This sounds terrible, but I love seeing you “struggle.” This is how I feel most days. It’s reassuring to know that even professionals sometimes struggle trying out new techniques. Thanks so much for sharing. ❤

Yes, so true enjoyed watching you.have doubt, even as a professional, that vulnerability is so wonderful to see and hear thats why i enjoy watching and learning from. You keep on trouble shooting, even wth your apple watch🌷

This is exactly why I love Emma so much. She does not try to hide her struggles. She is honest about them and in the end she always succeeds with a sense of humour and perseverance. So many artists will not ever admit their mistakes. Emma does and overcomes. Great lesson, thanks Emma.

What I enjoyed most about this video was you openly sharing your struggle and uncertainty. It normalises how even as you been painting for a while you have these moments and it's ok to have them and it still does not stop you from trying. Also - I think you winging it - your roses turned out very beautiful for a first try using a flatbrush! It's not easy and I can imagine with time you'd be so gd! Go for it! 😉😘

I really liked your explanation of three levels of light and dark in making these roses. I enjoyed watching you try the flat brush instead of the round. It is encouraging to see someone else try something new. That’s how I feel often when trying a new technique. This tutorial was very inspiring on many levels. In spite of everything, you salvaged it and made it look beautiful. ❤

Hi Emma! -- You have created some beautiful roses! They have such a "vintage" feel to them ..... I feel like I'm seeing roses from a Victorian summer garden from the 1880s, picked and brought indoors so the artist could capture their beauty! A true snapshot in time!

It looks way better than any rose I have ever done. I watched at least two dozen people make roses hundreds of time and I must have made at least a thousand roses. When finished they all look as if they melted. I think you did very well.

Well, that was very interesting! I’ve only been using watercolour paints for a few months, I’m recovering from numerous strokes, and needed to focus on something creative, I’m quite creative and artsy, but I’m finding watercolours a challenge, watching you use a different method, and finding ways to rectify the look to make it more pleasing to your eye was fascinating, maybe I’m doing it all wrong and instead of using other artist’s techniques, learn a technique of my own, which I will start doing tomorrow, thank you so much , I’m feeling better already 😃😃😃🥰🥰❤️❤️✨🩷✨

I think it looks great and I wouldn't have guessed it was done with a flat wash brush! I love that you are still learning and pushing yourself to become an even better artist. You sound just like me when I'm painting along with someone more advanced or painting something new! We are truly our own worth critics...lol! It's very Shadya Campbell to me. In fact I almost thought it was her video. Kristy rice is one of my new favorites to watch...love her bold fun style as well. BTW I was lookin over painting to pick one for a fair entry and came across the December bouquet and said to myself, "if I do this this and this I could make this painting look so much better!" I can't believe the growth I've had in just the last few months. Painting everyday really does pay off in the end! Thanks for sharing

This is similar to how I’ve painted roses in acrylic. You might find it easier to use an angle shader brush. It is also called a rose pedal brush. It is a flat brush cut on an angle.

I love what you did here! it's perfect! You used Jillian's style to complete your rose as she would but you did it in your own signature style and it turned out as good as Jillian's! You did it! Now that gives me the confidence to try it! I love roses so much but trying to paint them on paper?!!!!!!! Gives me hives from anxiety! and when it got to that point, sadly, I had to leave it alone! But since finding Jillian, and watching that video she did on this technique...? I feel so much better! And you have nothing to worry about! Those roses look beautiful! I love the shade and shadows that you carved out for the petal's depth and light around the edges and ridges! Perfect! Keep going, Emma! I've followed you since I think 2018? or 2019? Anyway, my daughter says I'm good enough to post a video but I'm still chicken. She gets exasperated with me! I have filmed myself but there is sound attached in the background and I'm so new to this that I have no idea how to post without the sound. I scan yt for tutorials on how to do this and so far no one talking about it. It must be something so easy that it happens while uploading?

also, I just thought of this-I can dig out all of my old rose paintings and apply this technique, god willing, and see if it doesn't enhance my work to the point I've always wanted my roses to look like!

Hello, as I am a beginner, often afraid to start, thank you for sharing your experience of being outside of your comfort zone. I like the small buds. I liked watching the construction of the left rose, as I could see there are lots of possibilities, depending on the shape and size of brush and palette used. I would be interested to see a very loose approach, with gradual colour change, for the construction of the right rose. I will try to follow your approach with a round and flat brush. Thank you for encouraging me. I always enjoy watching your channel. 🤗👩🏿‍🎨

A year or so ago I found that the Filbert brush really worked for leaves. It was a great discovery. Anyway your first attempt was fun to watch. Check out Janet Rodgers for loose roses. She is a master! Keep up the good work!

I actually think these turned out great! I really liked the leaves. I still struggle with painting after about 7-8 years of trying. I’m better with line and wash. I recently found a German brand of cat’s tongue brushes in Cape Town…the only ones I have found, that I can FINALLY produce reasonable looking leaves with. Still struggling to produce decent flowers!

Thank you ❤️, we all need to know that we aren't the only ones to struggle, especially by those who teach us. I have been watching Jillian and recently Asuka Watercolor. It seems like they put in base color and then do negative painting to make the flowers. Very interesting to watch. I have no doubt you can master the straight edge brush after a while. This one turned out beautifully. 😊

At 25:55 the rose on the left looks great, while the other rose looks a bit blah, like it needs more specific shading, and highlighting, which I’m sure you’ll do before the video is over. Thanks for doing this. I’m hoping you’ll use the Velvetouch flat brush because I’m thinking of buying one.
