3hrs of WATERCOLOR TUTORIALS- relax and enjoy no-draw painting with me

[@brendameeks6013]

I love when you do long paint sessions. I enjoy your stories and listening to the animals and birds outside your home, as well as your fur babies indoors. The fur babies indoors just want to be close to you. They enjoy the peacefulness of the atmosphere you surround them with as well as being close to you. I do the same at my house. My fur babies just enjoy being close to me while I paint. I have a lot of birds on my property. I'm a birder, so I love listening to the birds sing as well as listening to any new bird visitors who may be passing through. Listening to nature while painting brings me so much peace. Thank you for your videos. I truly enjoy what you surround yourself with while you paint.

[@adridutoit4642]

I also enjoy the farmly nature atmosphere!!❤

Hi Diane, I love your teaching method and long sessions. Thank you so much for all of your time in preparing and in sharing your talents. I am a Calligrapher and share what I know about the double nib. Actually the bottom tip is what you write with and the top piece is intended to hold the ink supply for the nib. Hope this makes sense to you. I find it very interesting that you are so creative with dip pens and love to see you use them.Sincerely, Judy Henshaw, Pinehurst, NC, USA

[@susanturner139]

My husband looked over my shoulder while I was watching this lesson. He loved the abstract! I think I will paint him one!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Wonderful!

[@KelliLang]

I absolutely love these long videos. I love watercolor but even more important, I do not feel so alone when working from home alone.

[@MonikaBehr]

I'm so glad you released this today. My husband and I are both miserable with a heavy cold (not the plague.) It means I've no energy for anything but really crave distraction from the pain in my throat and the pressure in my ear. Thank you sharing your process.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

I know that feeling. I hope you both get better soon - colds can be very unpleasant and are nothing to laugh off, although people are always happy to share them! Get well soon xxxx

[@LindaKing-nq6ut]

These are great..when we aren’t sure what to paint/create this type of painting is an enjoyable way to inspire us 🙂

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much 😊

[@RuthellenHerzberg]

I often do a “blind doodle” with pen and then begin adding texture in some of the spaces. Some of my most interesting paintings.

[@youtubelibrary_10]

Thank you Diane for talking about your experiences about the corruption and the way things are changing. We want our elders like you to speak up because it will inspire youngsters. We have been trained to shut up and take the crap that is being dished out to us and this is the reason why corruption has spread ALL AROUND the world. If it weren't for my parents and my grandparents who told me to build a real community of friends and family and question authority, I would have been isolated and alone in this generation of social media and aritificial intelligence. Thanks to people around the world who come together and demand changes to improve the lives of common people. 55:04 - was my fav painting of this episode.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment!

[@ArtorLifeTorB]

Beautiful technique 👏amazing painting 🎨👋🥰👏👏👏👍

[@KathyButkus]

Doing these videos is a great way to experiment with colors and brushes. It’s fun and exciting.

[@elizabethstrouth4958]

I like the way this one turned out with the gold paint and white marker at the end.

[@marielouisedavidson4834]

Love this! Look forward to all your tutorials! Fabulous! Thank you!

[@sherrylee6719]

Just bought these paints. Can't decide what I think about them. I must work with them more.

[@connied8507]

The plaster on your finger story reminded me of a time my mother got too close to a room heater after a bath. We called her waffle butt for a while afterwards.

[@ChantelleArts]

This is gorgeous, such a relaxing video ☺☺

[@daydreambeliever6603]

I love the close up shots when you are working. ❤❤❤

[@connied8507]

Paul Reuben paints are very nice. I'm looking forward to the next video too.

[@maryannebaker4314]

I love that you use Kuretaki paints. I have two sets and it’s all I use. I have some cheaper ones but no comparison.

[@debterry1007]

I do love these long painting sessions.. i love to turn one on and play in my craftroom /studio and just having your voice in the background to keep me company... Thank you Diane! Ofcourse i love all your other videos too.. Hugs! deb

Snow shovel here is like water need it often. Just got a other foot and -4 degrees. So much for the lie of global warming😊

[@sharondoan1447]

😂 I totally agree that global warming has gotten quite cold.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Climate change is more appropriate - it seems different here from 20 years ago to me…

[@sharondoan1447]

@@DianeAntoneStudio When I lived in Plymouth, Michigan an old gentleman told me about the heavy snows that stayed on the ground all winter. He related how the wind caused the snow to drift up higher than the windows when he was a boy. Our winters were nothing to compare. Weather changes. Always has, always will. Sometimes we benefit, sometimes we are overwhelmed.

[@Pixieworksstudio]

Oh tell me about it - I'm running out of things to eat at the moment! What a lovely, relaxing video, thank you. The colours are fabulous! I'm going to get some silver and gold pens now and crack on with a bit of freestyle as well.

[@sharonreyes1834]

#replay. First time watching. Enjoyed this tutorial immensely!

[@juditszepessy8936]

Beautiful compositions! I love to see the Kuretake colours again! 😊

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you very much!

[@teresaohehir7336]

This is lovely,Diane,, lengthy, you have such patience

[@roslyncoward3222]

Inspired by you, I received some Kuretake paints for Christmas and wow they are great! I love them, thank you Diane.

[@sherrimynhier7851]

You out did yourself with this series it was great❤❤❤❤

Thanks so much Sherri!

i am totally surprised how miine turned out .... definitely unique in itself thank you

I love all the colors! Enjoy watching you paint, so relaxing. ❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@barbaraschwartz2148]

I loved them all was only able to try 2 of them. I am getting more confident and it is very soothing listening to your voice whilst creating.

[@virginiamckenzie6799]

I love your long videos as well as your one-offs. I enjoy your informal visiting while you paint, it's like you are in my studio with me❤

[@linden211]

Love these long videos. Thank you 😊

[@eileenboffo6300]

Understand exactly what you mean about the medical profession & allergies! I've got a shellfish allergy. Also chronic illness is treated a bit like that too! 🙄 look forward to seeing the Paul Rubens swatched

[@Babyjohn8170]

I enjoy using and watching you work with Kuratake paint. You create wonderful art work using them. 😊👍

[@nanalousalisbury102]

These colors are beautiful together!

[@sheilajurnak]

I so enjoyed your abstract and chat. I know this is not real recent, but I can't wait to emulate you. Thank you. You brought me laughter this evening. Hoping all is well in your world ... sheep, Zen, the hubby, studio , home and field. Poets so.etimes use that collage method, too. And copy each other-- first lines are considered a good place to start. ❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much! So glad you are enjoying the compilations x

[@lealea12368]

I really enjoy these non rushed, relaxing, long painting videos. I really enjoy all of your content and have for quite some time. Thank you for taking the time to spoil us; from set up to recording your painting and any editing that you may do. It is all gifted to us kindly and generously.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you very much - you are right, it does take quite some time!

[@valeriecarter5475]

I am learning so much from these longer videos. Also more about you too which I count a bonus :-) to hear about the life journey of others especially a wonderful artist like you! This morning, I painted the pansies which I tried to copy your style which I drew myself - thank you. At this moment, I am waiting for my paint to dry from the line exercise with the browns, blacks and oranges and your favorite gold touches. Looking forward together in this new year! Blessings

[@anneedmunds9025]

I like your art because it let's me relax in front telly and do my own thing.

[@tacywest8842]

Distance does not make this sharing less personal so i like you o talk to me. Yes they are the wheel of life. The triskle s life and circle of life. Very celtic

[@tacywest8842]

I enjoy your sharing and dialog with the painting. Medical here is thin on the ground and over sixty they send you off with a bill but no treatment. Organic caster oil works wonders have him massage it on his feet every night for six weeks

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks Tacy I appreciate that advice and I will definitely give it a try!

[@amyfox_in_sox]

Just found your lovely podcast. Beautiful Gingersnap sock set. I would use for the Three by the Sea Serene socks.

[@sarastewart2035]

So relaxing to watch you paint when I am really wanting to go over to my paints and play along with you.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much 😀

[@rob00102]

How do you come up with such wonderful ideas! Your videos are so interesting and so very helpful ❤❤ Helenx

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Glad you like them!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

So glad!

I love the abstract painting you did around 1:50:00! Lovely color palette! It looks like fall to me, and reminds me of one of my nieces in law because she has brown eyes and wears a lot of these colors.

Diane while im following the video im painting. I enjoin a lot. For the firts time im using the Kuretake watercolor. What a diference from other watercolor paintings. The pigmet is amazing and beutiful. Im learning to use it. Thank you for teaching us. Im learning and is helping my creativity to flow.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Yes, it’s very good to paint with, more powerful but also sensitive. Glad you’re enjoying it!

[@virginiamckenzie6799]

I read every Bobbsey (sp?) Twins book. I loved them, I’m glad to hear someone else remembers them.

Hi Diane, I am able to get Daley Rowney locally here in the states. I spent approximately 8 hours at my painting table today. I am trying to paint a rose and I did not give up. I did better with the circles I must say. I was quite pleased with myself putting down the circles ,blotting the color up, spattering and then putting down leaves. I so enjoy your videos and after a year or so, I am getting the hang of intuitivley mixing colors, which I enjoy so much. Thanks Diane. Let me know if I can get you a Daley Rowney color that you crave.

[@amyovard4817]

Fun fun fun!!! Love these ideas!! I have to say, I just got my Diane Antoine craftamo brushes, today, and I laughed out loud because they are HUGE compared to the brushes I have and use regularly.🤭 Let’s just say… it will be… interesting trying them out. Gonna have to pull out my bigger sheets of paper.😁💖

[@gulliblestravels784]

Haha funny how you mentioned the banana thingy, I literally was watching thinking I keep seeing banana shapes. So I literally guess your piece was inspired by bananas your love of them and perhaps missing them due to your allergy. The abstract allergy painting. I love it. Also I learnt about the romanticism and pre Raphaelite brotherhood in college and worked in a little theatre in Merton abbey mills where the William Morris pub was named after the artist they all worked together and followed the same movements in those times too. Painting romantic images and forming an art movement together along the river wandle. It's fascinating. Lovely work as always Diane. You have beautiful colour use I love it :)

[@esmed779]

I just received the same Kuretake paint set. I absolutely love the colours you used…. My colours. I’m looking forward to following along and see what happens 😊

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@susanturner139]

I keep seeing things in your design… From snakes to birds to eyeballs! So fun to see them appear and disappear!

[@angb1923]

Hi! New subscriber here! I really enjoyed this long video. Love the art you create! You inspire me. I really love the one with gold and then the next one after that with pink and brown!! ...I hope your husband is able to see a doc in Cairo!

[@lynneellis2647]

I won't take my Christmas down before Epiphany, aka three kings day which is January 6th. My mom always left the decor up until after my birthday, January 10th, so I do that too. The lights make me happy. For some, the Christmas season can extend to Candalmas, February 2nd.

[@susanmessenger9052]

Love the tutorial. And chat. Come to Australia with your allergies. We will believe you and treat you kindly. Especially South Australia. Asthma capital of the world. Hay fever capital...from a fellow Banana Sensitive Person.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

That’s very interesting. I wouldn’t have expected Australia to be allergy prone so there you go!

[@ApBarr345]

Love your ideas. Will have to try this! About your husbands doctor appt, that is really outrageous! Do you have like an urgent care where you are? Its not like emergency room but yoh can walk in. That's what the doctor here recommends since they can't see people

[@drukendall9456]

Love this, what make are the paints you are using please. They look fab. ❤

[@patriciahorelick6450]

Oooh, I d be in trouble in England if I needed medical help!! I’m not only quire sensitive to several foods but truly allergic to many chemicals. One example is during a surgery I went in hearing in both ears and came out with strange hearing. A couple of days later I realized if I put an ear bud in my right ear I could hear absolutely nothing. Turns out I had an ototoxic response to the anesthesia or that and a combination with another drug used in surgery. Six years later still stone deaf in the right ear!

[@sharondoan1447]

I am sorry of your troubles. It must be rather scary to submit to medical care after that experience.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Oh that’s horrible Patricia. I know exactly what you mean having had medical intervention that nearly killed me!

[@existence39]

[@CrystalMartinArt]

I sat n was listening while painting bc ur my favorite to listen to and I thought, I remember this story. Then the story of your husband, I remembered it also, I couldnt understand! How do I know this story!? this was posted 5 days ago ? .. 😂 and then I realized what you've done 😂

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

LOL!

Can you share which grey brushpen you’re using in the first painting? It seems to have waterproof ink. Thank you, this is very inspiring ❤

[@LindaDimond]

In Australia. Hi can you pls tell me the name of the 5 well palette you use space short that’s perfect. I’m in recovery I am setting myself back up to do art. I love your work and chat. You kept me focused after 2 years I’ve bought most brushes paints kuretake Paul Reuben books reference thank you. And am wanting to do this as my start point. Bless you for your words say things as they are Love from down under Linda

[@amandaterrio4823]

Again tonight I tried to put this on to go to sleep but I just have to watch and can’t sleep. Tomorrow I will put this on a go to my art room. I haven’t been in there for about a week because I’ve been feeling so exhausted all the time. Tomorrow I’m forcing myself in there.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Please do! You will feel energised once you get a brush in your hand!

What are the pan watercolors ???

They are Kuretake 48 set Kuretake Gansai Tambi 48 Color Set amzn.to/3zZX8Kn

[@gramcracker2023]

Is Kuratame the correct spelling for these paints?

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

It’s Kuretake so very close!

[@sherrylee6719]

Allergies are very real and US docs asks about allergies first thing. My son has a life-threatening food allergy to all nuts. His throat closes up and his face swells so that he is unrecognizable. He carries an eip pen with him at all times and must be taken by ambulance if he is exposed. We take allergies very seriously here. No cats or dogs in our house either.

[@ramsdenanna6794]

I’m allergic to melon and had skin tests, then they tried to convince me I’m not allergic to it. So I stupidly went home and ate melon whereupon my throat reacted and I had a sore throat for three weeks.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Oh my God, I know the feeling! I have never bothered to have the skin tests because I’m sure they’ll tell me I’m not allergic, but after having ended up in emergency as a result of eating bananas I have no doubt about it! Are you in England? I know over there they don’t actually believe in allergies!LOL

[@ramsdenanna6794]

[@agneshosni4787]

You have histamines sensitivity . Regular docs don’t know how o treat or recognise the issue . Who does? Second issue . Magn soul is a major starting point as deficiency . Standard bloods tend not to show this as they do the wrong tests for msny issues . Personally , because it’s helped in be past, but it needs a great therapist for us sensitives , is Traditional Chinese Medicine. Functional medicine . Truly , it’s about finding an aware doc

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Yes, I know, and unexpected histamine reactions catch me out often. Unfortunately where I live there are no Chinese doctors. I do have experience of a great Chinese doctor, about 30 years ago in Calgary AB I was going through an early menopause and he helped me with acupuncture and dong quai. Sadly the medical world of France is paleolithic.

[@sharondoan1447]

Please, do feel perfectly free to talk about a variety of topics while you paint. There is only so much one can say about the project, techniques, supplies.
