My Aunt, who was an artist/crafter gave me some advice from her instructor; he said your best work is what you throw in the garbage because it's what you have learned from.

[gopipavi]

You should do a tea set or a vase with this colour... you'll find yourself admiring it for days..

[jerrygill]

I have been watching you since your first baby used to sit on your lap so I’ve seen you come a long way. Your teaching methods are excellent and you seem so much more happy and self confident. Keep up the good work. You’re beautiful…..
Not to mention your work.

I struggle a lot with controlling my brush and making leafs. And just painting florals in general...

[sheila]

Emma, I discovered you at the beginning of my watercolor journey in 2020. This past year I’ve had some health issues so I’ve not been on here. It was so exciting to see your growth, not only in painting, but in confidence. I thoroughly appreciate how you teach and I enjoy watching and listening to your insight. Thank you for what you do.

Love the flowers but that pattern is awesome it looks so organic. Your teaching methods just make me happy.

That feeling you get when it comes to water/paint in your brush is artistic intuition and you have developed or were born with good artistic intuition. You make painting look so easy! Emma, I have a problem “dabbing” or wiping my brush off onto a paper towel for fear of “ wasting “ my expensive, precious paint. I know that this fear I have is a culprit for unneeded mistakes and I feel it’s holding me back. Any sage advice from you or your viewers on how to get over this “ fear of product waste” that I have?

Amazing how beautiful a monochrome painting can be. The simplicity of it, combined with that beautiful color and the depth from so many values is calming, yet gorgeous at the same time. Love it! Going to watch again and try it. Thanks for all your great totorials.

[fionacoetzee]

You are an amazing teacher who explains things so well. I have been about to give up....after going down the youtube rabbit hole and watching so many how-to videos. Thank you.

[susanhammitt]

I love the blue. Like Delft china. Thank you Emma Jane. Great tip on looking at saturation for variation. Thanks.

[nancyloomis]

Doing a monochrome study is a really great idea and helps to identify value in colors. Having the right color values all throughout the piece can make all the difference in a whether your art is good or great. 👍

[majcik]

Such a great monochromatic painting. And the color is amazing…. Used by Michelangelo to paint his angels and Johannes Vermeer to paint a scarf on The Girl with a Pearl Earring, not to mention many other artists throughout the art history.

[jean.marion]

Would love to learn how to do that pattern as well. So interesting 🎉

[debbiemr]

Oh I agree, very beautiful colour and I love how your painting came together with the different tonal values. I’m going to give this a go. Thank you.

[louisebourne]

Beautiful blue flowers. Thankyou for sharing about value this has been really helpful, and using your phone to see if you have enough value in your painting is really good. Love this video xxx

[jennifernelson]

[utterlynice]
