I am really enjoying the ocean theme. I would love to see you doing some corals, sea cucumbers and starfish.

[karenburns]

I just did a small block of the ocean waves and a couple of these shells on the side. Great videos on this theme! Relaxing way to spend the evening painting in my watercolor journal. I’ll post it on IG!

[pattymcclung]

I LOVE how the dark shadow on the middle one came out! They’re all so pretty! Thank you again! ❤

[karenlewis]

I really loved this video...very inspiring...thank you so much for sharing! xoxo

[kristisparks]

Thank you for sharing your technique on the Sea shells. Enjoyed watching & learning from you. ❤

[kimlong]

So glad you did shells, I have them all over my house so when I paint these, they will fit right in. Thank You🎉

[marielouisedavidson]

Love the ocean theme and your teaching style. Thank you!

[jillpontiere]

Very cool. I loved watching the color changes and depth/values coming to life as you painted❤

[CeeceeWhip]

YEAH!!!! Love seashells. I need to check out more of your channel. Just been so busy this summer with packing up all my hobbies. Then had to start a new one...drawing!!! I am enjoying the process. Just wish your camera was an inch closer to the paper.... Thanks for explaining and teaching it well.❤🎉❤

[josettacastner]

I like your channel, love the art but I really like that you keep your pallet clean.

I am enjoying your sample paintings, so well done! I was looking at waves rolling over in a "tube" and breaking off shore why not give one of those a go? I am wondering how you would approach the deep green swell within the inner portion of the tube? Ihope you give this a go and show us how you would do this subject, Thanks again for a wonderful video to enjoy.

Hi Emma, thanks for this video. I love the underwater world, I am a scuba diver and I love the brightness in the coral reefs. Could you do a tutorial on different corals?
Thanks so much 😊

[kathleenscherm-caulfield]

I love your shells. Can't wait to try these! TY❤

[LynneRusso-bx]

How do people draw from memory like that?? They turned out wonderful Emma.

[rosemariecooke]

Love these Emma! I have a beach themed bathroom so I'm going to try these. Could you do a mermaid? 😊❤

[mjgr]

Hi, I just found you on YouTube and have been enjoying some of your past videos. I'm just teaching myself how to watercolor paint..actually becoming a little obsessed!! I would like to participate in more live/follow along type tutorials. What time do you go live tomorrow? I would love to follow along. Thanks!

[wendyetherington]

Love these! I tried similar shells at my neighborhood painting group yesterday, and they did NOT look as good. Should have checked in with you yesterday! 😂

[reneepfeiffer]

Can you list your shinhan colors in your palette or which set you use? I love the colors!

[reand.]

Emma, loving the simple ocean/beach theme. Thank you. May I make a suggestion that may be helpful for us newbies… on the screen, can you have the name of the colors typed up next to the color? I saw it recently and it took the guest work out of trying to figure out what color was used.

[cynthiaswanson]

I'm enjoying your video but why do you contaminate your paints? You don't rinse your brush before getting more paint.
