I too am a patreon of Emma’s! Just Love her work and style. She paints quite slowly and enjoys every stroke. Well, at least it looks that way! 😉
She has awesome full-length real-time videos and I am learning a lot from her.
Thank you so much, Gail, for having Emma as a guest speaker !!

Wow Val, thanks for your message! 13 years on a catamaran! You know the cramped feeling of small spaces all too well! It’s not always a bad thing though, I find I never feel cramped in there because of the connection to the outdoors. It’s certainly nice to spread out a little though which is what we’ve been doing for a few months after 2 years on the road. Our winter has been so bad we decided to rent until it improves as solar power was not enough for work! Looking forward to being back on the road come summer though.
I love that you’ve worn out my tape already, I’ll have to keep making new ones!
Happy pastelling!
Emma

That’s the spirit Deb! I think everyone finds velour a bit challenging at first as it behaves in a unique way. I hope that through the videos I’m making I can share all my tips on it while also showing the comparison to other papers when I get time to experiment a bit more! For now, keep doing what you are doing and getting a feel for it. It takes time to get those techniques down.

Hi Sara, thank you! The plastic boxes I use are actually for storing craft. I’ve done a video about them on my Youtube but if you search Ebay for Prym storage you’ll find them. Very useful for on the move!
