I agree, you are a great teacher. I have recently retired after 39 years in a skilled trade. I have not painted anything since 1973. I am watching your KZfaq posts to help inspire to start painting again. I really love your presentation and how you make it feel like we are sitting in your studio as you show us how to paint. Thank you.

Emma, I love your videos. I am an illustrator who works very realistically in watercolor, and you have really helped me to "loosen up"! You have such a sweet, positive calm manner in teaching. BTW- you've gotten me hooked on Craftamo brushes because I stopped using fur brushes a long time ago, and it's difficult to get high quality synthetic brushes. I LOVE them! Thank you!

It looks easy but is so difficut to repeat it. One basic thing is the strokes. It will take me a lot of excersise because I am fascinated by firs.

Hello Emma, I am relatively new to your channel and would like to thank you for your educational videos. I have finally got time to get involved in something I have wanted to do for years. I am now collecting all my supplies and will begin in a few weeks. I have watched several of your videos looking for a video on how to mix and use the colors. Do you have a video for a complete novice? Getting started for beginners would be good. Thank you and happy holidays to you and your family.
