About the author

EMMA LEFEBVRE is a watercolour artist and educator whose YouTube channel, EmJ Watercolour Studio, grew from a single video into an ongoing series focused on creativity, calm, and inspiration.

Lefebvre drew on three years of arts high school training and a background in teaching to develop her approach to watercolour instruction, which centres on the therapeutic effects of the medium.

When she’s not creating, Lefebvre credits watercolour painting with drawing her back to art after a period of depression and anxiety. That experience directly shapes her focus on making the practice accessible and encouraging to others.
