I have been watercoloring for only 18 months. But I have learned so much from you and you have inspired me to be more confident and courageous when I paint. So thank you so much for all you share. ♥️
Dear Ema! I just finished painting step by step with you and I have an incredibly beautiful branch of Sakura in front of me and I'm just sitting here looking at it and I still can't believe how amazing it looks 🥹 You're awsome and I thank you for this mood booster 🩷 I was painting on the pale blue/baby blue paper and used white gel pen instead of ink. It’s just perfect! Thanks a million, you are the best
I love watching you bring the painting to life w such ease. I have to rewind and go very slowly, and still do not get anywhere near the same results, but I learn so much from you w every attempt. Thanks so much!
I did this tutorial a while ago and it came out not too bad, amazingly!! It's now pinned to the lounge wall! I also made a couple of birthday cards for friends. Thank you so much Emma! You are a fab teacher. Love from Mel in Devon, UK 🍰🌻
This is a good lesson, especially the shadow tones.
What a great tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to share your gift for teaching.
Absolutely beautiful. It pops right off the page and looks so real. Thanks for the great tutorial!
Emma, I watch EVERY SINGLE video of yours and I think this is my fave! I love them all, but this one just speaks to me! So gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! Have a great Mother’s Day!

Beautiful! Thanks for a complete tutorial.

Your cherry blossoms are gorgeous!
So pretty!!
Oh I was waiting for this video on the cherry blossom and the details of the blooms. Like, I didn't know they had red stems or red sheaves at bottom of the blossom. I painted the lose cherry blossom (which are very pretty by the way) that you had in the card video before this one and I was wondering what else I could add to them but well now I know! Ya!!!! Thank you. Believe me I tried looking on the internet for pictures of a close up of the blooms but no luck. So thank you so much!!! 😷🧤😊😎🌴FL.
You make it look soooo easy...
So delicate, must give this a try.🎨
merveilleux merci
Thank you so much!
You done a great job
Loved it!
Happy Mother’s Day Emma!
Lovely, thanks
AMAZING!!! Thank you so much!!!
I love the video! I'm actually planning a piece involving cherry blossoms specifically so this came at the exact right time! (also "how paint paint" has me cracking up!)

Beautiful!
That’s lovely☺️💕💐👍🏻
The shading was wonderful! Such a pretty painting! I feel like the branch could have used bit of contrasting color to make it look less flat. Thanks!
Perfect
Beautiful
😍 😍 😍 😍 Precioso

I know what I’m doing tomorrow! Cherry blossoms, I adore them. For the longest time I always thought Maid Marians ring (in the Disney animated Robin Hood) was a cherry blossom.
Lovely
Fantastic
I was looking for a cherry blossom tutorial and found this!!! It got in my recommended 11 months later than it was uploaded😂
Very beatiful🥰! Greeting from spain👋🏻!
Здравствуйте! Вы очень красивая девушка с приятным голосом и удивительным талантом художника! Желаю Вам счастья и здоровья, уважаемая коллега! Привет из Сибири 🙃
I'm SO glad I am not the only person who drops their paint brush over their newly finished painting!!! LOL In fact, I usually ruin my newly finished paintings in some way or other, totally clumsy moves like dropping brushes WITH PAINT ON THEM right in the center of my painting. Can't tell you how many times I've done that. :\ When I am done, I RUN AWAY....
I have the same issue with Bee watercolour paper (I’m in Scotland). I love using the ready cut 6x9”, 100% cotton, cold pressed sheets for practice as the paper is very good value for the quality, and it saves my Arches and Saunders Waterford for best. I’m getting to the end of my supply of Bee and I can’t find it for sale anywhere! If anyone knows where I can still buy this paper, I’d be grateful for a heads-up. Thank you for your videos, Emma. Your presentation style is so informal and friendly, but I learn so much from watching your tutorials. :)
The Bee paper shortage in the UK will be due to Covid-19. I’ve noticed a significant amount of imported art supplies are increasing in price due to low stocks/lack of availability due to covid-19 delays/restrictions surrounding imports. PS: A nicely priced 100% cotton paper is Hahnemuhle expressions. You can get a watercolour block of 20 sheets at 9 x 12 inch for around £12. It’s worth the money.

The bee paper shortage is everywhere - not just the UK. I'll keep the Hahnemuhle in mind though!
@Kyomiibrown

chaserkitty Probably still related to covid, perhaps due to an ingredient used, because in February, the paper was easily sourced. The Hahnemuhle expressions is better quality though.
Tbh you deserve more and more subscribers :0
Happy mother's day Emma
So glad you addressed the BEE PAPER issue... I thought I was the only one that couldn't find it and l too have tried to get ahold of them via IG and not a peep. I purchased 2 of the 50pk 90lb 100% cotton wc paper and I regret not buying more. I only have one pack left and I wish I would have went back for the 140lb when they were still on Amazon. I wasn't too sure about the quality and even at 90lb it works so nicely! If I hear anything I'll let you know Emma! Hugs from Massachusetts! Laura...

Lettering By Laura The pandemic has made it so hard to get supplies. Especially art or sewing supplies. Everyone wants to have a creative outlet. Hopefully this will all change for the good 😊. We are all in this together! If we run out of paper maybe we can all paint on our walls 🙂

@@brightsmiles1962 Yes! Tell me about it! I'm shocked on the prices too! I would usually pay less then $30 for some watercolors buy paid $49 today... I'm going to try some of Arteza's 100% cotton wc and see how that goes. They are the only ones that don't seem to be price gouging...

Lettering By Laura I spend more time looking for supplies sometimes than actually being in my craft room. I actually enjoyed to local stores for finds, but lately I just leave them frustrated by their offerings. Ohio
The paper mill that made the bee paper closed its doors putting bee paper out of business. I’m so sad about it. It was the best paper for practice and all not real serious painting. I don’t know what I’ll use now. Luckily I was able to get 3 sketchbooks before they were all gone. The cherry blossoms are so beautiful! I found myself wanting you to add more and more flowers and make it all fat. Happy Mother’s Day to you! Tell daddy he and baby get to spoil you! 😁

Hey Emma! I love watching your videos and learn a lot. I wanted to ask where your palette is from? Another palette related question: any tips on building your own? Which colors are a must? Any brand recommendations?

I have never been this early!!!
The petals are so pretty. Was white added to the pink pedals initially?
Exquisite! Well done! Please tell me what is that stuff you soften your colours and make them looser?❤️🦋
I love your flowers Emma--I did many! Why did you use Bee paper--I've never tried it--how would you describe it ?
😍
Can you paint jasmine sometime pretty please!!!
