PEACH is the Color of 2024 - learn UNIQUE ways to mix and use it in this watercolor painting video!

Today we're going to be pretty in peach as we use some special watercolor colors from Holbein to make the perfect pinks for spring rose florals. Join me as I show you how to easily mix delicious peach and apricot shades, and then follow my creative process step by step as I paint beautiful, loose and expressive roses and rose buds in watercolor with ink.
Holbein make fabulous watercolor paint - in Japan - which I've been longing to try for the longest time. Finally I bit the bullet and bought half a dozen colors I was dying to play with from Amazon.com and had a good friend post them on to me over here in France as the shipping from Amazon to me is laughable!
You'll find links to both the sets and the individual tubes I recommend in my Amazon storefront list: www.amazon.com/shop/dianeanto...

I absolutely loved the colours in your composition Diane you really brought a little bit of summer to my morning. It is even sunny and warm here in Scotland today. I think all your videos are excellent and I love the unknown in your designs. It’s good to hear your uncertainty as to whether things will work or not as it makes me feel braver to try things out as I tended to be a perfectionist until I started following you and I have learned so much by letting go and trying different mediums and styles that you have suggested. Thankyou for never giving up on your gut feelings. Xx🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@lauried8685]

I'm loving this video and managed to make a nice peach color with the Kuretake pale pink, cad yellow, and a bit of rose madder deep. I absolutely love the deep greens in the Nouveau set, so I used those. For your dear husband's varicose veins, tell him to try a daily soak in epsom salt. It should ease the swelling and reduce pain. Sending him good thoughts. Sending you good thoughts too, because we know what it's like when men get an ailment. 😏

[@tammyradnai9886]

I love the peach tones combined with the greens and brown. Really love the whole thing❤️

[@isabelcarter1956]

Thank you sooo much for your comentaries, showing your process and how to mix pink and yellow... I find your picture simply beatiful

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

You are so welcome!

[@margaretpinsent6388]

I love the end result, the colours, the ink. I think you say out loud what I, and I'm sure others, say about my /their own paintings. We are our own worst critics! Your style is beautiful. Thank you for showing your process. 🌷 our tulips have only just come up in Northumberland! I've been watching some of your earlier landscape/urban paintings, and wondered if you might be doing more of them again. Thanks Mx

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much Margaret, I really appreciate that. Yes, we find it hard to accept our own art, don’t we! Oh, it must be chilly up there in Northumberland- it’s been flipping freezing here in France and still is!!

[@debbieakers1967]

It's beautiful ❤️

[@azadehshalgooni8919]

Very Very Beautiful and Fantastic Flowers Art, Thanks.🙏🏼🙏🏼👌👌🌹🌹💯💯

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so very much!

[@sharonmcmichael4690]

Lovely pink for a matinee jacket. I looked up “matinee jacket.”Never heard that term in Texas. 💕

[@LindaWhalen]

Sombra cream -amazon has it. As a PT for 30 years i have recommended it for my clients for neuropathy pain and more. It is by far the great for pain relief. Basically it works by distracting the pain receptors from taking in the pain response cause pain receptors loaded with taking in the cold/ hot message the cream causes. Hot and cold are a more pressing message so the receptors deal with that first so u register less pain. Also stimulates blood flow which helps reduce inflammation and the lymph to flow. Thanks for the video. I too love shell pink!! I really like the roses.

[@ChantelleArts]

What a gorgeous video, I love Peach ☺☺

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you! 😊

[@jeaniemiller1929]

Love the roses!!! Beautiful colors too. When they said I had varicose veins the only thing they told me to do is get compression stockings, walk every day and sometimes elevate my legs, also don't get too hot. Not much info, but it's all I know. Hope it gets better.

[@jeaniemiller1929]

PS: I don't wear the compression stockings...to hot here where I live! 😊

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

He was given compression stockings to wear but they made things worse, very uncomfortable and itchy. Best thing we’ve found is some homeopathic cream which works well…

[@ruthmcguire5133]

Sooo beautiful, and I can’t get over how much I’m learning from you, thank you ever so much!!! You teach in such an encouraging way, and your techniques are so easy to try!! Thanks a million!!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you find it helpful!

[@marystephens9150]

Walking helps reduce the pain in his varicose veins. Have him raise his legs in a recliner when he’s sitting. Plus, compression socks can help too! Cool packs applied to the painful vein can help him. Just make sure his legs are not swollen & painful! My mom had terrible varicose veins & I have them pretty bad myself!

[@Reeflections]

I love your watercolor paintings Diane ~ That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it! Actually, I think this painting needs a frame and mat ! I do love the peach and baby pink for sure! Much love from Washington State ❤️✝️🙏🏻

[@sonnyrose561]

I’m from California and have been following you for a while…. You didn’t seem very confident with this video, I have to tell you when you added your ink to your work you’re after my heart… I love watercolors & inks…. Thank you and keep up your amazing artwork ❣️ J.Rose

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

There are days when I am more confident and others when Life gets in the way…

[@alexandradebeurgh]

OMG those roses are so beautiful!!!❤❤❤❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much!

[@conniemesce4093]

Beautiful! ❤

[@sandymontrose8904]

Love this ❤

[@kellypassalaqua3427]

I love the ink that you use Diane is it just pulls everything together. Thank you!

[@petrablume4322]

So beautiful. Love the colors. 👍🤩🥳 Here in Germany we use Rosskastanie (I think it is buckeye in English) for veins, namely inside as supplement and outside as gel or cream.

[@annadean3606]

HI Diane, Pile cream works! 🙂

[@lauramico5527]

Maravilloso

[@user-yj8fc5db1d]

GOLD!!!! it would be beautiful even mpre... lol

[@lorenoakes3934]

You make painting loose so easy, I am a RN try good support stockings. Good ones are not easy to get on but they help with the discomfort. The above sugestion is best for superficial veins in the lower leg

[@crapemyrtlejournals]

You encouraged me to pull out my watercolors!

[@SueKivley]

Beautiful! LOVE the addition of the ink, especially the color.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks for your comment, so glad you enjoyed it!

[@alexandradebeurgh]

Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

You are so welcome!

[@theoriginalerno]

I think you will love this set of Japanese watercolors KISSHO Japanese Painting Paint Horned Face Sai Ayami Ink 20 Colors, I found it on Amazon.

[@heatherstaskevicius33]

love love this thank you so much for sharing

[@patlatour2465]

❤loved it was fun I did not use the sienna but used a dark black pencil, peaches are not easy to mix but the red tulips saved them lol. 😊

[@janiceheger291]

The color of the flowers look like delicious ice cream sherbet. So pretty!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Yes, thanks, they came out nicely…

[@DevonKaren]

Hello Diane, try getting some ARNICA gel or cream for your Husbands legs, it is supposed to help shrink veins and bring out bruises, I think it would help him. Good luck. Love your roses, so wish I could loosen up, I'm so precise, too much so. Hugs Karen xxxxxxxx

[@gemmacalimeri886]

Beautiful colors!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you!

[@pjpony1234]

Oh my goodness, do you remember that cotton paper you recommended on Amazon? I think it's 5x7" 60 sheets for a ridiculously small amount of money? I bought it and used it to make watercolor blocks. It's wonderful. I saved the cover from my Rembrandt watercolor book and just keep refilling it with the new blocks. You saved me a bundle! I'm going to get more. Thanks!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Well done on grabbing that one, I think it’s out of stock now, wonder if it’ll come back…

[@juliec.]

Love it.

[@Angie-pl3uw]

Holbein paints are wonderful: I own a few tubes myself. The info to the paint can be found on one of the sides if you use a magnifying glass and turn it over, around and any way you can think to. Then you will magically find all the paint info! There are two Jaune Brillantes, #1 and #2. One is more yellow, and the other is more pink (I think.) I like them both. TheirFrench Ultramarine is especially pretty. Thanks for a great video. I always watch, but seldom comment as I have too much to say! Haha!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

You can never have too much to say Angie! Thanks very much for that information, I didn’t really realise they had two of them! I was really pleased with the way that one turned out so I might try and get the other one too! So glad you’re enjoying the channel, happy painting and see you again soon!

[@deirdrelewis1454]

Hi! I’m a lousy watercolour painter and I spoil everything I do!! For real. Line and wash works best for me so I usually add ink.

[@caroleccles5095]

Beautiful! 😍 I'm looking forward to trying this. I particularly like the sepia/burnt sienna ink on this. I think I'll invest in one of those calligraphy pens, I like the scratchy look it gives. Thank you Diane for another beautiful tutorial ☺️🖌️

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks Carole, glad you enjoyed it and yes, the dip pen look is very vintage looking and fun!

[@FrancoiseButler-vx1cs]

Bonjour Diane , j aime bien cet outil en bambou , je suis en train d essayer d en tailler un parce que il y a beaucoup de bambou dans le jardin de mon frere , mais c est vraiment dur ce bambou . Merci pour ton tour de sketchbook avec ces couleurs qui se separent c est assez jolie , je me demande si c est parcque il n y a pas de liant que ca se separe . Porte toi bien , pour ton mari essaye le beaume du tigre , ca soulage beaucoup de chose , c est une petite pommade dans un pot qui se trouve facilement et ce n est pas cher et le pot dure longtemps parce que on en met qu un tout petit peu . Bises mon amie a bientot

[@alexandradebeurgh]

Wonderful, i love it❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you! 😊

[@terririggle6106]

I rather like this painting, Diane. I love loose style painting and the addition of the brown ink was brilliant…your commentary was very enjoyable as well.

[@Sundies_Art]

It is always fun to see what different paints will do on different paper. I really like the pinks and peaches that you created. They are difficult for me as well. :) a box of soap, that made me giggle. For me, orange (realistic looking) orange is hard to achieve. thanks so much for sharing your process, always a pleasure.

[@audreylawrence82]

They certainly make beautiful Butterflies & Dragonflies🩵💜

[@patriciahorelick6450]

You’re definitely not alone in the feeling that you start painting with one thing in mind and end up with something different…but sometimesI find something better…or I cut it into bookmarks. I have a small drawer full of bookmarks 😄

[@patriciahorelick6450]

I’m glad to hear that peach is this years color. I think it’s lovely with mint green!😊your roses are so pretty!

[@juditszepessy8936]

Such beautiful colours and composition! Thank you!

[@LindaKing-nq6ut]

Those colours are very nice..ink always adds texture

[@gailstorment4545]

I have fallen in love with peach lately! I painted my first large painting recently...tulips, can't wait to frame it. Thanks for sharing this! I really like the ceramic tray you are using today to mix colors. I need that shape rather than my large round plate for my small area that I use to place my paints.

[@kathytincler2446]

Sooo pretty!!! I just love the style. Thanks much for sharing this loose type with varied mediums.

[@kayclark4406]

Love the results you achieved. Ive been experimenting with granulating paint and what I’ve discovered is that the paints marketed by say Daniel Smith and others are a mixture of 2 pigments like the kuratake. Some do granulate but they also all separate into 2 colors. Another interesting product is Derwent Graphitint paint. It comes in a cute little pallet with 12 colors. The graphite in the paint granulates and there is no color separation. You do such a great job of experimenting with the products to show how they work. Thank you so much!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Kay and thanks for your thoughts - I have heard of the Graphitint paint but haven’t tried it yet, I’ll see if I can get a set. Sounds interesting - I think it might be similar to the Kuretake graphite paints perhaps? Have you seen those? I’ve been sent a set of their Sumi colors which I’m going to try out soon and report back on!

[@kayclark4406]

@@DianeAntoneStudio I have not heard of the Kuretake graphite paints. Im tempted to get their granulating set. I love how the colors separate. I have the Derwent graphitint watercolor pencils-fun to use.

[@denisezimmer5886]

Lovely Diane. The pink does a great job for mixing peach. I love peach. Love to wear all colors peach. ❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Yes! Thank you Denise! You’re a peach yourself!!!

Love the pastels! How did you like the Holbein paint? Thanks Diane 😊❤

It's good, I really liked it x

Dilute Cidar Vinegar 50/40 with water and apply to veins. Also for general health, add a desert spoon to a mug of tea or hot water and sweeten to taste with preferably local honey, Most people can take this with no difficulty, but start off with less CV if you wish.

Love the ink! What kind is it? Thanks!

That’s Sennelier Burnt Sienna, in this set: Sennelier Ink amzn.to/3Pf49A0

If you find out about the vein problem please share the answer. I’m chemically allergic so I don’t get along with pharmaceuticals either!

So sad to hear others can have what I can't order! The torture lol...I'm in Canada. So any Canadian folks...if you know where we can ge5 them , let me know. Loving the butterflies

Someone told me that there are lots of art supply stores in Calgary. I don’t know what city you’re in, but surely these art stores supply by mail ?

[@natalierobinson4879]

@DianeAntoneStudio I've called around , I live in Calgary. So far 2 are a no, but I'll keep looking for the magic, maybe we're just behind
