I just shared the message below with a friend. Thought you might enjoy reading it too. “I have a new addiction! It's watching this lady paint. I enjoy her accent, her spirit, her silliness, encouragement, simplicity and whimsical art.”

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much Simply C!!! I especially like the silliness!!!!

Cute birdies! I have gauche but I haven't seen it in a while. Probably in a closet in one of my craft boxes. I think it's time to locate it. These are adorable and I need to chase away the blues. I did paint 3 blotches in 3 different watercolors last night planning on birds. They are still 3 blotches.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Please do Cathy, unearth those paints and let them see the light of day! Sometimes a change of medium makes all the difference!

Love your videos can you tell please what is wash paint?

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Debbie, I was talking about GOUACHE which is pronounced GWOSH. It is just watercolor paint which has something added to it to make it not transparent but opaque, so it will go over the top of other colours. There is also ACRYLIC GOUACHE which is also opaque, but dried solid like acrylic and I don’t use that because it ruins brushes!
