Easy watercolor leaf design for beginners using Kuretake Art Nouveau paints

[@vanessabroad4051]

Sad lives people have if all they can do is be critical of others - ignore them. Be true to yourself. You do you. We love watching what and how you things.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much Vanessa. I truly appreciate your kind words!

[@Stacy-rl9mp]

Love your channel and the way you talk while you paint. I am so fed up with people telling others how to live. Be yourself, that’s why we watch you! Use whatever supplies you want. Taping the edges does make it look better. I don’t care what tape you use!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much Stacy!! as I said to somebody else, I use whatever I’m given! I try not to buy things unnecessarily so if I have a bunch of washi tape, I will use it! When it’s gone, it’s gone! Thanks so much for your kind words. I’m so glad you enjoy the channel and I couldn’t agree more. We are who we are❤️!

[@normul5984]

Oh my goodness I agree. What is it with people who feel that everyone needs to be shamed/corrected/told off about any or every-thing that they choose to go off on!!!! Ugh. I'm thankful for you, Diane, and for the way you share your skills (with or without all the tape of any kind you choose!!! ) ❤

[@noellamorales5993]

Hi Diane I agree with Stacey too as soon as I hear your voice while I'm skimming through the channels I stop right away and I don't think it's your accent cause there's a few I watch with your accent it's just you the way you are your style the way you just have a lovely care free kind of attitude that I like ...not too mention I love your work it's not overwhelming or demanding you always encourage in anything just do wat you like but you guide us ... love it love you keep on with the channel cause we all love you and your work ...💗💗💗💗

[@katemccarthy2463]

💯 % with you 😅

[@debpaolucciojanomethreadar2357]

My mother in law years ago when I was only 16 & I'm 71 now. She said if you don't have something nice to say , say nothing at all! Compliments are free so you should use them every time you can! You know you just ignore her!!

[@dragonfly7335]

I discovered Kuretaki paints because of you and I love them too! I watched another channel nay-say them - whatever! To each their own and your end justifies the means 😁 You lead, and I will follow!

[@denisewood3843]

Hi Diane, I've been following your channel for a year or 2 now. I love it. This si the first time I've posted, I believe. I am very new to watercolour in the scheme of things. I have learned most of what I know so far from you. I find the style easy enough for me to follow but the results are so good. As for the resources; sometimes I tape, sometimes I don't, depends on what I want from the painting. I use whatever I have. I've been using standard watercolour paint but have seen you do so much with Kuretake. I love your results so much, I asked my son for some at Christmas. I can't wait to use them more. As for the rest of it, I love your voice and your stories. Please carry on being you. We love you just the way you are.

[@juditszepessy8936]

Please, continue to use the Kuretake set! We love them!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Don’t worry, Judit I will! Especially since you asked me to!

[@Babyjohn8170]

Agreed 👍

[@myrarucker7953]

Thank you!! Enjoyed this very much!! 😊

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MelissaGonzalez-qw7jx]

I love the colour combination, beautiful x

[@myrarucker7953]

I saw immediately about the brush. Just moved so easily when you changed your brush!! But you do make it look effortless!! 😊

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much 😊 for seeing what I was talking about! I knew somebody would notice! The brush does make such a big difference.

[@myrarucker7953]

That chocolate brown was so rich. Maybe copper or bronze with it next time. Beautiful 🤩

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Good idea!! Another time I could mix that colour up and use a lot more of it combined with gold or copper or both! It would be a good autumn painting wouldn’t it!

[@dottieburns3420]

I love your work. Sometimes when I’m dragging my feet about painting I’ll do one of your leaf paintings like this and it gets me moving. So I need you to keep doing them! Especially when I see the results and hear/see you not planning it, just going where it takes you!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Dottie, and thanks so much for your support! I’m so glad you enjoy these videos! As you know, often I don’t know what to paint either! When in doubt paint a leaf! I think that’s probably my slogan!

[@ShellasFaith]

This is beautiful! I enjoy painting and drawing leaves since I'm new at this, so I'll be saving this channel to practice many ways and colors to create leaves. I particularly enjoyed darker colors over the light colors and how the circles stood out to my surprise. I enjoy your sense of humor 😂.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Warm welcome to the channel! So glad you found us and that you enjoy what I do! The dark colours over the lighter colours are made possible mostly by using the type of Japanese paint I’m using often (although often I use traditional watercolour paint too).

[@mywifetheartist]

Diane this is your channel and you use and do whatever you want to do. Some people are so rude and have no matters. So sad. I value your knowledge and thank you for sharing with us. May God bless you.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much for your kind words - much appreciated !!

[@katemccarthy2463]

I absolutely love this channel. Diane you are amazing and as I said before I love your chatting as you paint. Plus of course those wonderful furties you see and hear from time to time.❤ It looks like you live in a wonderful environment ❤❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much Kate. Our little patch of earth is very lovely and we are lucky to have it. I’m glad to be able to share it a little bit with others like yourself xxx

[@denisespillane9242]

I love this painting. I am going to try. Love your videos. I also use washi tape it comes up so easily

[@Shells1968]

I use washi tape for borders! Why not have something pretty! And I love my Kuretake paints. Use what you want not what others think you should! Love your work.

[@allysonlane8969]

[@Babyjohn8170]

Agreed ! Same, use them all they’re great.

[@hilarybailey2902]

Thank you Diane for another video with a beautiful palette mix. I hope your headache soon improves. I suffer very badly with neck/ stress headaches and actually find your videos and chat very relaxing. Then to pick up a brush myself and enjoy the paint and water doing "their thing" is lovely 😊❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Sorry to hear that you’re having the same problem as me Hilary. I’ve never had such a problem as this with headaches before, but I’m pretty sure it is my neck muscles. I’m trying to find everything to try to fix it. Yesterday I started to take magnesium and vitamin D because I’ve heard that it’s good for muscles to make them relax And I’m going to try to do more painting vertically rather than leaning over the paper. That is going to take some getting used to, however! Sorry to hear that you’re suffering from the same thing. It’s a real problem. All the best and happy painting.

[@hilarybailey2902]

It can make you feel quite depressed at times! I find massage the greatest help and the right pillow. Keep up the painkillers whatever anyone says. It is a vicious circle otherwise...increased pain...increased tension...increased pain. Thanks again for you lovely videos ...they really help me to relax!

[@soto460]

I absolutely love your channel. It is so relaxing and soothing. Thank you for taking the time to share your art with us. Wonderful!

I enjoyed this too! I wish my try at these kinds of paintings looked at all like yours!

Thank you so much Patricia, thanks for commenting xxx

[@JenBPhD]

I have loved the relaxation-type projects you’ve been doing lately. Mine don’t look as good as yours but they are really fun and meditative to do. (Also-I think people need to remember if they don’t have something nice to say, better to say nothing at all. Use what paints and tape you like!) Thanks for brightening my day.

[@brackenannie]

I was craving CHOCOLATE after I watched this video😋 I love how you share things with us, I’ve learned so much. Hope you feel better soon.

Massage for your stress headache if it’s available and affordable. Always enjoy your videos.

I am working with an electrical massage thingy which goes over my shoulders and kneads my muscles. I think it’s helping. Wish me luck!

[@bill4886]

Diane i just love the colors you have used. It always good to watch you paint. I used to paint regularly with you but now I am struggling to get back.

[@CookieMum]

Love the colours. Love your calming voice about life. Love your videos overall❤❤. Love borders to enhance the look of pieces. I know we all have the right to speak our minds, but really, what happened to " if you can't say something nice, dont say anything at all" You are an inspiration 🎉

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it. I actually don’t believe in the idea that everyone has the right to speak their minds - I believe in the first principle that you should consider the feelings of the recipient of the comment and decide whether you would like to be criticised for everything YOU do too! You are absolutely right - as we were taught by our parents “if you can’t say anything nice, say nothing” is a very useful maxim. It used to come in handy for my dad when my mum said “do you like this hat?” LOL!

[@janenuth3259]

Thank you Diane for explaining why you use your table easel. I’ve had one for many years and not sure I’ve enjoyed it but I see the sense of using one. Will definitely give it another go ❤

I am SO happy you are back to using the Kuretaki paints! I invested in them because of your channel!

[@kayclark4406]

Very lovely! The colors turned out just so pretty. Tape is tape! People need to get a life and stop telling others how to live theirs! Im living in a hellscape here in Southern California with fires devouring entire neighborhoods. Everyone here knows someone who has lost their home or business or is evacuated. It is day 5 with fires still blazing and more winds predicted. Watching a relaxing painting video is a welcome respite.from the local fire updates. Hoping your headache starts getting better.

[@jeanoliver4388]

Living in Australia we are well aware the devastation fires cause. I watch the news and feel so sorry for the victims of these horrific fires. I pray that they will soon come to an end.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Yes, so sorry to hear that you have terrible fires - what a tragedy for everyone and everything concerned. Really words are not adequate to express the sadness we feel for your situation, and how we are only too well aware that it could happen anywhere at any time. Only 2 years ago here in wet and cold Brittany we had literally the FIRST wildfire on our heathland EVER and the fire brigades just didn’t know what to do about it. Luckily for us it was ten miles away and there was no habitation involved, but it was a wake up call.

Hi Diane! I'm hoping your headache and neck pain and stress get better soon, and working on the easel helps! More chocolate needed?? I love watching the magic of the paint move in the water and the effect you get with it. I love Kuretake paint and Washi tape, which I learned about from you. Washi also comes in handy in a greeting card, when I enclose something, because I don't want the item to fall out when the receiver opens the card.... so thank you for telling me about it and Kuretake paint (I love!) and Washi tape!😊🌿🌰❤

Your channel has such a variety of 😮 products - several types of paints, brushes, pens, etc. I've purchased many of them because I love the effects as well as experimenting. Keep doing what you're doing and disregard the critics of the world. There will always be negative people - somehow they didn't learn if you don't have anything nice to say then say nothing at all. lol

I do love these unique, happy patterns. As a beginner I can have success with them and people of all abilities can create all kinds of happy patterns. I feel so bad that people criticize you for such ridiculous things! I pray your headache goes away soon. I have suffered from headaches since I was a teen and some headaches can be stubborn and last for weeks. So, I feel your pain. Recently I got from my dentist a night mouth guard thingy and remarkedly my headaches have been less frequent! Keep trying methods to find relief until something helps!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Darcy and thanks so much for your thoughtful and kind messages. I’m so glad you’re finding these patterns and simple designs helpful and enjoyable! Interesting what you say about headaches that won’t go away. I know I clench my jaw - I have a bit of TMJ and occasionally my jaw dislocates itself - I’m sure that doesn’t help headaches!! Yes, I will keep on trying!❤️

I enjoyed watching you paint the different leaves. One thing that was missing was seeing how the smaller looked when it dried. Regarding the washi tape controversy: I think they are worried about someone stockpiling it so someone else can't buy and use it for its "true" purpose. Go ahead and use what you have. Better that it get used than just sit there. I hope your headache goes away soon.

Why would anyone think they have the right to tell you what to use when your doing your video. Boundaries people , mind your tongues Jeeze… Diane is a wonderful clever clever person. This is why we can’t have nice things 😂

[@deirdrelewis1454]

I don’t use washi tape because it’s pricey in South Africa. I can’t afford artist’s tape either. So cheap masking tape is my go to, as it doesn’t stick all that well and doesn’t damage the paper when you remove it. But, why not use washi tape if it’s cheap where you live. Honestly Diane, I wouldn’t let the criticism get to you. You do you…we love you just as you are!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks Deirdre! I’m sure it would be very expensive here in France too. I basically use what I’m sent for free! Most of my life I’ve used painters tape and I don’t see anything wrong with that! Like you say we do what we do whatever that is we do our best! Thanks so much for your support! I’m so glad you enjoy the videos❤️

[@terridickinson4396]

Yes, don't you hate 'hints' of what not to wear if you are over 60??? Have they been in my closet? Also, what a great experience of the movement of color in water. Please let me know if the Meeden desk easel helps your neck. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis in my neck. Great session!

[@Ann-ey1tw]

I think people say the weirdest things to you, so bizarre. I agree I need to use my washi tape, but mine must be really cheap as it seems to come off easily. I’m glad you’re using the Art Nouveau set, I was just thinking I need to get back to them. Also, I’ve been using a desk easel for a few years. Once I got use to it,I liked it a lot better. But I do have to watch for too much running water, sometimes I don’t want it. I got a set of Derwent pastel watercolors for Christmas and I really like them. Very delicate colors, similar to the Art Nouvau ones. Take care, hope the easel helps the headache! PS, haha tell those that criticize you the cliff advice! I love your sense of humor!

[@TeriKozeluh]

I love the chocolate-y wet in wet leaves! Absolutely beautiful! Ibuprofen is my friend…I’m going to think about the table easel because I know it’s from looking down too much because how else do I paint? Thank you for the wonderful video!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Sounds great! I’m certainly hoping it’s going to help me! If you do decide to use the table easel remember that for awhile you will find it awkward to paint because you need to retrain your muscles that you’ve been using in a certain way for a long time. I definitely noticed the difference. But I know that I can do it because I have painted on an easel for many years when I was doing oils and acrylics and a specific style of watercolour that required me to stand upright and paint on an easel. Definitely worth thinking about because a constant headache is something nobody wants to live with! Thanks so much for your appreciation and for enjoying the videos!❤️

[@denorahmicale5581]

Beautiful as always. P.S. I have used washi tape on my paper for inspiration as I paint….

[@dottieburns3420]

I like my Kuretake paints! Did someone say there was something wrong with them?

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

There are people out there who don’t like them for various reasons which I don’t actually believe to be true or important. There is pressure from vegans not to use any animal byproducts. However, I am of the opinion that since animals are killed to be eaten, there is no further harm to be had by using their byproducts. I am a vegetarian myself and choose not to eat meat, but I don’t disapprove of the use of ox gall or gelatin in paint. Thanks so much for your support for the channel and I’m so glad you enjoy the videos!

[@cowgirljane3316]

Tell me ,is paint from tubes your preference,or from pans ? As a beginner ,I only have tubes ,mainly Cotman or Winsor and Newton

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Sally and thanks for watching! I personally prefer tube paints in general as they suit my loose style better. I use pans when I am away from home, and also to demonstrate sometimes because everyone is different!

[@patriciahorelick6450]

Diane, I’m really sorry these critical people find your videos and can’t think of a nice comment to make… because there are many good things to learn and hear about as you tell us all sorts of interesting bits while you paint. But really! picking on what kind of tape you use is really petty…just my opinion. Keep doing what you do and ignore what’s not useful! BTW I notice this type of commenting all over social media. If it helps it’s just that some people don’t seem to be very happy and they need to share their unhappiness…that’s to bad.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

I think it’s funny how people seem to enjoy correcting what they think of as mistakes. I shall cheerfully ignore all such comments - and know that any comment is a good comment as far as KZbin is concerned!

33:02 they are people or human accounts they are what the internet call a bot. A bot -- short for robot and also called an internet bot -- is a computer program; that operates as an agent for a user or other program (facebook fakes their own accounts to keep users engaged in groups) or to simulate a human activity. Bots are normally used to automate certain tasks, meaning they can run without specific instructions from humans. But I am a human.. one who doesn’t care if you drop your crumbs.

Oh, good grief! What everyone else said. It's easy to be critical especially with the relative anonymity of the internet. Unfortunately, it's a playground for the small-minded. I'm sorry about your troubles. Family stress is the worst. I hope everything works out and you find some serenity soon. You are making a difference here!

Don’t care about the mean things people say., I think some people need to get a life. Who cares what type of tape you use?
