PAINT
Here is a link to a Winsor and Newton starters' paint box which would be ideal for a beginner.

This is a link to a Winsor and Newton Artists' quality box, which is ideal for a serious student.
24 colours: amzn.to/3tHJTKI​
12 colours: amzn.to/3rC0IVj​
TUBE PAINTS
I always have a tube of White Designers Gouache on hand for lights and corrections

Princeton do a good range of synthetic squirrel brushes. This is a size 10 round.

And Winsor and Newton Cotman brushes are also good. This is a size 10 round.

I often use a rigger brush (called script liner in the US) and this is a link to the Cotman range of riggers, this is size 1.

Love your animals! This darling little lady made me smile. Blessings

[@dreamalamb4259]

Adore your animals ❤️

[@likearainbow7501]

I'm sorry I'm a year late here but... She is so alive and with personality! 🖌

[@wimjanssen2181]

My 35 th. Thanks for asking; my migraine is over now, what a delight. Structure in a white animal. Looks very lovely. I think I will paint it this evening so I will watch it again. LOOSE BUT NOT STRUCTURELESS. O and the background music took me back to my cradle time 😅.thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day. Wim.😊

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Wonderful! So glad you are feeling better and still enjoying the videos!

[@ktrmeadow]

He’s so special. We grew up with a pet goose named Godfrey. This reminds me of him.

[@rabenschwartz]

So great! Jemima Puddleduck 😃😃👍👍👍 Yellow and blue shadows, yet you can see the white duck. Simply fantastic! Thank you very much, Diane, for this tutorial

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Ha ha you got it!

[@anahernandezgonzalez7229]

i LOVED IT, helped me to star daring into the wet on wet technique

[@duvnjakfan]

Awesome!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks!

[@LeslieNikulka]

A very happy looking duck! I found this to be a valuable lesson in a) painting loose and spontaneously and, b) shading a white subject. I look forward to trying this lovely duck. Thank you for sharing, Diane. Have a peaceful night. ox🦆

[@rabenschwartz]

For me, one of the most important things is to learn how to use light and shadow in painting. I am convinced that once you understand this principle, you can paint. For me, mixing colours and dealing with light and dark are essential. It would be great if you, dear Diane, could publish more of these lessons. Maybe also a theory video where you show such basics? Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks Sylvia, I'm grateful for your support both here and on eBay, where you gave me a big boost when I was just getting started last year. I'm hoping to create a structured course soon. Once we have got the KZbin channel properly launched that's the next step!

[@duke2011ful]

Amazing as always! I’m a Patreon now - I’m addicted to watching and learning from you!

[@duke2011ful]

Diane one question, how many different times did you allow him to dry before the next layer?

[@trinawilliams1395]

This truly brightened my day! Your drawing skills are amazing. I love the looseness of the last two paintings you have shared. I hope one day to be able to enjoy myself painting as much as you seem to!! Thanks as always....😘

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much 😀 I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@posiesutton2009]

Handsome fellow❤️

[@deborahwheatley1970]

Video was brilliant to follow 😊 I've just finished my duck and I'm very pleased with him 🦆

[@beverleycooper1206]

I love this little duck! So adorable ❤

[@cynthia0dlin797]

Wonderful duck! Will try later! Thank you so much!!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

[@angelaschultz3109]

I cannot thank you enough ….. you and your work brighten my days .

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

You are so welcome and I'm so glad, you brighten mine, too x

[@wimjanssen2181]

My 271th. I rewatched this video and actually painted it at last! Even more fun then only watching😂🎉.thanks. I think I will paint this duck more and use it as a card or little gift. 😊wim

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

That is awesome!

[@bfranklin1052]

Lovely. thank you!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cindykirby7673]

I do Xmas so I’m visited your past videos. This was amazing. You just brought to life

[@janicem4382]

I love the duck, I will try it. I haven’t painted in a very long time, maybe 40 years, but you make me want to try again. Thank you

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

You can do it! Happy Painting!

[@KMercure]

I adore this duck! It does look like Jemima Puddleduck!

[@user-zw9hf2yj7r]

Дорогая Диана! Жаль, что вы далеко- так бы и приехала бы к вам учиться вашему волшебному мастерству! Только не зная языка, не пойму что у вас за фломастеры для обводки. Спаси Бог💥👍🙏🏻

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Elena, I use either Pigma Micron amzn.to/3NMEg7s or Staedtler Fineliners amzn.to/3Tw for most of my line work.

[@susancook1617]

Brilliant, he’s so cute and characterful. Thank you for sharing.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

You are so kind! Thanks from Mrs Puddleduck!

[@annehebert6959]

Love this one - well I love all of them. But this was cute, made me smile. Thank you.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks Anne, so glad it made you happy!

[@supermom-nocape9831]

What a fun painting!

[@conniemesce4093]

Love this duck painting! ❤

[@evagiuliani9375]

I loved this duck, thank you so much

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

My pleasure 😊

[@michellehoward96]

Another one of your great short tutorials to try. Thank you . And great tip re using broken sketchy lines when drawing. The principle of having a warm side and a cool side is new to me - interesting.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Glad it was helpful! Happy Painting!

[@tamyranash5984]

I love this duck so much! I painted this in early October, and one of my daughters confiscated it for her house! The one I did today definitely shows improvement!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

That’s so sweet! Perhaps you need some ducklings to go with her!

[@amandadavies4418]

This is very sweet!!😍 thank you!🥰

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

You’re welcome 😊

[@marcemiss]

I'm so trying this! It's beautiful

[@eileenpeat2259]

Beautifully done.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you very much Eileen!

[@legcard]

I really enjoyed this video. I took good notes on pen & wash process. And quickly wrote down your colors. I will paint it later when the smiley box from Amazon arrives with my pen .05 and my first Kuritake water brush.

[@HobbyFarmGuys]

Love this!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks Hobby Farm Guys, so glad you are still here!

[@robinsusich4247]

[@Mainaed]

Wow... 🤩

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks!

[@teresamcfall9491]

Adorable

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks Teresa!

[@TheBeatrice160]

A good word for not joined up lines is loosely goosey - sorry couldn't resist lol!

[@LaviniaNova]

Hi Diane! I tried this last night and it turned out pretty well. Though mine looked more like a gosling than a duck 😄. Thanks for the tip on the colors to use for shading cool and warm 🤗.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Wonderful! So glad you gave her a try!!!

[@joeyhoney1]

I love ducks and I love this one. Thank you for showing how you got the shading etc. it’s wonderful! Warm regards from 🇨🇦Calgary, Alberta🇨🇦

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much 😀

[@engleharddinglefester4285]

Mine's a lot different because I used Bee paper lol and plus I'm a beginner :) get it? Thanks!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

[@MR-yw4oh]
