What makes a painting interesting many times is not exactly the subject but the combination of colors used and how they catch your eye. Great video!👏🏼👏🏼

The just ordered the field book yesterday and gets here today! I also recommend Drawing and Painting Expressive Little Faces: Step-by-Step Techniques for Creating People and Portraits with Personality--Explore Watercolors, Inks, Markers, and More (it’s cute and silly) AND Urban Watercolor Sketching: A Guide to Drawing, Painting, and Storytelling in Color (it’s so chaotic and beautiful)

[ChantelleArts]

That’s actually a fantastic idea, having paper inside that you can directly use watercolour on 😊 looks like a great book, thanks for sharing

[tricraftual]

Right after I watched this today I ordered A Field Guide to Color! I’m new at watercolor in think this will be great for me! Thanks for the heads up!

[wendykelcey]

I have both flower books. They really are awesome!

[monicaduncan]

Thanks for opening up my understanding 🎨

[susanwhite]

I've had this book for a couple of years but never really dived into it too deeply. Thanks for sparking my interest again.

I bought myself the field guide a few weeks ago so I'm very excited to see you got it and love it, too. Thanks, Emma!

[dianeruggles]

Thank You!! ❤️ I really feel I could use this information and would enjoy the "workbook" part of the exercises!!

[Oceans]

I got this one at Christmas and will be diving into it more.

I have the Field guide to Color as well. Just received the Flower Color Guide today.

[AnitasDreams]

Thanks for the info on the books. Color theory is so fun to play with.

[sarahwold]

Ordered and received! Read it cover to cover and will now delve into the meditation exercises. Helps me with color combos...I seem not to be very good at it...at least I think. Thanks for the review.

[Alliekat]

You should check out Lisa Solomon’s Color Meditation Deck as well. It’s great for endless prompts- for when you are out of ideas or overwhelmed by what to paint. It’s great for inspiration and practice.

[LoveCreate]

That workbook looks amazing! So full of helpful information!

[katherineh.]

Come ON I just got the bouquet book in the mail and new brushes and new paint and paper. I'm gonna go broke 🤣 surprised my hubs didn't tweak when he saw all our packages

[nancypyter]

What a fun book, I will put it on my list Emma. Looked like a fun exercise!🥰
