Like many beginners I tried to tackle way too many things resulting in jack of all trades and master of none. I am finally backing up and taking (mastering) one thing at a time. I love your videos,. They are relaxing, concise and fun. And I really appreciate your getting right to the lesson with minimal talking. Thank you Emily.

Great Tips! I really love the "x ray" flowers. I think I'm definitely going to trying those out. Could you maybe do a video on painting watercolor crystals? Also, I'd love to see you do a reverse watercolor technique. I've been practicing reverse painting leaves and flowers and I really love the depth and effect 🌿🌸

Thank you soo much Emma. I really need to get back to basics. I have got pens, pencils and I’m a bit overwhelmed. I have tried soo many different ways of using them and now am totally confused and I am going to start from the beginning and work through your tutorials. 😊

I'm not quite a beginner, having started off with a group of artists already well versed in watercolor. So I learned realistic watercolor painting. I have longed to learn loose style watercolor. All your basic drills have been great for me! Learning from the ground up, instead of the middle. Even so, I've been fortunate to sell my watercolor pieces! But, have wanted to do true watercolor, & your drills are helpful. Thank you!

Emma, I'm SO excited!! Been watching your tutorials for several weeks; finally got brave enough to order a few supplies. Cannot wait to give watercolour a try! Very impressed with your work. You helped me take the plunge in 2 ways: 1) saying that you are self-taught, & 2) the advice you provided on supplies for beginners (paper, palette, brushes, etc.) If I find I do OK with this little venture, plan to "reward" myself by purchasing your brush set! Thank you for sharing your talent with us... your Northern Michigan 'neighbor'.
