I always learn something from your videos. Today you mixed your gold paint with a regular watercolor paint. Why haven’t I thought of doing that?!? It was pretty…

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much Judy, so glad you enjoyed that. It is strange isn’t it, I admit I haven’t done it often; it’s going to become a standard practice for me now!!!

[@connieohara6529]

Thank you, Diane. I am so grateful for all that you’ve added to my life.❤️

[@cindybozic8792]

Lovely painting just for fun!

[@cherylnurmi3004]

I always look to see what Diane is up too. Her relaxed and peaceful voice is so comforting. She takes all the anxiety out of painting. I join her for every painting session.

[@lynnepurtle6965]

I totally agree. I’ve watched other artists, but they tend to annoy me. Diane is the best I’ve found.

[@lesleypickering9387]

I think Diane should be on prescription for anxiety patients.

[@shirleyb4492]

Yup, wholeheartedly agree ~ spontaneous hail adds ambiance! Diane’s soothing voice is expressive, adding to the creative sounds of paint on paper ~ echoing the delicate, tranquility of her joy in teaching us to appreciate art and to let us explore our own interpretations and styles. Thanks, Diane 🧑‍🎨 ❤ 🎨

[@susananthony2084]

You can definitely count on me to write more than five words! Haha! The reason why I watch your tutorials is because (1) I love your art studio, to me it looks kind of like a TV show fantasy (that’s just me) but I love how it’s separate from your house. I dream of having something similar some day. Second reason I love your channel is because of the style of art you make. I need loose in my life and I recall from one of your tutorials you saying “it’s okay to go outside the lines.” Another reason is because you share your life with us, your pets and animals and how you sometimes capture the outside scenery, you really have a great channel, a wonderful personality and I love how we’re in the same age group. A lot of these youngsters do that speeding their vids and I end up closing out and try find something I like. Art is supposed to be an adventure, not something to be sped up!! When I watch you, Diane, I feel like you could be sitting right next to me and we’re sharing stories while we paint and have fun. So, on this note, I will be looking for your next video. Thank you!❤

[@deirdrelewis1454]

I absolutely agree! It’s not just the art that keeps me watching! I love seeing the farm and hearing about your family and animals.

[@susananthony2084]

@@deirdrelewis1454 Hi Deidre, thanks for responding. I thought I maybe wrote too much but when it comes to AI and art, nothing beats the human hand. No AI can compare to what humans can create with their imaginations and their hands. I just don't want Diane's and some other artists' YT channels to be replaced by AI...CRAZY!!!

[@lynbailey9000]

Well put! Completely agree with everything you said. I have had Covid this week and not felt like doing much . But I have had Diane chatting away and soothing me in the background most of the time, and I definitely have seen some things I will try when I’m feeling better. Thanks Diane ❤

Watching you paint is so soothing, and it's great that there's no irritating loud or repetitive music!

I am a new artist so I am devouring your painting tutorials. Today’s “ relax” painting was very helpful. What lifts my spirits, though, are the bright spring colors rather than the autumn values. Thank you ,Diane, for your tenacity in life.

[@susanleenp]

Diane, I love the colors of today's video. Recently, you've been discussing speeding up the video or not. I realized that I tune in not only to watch you paint but also to listen to your commentary, the weather, the animals, your husband's travels, the neighbors and their cat, where you used to live, etc. It's fun for us to get to know you and your philosophy of life and painting. I watch every video and try most. I never thought I'd do the pot plants but it was one of my favorites ever. See? We can all try new things and you inspire us to do so.

[@alicepayne2300]

I tried the potted plants, too and had so much fun with them. I did a few more on tiny 2.5 x 3.5 inch “artist trading cards”. If anyone wants to trade!

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My husband passed away in 2003. I worked a few years after then retired. I felt I needed something new in my life and decided to try watercolors through our community College here in Omaha, Ne. I'm still trying to learn this medium. I've been watching Dianne for some time and absolutely love her channel. I feel like she's my neighbor and one of my best friends although we've never met.

[@LindaMW]

I appreciated your comments on using larger paper. I usually use smaller sheets. Think i get overwhelmed by the thought of large sheets. I will try to move on from that ridiculous inhibition. Thanks for all you do and all the effort you put into your channel. Just a reminder to your viewers-if viewers tap the “Thanks “ button they can leave a monetary thank you of any amount--even as little as $2 if on a budget. Thanks is right by the like button.

[@camolineowens1359]

I agree with you that larger sheets of paper can be daunting. For this reason I always suggest beginners start with smaller sheets of paper and as we move more into discussing composition we can allow for more “space” as needed. Plus, good quality cotton paper can be expensive when starting out but cutting it in half can double its value! Also, we never throw anything away as there are multiple ways to incorporate it in other projects. 😊

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

I don’t think it’s necessary to use cotton paper to make great art. One of my favourite famous artists now departed never used anything except Bockingford which is cellulose and I believe a large sheet will help people loosen up. How can you paint loose on a piece of paper 5 x 8 inches? Which is what many people are working on! Lol.

I wasn't sure I'd love this painting, but I absolutely do. I kept whispering to you, add some berries, and lo and behold, you did! I was wishing for some red berries for contrast for the browns, but when you added the black or sepia, they did the trick anyway. I admire your ability to stop for a minute and think, then come up with a new addition to add. I thought the wavy lies you added on the right somehow added a lot of interest. I'll give that a whirl in my own paintings. Very enjoyable and inspiring too. Thank you, Diane. XOXOJANE

I tend to work small, on small (e.g., 5x7) pieces of paper, too. Good idea to sometimes do something a bit bigger.

Wonderful! I honestly think it’s helpful to sometimes paint large, and you don’t need to use expensive paper either if you paint in the style I’ve been teaching.

And let the healing begin. That you for all you do for us Diane. And big thanks to Tamsin too!

Hearing the rain, even the hail was quite lovely

Thanks so much 😊 for commenting! Glad you enjoyed it!!!

This is a really lovely tutorial, Diane! I love the addition of gold to the other colours. :))

I am engaged and enjoying the peacefulness of this artwork. It reminds me of an underwater scene during a pink sunset. I'm inspired to incorporate this into one of your World Watercolor Month Prompts! I like that yours are a little more detailed and still allow my mind to wander creatively. The official one word prompts often give me too many ideas so I don't know where to begin or I'm stumped altogether!

I love your comment and appreciate your support so much.

I really enjoy doing the loose painting with doodles, I always get new ideas. Nothing is as relaxing as loose florals!

Knoxville Tennessee here! Your use of limited color palettes has been a GREAT example and inspiration for me and my watercolor group! Love the accent, too, it’s so soothing. ❤️

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Wonderful! I’m so glad you are finding inspiration in the videos and thanks for your support and kind words ❤️

Hi Diane! I’m from New Jersey, USA. I so enjoy your videos, and commentary. You make me smile every time I watch ( pretty much every day). When the pandemic hit, I decided to learn watercolor painting through videos , and your channel is my favorite. Thank you!

Living in southwest USA, I envy the sound of all that rain 😮

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

I’m going to send you some of mine!!!

[@cindyayers8035]

love the color combination and the free flow

[@lanahughes5254]

I would not have thought to mix black and gold together. It's an interesting idea. I have some new watercolors to try out as well.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

So glad you enjoyed the ideas in this video!

[@judyguercio]

Love your demos and your ideas.

Thank you for sharing different styles of painting. This January is my first time watercoloring. I'm using watercolor pencils since I enjoy coloring. The white space is a nice look on this piece.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Have fun!

It's great that your husband is coming home early! Hope you are all well. Thank you for sharing. 🙂

I'm watching from Texas USA and it's so hot here 107 we haven't had rain in months. Was nice to hear the rain ! Love watching your videos 🔥 🥵

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Oh wow! I’m so sorry to hear that you are experiencing such high temperatures in the States, it’s awful. The weather is all over the place here, swinging between heatwaves and hail in the space of a few days. What a world! So glad you are enjoying the videos and thanks so much for taking the time to comment xxx
