Find Mindfulness and Release your Creativity with Watercolor Wanderings on a Winter’s Day in France

[@paulabeaulieu52]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for letting us go with you to let the chickens out! That was like a breath of fresh air! I loved every second!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Glad you enjoyed it! Chickens say hi!

[@lyncanale4628]

I liked that too. 🐔

[@yovamccoy2806]

Thank you! I enjoyed seeing the chickens at the beginning and hearing about the weather. We got up to 61 degrees today in Colorado before going into a deep freeze tomorrow with a little snow. I'm glad to hear your headache has finally gone. Magnesium is wonderful. It helps my sister a lot with epilepsy. Sometimes I've used it in lotion form for arthritis and Charley horses. I enjoyed watching you crochet. Our brains need different things at different times. You gave us a wonderful painting project. I especially loved the wet on wet at the beginning, the dots at the junctions, and how the whole piece developed like a quilt.

So glad to hear you’re feeling much better. 🤗

Thank you,such a fun exercise. Your rooster Gabriel is very handsome. He looks like a very in charge fellow. Dogs are the best-paws up🤗

[@janetrusterucci3232]

glad you are headache free! Stress is always a factor in headaches I too get headache when I'm stressed. And Yes I always enjoy viewing the farm animals :-) But most of all I enjoy listening to your commentaries and viewing your painting projects. Thank you very much for sharing .

[@kimmom7785]

I am so happy that your headache seems to have resolve. Our bodies will not ignore our problems. Thank you for sharing your flock with us.

[@nancyloomis3046]

[@marcialoofboro306]

I love the sound of your chickens!

[@dreamalamb4259]

Havent messed too much with this type of art. But, I REALLY LIKE this one. I'm convinced now to give it another try. Thank you AGAIN, Miss D.😊

[@TeriKozeluh]

I love this! Adding the calligraphy really made it special! Thank you, Diane, for a relaxing video today.❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lyncanale4628]

it is a perfectly lovely piece of art.

[@deannadent8111]

Love the chooks barn. My favourite part of the day has always been letting my girls out the morning too. There is nothing like watching chooks scratch around the backyard

[@pinkiehunter8443]

Diane thank you for your content & allowing us into your life in such an authentic personal way & showing us how to have fun & success with watercolors. Please stay just the way you are. Satan is on a rampage & is weaseling into parts of everyone’s lives. Stay strong & keep painting (esp blobby birds) you are a part of my therapy I look forward to seeing your videos!!!🤗🫶🖼️🖌️

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much for your comments and support. I know what you mean and I do feel that very much we are under attack. I will keep painting and sharing and wishing everyone well. Thank you for being here!

[@karencarlson1693]

Fun painting! I'm glad your headache is getting better.

[@maryannciarlo5550]

Loved this! So glad you are feeling better

[@angb1923]

I loved the one you took off AND I loved this one. Thank you so much for the video. I love doing stuff like this. Gonna try yours.

[@Ann-ey1tw]

This is a great lesson and many of us probably need a way to calm down our nerves. I love that You don’t remember the rules, I’m doing that more and more each day. Your farm tour was beautiful! Thanks so much!

[@Sandy.4875]

I love chickens!

[@Patriciamurphygq8hl]

I really enjoyed this video on neurographic art! I have done several with markers and colored pencils, I will definitely be trying this with paint. I hope that your headache stays away, I am 66 and have had migraines since I was 9, they’re awful! I love your studio, very jealous here. Be well, and keep doing what you like doing💜

[@gloriamoline678]

4 degrees F here this morning but 23 by afternoon & no wind. Had a nice walk with Doug. Like the chickens & yard! Keep doing what you do. Appreciated.

[@MelissaGonzalez-qw7jx]

Thankyou for sharing a bit about your life and showing us your lovely animals. It looks like you have a beautiful home.

[@mariaml.a791]

❤I love what you do

[@debbieakers1967]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Sundies_Art]

Great therapy, I am in need of this for sure as I feel many are. And I love the quote you shared, I feel the same way. I have a cat for now that will have to do, apartment living is no place for a dog from my opinion. Bless you dear and please stay well.

[@shirleygreaves9650]

You live in such a lovely place, your chickens are really sweet and I loved the art too. X

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much 😊

[@barbarabrown6002]

Love this visit to your wonderful home and farm.. Would love to see same in the Spring, Summer, And Fall. ❤️🐓🐔

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much, Barbara! I’m looking forward to sharing updates on things as the seasons progress this year! Thanks so much for your support❤️

[@nancyloomis3046]

Diane, so sorry to hear about your headaches...they're the worst! I don't have as many as I did at one time in my life...I live in the US and sinus & allergies were especially bad (& some migraines too) when i lived in Florida...so hot, humid, moldy, buggy. I was able to move to Maryland in 2009...much further north and sinus & allergies aren't so bad here. I still get some sinus & allergy-related headaches, & stress headaches & even mild migraines on occasion, but it's not near as bad as when I lived in Florida! Climate can play a big part in our health! And now at 68, being way past menopause...I think that has helped too. I hope you get some long-term relief soon!

[@darlalea1]

Love it thank you

[@glennmorrison7595]

So glad your headaches better. I've doodled, my version of neurography, since I was 17 years old. I'm about your age. I love to listen to audio books while I draw or paint. Did you know they're free on KZbin? Love your chickens and dogs. I have parrots and a Yorkie. Dawn from Alabama USA

[@sylvialamagna4490]

Hope you are feeling well and oh my gosh these paintings were still very beautiful. Your creativity shines thru and what a delight they are Diane. Where did you get all those metalic golds and bronze paints they are so pretty.

[@lindas5412]

Love this, it reminds me of a crazy quilt!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks, Linda!

[@lizthomas6347]

Most enjoyable, I have tried neurographic art in the past, always fun to see a different take on it. Will give this style a go. The walk to the chickens was lovely.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much, Liz! Glad you enjoyed it and hope you have fun with the neurographic art!

[@nancyloomis3046]

I have done what could be called neurographical drawing (or something similar) for years, but I just did it on my own and called it my doodling. I also did Zen Doodling for a while. It's all very relaxing. For me, very often the art of it all that I was putting on paper would start looking like something that I really liked (because I did more shapes snd line variations. I'd start derwin a design that I really liked and I'd get more purposeful With what I was doing. I understand, if you really need to relax and be mindful with what you're doing at that moment, then getting more purposeful about what you're doing may undo the mindful relaxation benefit of it all. (or should it be called "mindlessness" instead of mindfulness?) 😊

[@windywednesday4166]

❤😊 Very nice take on this process! I did a series of this a couple years ago. On one I tried an abstract technique to underline the squiggles, I was very pleased with the result. I might have to give it another go. ❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Sounds great! Hope you have fun - it’s always interesting to see what comes out at the end!

[@windywednesday4166]

@DianeAntoneStudio Yes! I have the same problem you did with busy thoughts entering my head... So, on the next one, I scribbled them out in the 'nero-art' tangle thread. The happy ones, the frustrated ones, the closet I need to clean out, the paperwork I need to sort and organize ...all the bits and pieces of my life that were bugging me, went into the thread! As I was rounding the corners, all the secondary images in the piece started coming out! It was amazing! It was like a hidden puzzle where the solutions to my frustrations were there for me to find. ❤️ Good luck, and I'm glad you found a solution for the headaches. It's easy to get depleted in the wintertime! I take something called Emergen-C. It's got magnesium and all the electrolytes in it. You put it in water, and it tastes like punch. 👍

[@lyncanale4628]

I love this style. Thanks or this. I'm going to try and copy this. More or less of course. It would never be exactly the same would it?

[@pinkiehunter8443]

I really like this. I may try something similar & use some salt to create extra texture in the painted areas.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Yes, that’s a good idea. Salt would definitely add to the texture, especially if you use cold pressed paper.

[@LindaMW]

I believe if on do not disturb if caller phones 3 times it can bypass the setting. Thank you. Interesting work.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

That’s interesting, Linda. I think if I put it on aeroplane setting it will not allow people through, but we will have to see. I’m going to try that next time I’m filming thanks for your support.❤️

[@MelissaGonzalez-qw7jx]

Is there anywhere we can share our results with you? X

[@Ann-ey1tw]

This is a great lesson and many of us probably need a way to calm down our nerves. I love that You don’t remember the rules, I’m doing that more and more each day. Your farm tour was beautiful! Thanks so much!
