She is an amazing artist! I wish I could paint like that! Did I see some time lapse oreos and milk??? and it’s so cool to see her paint it after seeing it in the magazine
Wow, that was really cool!! Emma, I have always loved your stone soup illustrations.
What an awesome video!

It’s neat watching the time lapse! AWESOME JOB!
p.s. do you have any tips or ideas of what drawing to show to try to become an illustrator of Stone Soup?
p.s.s. did Stone Soup ask you to make this video?

Hello everyone! This is Emma. Sorry it took me a while to get back to the comments, I didn’t even realize this was up on the website proper! Soooo, without further ado (warning, ridiculously long comment below):
Artist360: Thank you so much! I’m glad you were inspired by the way I paint. Feel free to experiment too – I picked up a lot of my techniques by making mistakes and having to fix them quickly with whatever was at hand (that’s how I got started using sponges!) Also, yes, I have had a Stone Soup cover! In the January/February 2010 issue, I got my first story published. It was called “Plant a Thimble” and I illustrated it myself. The illustration was featured on the cover! You can see it at: http://chapelchronicles.com/pages/works?index=3
Jessiethought: Thanks a lot! I would love to pursue art and writing as my full-time career (I also have written stories for Stone Soup in the past, along with illustrating them!)
Sunny: No, it only took me 6.5 hours! That period is pretty hard to see… also, it took me a while to be accepted as an illustrator. My main problem at first was that I was submitting drawings that either had a landscape or a character, but not both. I actually got my first assignment after I submitted a comic book I’d done, which was one of my first pieces where I showed I could draw lots of characters interacting in a scene. Aaaand, no, Stone Soup didn’t ask me to make the video! I make lots of videos like these for my various projects (I also have a line of greeting cards and comic strips) and I decided to do one for my last Stone Soup illustration. Once I finished the video, I asked if they’d put it on their website!
Phew, okay, that was a LOT of responding. Thank you all for leaving such wonderful comments, it really means a lot to me! I’ve had a great time writing and illustrating for Stone Soup, and I’m sad I’m too old to submit now. I still enjoy reading it every month though!

Grace: The finished illustration is at http://chapelchronicles.com/pages/works?index=20. And yes, I was eating oreos and milk! Best mid-painting snack EVER.
