This took me back to my first ever watercolour class and I used paynes grey. Remember being terrified to go as dark as the tutor was saying but I did. Anyway my hubby hung it in his office as he liked it and was offered £500!! Was very chuffed 😀 😊 great reminder of a one colour painting and the inspiration as always emma ❤

Emma, I am a very new beginner!!!!! I have painted acrylics before, but I am in love with the look of watercolors. There are so many watercolor artists on You Tube and they have really amazed me. However, you are a really good teacher. I am a retired elem. teacher, so I appreciate someone who has the ability to explain something so well. You are very talented and I enjoy learning from you. Thank you for sharing that talent.

Thank you, Emma for your dedication to uploading for us! It means so much to have a constant source of inspiration on this art journey. So many youtubers who build their brand on here, suddenly give up and don't make videos anymore unless it's behind a pay wall which is super frustrating. I understand everyone has a right to make a living that works for them, but it's amazing when these kinds of tips and tutorials are available to those of us who can't spend the extra money at the moment. THANK YOU!

Emma this is beautiful!! I need to do this. I'm so afraid of wasting paper though. I have to waste paper to learn. I just bought some Hahnemuhle paper. I'm going to try this on a piece of this paper. When I use cheap paper it never turns out the same. I have good paints DS so this should turn out great!! Thank you for the inspiration! 😊 JK FLORIDA

This was so much fun! I have done it twice ... 2nd time I was very pleased with my result ... I think the first go loosened me up a bit :). I want to try some animals: deer, bear, owl ... with 1 color. Maybe black or brown. I learned quite a lot focused on texture and depth vs what color. Your brush guidance was excellent. Thank you for this!

Emma I'm just wondering if the shadow on the edge of the lake is on the wrong side and should be showing in the water as the sun appears to be coming from the left. Just a thought.
