I appreciate you using your Cotman paints and showing us how to work with paints that are not professional quality. This beginner needs that!

[@barryedgington6812]

Hi Emma, the rolling hills in the variety of greens came out beautifully! I really enjoyed this tutorial! ❤ Thank you for sharing. Helene

[@carolganzon2833]

I hope I didn’t hit the thumbs down by accident. This is such a great video. Thanks, Emma, for making this so clear. Now I’m off to play!!

[@denisec3131]

Thanks for these helpful insights! I'm a beginner. My 2024 goal was to try watercoloring birthday cards for my friends, trying different techniques. I need the practice in the journal for sure!!

[@glennakendall6155]

Thanks for the lesson on depth-of-field. Very pretty!

[@bevclarke8586]

Thank you, as a non artistic beginner (I'm a copier) I appreciate how you cover colours and mixing, composition, shading and all your "tricks" so I can try things on my own.

[@sseabee6877]

your lessons are great! Thanks, Emma!

[@karendirmish2696]

You are teaching wonderful ways with watercolor! This video so rolling hills was the best, learned so much by watching and listening! I’m going to do this several times with different colors, a real experience in color and feelings! Thank you always for teaching just what I needed to learn! Karen Dirmish, learner.

[@vikkibyington3066]

Love learning from you. You are such a pleasant lady and that goes a long way with me. ❤

[@ChantelleArts]

This is such a wonderful idea, it looks fantastic ☺

[@darcypalmer7783]

I only have only Cotman paints since I am a beginner. This was a fun exercise to do in my art journal. I learned a lot from your tutorial. Thank you!!

[@katemccarthy2463]

Fabulous as always. The bunny is too cute ❤

[@pennywheeler2598]

Yes! I did learn something. Thanks, Emma! 💚🖌

[@christianebehr138]

Dear Emma, Very beatiful the picture that you have just painted was very intressting I realy enjoyed listening to how you mix colours to let it look very natural. So all in all it was a perfekt lesson. You must have a very good sketch book. Thank you ever so much many greetings from Christiane Berlin Germany 😊😊❤

[@marlenedelvecchio8074]

Thank you Emma! I always learn something from your videos!❤

[@Ms1lonewolf]

Nice! Yeah the cottman is less pigmented than the professional paints 🎨. Now you see the difference between the two. Thank you and have a great day! JK FLORIDA USA 🇺🇸.

[@annalara2]

This is super fun! Thanks for sharing!

[@lindakuck5981]

Thanks Emma 😊❤

[@fernandadelima1513]

This came out so beautifully 😻 I have a question regarding process of letting the left page dry before working on the page to the right. If I were to do a painting like this in a sketchbook, but wanted to make it all greens like on the left page, will it be easy to achieve the same colors when working on the right page? Guess I’m wondering if I attempt a painting like this will the two pages look uniform colorwise? Or maybe I’m overthinking this 🤣

[@EmmaLefebvre]

Yes, if you were doing the whole spread, I would do it at the same time

[@NatureAndOther]

Very beautiful ❤👍

[@ladyhollman9534]

Thank you. 👍

[@michaelschiba4283]

I've been watching your videos since I got into watercolors and I have question...when one is using multiple colors how do you clean the brush between colors,thanks

[@maureenstott2107]

Thank you so much for this lesson in blending. It is less intimidating than other landscapes. This may be obvious to some, but I‘ll ask anyway - is your binder clip a large or media size? It is difficult for me to judge and because I only need a couple of them, I want to get the best bang for my buck! 😊

[@EmmaLefebvre]

It’s a large one :)

[@Maureen-g4d]

Thank you! I love your tutorials ❤

[@mariageomycbse842]

So nice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@sandyseifried9958]

Do you do birds?

[@barbifreedle8210]

What kind of paint do you usually use? Do you use Winsor Newton Professional paints?

[@EmmaLefebvre]

Yes I use professional paints usually

[@michelwilliams-i9q]

🤩😍👌👋👋🙏

[@katemccarthy2463]

BTW I got grief from another FB artist for uploading a painting of a Pinterest photo. They made me remove it. Claiming that I can't do that. Any thoughts, comments on this. I'm only saying this as you used a Pinterest in this video. Thanks for your amazing videos ❤

[@buschika]

That is a Photo of Hills. That should BE okay i think

[@donnastokes496]

I think it depends how exact to the photo it is! Copyright is a hard area

[@marypanich9880]

Yes, she didn’t copy it exactly but used it as a reference for inspiration. Surely, that is the whole point of Pinterest.

[@donnastokes496]

@@marypanich9880 you would think so but some are very unsecured. If that's the case don't put them out in public 🤷
