Diane, this is sooo beautiful & soft; yet detailed…love it💕 Do you tap your brush on the cloth towel or on a paper towel after each water rinse…or do you just tap the brush on the water jar’s edge & retain some water & take up the next watercolour to apply?

[@jennymathers3264]

I’m in the middle of painting poppies along with you! I can’t thank you enough. THANK YOU! I’ve been painting poppies all summer with little success. I live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. We have poppies from early spring through autumn. Oh, we’re in California. The poppies start in the spring looking almost red by now(we’re in September) and they have c one through the seasons of turning bright orange red to dark gold to yellow and now thy are a pale gold. With your tutelage I actually made some beautiful poppies.. thank you, again. I have drawn some rocks, several pages of the them and are waiting for the graphite pallet I ordered from your shop. I introduced my sister and my niece to water coloring a while ago and I have suggested they watch your channel. I also told them about you lovely store. I’m so happy I have found you.

[@dianemccain3124]

[@MoMaryR]

Thanks Diane, I absolutely love the one on the pratice sheet which shows the dark seeds in the middle.

[@cindymccann3753]

What a lovely lesson for me. I love poppies. I've been looking for the best tutorial. You nailed it. My thanks to you, Diane

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks Cindy!

[@1171]

Diane beautiful poppies and I am already trying them thank you so much.

[@sagelavender3281]

Love poppies!

[@rosemariegarone5351]

Thank you for your beautiful demos. They have given me the confidence I need to start watercoloring. Especially love that you give your sketches freely/small donation. I cannot draw a thing so they are exactly what I need. Thank you!

[@leslie-annepepin8927]

I really enjoy your videos and your style. Thank you!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Glad you like them! Thanks so much!

[@MariaMartinez-jb3zn]

The hardest part is the drying! I love that nothing has to be totally defined but a soft image that sparks imagination 💭 I never thought of using watercolor pencils on wet for definition or pen and ink over dry to make the sketch come through….what a world you have created for me❣️Discovering in my 50’s 😱 Thank you so much Diane for helping to break through my block…to tell the truth, so has embroidery with Sarah Homfray… painting seems to be the technique I lost along the way…it’s amazing how much we all have lost the simple pleasures because of the internet, electronics and technology and perhaps going to the local bar…🙏🏽🙋🏻‍♀️👍🏽Mia

[@sandythompson214]

I think your poppies are simply beautiful. Thank you for your time and goodness to teach us.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

You are so welcome Sandy, it’s my pleasure!

[@baukjelem]

Good morning Diane, I have always wanted to learn how to paint with watercolors. I've always admired the work of watercolor artists with great admiration. Now that I'm getting older and have more time, I think I'm going to give it a try thanks to your videos. Thank you for explaining it step by step. I'm going to buy some stuff for it this afternoon. Thanks again, love from the Netherlands 🎨🍀🖌️

[@TheCrabbyCrafterlol]

Goooood for you--I hope you're knee-deep into it by now. Lovely pic of your beastlie 🐾🧡

[@gilliancunningham5488]

I really got a lot out of this video Diane. I love your informal , dash in approach but this gave me the tools I need to increase my skill set so that when I free flow I have skills too! Thanks 😄

[@ritavansimaeys8226]

Diane again this is a great tutorial with interesting techniques. I am already looking forward for the waterlelys 😃

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much 😊

[@jeanninef2110]

Beautiful! Thank you for a very calming and inspirational vlog!

[@karendirmish2696]

A wonderful teaching video, clear and concise! Soft music adds a lighter hand for me! Loved the each layer brings depth, but lightly! Reminds me to be easy with my hand! Thanks for teaching! Karen Dirmish

[@lindamcdermott9980]

I scrolled through some older posts, I particularly enjoyed this one. I have water brushes and have not really used them. After watching you, I think I’ll give them another try.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

They are especially useful when you’re going to be away from your normal home studio. Or just as a change!

[@mandolinchic1]

Just fabulous! You are a joy to watch! Thank you so much.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much!

[@sherrimalone3023]

I haven’t finished the piece yet but I just have to say you have helped me so much already. Thank you for actually teaching and not just showing. The other thing…I get so frustrated with myself. I hit my elbow on the chair, knock the light into my Quin Magenta, drop the brush, put my hand in the wet paint and, well, need I go on? When I heard you drop the brush and the cat comment 😅😅I felt so much better. Just what I needed in so many ways.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

I'm so glad, Sherri!

[@kathylarsson8388]

This is the 1st of your videos I have seen. Dianne I am blown away by your brush techniques those poppies are stunningly beautiful . I just love learning such achievable skills. Thank you so much 💓 Ksthy from Sydney Australia

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Kathy and welcome to the channel! I’m so glad you found us all the way from Sydney, I’m really pleased you are here. The time difference can make it hard to feel connected for you I know, plus of course everyone is always on about things with an American slant. I know I have quite a few ladies from Oz and I wish I knew more about your flora and fauna then I could paint more of it. meanwhile, so glad that you are going to learn the layering of paint for the poppies. It’s great fun and very calming if you just let yourself have the time! Take care xxx

[@marilynbethel909]

Thank you, I’m going to paint my version of this video for a friend of mine who loves pale pink. 🌸

[@DianeAntoneStudio]
