NO SKILL NEEDED to paint this! - take your mind off your worries for an hour or two

[@Jude628]

People are cruel, that’s why I love being home with my animals and art supplies lol. I love your videos and have learned an incredible amount from you - thank you Diane!

[@carolbreyer7460]

My feelings exactly!

[@windywednesday4166]

Right?! Who makes comments like that... on an art video?! SMH, good riddance. ❤😂

[@julieketchum9551]

Some people just have EXTREMELY TALENTED Grandchildren. 🤪 Don't let it get to you. I for one, love your pieces & learn a lot from watching.

[@yovamccoy2806]

Thank you for your book recommendation. You created a lovely piece.

[@ricksmith4383]

My name is Pam and yes, shame on them. I love the tutorials!!

[@barbaracowan8611]

Diane....I think you are wonderful and full of talent. Don't stop teaching us...we have too much to learn from YOU.

[@eithnecourtney4854]

Totally agree you are wonderful Diane and thank you so much for bringing such joy to people with your tutorials ❤

[@carfriday827]

I was raised with the wise saying, “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” Love your art!

[@lindawetzel-e5z]

You are not in this world to meet anyone else’s expectations. God gave you a wonderful talent and your true followers are very pleased that we found your channel. Keep on sharing and teaching us what your experience has taught you ❤️👍

[@lisamccort6777]

I enjoy your videos they are informative for the painting tips, tools, your sense of humor is wonderful. I come here to escape this crazy world of chaos to enjoy painting, learning something new which I always do and just to relax. Thank you always for all the work you do to make these videos Diane.

[@suzanneboschen7427]

Don’t worry about criticism from someone who is obviously very unhappy about her life. You’re great!

[@joycesuppes691]

You tell them, Diane! Love your videos.

[@karenirving7088]

I’d be so proud if I could paint like you

[@windywednesday4166]

Right? Me too! Those Roses were really beautiful. ❤

[@janerusch7820]

Lovely timing. I bought the Abstract book just last week. Watching you is encouraging and inspiring

[@jeaniemiller1929]

I will never understand deliberate rudeness!!! With the world the way it is now, common sense should tell us all, as humans, that the world is in need of kindness and peacefulness...NOT more rudeness! But meanness and cruelty still rages on in places! However, I have to believe there are more kind and good people than the cruel rude ones. You are one of those kind and good people, Diane, don't let the rudeness get you down! So many people enjoy your videos and your wonderful painting talent, and your ideas, and hearing you talk. You are a comfort to so many of us. 🥰

[@lindawetzel-e5z]

@@jeaniemiller1929 I agree wholeheartedly! If we all followed the 8th commandment and did not slander our neighbors the world would be a kinder, more loving place.

[@Clive-MBfan]

I loved the way you told the hater off, it was so condescending (perfect response). Everyone I follow on KZbin has haters at the moment, it seems currently that it is the way of things that idiots think others care about what they have to say, however puerile those opinions are. I paint to enjoy myself, not to seek the approval of others, I’m sure you are the same. BTW I love the way you paint!

[@heatherstaskevicius33]

some people are so rude. i love watching your videos they are so imformative and fun.and i find you so calming. soooooo thank you very much

I’m glad you are showing this book because I looked at it on Amazon but wasn’t sure to buy it,but now I will!❤Thank you Diane

[@CindySasek]

Please don't let that negativity get you down Diane, there's SO many of us who enjoy and admire your work and really appreciate you helping us to improve our skills. Your art inspires me ❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks Cindy, I won’t!!

[@gloriamoline678]

Don't care what or how you paint. Just love listening to you & helpful suggestions. My grandmother's people were wealthy by early American standards and seemed to carry over their English accents. So your voice is familiar & comforting.

[@Brenda-lp5vr]

Ignore rude people your great your like a friend and natural and your my inspiration to carry on with painting as my relaxing space thank you for all you do ❤

[@gillie6664]

I've actually bought this book, and I love it. It was so nice to watch you painting from it with your little twists of personality. Some people are only happy when they're being horrible, I just can't understand why . I really enjoy your videos Diane.

[@eileenboffo6300]

Good for you! Laugh it off & delete the pathetic 'critics' !!!🙄

[@miogi0072]

Agreed about the weather. I live in Washington State and this morning it was 54° where by the temperature has been in the 90's! We have not had summer nights here which is quite odd. Now, back to the video 😉... I so enjoy your videos and instructions that you share. These bubbles you're painting in the beginning are delightful 🙏

[@Ms1lonewolf]

Here in Florida it's been in the 90s everyday! I can't stand it. The one good thing is it rains and cools it off a little.

[@aimeestutzman5823]

I love how you handle the critics! Love your sense of humor! And this video was very satisfying to watch Thank you!

[@Oregon-Zan]

Enjoying your video while taking a housework break 🎉❤ Your art is so lovely

[@andreaharutunian3838]

Diane, I love this kind of relaxing art ... I do it quite often but you never fail to inspire me with new ideas and art supplies! I must get those acrylic markers to add to my arsenal lol... Great video 🎉🎉🎉 PS I kind of like that scratchy sound 😮

[@lindacao5900]

Rude people are either jealous or have low self esteem. Either way, it’s not your problem. Feel proud your art is loved by thousands of us around the world.

[@aquiltybirdstudios]

What a wonderful compliment. We spend years un-learning the "right way" to paint and bring back the joy of painting we had as children!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Ha ha, yes, Picasso had plenty to say about that!

[@ullabonderup]

The blue grey coloured leaves are beautiful!

[@maryannknox7158]

I so Love 💗 and enjoy ☺️ your videos and your advice !And most of all I love 💗 love your ramblings ….Sending you Love 💗 Diane I think of you as a far away friend and you enjoy Art and creativity as much as I do ….Blessings Dear Soul Sister

[@brackenannie]

Thank you, Diane! I watch and enjoy ALL of your videos. This video is great, I appreciate learning about different books and techniques. I always learn so much from you, love your sense of humor and your lovely accent 🤗

[@darcypalmer7783]

Thanks for introducing another beautiful book. The word "abstract" scared me, but you addressed that right away, haha, you know what we're thinking!! I like this painting, I think I'll try it.

[@karenetaylor5758]

Oh, yes, and those variations like this have served me well as gifts on various surfaces!

[@maureenstott2107]

I don’t understand why people feel the need to be mean. Just go to a different video. I find your videos to be informative and so helpful. You encourage me to experiment and play. That is so freeing. Thank you!

Thanks for your support!

[@hannahcrumley3103]

This was fun! All of your videos and ideas are fun! Please do not even entertain for a moment those negative comments, I think you are a wonderful artist, you give so much free content that is super helpful, people ought to be grateful not critical! I’m sorry that you have to put up with the likes of them! And by the way, I love the sound of your scritching pens! And all of the wonderful background noises of your many animal friends! Makes me feel as if I’m right there with you! Thank you for posting such interesting content and sharing your insights, your skills and information on supplies!

Well that was fun and relaxing!! Thank you!!😊

I have that book too. The abstract book. I like it.

[@fionaneedham8996]

Dear Diane. There are always demons who try and destroy beauty. Your channel is all about beauty and look at how everyone loves and appreciates not just your art, but your beautiful engagement with helping folk express their creativity. New(ish) to your channel, but really enjoy your work - you make art accessible and enjoyable. Much appreciate you. ❤️

[@elizabethcarlone1364]

Some people are just awful. I love your paintings. You have helped me so much. Continue doing what you're doing

[@lauried8685]

Oh my goodness. . . why are some people so mean? Sending you a warm hug. Thanks for the lovely video.

[@Sundies_Art]

I always love what you do, it is attainable for me to achieve, and I don't feel that you are juvenile in any way. Definitely getting the books and the book stand, a great buy for sure. Thank you once again for sharing your techniques and stories.

[@karenetaylor5758]

So happy to hear you naming the colors, it hs taken me some time to learn the paint box. I bought this online in kindle. I have to read it digitally. I recognized ideas you have been sharing in other forms for a long time. Glad you went to reading it.

[@maryannknox7158]

Wow 🤩 I love 💗 that book rack holder it’s just what I need

[@marijohansson5521]

Beatiful work. I love what you make.

[@KathyTincler]

I've always said that the 'Delete' button was the best thing since sliced the microwave....and crockpot! LOL (seriously) I love this painting and I want both of those books for ideas. They don't look all cluttered and seem well-spaced for someone like me who struggles to learn from print/pictures.... always have. I am with the commenter who doesn't like the scratching, one could torture me with it very easily. Never been able to hold sandpaper let alone use it, does something to my teeth. I just turn the sound way down or off for the brief period of what you are doing. I will def give this a try. But I will try on hot press. I have the Arrtyx brush tip markers and I understand using it on textured paper will ruin the nibs Thanks much for sharing, Diane. Have a wonderful weekend!

[@janicehayes5059]

Thank you for wild abandonment in your artwork! I find creative fun and joyful! Keep painting and encouraging your fellow artist to paint! Cheers ❤😊🇨🇦

[@LindaKing-nq6ut]

Really nice…the colours are pretty…that book looks good…very helpful

[@melaniemays4573]

Always something new to try, thanks for sharing these books. Have you used Neocolors II? You demonstrated Inktense pencils a while back and it inspired me to use the ones I’ve had but haven’t known how to use them before. I have a set of Carac D’Arche Neocolors II but am having a hard time figuring out how best to use them. I thought, “Why not ask Diane? She’s sure to know and share a lovely tutorial on how to use them in a lovely way.”😊

[@gwenritch]

It amazes me how people that are hurting love to hurt others. Delete! Thanks for the wonderful video and most important, your time!

[@marthabridges9098]

I'm glad you delete rude comments. You have so much to offer and are very generous to share with us. Thank you. ❤

Thanks for the recommendation of the books. The Abstract Watercolor book is in my queue for purchase in the near future. The pale blue grey you used for the leaves is lovely!

[@Gigi103163]

Diane, you are truly one of the most authentic and inspiring artists that I have been watching as I aspire to reawaken my creative desires that my busy life had dulled. Thank you and please know that there are many who are glad that we discovered you and your beautiful talent.

Thanks so much Gigi, that’s very encouraging to hear! Many thanks xxx

[@barbarabrown6002]

Love your painting and your videos. Some people are just rude. I’m glad you ignore rude comments.

[@dailydoseofpaper]

I think there was a complete art movement build on the idea of going back to the source and paint like a child (Cobra) so what an incredible compliment you just received Diane! I am starting a little movement of my own where I turn (negative)things around and make them positive. Yaaayyy! Love your videos and your personality😎💖🍀

You are awesome and inspiring. 🧑‍🎨🎨👏👏👏😎

[@ChantelleArts]

these are my favourite colours to use! they're so pretty 🥰

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

They are!

[@julieruthen9996]

I can’t believe people feel they have the right to be so rude. You don’t have to like or agree with everything everyone else does but there is no need to bleat out your unwanted opinion. If you ask for opinions then of course you have to graciously accept what people have to say. Still there’s no need to be cruel. You do you 😊

[@malusanchez8930]

You are great and I like your personality. As an artist, I like how well you explain and inspire me to try !! Keep sharing your life with us ❤

[@raggedyroad]

This one is super pretty. I'm glad you can brush off the uncalled for and untrue rudeness. I will never understand why some individuals have a need for that sort of thing. Thank you for sharing the book. I had discounted buying that one but now I want it. 😊

[@barbaraklein4958]

I love this abstract watercoloring. The added background leaves soften and pop the flowers. I ordered the book and can’t wait.

Oh my God! What is wrong with people! Art is in the eye of the beholder and not everyone is going to like everything….but don’t be ignorant and cruel! I for one….love your videos and I’ve gotten a lot of inspiration from you! Keep being you Diane…we love it!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

It’s laughable really!!! Thanks so much for your appreciation and know I know you are out there rooting for me!

[@joannscott5838]

I like abstracts. Every time they are fun for me.

[@Anikanoteven]

Crazy! I saw another painter showcase this book two days ago and I immediately ordered the Abstract Watercolor book. Your approach is what is needed in this world. My art efforts are strictly for me and spending an hour or two immersed in art where you often lead us, is invaluable for deep relaxation and active mediation. Thank you!

[@staciewood2296]

I can’t believe someone would say that to you about your paintings. Some people just can’t be nice. Your way of painting has helped me not be so critical of myself and be so afraid to paint. I have tried to just paint and let my brush have fun. I appreciate you and how fun you are straight forward. I have learned a lot from you. Still not fully confident in myself to just paint. I am pretty hard on myself when it comes to painting and drawing. Thank you for being you and sharing all that you know about water colors. I’m going to try this painting today. I love all the fun colors you used. Reminds a bit of the Boho style colors. 🤗

[@sheilakaye9705]

Love having the delete approach and sometimes even the block 'em too. I happen to really appreciate your talents. So, a big thank you for all your videos too.

[@kathleenscherm-caulfield3825]

I love this painting so much. For some reason, it kind of reminds me of a bandana print or paisleys. The colors are so cute together and the greyish blueish leaves finish it off so nicely. I like this so much that I'm trying it now!😊❤

[@penneynoss9552]

Diane I want to thank you for sharing your talent and experience. I like that you create using not just watercolor. Awhile ago I bought glass pens and ink and I showed them to my very artistic 8 year old granddaughter. We paint and do crafts together. She loves the pens . I never would have tried them or introduced her to them if not for you. Again thank you.

I bought the book last month and your trees vid inspired me to open it again. Harsh thoughts for people who leave artists negative comments, D. I love your vids.

[@CrftyLdy]

Love all your videos. Your relaxed, enjoyable attitude makes one want to get out supplies and just go at it. You are an inspiration! Sorry for the cruel comment someone left, but, then again, she's probably someone who has a miserable life. I appreciate all the time you put in for these videos and have thoroughly enjoyed them. I'm putting the book on my wish list.

[@Suzi77]

Thank you for this book review and painting session. I bought this book this morning and have started reading it, lol, yes reading it. It’s a great book and have been doing my own abstract work before but this will add to enhancing my creative juices. Glad you are ignoring those negative comments. Life is too short to be bothered with them and my goal in life is to have fun and be kind. Thanks again, hello from Canada. 🍁 🙋🏼‍♀️🌻❤️
