Why not try WATERCOLOR?? There’s no better way to spend time than creating something for your soul.

[@vickiescott2243]

You are just right. Don't change anything. I enjoy all your videos.

[@cherylweaver5129]

Always someone complaining. I think you are perfect. 😊

[@shepherd4406]

Charming and delightful.

[@libellula3313]

If someone thinks you are too slow THEY can speed you up in Settings. You are just right to me, very relaxing.

[@CajunSunshineCrafts]

Diane, I have to tell you how much of an influence you have been for me this year. I lost my husband on February 7th of this year. It has been a very rough long year. Your videos have helped me more than you can ever imagine. Your tutorials, you're rambling on, hearing about Townsend and just off-topic conversations and ranting! I have been through it all with you, and I loved it. I have laughed with you, cried over you, and fell asleep on you in the course over a nighttime (trying to sleep) session. Nights are especially hard for me, and you are always there. You are a very intelligent person who is not afraid to step up when you know you're right! And I love you for that. You are your truly authentic self! Don't let them negative Nellie's get you down. You will never please all of the people all of the time, and if you attempt it, you will drive yourself batty! Just keep your beautiful ways, and you will be fine. I am looking forward to following you through next year. Please Diane you, Townsend and hubby have a very productive prosperous New Year! I know how hard it is to do videos on YT check out Cajun Sunshine Crafts YT channel from a few years ago. I use to do videos as well. No listen, Thank You for doing everything that you do for the ones that really care. Crescent bumble bees and on and on Thank you and God bless. You have really helped me not to cause sucide this year! Love you! ❤❤❤

Hi Pat and thanks so much for your message. I always wake up around 3 am for a bathroom visit and inevitably I check my messages and found you had just posted yours. I’m so sorry to hear about your awful loss this year. To know that I have been of some comfort to you in the long nights that you have struggled through means also, believe me, a huge amount to me. Since I started the channel I know from what many people have said how much the work Tamsin and I do has helped in dark moments. I truly believe that I was given this task by powers unseen. I think you have probably gathered from the things I say in the videos that there seems to be a purpose. When I hear from folk like you, I am supported and encouraged in something which is at times are very hard for me to do. I think I’ve said it all in the course of my videos. Given the support of my daughter, the presence of my husband and the grace of God we will continue as long as we possibly can. I send you my prayers and love and a hug, and look forward to next year when I hope you feel a little better and recover some of your life‘s joy. I won’t let any negative Nellys get me down all the time there are people out there like you needing me. Please keep in touch. If you ever want to share anything with me privately, please know that you can email me on my address [e-mail]. Again, love and take care and look after yourself. Many people love and need you. Diane xxx

[@cathygraetz7229]

Diane, I so enjoyed watching you create this landscape - your conjuring of the craggy mountains had me mesmerized! Special thanks for continuing to post over the holidays - the many appreciative comments bear testimony to how many people turn to your channel for comfort and companionship, as well as watercolour teaching. Your channel is truly unique in this! I wish you and your family a healthy and fulfilling 2025.

[@daydreambeliever6603]

This is so cool. Thank you for giving us your time and talent very generously. It really irks me (i suppose that is the object) when small and powerless people come onto content creators sites and complain about anything. The gall!!

[@janetrusterucci3232]

You are doing great at the pace you do. No need to change

[@Sundies_Art]

Thank you for taking the time to show us this process. No snow in WA state here in the US. That is okay though, it is plenty cold. I really enjoyed watching this and please don't listen to all the nay sayers, nothing would ever make them happy. Best to you.

[@LindaMW]

Thanks! I really appreciate your more in depth landscapes. I always learn so much. 😊

[@patriciahorelick6450]

It’s so good you checked on the artist and found out he is alive and painting!!

[@carolparenaude9542]

Oh Diane I am so in awe of how much you are able to share. I love your walks through the sheep. I look forward to your videos. Many blessings for the season. 🩷

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much! Happy new year ❤️

[@carolyndaughton3373]

I love this happy painting! It would be the perfect painting to frame for the winter decorations. This tutorial was perfect in every way. Thank you, Diane.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you Carolyn, so glad you enjoyed it! It was a real fun one to do! I thought it was particularly appropriate for boxing day because traditionally in England people go out to play in the snow. That’s what it says in all the books anyway! I’m sure I’ll see you before New Year, but wishing you a happy new one anyway!

[@lynnej7219]

No way could I run a youtube channel. Some of the comments would send my blood pressure through the roof. Just as well we cannot send an electric shock over the internet, there would be bodies everywhere 😂. Your style is the reason I watch you, a gentle pace, musings on life, and lovely paintings. Wonderful ❤.

[@heatherstaskevicius33]

dontvworry about what people say...do you as you is great. I love your tutorials

[@ldlcreationsllc]

Please continue being the way you are. I love being able to follow and understand why you do the thing you do! Thank you!❤

[@sandyjee4535]

Quite agree with the last comment, it’s much better to watch you going nice and steady than rushing through it, life is fast enough as it is. I love your commentary and banter.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much! Happy new year!❤️

[@TeriKozeluh]

I watched yesterday and you didn’t seem slow to me! Maybe the person had a difficult Christmas. This is a cute picture! Love the dog!❤

[@monicawalsh7887]

What a lovely,cosy painting.The mountains are a revelation- so effective.More landscapes please .Thank you,Diane

[@amandaterrio4823]

This is one of my favorite paintings. Those mountains are gorgeous. This is why I subscribe and am a member

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@suzannesaulnier4042]

You are perfect! Just the way you are….love your pace and how you explain everything and throw in a bit of humor. ❤️

[@jacquelinegutkin1912]

Diane, I hope you know that we all love the way you teach, and the speed at which you go about explaining things!😊

[@carolynmaccord3635]

My daughter and I enjoy watching and painting with you. If it was speeded up we would have trouble painting along. Happy Christmas and boxing day!

[@mrsshorty261]

I’ll be honest I come to listen to you as much as watch your tutorials …so please continue chatting away 👍🏻👏🏻

[@ullabonderup]

Thank you for a wonderful video and a beautiful painting. It’s a real Christmas treat!

[@doryartdesigns]

I guess that person hasn’t discovered one can Fast Forward if they like lol 😂

Ah, the bliss of ignorance!! Happy new year!

[@conniemesce4093]

Very cute scene with the skaters and lady walking her dog! ❤

[@suewoulfe3904]

Thanks

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much Sue!

[@dreamalamb4259]

How wonderfully playful. Good job, Miss Diane 😊

[@AmberMarieArtStudio]

I swear, some people are such jackasses. It's a tutorial for crying out loud. We aren't here to see speed painting; we are here to learn. Thank you for teaching us!

[@donnavaliante7089]

Diane, just as you mentioned about not being able to believe everything on the Internet and do you due diligence in researching...the same is true for your viewers. I love how you explain things. You are not to slow. If they are not satisfied with your presentation, they can either speed up or ...! Some people are beginners and others may be experienced in the medium if watercolor and looking to enhance their skill or new techniques. We all can learn from each other. Continue to share your skills. Bless you with good health, happy memory making and continuing success with your channel in 2025!! Donna from Delaware in the USA.

[@juneknolwes1402]

Diane, love your tutorials…..you are amazing at what you do. You are certainly not slow…. There has always got to be the one. You are easy to follow and techniques excellent.

[@karencarlson1693]

This is a charming scene! There's a lot of detail and a lot of technique here.

[@patriciahorelick6450]

This is such a sweet painting!!

[@37homecrafts]

I love watching you paint and love this one! Thank you and Happy new year. ❤️👍

[@pjpony1234]

You take your time. I like your longer, chatty videos.

[@dianemyers250]

I love the sock idea!

[@debbietrotter8857]

Perfect speed of presentation. Thank you

[@melodycrites3145]

Wonderful peaks on those mountains.

[@kiriki737]

Your Painting is so cute, amazing colors mixing... Happy Holidays !!!

[@matthewhayes5891]

This is a nice fun piece,enjoyed watching this.

[@warisathanghom-du9gn]

So adorable ❤

[@cindymattingley5839]

I love the mountains!

[@kzbaby2002]

This is delightful

[@charbipes-kuechle7521]

Lovely ❤ - happy holidays - thanks for sharing!

[@tamaraflansaas5562]

Diane, I enjoy yo so much!! I think you should do YOU! Stay true to yourself, you are a kind, considerate and thoughtful always being honest and considering of everyone. Just don’t let anyone get you down. I appreciate your content and your hard work. I am learning things from you, even though I don’t draw well I am improving. I am trying to learn to draw, you make it look so easy. But it isn’t. I like the explanation on this landscape. I like more detail on shadows how to determine where they come from. Again, thank you and daughter for your time and your channel. I recommend you to everyone who has interest in art. ❤

[@Ann-ey1tw]

Very clever scene, I love this! I enjoy your slow, conversational dialogue. It calms me down and I think of you as a friend! Ignore the complaints!

[@patriciahorelick6450]

Don’t change a thing Diane!!

[@ShellasFaith]

Hi Diane, this is absolutely beautiful and so much fun, I throughly enjoyed this video!! Happy New Year!!🎉

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much, so glad you’ve enjoyed it! Happy New Year to you too!

[@mickeyannie5606]

What??? I love it when you go slow. Yes indeed. Keep going slow please. Thank you.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks! Yes, I’m not capable of going any faster! Maybe they would have preferred that I didn’t speak at the same time as paint. And we don’t do jump cuts either…

[@veronicasamantha13]

If they need you to go faster, they can increase their playback speed. That simple. What's the controversy about Kuretake paints? I like them very much! Keep being you, Diane. It's what I love about you and your art!

[@juditszepessy8936]

Thank you so much for this long tutorial!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

You are so welcome!

[@sandraharris8386]

Thank you Diane, as you probably know, I found your channel early in my watercolour journey and return to it again and again. Your voice and your pace are very relaxing to me. Not to mention your deadpan asides which often give me a little smile. You are doing a wonderful job just being yourself, and the odd (very odd ) person who feels it necessary to find fault with that can, as we say in Australia, just “b**ger off” and head to a zippier channel that edits out much of the process. Anyway, back to our regular programming 😂. Your clear, simple, enjoyable tutorials have added immensely to my confidence and I am now even selling bookmarks of little multicoloured birds inspired by you, in a local bookshop.

[@lynneharrison6523]

I watch lots of you tubes by different people on different subjects. Everyone has their own style and works at their own speed. If they’re too slow I speed them up, if they’re so slow that it annoys me then I stop following them! I think your pace is just right. It’s not as if painting is a quick hobby!

[@lindajohns7332]

Hi Diane sorry to have bothered you as I have worked it out and now downloaded your sketches. Thank you. Linda (Ex Essex now Sydney) Really enjoy your work.

[@carolynmaccord3635]

Wonderful! I will give this a try but with a pair of skiers and a black and white dog chasing them in the foreground. Glad to hear about Mr Bellamy's remarkable recovery! Thank you

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Yes, I expect he’s relieved to know it!

[@juditszepessy8936]

What a lovely scene with such positive vibes! Reminds me of a Brueghel painting. ❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

I always loved Brueghel!!

[@karylebyrd1764]

You just continue to go slow. I have learned so much. How do you dry your brushes. I’ve seen people say to dry and store them upside down.

[@cynthiadiamond5942]

That's idiotic. Haters are an abomination. Your videos are perfectly paced, amazing and so very helpful. Water off a duck!!

[@pjpony1234]

I got my David Bellamy book yesterday. I love it! It was used and belonged to a girl in Wales. Couldn't pronounce the town or her last name. Charming! I miss the UK.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Oh, how sweet! I hope you enjoy it. It’s got lots of ‘meat’ inside!

[@rebeccapatterson649]

I’m swatching my Meeden 96 color set while listening along - they are gorgeous! I have been absent for awhile - deep cleaning (windows/closests…) children, business, family,…. I feel scared for some reason to pick up the brush - strange, but here goes! Love your videos!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Welcome back! So glad you’re back to the brushes!!!

[@joaneverett2678]

Don’t speed up, your videos are so good as they are and help me - a beginner.

[@SalyAnnsArt]

Thank you for sharing in a timely manner. No need to speed it up. 😊

[@dragonfly7335]

That was a wonderful guide for a winter wonderland! You said this was a Christmas present for yourself, but it felt like a Christmas gift for us! 😂 If you were going to paint something for yourself (and not just for public consumption,) what would you paint?

[@jeaniemiller1929]

Hi Diane! Oh how I do love this painting!!! The mountains are so beautiful and the snow too. There has always got to be somebody making negative comments...wish they wouldn't do that because I know how hard you work, and I don't think there is a thing wrong with your videos! I love them! So there too!😊❤❤❤❄

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much! I’m sure we could be better, slicker, but who wants that nowadays??Thanks for your support!

[@lorenoakes3934]

have you ever used their paint brand?

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Ah, yes, often. It’s very good quality for the price can’t be beaten really. Use DIANE15 at the checkout on meedenart.com to get an extra 15% discount.

[@lindajohns7332]

Hi Diane I have paid for 2 sketches but I dont know how to access them. Thank you Linda Johns

[@lorenoakes3934]

You are just right speed, if you don’t like the speed move on.

[@lorenoakes3934]

I should have said MEEDEN paint

[@LindaMW]

Hi D. Very fun. I paid the $10 sketch fee a month or so ago and I am Patreon member. When i went to get sketch I needed to pay $1 . I am sorry how do you work it when you have paid the $10 sketch fee. I have only used the $10 access for 1 sketch thus far. Thank you

[@daisyfieldparrks9320]

It's 2024, do people realize they can fast forward!!!!

[@juliereformer883]

Please don't speed up! I love your style - both painting and video styles! The sped up videos make me dizzy.😀

[@lperezpal]

Thank you for not speeding.

[@sharonromer6606]

I speed up the video if I'm bothered by the artists lack of speed🙋‍♀️🇺🇸

[@YodaMama777]

I think most KZbinrs go too fast. It’s not realistic. They skip showing things. I want to see all of it.
