AFRAID to paint for FEAR of failure? RELEASE your Inner Child and let your CREATIVITY flow!

[@normul5984]

OK, first, I love the tutorial - sharing with my daughter, too, who is just beginning. But….I’m too much of an animal lover not to comment…loved the ending with your dogs. You seem to have such a wonderful life there!!!!

[@malgozata1875]

Hello Diane, I LOVE the way you have started this video (and the previous one) with the view of your outdoors and you and Lottie (It is Lottie. Right?) Awesome. Thank you for this video. I really appreciate it. So, what I was trying to say in my previous comments is that you have a connection with your viewers. You taking the time to read and to answer all of our comments bonds us together... into a family. AI cannot do this. You see! May have more comments later as I am still enjoying it. Have a great day. Hugs, Eve

[@lora9664]

Love that you include your animals in the video. Looks peaceful where you live.

[@juliesanger4488]

Love seeing the puppies and all your animals on your videos!

[@cowgirljane3316]

Love the flowers. Oh, to have the energy and enthusiasm of a dog.

[@patkircher189]

Love this! Has a vintage quality about it.

[@karendirmish2696]

Love this lesson in Loose, I really need to be reminded not to have tight hand! Also love the Brush presentation, as I have lots of brushes through the years. Thanks for teaching me so many ways to do things! Karen Dirmish Learner! 15:15

[@dawnkieffer6865]

Loose ferrule? Tip I learned from Lindsay Weirich's youtube..gently squeeze the ferrule with pliers. No more twisting. 😊

[@kathyedmondson9183]

And in the end you have something lovely!❤

[@sandycols4870]

Pretty, easy flowers, I'm going to start page 1 in my new watercolor pad with these. (I've had it for over a week and afraid to paint in it for fear I'll mess it up.) Such fun with the dogs at the end! No matter what country they are in, dogs love to chase after whatever you throw. :) Thank you for another relaxing video. Sandy

[@amandaterrio4823]

Your dogs are so cute! I loved watching them play

[@vivienneadamson2307]

I really enjoyed this tutorial Diane. I enjoyed trying to control my water as I find I sometimes don’t use enough water and because it was painting loosely I wasn’t freaking about the marks and shapes that were being made. The Art Nouveau set has nice muted colours and when using this technique of painting it gives a nice pastel/vintage look. Using an older or unfamiliar paintbrush can give some nice effects also. Very relaxing tutorial Diane, Thankyou. I wish I was as light on my feet as Lottie is her paws she’s like a Spring lamb skipping about with your brush and her ball he he!!!!!!! An absolute delight xxx 🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@faithisrising]

This turned out so pretty! Always love the Art Nouveau paints. Have a wonderful weekend Diane! ~ Sherri

[@christelleralph1702]

I love the loose touch...I need to practice...love your style Diane ❤

[@StephanieBeal-xz7lw]

Very pretty. I was surprised you didn't add any gold. My friend really likes the gold blended in to petals and spatter, so I might try something like this and add gold. Loved the laughter at the end with the dogs. Thank you for all you do and the wonderful variety. Take care.

[@ninnin49865]

I also think a touch of gold would be lovely! 😊

[@ninnin49865]

Love the final result with the big brushes! I’ve painted little flowers using this technique, but never thought of using the hake brush! Will definitively give it a try. Thanks, Diane! Oh, and what a nice and joyful ending with your dogs ❤

[@LindaSmith-fr3yh]

❤ The flowers! I will practice. I really need to loosen up. Thank you. It’s difficult to overcome being so detail oriented.

[@priscillawarren9979]

Your pictures are always so elegant in the end.

[@teresamcfall9491]

Good lesson to try several ways of painting flowers. Thanks Diane 😊

[@bu8483]

Hi, Diane! I'll make some loose flowers in size XL and see how they look!🤷 Have a nice evening! Adriana

[@ritaappleby2432]

I love this. Definitely going to give it a go ❤

[@deborahrabine9956]

I'm looking forward to trying this one. Thanks, Diane! I love hearing the rooster crowing in the background.

[@KrystaGibsonify]

Great video. Going to go try this right now! And we got a rare glimpse of YOU! Sometimes it feels like you are a disembodied entity who just has these tremendously talented hands that know how to paint! LOL

[@juliesanger4488]

My comment on the mushrooms should have been here! I thought it was your daughter playing fetch at the end of this video! I need your skincare routine! You are amazing!

[@wandascott3678]

What a fun tutorial! Enjoyed your loose technics. Definitely giving them a try...great for Birthday cards. Wanda 🇨🇦

[@dianebaumann612]

Oh my goodness!! Love your dogs! We have a golden retriever that looks a lot like yours and we have a beagle! They’re our angels!

[@lora9664]

Lovely paintings and great info. Old brushes who knew?

[@dianelodico2166]

Diane, this is another beauty! Thank you for the video---and the dogs!

[@dinahrose6814]

Loved seeing you playing with the dogs at the end,

[@deirdrelewis1454]

I have tried this. I found the angle brush or sword brush worked best for me.

[@DeniseBrooks1955]

So soft and gorgeous!♥️♥️

[@denisesanborn9965]

Your Golden retriever is beautiful!

[@user-jg2lc2yn1p]

I love the whosits on the whatsits. Great tutorial and it’s fun to get glimpses into your life. Thanks, some more.

[@deannamunro8148]

adding the small details really makes a big difference!!! The flowers become more dimensional. PS - love the rooster in the background!!!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much! 😊 Yes, they do make all the difference, and overnight they improve too!

[@Usdukes]

I do love this technique and I do watch Maremi on her channels. When I first saw this I thought how interesting and fun this could be! It is fun, after all! I do love your painting skills! You always seem to know what to do to help us improve. Thank you!😊

[@SueKivley]

SO pretty!

[@lourdeselena4771]

That’s beautiful. I really love that art nouveau set of paints.

[@alichtenwalter]

Diane, I love your flowers. I just put my brocken brushes. I will get them out of the trash. I really liked it when you played with your dogs. Thanks.

[@coletteg.4548]

Oh Dianne I love this tutorial ❣️ I’ve been so intimidated by loose watercolor. You made it look easy doing it this way !!

[@brendayarborough1271]

Love this so much! Fantastic "be a loose goosie" lesson!!

[@deborahbovee9468]

Marta at Maremi has been doing some lovely projects… I enjoy your lessons because of the genius variety of subjects and techniques.

[@debschieve3468]

I love seeing your dogs! More please! 🐶🐕

[@therealkathytincler]

Wonderful technique and lovely outcome! Love intro and outro. Tfs and have a wonderful weekend. 😀

[@malgozata1875]

Diane, i love how you have included your beautiful home scenery (I am a bit envious. I wish my home had such a lovely location in the countryside like you have), and Lottie and Zen. It makes your videos even more personal, loving and special. What a great idea. I, myself, had a golden retriever once and i just love this breed of dogs. They are beautiful, huggable and kind. Thank you. Your tutorial is awesome, helpful , personal and loving as always. Have a lovely, relaxing Sunday. Hugs. Eve

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much Eve, I so appreciate your support xxx

[@jillhayes6660]

Lovely relaxed tutorial. Learned a lot. Thank you Diane

[@nancywhitten2585]

The flowers remind me of the pink dogwood tree flowers found in mid-Atlantic US states (only 4 petals). I don’t think the same dogwood is in Europe. Love the puppies! Thank you for sharing your talent. Nancy in South Carolina

[@carolyndaughton3373]

What a great video! It's always so fun to get a glimpse of your lovely garden, sweet dogs, and beautiful you! Your paintings are gorgeous with that vintage look I love. I'll give this technique a go today. Oh, and a friend of mine told me yesterday that her sister is now interested in learning watercolor so she gave her your KZbin channel information. Yay....another aspiring artist headed your way! Thank you Diane and Tamsin for a lovely tutorial and sharing your happy pups with us.

[@lanahughes5254]

I'll have to give this a try. It looks easy enough if you have the right worn out brush. LOL

[@susanmccormack709]

Gorgeous

[@robynforman1978]

Sharing with my son. Thank you for another enjoyable video.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much Robyn, much appreciated!

[@craftycat7212]

Such glorious flowers Diane. Love this idea.💕Amy

[@iforester4449]

A calming tutorial that I can follow without feeling rushed. And love your dogs - I spent many happy hours with my old dog, she never tired of tennis balls!

[@diane2941]

I like this technique. Might be just the thing on days I can't concentrate well. Cute doggies too! Thanks

[@hilarybailey2902]

Great tutorial. Your flowers were lovely and delicate. Mine turned out a bit wonky but look forward to trying again. Relaxing and fun. Thank you Diane x

[@gailypparila5207]

Oh my such beautiful flowers. I love your finishing techniques.❤

[@adrianapusztai6806]

🌻🌸🌺 love the teaching and the mumbling (no AI can replace that) 😊 It's this loose watercolour that entices me and inspires me, and I love the intricate pen detail, beautiful. Good to see your paint brushes have an afterlife. Thank you

[@LoriF25403]

Such a cool way of making loose flowers. Thank you

[@shannasisak]

Finally I found the Art Nouveau set!! Ordered and it's coming today...... so excited! Not that I really need any more colors, but there is just something about that palette that I can't resist! Seriously in LOVE with your brush missing half of the hairs! Absolute gold!

[@marthabridges9098]

I have seen this technique before but have never tried it. Thanks for encouraging trying something new!

[@LiciaPearl]

I tend to have a tight hand too! I like this method of loose florals. It is just too hot here at the moment for me to focus on painting, but I will resume when things cool down a bit. I'm bookmarking all of your videos for easy access later. :). Thank you for another great tutorial. I also love seeing glimpses of your farm. :). Happy Weekend!

[@Earwen-ze9yu]

Same here! Too hot to paint with watercolors, so I treat myself with Diane’s videos at least.

[@KMercure]

I’ve done some of Maremi’s dot flowers with varying degrees of luck, but I like yours because they’re simpler colour choices and even looser. The Art Nouveau colours also lend a very different feel. Lovely!

[@apronhugsingreeenbay]

Thank you for the lesson. Awesome demo of the technique.😊

[@debhalld9794]

Water, oh my...I'm having trouble with using enough water! I will be practicing using this technique.

[@jeaniemiller1929]

Thank you so much, Diane!!! I will be trying this today. I have all of my mom's old watercolor brushes and I'll use them for fun. These flowers will make a very nice birthday card for my cousin's birthday. You can tell your dogs love you so much (dogs are definitely woman's best friend!)

[@denisezimmer8569]

I love the softness of this flower! This will be fun to see what the paint does. Must go check to see if I actually own a flat brush, I think I see one! It will be fun to practice with all kinds of color combinations! Lottie needs a chuck it ball. Or, you need the chuck-it thrower.....Zen would love it too!

[@jodirankin5901]

Beautiful, and calming. Thank you for sharing!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Our pleasure!

[@marianvanhouten3045]

This is a really funny technique and you make such lovely flowers with it. Thank you . I will make some of these " loose" flowers ;)

[@dorothyhagler5759]

Good morning/afternoon, Diane! This tutorial is just what I need today ~ thank you! Easy and fun, resulting in these beautiful loose flowers. Painting with you is so relaxing and stress relieving. You are such a good teacher.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much Dorothy, I really appreciate your comment and am so glad you find the painting helps you relax xxxx

[@kathyh4110]

Looks like the perfect was to play. Thanks.

[@tammyfowler6416]

Love this. Thank you for a new technique to help me loosen up.

[@Jeannette.akaJnett]

Such a great concept. I must try that sometime soon. Thank you for sharing.

[@lindakuck5981]

Ive watched maremi's channel this is a fun technique I use it when i want to loosen up or don't know what to paint. Fun!! 😊❤

[@periwinkleplannerco]

Thank you so very much for showing more of Lottie as you had said earlier to me. It warms my heart so and makes me smile thinking of my Sully.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

You are so welcome!

[@junemaguire5053]

Some do dars or the whatsits, just love it.

[@barbramacnair5937]

Thanks for sharing yet another technique. You are a source of endless inspiration! I appreciate you!

[@love2create62]

I loved the video and the technique! I didn't even think I liked that paint palette until I saw you use it, then I had to get it! I'm so glad I did! 😊🎨 There's nothing better than our furbabies; unconditional love 24/7!! 🐾❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much for commenting, I’m so glad you enjoy the videos!

[@christinegentes9096]

Didn't think I would enjoy this technique, but I did. Thanks for the fun lesson

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mariedunn3774]

I love the sheerness of this technique. I may try this at my next in-person event, I like to paint on site, it’s a great conversation starter and sometimes I even do a little custom piece with colors a visitor specifically requests.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

That's a great idea!

[@lyseclement6628]

What a joyful ending Diane :-) Thank you for helping us to loosen up with that technique. It looks like a lot of fun for my weekend

[@juditszepessy8936]

I love the colours and the technique you use in the video, Diane! It was lovely to see your beautiful garden and dog! My parents had a very similar dog. It was a pure Hungarian breed. He was very faithful.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much! You‘re a star Judit!

[@teresazade7496]

Thank you. I prefer a loose style. This is lovely. I'm picturing it with fall colors and more pointed petals, like a sunflower.... thank you!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Sounds great! Thanks so much for commenting!

[@posiesutton2009]

Brilliant! Again you have come up with more and fun techniques for us to explore! Love them Diane!XOXOX❤️❤️❤️

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much!

[@delphinewood7519]

This looks so fun and relaxing. Definitely trying it. Thanks!

[@dancinglisaj]

Can't wait to try!

[@debramartin3715]

What a fun technique! Thanks Diane ❤

[@ramonalachapelle8691]

I think it stretches your creative muscles to try something that takes you away from your typical practice - these loose flowers do that for me!

[@juliepatterson6178]

Adore these flowers. Right up my alley.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Glad you like them!

[@judygrandstrand9784]

Love the pups!

[@estelalozdon6096]

Awww such lovely loose flowers. Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@lisadorough7114]

Yes, Maremi is wonderful too. I need more practice on this technique.

[@pamelynparrish8785]

I love this technique! I watched Maremi do this a few days ago ... Both lovely results ... I must give it a go!

[@FannaTurano]

I've watched Marimi do her dot flowers and she adds WAY BLING on hers! They're gorgeous. Btw, I received my used book, Watercolor Simplified, yesterday, and I've thumbed through it. Quite loose, not sure I could get there, but I'll give it a read. Very interesting. Have a great weekend, Diane and Tamsin, and many thanks for all of your efforts! :) Fanna

[@dianebaumann612]

I am mesmerized watching you develop a beautiful painting right before my eyes! It’s so calming to listen to you! I’m from Kentucky and just love listening to your accent! You are such a talented artist!

[@bevc8306]

I wish my dots would turn out flowers like yours do. 🤪🤪🤪 I absolutely love this tutorial. Thank you ❤❤❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

You’re welcome 😊 Just keep practising xxx

[@pamvance7378]

Yes MAREMI is amazing. I love the technique.

[@susananthony2084]

Omg! Just love, love, love the ending with you playing with the dogs and how cute they are. I'm so glad you are outside enjoying some good weather there! As far as Maremi goes, I only like your channel and about one other one! I watched Maremi only one time and said "this is not for me! lol" But the way you explain the dot method, I will give it a try. 😄

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much, appreciate your feedback, I can’t watch people who have certain mannerisms that’s just me but she seems like a good person with some great ideas xxxThanks so much for your support!

[@biancathomas7934]

This is a really fun technique and enjoyable results without too much effort. Thank you for this one. ❤ Like you say, sometimes you want to try something quick and easy. I find these give a sense of satisfaction at times when I struggle to hold the brush and focus on the paper so well. The in between periods.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Yes, exactly❤️

[@pamgrover9910]

Fun lesson

[@janiceheger291]

Cool technique! It really releases magical effects! Clever! I fight to try to be loose in painting. This would really help me to break my own boundary.

[@carloshaun7297]

Lovely!

[@deborahbovee9468]

Excellent tutorial. So much to learn.. thank you. Always a pleasure.
