I'm so happy you talk about cotton paper. I was ready to give up on watercolors, until I watched your video on" Its not you, its your paper, " It changed everything!!! I buy Arches on sale then I'll take it to Office Depot and they will cut it down, spiral-bound and put a cover for around $5.50. I made your Christmas cards and for my Aunt&Uncle their card was an illustration of them that I learned from you. They loved it and framed it. Thanks so much.😊

I get the 7 x 10 block Arches when it's on sale. I draw a line down the middle so there are two 5 x 7 pictures. It's great to bring outside to paint. I do one whole painting but put a focal point in each 5 x 7 section and then it's a set of two. A few years ago, quite a few of my friends requested that I do a set for them to give as gifts. They paid me around $50.00 per set.

I just got into watercolor painting and have found your tutorials to be the best! Thank you, Emma.

Passing along a tip for brush drying - glue a clothespin horizontally to a surface such as the side of a storage unit. Now you can clip the handle of the damp brush to hold it with bristles facing down. Easy!

So useful to have all of this information consolidated in one place. And loved the glimpses into your sketchbooks!

Thanks for another very informative video, Emma. I have learned how to paint in watercolor from watching your videos and can see an improvement in only a couple of months. So thank you for all your help and encouragement.

Thanks Emma, love that it's so simple and you've given options for supplies. I'm in Australia, so Eckersley's is the local good supplier but also Amazon supplies pretty much everything you've mentioned as well. Keep up the great work.
Sending love and hugs your way xx

Awesome The thing I love about videos are
1. they way you present them
2. They are all real-time videos.
Keep making good content videos like these. As I told you before, you are one of my guru in watercoloring. Wish you all the success in the world Emma.❤️❤️

Thanks Emma. You real inspire me in a way, you stick to minimal supplies same brushes, same paints unlike most of youtubers how do you stop yourself buying diff brands...want your suggestion..

[maevacook]

that’s the first time I have seen your illustrations, wow! I love them.

[krismua]

Thanks, very helpful! I've been using Canson (because I'm still a beginner) but after watching a bunch of comparison videos of paper, tried Arches just to see how different it is and now I don't think I can go back. 😥 The paint behaves so much better on good paper.

[cassiesmith]

Thanks to you I bought the Snap brushes and they came today! I'm so excited!

[arabesquejacob]

The Princeton Snap brushes are the first brushes I bought as a beginner...I’m glad I made a good choice! Thank you so much Emma! Love ❤️ your channel!

[emmacabrero]

[deborahpotestio]

Thank you Emma. You are so inspiring and easy to follow!

[marieobrien]

Thanks for sharing this valuable info. After watching your videos I purchased the Cotman colors and the Snap brushes. I love them! Your videos are so informative and them coming 🤗. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

I'm also addicted to Princeton Snap brushes because of you, Emma! I have their Lauren line, too much "bend." Snap have the BEST control of any brush out there. I also bought a bundle of Etchr books thanks to your review!  

1) Can you demonstrate how to actually USE a visual journal, because mine's full of good stuff & crap!  Lol
2) What's the largest size paper you've painted on? Perhaps a tutorial on that? 
3) Can you show us how to paint all of those lovely people in your Etchr book?  
4) Do you mix/blend color in your palette, then apply; or--mix it on your paper?
5) Perhaps a tutorial on fall flowers: mums, tube dahlias, marigolds, etc.?
6) Where do you find your subjects to paint?
 
You've gotten SOOO good! People, florals, houses. Inspiring! Do you draw/paint every day? I've learned more from you than ANY one out there, Emma, so thanks a million!

You can tell I'm an "Emmanite" I have all of the same paint, brushes, paper, Dr Martins, everything. I have learned well!

[juliafall]

Love your videos and your florals. ♡ Wondered if you would do a video showing us how you do your floral bookmarks? Sorry if you already have and I have missed this....would just love some videos on what you do with the offcut paper/bookmarks. =) ♡ x
Keep up your Beautiful work, it has encouraged me to pick up the paint brush and start watercolours. =) x

I think if I would have started with snap brushes I would have liked them more. But now that I’ve found DaVincis it’s hard for me to use them for anything except for swatching lol. Davinci is my ride or die brush brand. 🙌🏻 also fell in love with Sennelier paints and Daniel Smith. Expensive but cotman doesn’t blend as smooth as them. Sennelier glides like butter on paper.
