I love the second one most. I actually followed the tutorial for the one you did 4 years ago and painted my own as I was learning how to do water color. I have a lot of anxiety and I found it freeing to have less control and let the water color be loose and bleed.

@roxiwineanderson6508 9 ай бұрын

The last one*

I really like the 2nd one more. It's a bit more abstract and "looser" in style which I believe captures the essence of watercolor.

I like the original, the flowers are found yet get lost in such an organic way it’s stunning for a loose painting. Most loose paintings kinda end up all blending together, and few stand out as just simple, yet nice, and calm.

@janehayes1357 Жыл бұрын

They are all beautiful! Hard to pick a favorite! I especially appreciate you teaching the little “flicks” around the tops of the petals. It looks ruffly (not a word). I’ve wondered how to do that! Thank you!

I had never seen the first video so I went back and watched it. In that video you were trying to recreate a painting you had done on vacation. It was a great video. I think because in the first video you let the water and the paint do most of the work you saw the magic happen. Putting down water and adding paint to see what happens. It’s very inspiring. This video was definitely more instructive as to strokes and types of brushes. All three paintings plus the vacation painting were beautiful and each had elements that were my favorite. I do like the transparency of the first video painting so that was my absolute favorite. I can see your confidence in painting has grown! Wonderful video today.

Hi Emma, I saw this first painting of yours a few years ago. I loved it then and attempted to paint it. I was a beginner I fell in love with water oolour. I've had some good art and a lot of bad stuff but i am still persevering . I am 82 yrs young and watch all your Tutorials. Just love your work. I love them all but the 2nd is my favorite. Rosemary

I was so excited to see you revisit this painting. I appreciate your courage in trying to recreate it. Trying to recreate any art is daunting, but watercolor (with a mind of its own) is especially hard! I like all versions of this painting that you have done. I absolutely adore the first painting that you did before the first video. There is a magical spontaneity in that first one. That first video has been in my "watch later" list for years. I expect that this video will be the same. As my skills improve, I get more courage to attempt this painting. Thanks so much!

I found Jillian on KZfaq but couldn't find Crafty Fox gal. (Also, I follow you on Instagram & tag you there when I've done one of your tutorials here. ) So, I've been following you for at least 2 yrs and and done several of yours. I absolutely love the energy you bring, it's very calming for my ADHD issues & painting with you give me the confidence to keep going. You are so genuine & make me feel like you're a friend sitting with me as we paint together. I still vet much consider myself a beginner because I still follow tutorials, but as I keep working at it, I feel more relaxed. Also, is been nice to see your son growing up, too! I think I started watching you when you were still pregnant with him! Can't remember how long ago that was, but he's so cute! Lastly, I LOVED ALL THREE! Honestly, the different techniques you used made them pretty for each method so definitely a win on all! God bless you for being so generous with your gift & sharing your heart.

Wow this is absolutely stunning on all 3 but I can't say I honestly have a favorite because I learned so much from all 3. Now I don't feel so much confusion on how to paint poppies. I have tried a few times but it was so loosely done my last 1st one I just painted it darker and doodled on it. It was a totally different person I watched in December tho. I really like how you were loosely painting but still have structure. Especially the 2nd one being more structured because I learned the structure of a poppy from different angles with highlights shadows and midtones. I also love how you were able to do it more loosely yet still see the structure of the poppy petals. Inspiring.!
