At 67, I decided to try watercolor again. I love hearing how its alright to make mistakes and messes, all watercolor paintings go through ugly phases and to just push through. Thank you, Emily, for giving me this gift at this time in my life! 
Since joining
Watercolor Mastery I feel that I’ve grown leaps and bounds in a very short time (three months now), even reaching the point that I’ve taken what I’ve learned to start creating my own paintings! 
OUR STUDENTS ARE GETTING RESULTS
So many topics to keep you interested and the variety is outstanding. A membership that just keeps on giving. 
Having access to all the step-by-step tutorials, daily challenges, and SO much more is SUCH A BARGAIN 
I have learned so much in the short time I have been a member. If you’re considering it, just do it! You will love your artwork and all you will learn. 
Emily is so thorough in explaining how to paint and very encouraging at the same time.
So glad I joined Emily’s water color mastery! She feels like an old friend… 
I have learned more from Emily’s tutorials than from any other teacher. The challenges are really fun and there is always a great selection of subjects to paint. 
I have learnt so much from the tutorials and am a lot more confident in using the correct colours for mixes and creating paintings that I am proud of. 
So happy I found Watercolor Mastery and can’t wait to put brush to paper every day! 
I have learned so much from Emily. I revisit tutorials to apply the techniques, color mixing, etc. to my own projects. I could never have done this without Watercolor Mastery! 
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the instruction I’m getting from Emily. Learning to “paint” was on my bucket list and now I’m finally starting to do this thing I’ve yearned to do for so long. 
My skills have grown exponentially and I find I really, really enjoy the animals the most. I thought I would NEVER be able to paint animals. Now I look forward to trying every single one of them.
I’ve learning so much in just a few months and know I’ll continue to develop my skill while having a ball with watercolor! 
Without Watercolor Mastery I would have given up on watercolor. After 34 tutorials I see a lot of improvement. I’m enjoying my tutorials and have learned so much! 
Without Watercolor Mastery, I would never have been able to paint a portrait! And look at me now! I’ve painted at least 4 and counting! 
The daily challenge gets me doing watercolor everyday…sounds pretty simple, but doing (and learning) every day is essential. Emily makes it fun to hit the brushes everyday…no drudgery, just fun.

Nope. You can upgrade or cancel your account anytime – for any reason. If you cancel before the end of the billing period, you’ll retain access until that period is over.
Nope! While you certainly can do your own sketch, you don’t need to because I provide a sketch with EVERY watercolor project!
You simply print out my sketch and trace it onto your watercolor paper. (I show you every step of the process inside the “Getting Started” module)
Bonus Content: I also teach a couple of neat tricks that non-sketch artists can use to EASILY draw outlines of their own photos before painting them in watercolor.
Of course! We’ve got members from all over the world.
There is a complete list of supplies used in each tutorial in the description of every video. If you do not have the exact paper, paints, brushes, etc. that’s OK!

YES! One of the perks of becoming a member and accessing the reference images and instruction is that you may use your own artwork how ever you choose. I believe every work of art, even if created with the help of instruction, is embedded with your own style and artistic choices.
Please feel free to gift, sell, and exhibit your creations. Keep in mind, however, that if you DO decide to enter your work in competitions, it is usually a requirement that you use only your own original reference images.

4.9 rating out of 5.0
Website very easy to use and love getting daily watercolor to paint. Excellent video to follow along and love the way it is presented. Shows the colors to use, the original photo, a template and the finished painting.
Great class and so helpful Great job!!
I am a metalsmith and we have a gallery show during December so I have not been able to start until after Dec. 25, but I have watched your tutorials for a long time and have watched the first few videos. It is going to be great!! Thank you for the opportunity.
Emily is a pleasure to have as an instructor. She is very pleasant, friendly and very professional. She always encourages people to do their best and don’t give up. I look forward to watching her videos/instructions everyday. Thanks Emily
I really love the classes so far. I’ve only just joined and have been on vacation for a week, but I have enjoyed the beginning intro videos going over the things everyone should know to get started. I began experimenting with watercolor 2 years ago with no prior experience. I began by following short YouTube videos. I loved it immediately and quickly upgraded to professional paper, paint and brushes. If I had seen your classes I think I would have progressed much faster and be further along. I actually attend a class at my local senior center. The instructor is totally a volunteer. We each pay $2 per class for use of the room. I’ve learned a lot through this class, but it’s not a beginner class. It would be amazing if I could set up a beginner class there for newcomers and we could just follow your videos. Not sure how pricing would work, but if you’re interested in helping out just let me know and we could talk about it. Thanks so much for developing this tool. It’s definitely worth the time and money!
Emily’s tutorials are so easy to understand and fun to paint. Because of her instructions and encouragement, I’m getting bolder with my colors and more confident in my sketching. I’;m so glad I signed up for Watercolor Mastery!!
Emily is a wonderful tutor, easy to understand. I joined because she gives drawings of the subject and I can get right to the painting. I am interested in doing animal portraits and I think Emily explains well. I like that she uses a limited pallet. I’m still a beginner, started watercolor just this year so have alot to learn. I do try to paint every day. I enjoy watching the lessons.
