Loose Autumn Flowers, Seeds and Berries - Watercolor Painting Tutorial for a Creative Art Experience

[@sandythompson214]

You are enough for me, I learn from you and very much admire your work. There is no one else like you .

[@gabriellaritaart]

Lovely painting 🎨 I've been binge watching your channel. I love that you emphasize and work with limited palettes

[@mariaestelaleduc9418]

Diane, you are amazing! you never disappoint me. Thank you very much

[@moonstonerising6856]

You are the best watercolour teacher showing off you flaws ad well as your brilliance never change we love you your way

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Wow, thank you so much for your lovely support, really appreciate it! I do my best to cover as many subjects as I can within the seasonal natural world theme which is my passion! Thanks "Moonstone" for understanding!

[@deborahmellor2529]

I totally agree. I have to admit that I often blot out with a wet brush and tissue and I didn’t realise that professional artists do this. I love that you show us everything warts and all it helps me no end as a beginner x

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

They definitely do!!! And lots of other “tricks of the trade” too!!

[@TeriKozeluh]

I am so grateful you show us the whole process and tell us why you’re doing what you’re doing. I learn so much from each tutorial I watch!❤

[@lizbogovich3822]

Love hearing your animals in the background.

[@SheriMiller-lw9xu]

Arthur reminds me of my tripod kitty, Neville. I also have 4 more cats and 3 dogs. I absolutely loved this painting. ❤

[@lauried8685]

Arthur! Eat your sky raisins slowly! Lovely video, Diane!

[@janiceheger291]

This is so cool. The background really added to the idea of texture.

[@fantine9585]

Love your paintings, the tools you use, and spilling your thoughts. You are an inspiration and a charm! Thank you for sharing ❣

[@cathygraetz7229]

So enjoyed rewatching this video, Diane. You’re always an inspiration and I learn from you every time. Thank you!

[@estelalozdon6096]

I love how you built your painting from the lines, shadows, and light that the background gave you.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much!

[@katbeaulieu6391]

Loving the little dog painting 😊

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much 😀 he was a try-out for a little portrait I was doing last year. I was using the paper as a test paper for my color mixing :)

[@KittehNow]

Thank you, Diane. Lovely work and very helpful for learning 😊

[@sarastewart2035]

I love it, you can’t stop!

[@luckyhiker3434]

I did enjoy the process and the end result!

[@posiesutton2009]

Amazing. Love the colors and textures!❤️

[@jennifermcintyre6231]

a very brave exploration of October.....and Arthur is darling

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

He's adorable. He's being neutered on Thursday. That should quieten him down for a day!

[@kv1815]

You are so talented!

[@lindaking9222]

Never tire of autumn colours,interesting background

[@sallymccornack2800]

I love this. And, I love the times when you say things like ‘I don’t really know what this is for but…..’. That helps me through all those times when I truly don’t know why I’m doing something but I do it anyway 😃😃

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

I'm so glad Sally, and believe me, I mean it when I say I don't really know! (By the way, half the time I don't remember what I SAID let alone what I DID!!)

[@sherryedwards5978]

Lovely painting. Thank you for the relaxing tutorial. Arthur was a delightful addition to the day.

[@conniemesce4093]

Loved this. Second time watching !❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Yay! Thank you!

[@SueKivley]

This is beautiful. You are so talented.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much!

[@triciabennetts6578]

Lovely! Thankyou for sharing Diane - you have a very relaxing voice to listen to 🙂

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much for your kind comments Tricia! So glad you’re enjoying the tutorials!

[@loua3926]

Thank you for sharing your birds! We have chickadees arriving…such characters 😊 Beautiful painting today 🍂

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you!!

[@sherizapara2992]

Lovely!!

[@maureenmiddleton2332]

Excellent video, truly inspirational.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Glad you enjoyed it Maureen, thanks so much for your comment x

[@teresamcfall9491]

I think this is one of my favorites. It's something very interesting and pretty.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much for your kind support Teresa and I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! I hope you enjoy giving it a go!!

[@sharonsands708]

I am enjoying these type of paintings so much. It really gets the creatively flowing. I am going to glue this on a photo album. It will be so pretty. Thank you so much for opening up doors...... I so admire you and your talents.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Wonderful! I'm so glad to hear that, it really helps me as we go forward together xxx

[@lindakuck5981]

Beautiful! Like the fennel technique 👌

[@wimjanssen2181]

My 150 th.patience isn't my natural state of being. So to watch almost an hour is a bit out of my comfort zone. But I made it😅 with not too much effort😂. Certainly a nice way to combine a already made background with using the possibilities of that background: it stimulates our creativity. Thanks for sharing. 😊wim

[@pathird7529]

Hi, I’ve only just found you! Have to say I find your paintings and you utterly charming! I absolutely love how you created this. Thank you so much. ☺️

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Pat! Thank you so much for your super kind comments! I'm so glad to welcome you to the channel and I hope you continue to enjoy the tutorials! Thank you again and Happy Painting!

[@TheJournalCottage]

Hi Dianne. I’m stopping by today for some more fall inspiration! I’m in very warm tropics weather so I have gorgeous flowers everywhere and the most breathtaking sunrise and sunsets. However, I really need more. So here I am again. To my unremarkable artistic inspirational new friend. 🥰👩‍🎨🍂

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Cheryl, thanks so much for your lovely message! I think I know what you mean - I lived for quite a while in Bermuda and the Bahamas and I missed the changing seasons very much. So glad you are enjoying what I am doing! It means a lot to me to get supportive messages like yours! Thanks friend! xxx

[@patm1871]

Stunning, could you maybe do a tutorial on creating backgrounds please, that would be 😊

[@paulalotte1146]

Pat, if you're referring to backgrounds like the one she started with in this video, she shared how she did that in one of her previous videos. Here's the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJPGg4Kojb1pncU

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Pat, have you seen this video yet? I do show the whole process here fir you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJPGg4Kojb1pncU

[@jackieojeda6101]

Howdey there Mrs. Dianne I so enjoy watching you paint😃! Do you think maybe you can paint a picture of a farm scene? Maybe some chickens, pigs, cows a barn or maybe your place. I would love to see that, please consider this painting?!! Thank you, love and regards sent. God bless you all 🙏🥰

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Howdy Jackie! Welcome to the channel and so glad to have you on board! It's a great idea to do a farm scene and I will definitely do it soon. How about some chickens and sheep? Thanks again for your lovely input, and may God bless you too xxx

[@lindamello6457]

Reminds me of a cover of a favorite child's book -- the invitation to a fairy garden! I love to imagine the story! Thank you ❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

You are so welcome! Thanks so much for your comment xx

[@cherylcarr9544]

Love frondy things! I need to figure out how to send you some pictures. We have had some awesome Autumn skies! Lots of Payne's grey! As a child I remember playing with my water colors and watching the colors play on the water on the paper. Prang was the brand, they came in a metal box and their brush had a good point. Good memory. Always enjoy your videos!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

I think I remember that brand name! I was having nostalgic memories about childhood painting this morning as I was working on ideas for Christmas cards and remembered struggling so hard to get a bell the right shape!!!

[@cookiesbabies7784]

such a fun project, can't wait to try this!! Thank you Diane for all the neat painting projects.. Jo

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much for your lovely comments Jo. So glad you’re enjoying the tutorials!

[@Lukkiirish]

I could quite honestly sit and watch your videos for hours (and sometimes do). I’m just starting out, but you’ve inspired me to try. Thank you for all the time and effort you obviously put into it, it’s so appreciated!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much for such a lovely comment, I can see you now glued to the screen! I hope you continue to enjoy the videos and I look forward to your comments as you make progress xxx

[@cherylweaver5129]

I love it!

[@Newagetec]

Wow, thanks

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Welcome!

[@helenmichaels1809]

Beautiful

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much xxx

[@paulacampbell6683]

Love this painting but cannot fond the pre painted back ground video that you mentioned. Can you send a link to the video?

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Paula, I think it might be this one you are looking for? Let me know if it isn't the right one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJPGg4Kojb1pncU

[@paulacampbell6683]

It is! Thank you so much. Cant wait to try.

[@deborahmellor2529]

Hi Diane I’ve only just stumbled on your channel and it’s one of the best I’ve seen. I have a burning question for you! The book your beautiful cat jumped onto looks really useful could you let us know the title and author please? X

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Deborah, thanks so much for your kind comments! I'm really flattered by what you say! Yes, of course you can have the details of the book - I think it was Ann Blockley's Flower Painting Through the Seasons. Here's an Amazon link to it: amzn.to/3lWExJw Hope that helps!

[@sheilaobee5756]

Thank you for all the wonderful tutorials, I enjoy them tremendously. I have learnt so much. I am curious about the Vivivia Colors. Not sure I spelled that correctly. Are they watercolors or are they dyes?

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

The makers call them watercolors but I think they are dyes like you find in coloured inks. Thanks so much for your lovely comments!

[@dmddigitalart]

Amazing job !! This is very nice! I like your channel. hi new friend here

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much for your lovely comments! Welcome to the channel and I hope you continue to enjoy the videos and I look forward to reading your comments!

[@anadelgado1946]

Beautiful Diane! Did you use clinig film on the background? Thanks for sharing! Have a nice week

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Yes I did, and you can see the exact process in the video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJPGg4Kojb1pncU

[@anadelgado1946]

@@DianeAntoneStudio thank you!

[@denisezimmer8569]

Question Diane....you mentioned you shouldn't be using your brush to waken up your paints. Is there a particular reason for that? Too hard on the brush? Thanks....Denise xoxo

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Denise and thanks for your question! Yes, the reason is that using the nice brush to loosen up the pigment - especially a pigment based on particles of rock! - is likely to wear down the hairs and lose the point quickly. I should have taken the time to grab an older brush to mix up the paint- or better still I should have dampened the pigment earlier!!

[@sarastewart2035]

The sky looks like a VanGogh…stop!
