuttars5598]

This looked great. Unfortunately, I couldn't hear it ... well, barely. You are so talented and I love your videos. But I really love hearing your explanations.

[@natford8271]

Debbie Buttars can I suggest headphones and the volume control? I am hard of hearing and I know we are all different but I can hear her perfectly using my headphones.

[@melissamesser3740]

I couldn't hear it, either, I thought that maybe it was my crappy laptop. I had to set my phone up on Bluetooth, and sync it with the laptop, so I could hear and see. Thank you, Emma for the video! I'll keep trying until I can make it look good! By the way, when people post their art on social media, do you want them to tag you, or reference you, or are the notifications annoying?

[@maud2rolland348]

The drawing part is difficult to see on the screen …

[@tehiladouer7264]

Wow you are so very good ,thank you , I want to send you a business offer do you have an email or any how else please

[@PatriciaGodboutArt]

"killer whales, orcas what ever you call it" have some respect for these animals. Their proper name are Orcas not 'its" Other than that it was a great video
