How to Paint Watercolor Bluebells - Easy Beginners Real Time Step by Step Painting Art Tutorial

[@iloveallskylines]

Thank you so much for sharing your talent. I have been really inspired by this.

[@ljbwilson]

Great wisdom you share. We paint for our own enjoyment, it is not a competition and it doesn’t have to look just like the picture. Thank you.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Absolutely!!

[@karenohlsen2128]

Dear Diane, I do hope you're feeling a bit better... a little more positive. When you get down, consider the gift you are to those of us who are learning to paint watercolor. Your imagination and creativity stirs our imagination and creativity. You're wonderful! As the woman who commented before me said, Thank You, Karen

[@virginiabaer1110]

Here I am two years late in complementing you on your wonderful blue bells, always love fields of them. In the States the tall Virginia Blue Bells are the most lovely. Our horticultural people here in Wisconsin call them invasive, however, I thoroughly love them. We grow the much shorter ones. Thoroughly agree that loose strokes that are more interpretive that you’re doing 👏👍💖!! But of course I am older and just enjoy putting brush and paint to paper, not necessarily a photo. Saw your short video, such lovely music, could have watched it all day long!🥰

[@mary-stuartshouse6111]

I love painting with you. It is fun, relaxing and especially with your botanicals, puts me in touch with our Creator 😊

Thanks Jennifer, that means so very much to me, and I'm really glad that we've connected via this remarkable medium of KZbin. Who would have thought it! I know myself when YT started it seemed to not be for anyone over 20 or who didn't like video games (and worse) but now it is a much broader thing altogether. It definitely has room for our generation, especially in this Covid world. Thank you for being with me on the journey, and keep creating lovely stuff!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Shirley, thank you so much for your lovely message! And thanks especially for mentioning my DD who does all the important stuff behind the scenes! If you struggle with loose, here are a couple of ideas - use a larger brush than you normally do, hold it near the end, not near the hairs, and sometimes try painting with your other hand (non dominant, i.e. left if you are right handed!) Above all, don't worry if it takes a life of its own. That's what we want really, isn't it! Happy painting, and keep sharing your thoughts!

[@michellehoward96]

Thank you for this. It’s a real skill to take a complex scene and simplify to produce something really pretty. I was admiring the bluebells in our garden just yesterday and now feel inspired to paint them. Good luck with your channel - your 15 minute clips are perfect for those of us who dislike getting ‘bogged down’ in detail or the ‘ botanical’ look. And thanks for sharing some of the more personal stuff- really interesting.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much for your comment, much appreciated. So glad you're going to have a go at the bluebells. I was surprised how simple they are, with their little six-pointed hats! Also I'm glad you like the shorter format, some videos can run very long and they lose me, so I like a quick shot of input myself. I always admire the botanical look but it's not my style (too impatient!)
