About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...

I’m a couple of years short of 70. I made it just in time 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@shirleygreaves9650]

You are so different to everyone else on KZbin, it’s almost like visiting a friend.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks Shirley, that’s very kind of you xxx

[@conniejenskindsfather979]

Love your final result! I am always amazed at your boldness and ease by which you change your approach... enter leaves and white over the blues, greens, and yellow background followed by gold outlining and embellishment. Then white dots. The white mat and gold frame completes a stunning painting. Not nasty at all ❣ WOW.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it!!

[@wimjanssen2181]

May 322 th.one is never too old to start a new experience. Besides all the negatively of the pandemic certainly a positive thing is all those inspiring KZbinrs. It is in a way very addictive and I personally spend too much on KZbin, but it brings joy, inspiration and your channel especially connects and makes the world lighter and more beautiful and pieceful. Thanks again😊wim

[@tynaheadrick-phipps6768]

Beautiful creation❤️❤️❤️❤️👩‍🎨🎨

Beautiful piece of art. I love the colours. The gold frame really brightened the artwork, making a piece suitable,e for a place of prominence in any home.

Thank you so much 😊

It looks like a lovely underwater garden.

Love this! I'm going to play at this this afternoon. A few years ago when I got the fever to want to learn wc, (haven't hardly anything this past year...stupid hands, arms issues! But not giving) Emma and Ellen were my 1st and I couldn't get enough of them. Shortly thereafter, Kristy Rice. And then....YOU....my #1 fave! There are others I really enjoy and watch regularly but you I save for serious break, down time to watch. Thank you to you and your daughter for sharing all your talent and hard work! I am a 76 year old 'fan girl' Lol😍

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

That’s wonderful Kathy, I read your comment to my husband and daughter because it is so kind. I’m really proud to think you are a fan-girl of mine and so glad you are enjoying the videos. Wishing you much better health and strength in your arms and hands, with love, Diane xxx

I'm so glad! It’s such fun not to have to strive for something isn’t it!

Very beautiful ❤❤❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks a lot 😊

[@Jeannette.akaJnett]

Love what you've done. So interesting of an approach. I find it amazing that as I listen to different people, we have common artists that we follow. Of all the vast number of artists out here, we gravitate to some of the same ones. Maybe it's the style or maybe it's the journey we are on that mirror other's. At any rate, I do enjoy watching and learning.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks for sharing! So glad you enjoy what I do!

[@louisebacon-ogden5032]

I teach art! I am not a professional but work hard to organize classes directed at ANYONE, despite any prior knowledge. Due to unforeseen events, my class venue and time frame were changed. I went with the flow, but a few students commented on my UNorganization! This video gave me an idea. I saw you "going with the flow" and making pretty art. I want to make my evaluation into a positive. I am thinking of a "Let's Make a Chaotic Pretty Mess." I think....right now...I am going to have fun splashing paints about. Then just add gold, lines and squiggles. How can it turn out NOT pretty!? Love what you do! Thank you!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Do you have a KZbin channel Louise or do you teach in person? If you have a channel let me know and I’ll share your links.

[@louisebacon-ogden5032]

@@DianeAntoneStudio I teach in person and on Zoom (have an overhead camera). Not too computer savvy. Have no idea how to DO KZbin, only watch it! Maybe I should find out.

[@conniedenaples2791]

Diane, I love tuning into FB and finding one of your videos. I’ve grown accustomed to your chats and your paintings. I also have followed Emma and Ellen since around the time you started. I have your brushes, too! Sending hugs and good vibes your way, and also to your family, all the way from New Jersey. Je t’aime ❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Wonderful! So happy to hear that and I’m really glad you enjoy the channel. Sending hugs back to your and your family from your friends in France!

It’s always amazes me how your painting develop. Be bold!! Love the framing of the painting at the end🥰 Thank you Diane!

[@valeriecarter5475]

Thank you for showing this technique again. The last time you painted with the white I did not have the nerve to try it. This week I am going to be bold! Blessings 🙂

Yay! It won’t fail you, I promise!

[@hilarybailey2902]

What a lovely picture! It is almost dreamlike....ethereal. I really look forward to trying this layering technique again. Loved it when you did it with the birds. I tried several with happy results.Thank you Diane 😊

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much! It is definitely a really useful technique to use - either on purpose or to “rescue” a painting that has got too dark. Have fun!

You always inspire with your painting.....i love watching you and listening to your conversation it's so relaxing and very enjoyable. I'm looking forward to giving this one a go! Thanks so much! Loving the gold frame.....it makes everything pop! 🙏❤️🖼️😊

Thank you for another relaxing video. Actually I saw some of your first videos recorded in Spain the other day. 😊 I have learned so much from you. The first year I just watched your videos here on You Tube. But the last six month as a Patreon has really boosted my work. I will encourage others to do the same! So much value for money.

Bonjour Diane , une fois encadree c est pas mal , j aimais bien le premier jet de couleurs sur la feuille avant que tu ne rajoute une couche plus fonce . Tu as raison une photo on voit mieux ce qui ne va pas . Tu peux aussi prendre une photo a different stade de ton dessin , ca aide a voir ou on a deraper . Les posca vont surtout tres bien sur les fonds acrylique , sur le reste ils sont capricieux , il faut de temps en temps nettoyer l embout sur une feuille a cote . Voila , sinon tu dois etre contente de sortir enfin des tempetes et voir les rayons de soleil . Bises , a bientot

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Bonsoir Françoise, j’espère que tu vas bien et qu’il ne fait pas trop chaud là-bas au sud! Enfin nous avons eu une très belle journée ensoleillée et calme, et pas trop froid non plus ! Seulement quelques gouttes de pluie dans la matinée ! La peinture n’est sûrement pas un chef d’œuvre mais on apprend quelque chose chaque fois qu’on peint et ça continue! Je te souhaite un bon weekend, à bientôt et bises, Diane x

[@maryspringer1442]

That looks great framed! It's always so surprising to see what something you have painted looks like when you put it into a frame or panel. I have found that those Posca pens can be a bit finicky, have to have just the right angle to get them to flow nicely. I have a white one that constantly burps out blobs of very watery paint. Its quite annoying! Often, I will switch it up for a Tooli Art white paint pen instead, I enjoy listening to and watching both you and Miss Trent. Both of you are fun, engaging, easy to paint along with for beginners, and have soothing voices This video was a good one for an idea of something relaxing yet fun to paint when you cant think of what you want to paint..

[@FoxJo]

Lovely! When do you use Posca white vs Pentel white gel pen?

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

The Posca gives a thicker line and is more likely to work when the paper is rough or has a lot of paint on it. The gel pen really wants the paper to be smooth!

[@jackibrewer1115]

Are you painting on watercolor block paper?

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

At the moment I’m using Meeden blocks of watercolor paper like these: Meeden 100% cotton paper amzn.to/3J6X6FP
