giggle... hearing family in the back. Oh how I remember those days... You keep your calm so well!! Love your tutorials!!

[@sarahmyk9356]

I have had some watercolor pencils for years now, but never used them because I wasn't sure how to use them. Your tutorial helped me to understand how the pencils worked and I appreciate the tips. The gnomes are so cute and it was a pleasure to watch this video. Thanks.

[@terrythompson1564]

Emma, I have found that you don't have to worry so much about erasing your Grey line drawing. It pretty much dissapears as you paint your subject. Thank you for sharring your talent. I've followed you for two years and look forward to trying everything you share. I'm an 81 year grandmother and will paint your gnomes for my great granddaughters.

[@anitaholmes6824]

I really love using my WC pencils, just as much as my pallets! I see several have mentioned that there is no need to erase, the lines dissolve and disappear! Your gnomes turned out beautifully!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@amypanddirtytoo1926]

OMG you guys!!! I thought you smudged the drawing when you erased, but then you moved the picture and the smudges stayed put. I REALLLLLY need to clean my laptop screen LOL!

[@WhatsMarlyUpTo]

😄🤣

[@drbettyschueler3235]

Thank you Emma, for this tutorial. I learned a lot about drawing and painting gnomes.

[@libbyhicks7549]

A true artiist. We really enjoyed this video.

[@mereditha4363]

Yes! More watercolor pencil tutorials!

[@amybush9066]

I'm glad you found that you can like the watercolored pencils. I often sketch out in a gray so I don't have to erase. The color renders out and is not noticable when you use a brighter or darker color. Yes even disapears when using yellow. The gnomes are so adorable! I love it!

[@shanacirce2667]

These guys are so cute. Love that you used watercolor pencils to change it up.

[@lindahess8295]

Thank you for using watercolor pencils! Please do more tutorials with these. Thanks!!!!!

[@marymorgan2221]

Thank you. I've had watercol pencils for many yrs, but ignored them cos they were too difficult. I will now give them another go. Thanks

[@mollypenwhistle7918]

That’s your sons Xmas card sorted ..... he’ll love it 👏🏻 xx

[@bettygentry9672]

ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! And, yes, I learned a lot! THANKS!

[@rebekahbridges-tervydis5054]

You’re so sweet and such a good teacher. Thank you. Oh, and I love how your videos come out at night. It’s relaxing to watch you.

[@melanienewberry2805]

Just a heads up…I have some Loew-Cornell pencils and a set of Prismacolor pencils. I was watching your video the other day and drew out a sketch thinking I could erase my reference lines. I was using the Prismacolor pencils. They do NOT erase! So I tested my Loew-Cornell pencil. It erased fine. I have the same eraser you have as well. So some watercolor pencils do not erase. Test first.

[@BeverlyBaxley]

Very cute darling gnomes. I love watching how you just know what to do. .

[@amypanddirtytoo1926]

"Paint? Draw? I don't know what to call it" Draint? Or, I know! PAW!!! Thank you for giving me some push to go pull out my watercolor pencils!

[@margaretmitchell7168]

Thank youl Perfectly timed for me as i was recently gifted a watercolor pencil set of 36. Lucky me for both! Thanks again

[@lynncoppinger4042]

Love watching you Emma…you make it look so easy! I totally destress when I watch you!

[@JackieFoote]

These gnomes are the cutest things ever! I am going to try and do them. Hopefully they will be frame and display worthy!

[@paulabeaulieu52]

I love love love those gnomes!!! I just relaxed and enjoyed your teaching!! THANK YOU!!!

[@loriwalker-brandon9163]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have a set of WC pencils and did not know the proper technique, but the working light to dark makes sense and you've proven it very well with this project (I know with WC paints we layer light to dark/most prominent, but for some reason I was not putting that together when it came to the pencils). Thank you for all of your tutorials and I love your floral work too, but this was a fun change-up and I definitely learned a lot from it :)

[@kayleahy6990]

Adorable want to make them too!

[@donnabirney817]

love the gnomes!!!!!!! Maybe try it with grandkids ! Thanks

[@charlyburch7440]

Your gnomes make me smile. Simply adorable!

[@dorotheaherron5071]

They are the cutest little gnomes. I had a set of watercolour pencils given to me a while ago and they have been sitting there until you did the tutorials using the watercolour pencils. Thank you Emma now I know what to do.🥰

[@abbyevensen3566]

Those are literally the cutest

[@helengentile9327]

This is so adorable. Thanks for sharing this how to on watercolor pencils.

[@CarlaHanson68]

Oh I love this!! Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us, Emma, you are truly inspiring. ❤

[@chrischurchley7003]

You have found a use for watercolour pencils ✏️! I agree re florals - the lines are too harsh; this type of image responds really well though - thanks so much 👏😁

[@charlenebyington7405]

Oh my gosh....absolutely awesome gnomes. I just bought my first water color pencils a month ago, but never new how to use them like you just showed me. Now l can't wait to start all over again. Thanks so much for everything you teach us.. love, love, love you. 🌿🍂🌿🍁🌿

[@beteg2184]

I loved!!!! You are so gifted!!!!

[@CorynnODea]

Adorable and I love the kiddos in the background because it sounds like echos of my home while I'm trying to paint 😅 twin toddler boys here 💙💙

[@sandegeorge542]

Not usually a gnome fan. But these are so cute, I’ll use your tutorial to make gift tags. Thanks.

[@WhatsMarlyUpTo]

Yes! You could extend his arm outward with mittened hand holding a square or rectangular sign with To: and From: on it! Use the darker gray as outline with little to no shading.

[@specialhandscreations2688]

Ahhh how adorable are these lil guys! You did such a great job on them! Have a lovely holiday season!

[@lorettafritz6992]

Really super cute. So fun! Thanks!

[@louisegrinham2315]

Oh my goodness, too cute, awesome job Emma xxx

[@teridavlantis8048]

I painted one of the gnomes in this 2021 when it came out. Loved it. This seems like it would be a good one to post on your Friday reposts this holiday season. I know it’s about watercolor pencils but obviously one doesn’t have to use pencils. Just a thought. I did just see the Advent gnome tutorial, simpler version. But these came out so cute

[@mycraftway1576]

Aww sooo beautiful painting🎨

[@nancywatson9084]

Is there anything you cannot do?? These are adorable!!

[@createwithlulu]

Ohhhhhh I love gnomes! I totally gonna try these!

[@tanjam.-k.2693]

Your gnomes made me smile, they are soooooooo cute! I love the Albrecht Dürer-watercolor pencils. I have a bunch of them.

[@sharonlemonds4034]

You could've had the third gnome holding a Christmas ornament. I'm going to try this with my grandsons. Very cute!

[@donnastrohmeier8739]

Love the gnomes. Came out great, as usual. I have colored pencils, haven't used them yet. Will definitely give this a try. 1 tiny request could u do a girl gnome. I have a grandson & a granddaughter. Would love to send them a card with gnomes dressed in their favorite colors.🙏💖

[@lorettafritz6992]

Girl gnome: long grey hair tyed on the sides instead of a beard. Everything else can be the same. 👍

[@rutgermanders3903]

Thank you so much, i have been looking for a inspiration to use my watercolour pencils i got for my birthday and now i can use tyem for the cute gnomes ( tomtes )

[@ruthmiddleton258]

So cute I am going to make them tonite! You are so talented. I received my brushes and my hubby snagged them and says it's a Christmas present from him. I can hardly wait till Christmas morning!

[@gila1959]

Love the gnomes ..soooo cute..see you work shows me i will never know how to work with water color pencils etc .. you are so precise , knows exactly where to draw a line , color …so great Emma..

[@SabrinasTwistofColor]

It is so hard to see, like you said. I bet if your background wasn’t white as well, it’d make it a lot easier for us to see Bc the lights are so bright too. Just too much light going on. I do absolutely love these gnomes though!! 🥰💕🥰

[@jessicamaisonet917]

Cute & adorable gnome’s❤

[@elsbethnietschmann947]

[@nelsonshakespeare2881]

Wonder if you might sketch out the objects to paint on a plain piece off paper before you do the video next time so we can see the outline you lightly draw on the wc paper. I personally take the basic idea and spin it my own way. Love this video. TFS. Watercolor holiday love to all ❤

[@pamsmith332]

Just adorable. Love the "little guy soundtrack" too. I'm waiting for grandkids. Any chance we might get a Christmas angel? You are so gifted. Thank you.

[@veronicahodges4540]

So adorable, thanks for the inspiration for a fun morning activity! Doing mine now. Different but inspired! Thank you x
