[@tonimcclure6546]

It was so pleasurable to watch the snow and trees come alive. Thank you for posting such a detailed you tube!

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

My pleasure!

[@rudylorenzo9722]

Thank you, Emily! This is such a great example of that anything can be painted. I believe we overthink about our reference photo or topic, when something as simple as this scene with the half tree is just perfect. About the shadow and snow effects: just amazing!!!

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

There truly is beauty in everything!

[@ellenschmidt3005]

Enjoyed watching you paint those shadows. I love snow scenes and will be using your technique in an attempt to paint a scene. Thanks!

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

Awesome! Thanks for your comment!

Thank you for a great tutorial. I’m trying this right now!

Have fun!

[@starlaferguson1893]

What brush are you using for the snow shadows? It has an amazing point and I Struggle with keeping a really sharp point

[@DMountains]

That is one of my small diameter Silver Fox brushes. Fine points are one of my areas of specialty and the Silver Fox is about the best for performance and responsiveness.

[@lillywhite4172]

Waw, I really love this painting and would like to try this. Thank you for this tutorial! 🙂👏👍Could you pls tell me where can i find this reference foto? It is a bit small in the video. Stay safe and healthy.

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

Hi and thanks for your comment! I added a link to the description where you can download my reference photo. :)

@@EmilyOlsonArt Thanks a lot, i am very impressed, i am happy to subscribe to your channel🙂

[@allenvoss7977]

Can you do multiple layers of paint when doing watercolor ? how many layers can you do?

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

You can layer as much as you want--but you must let the paint dry in between layers. Layering works best with completely transparent paint.

[@thetwelve5922]

Can you name the flat brush you used along with the size!?

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

Oh yes, sorry I forgot to include that! It's a Princeton Brush Elite, 1/2 inch (1.3 cm)

[@thetwelve5922]

@@EmilyOlsonArt thanks

[@allenvoss7977]

Can I work out of my paper block or do I have to remove each piece of paper before painting??

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

The point of the block is to work directly on it--the sides are glued down to prevent warping while you paint. Once you are finished, you can use a credit card or palette knife to remove the finished sheet.

STOP BUYING FUR PAINT BRUSHES! pls Google how to save animals that are used to make paint brushes, then click on the article that says "YOUR PAINT BRUSH COULD CONTAIN CRUELLY - OBTAINED ANIMAL FUR "read through the whole article and click on "I PLEDGE TO BE FUR FREE ",another article will then be shown. There are many alternatives to fur brushes that actually work BETTER!. THE FASTER WE STOP USING FUR BRUSHES, THE FASTER IT WILL BE A THING OF THE PAST! YOU WILL BE SAVING MILLIONS OF LIVES!

All of my natural hair brush bristles are made from repurposed or renewable sources.
