Start Wet-in-wet technique to create cute cats

Today’s project is a two-in-one. We’re going to practice our wet-in-wet technique, and at the same time create a cute greetings card we can use for anyone and for any occasion.
It’s a simple design of three stylised cats, and I’m using the lovely A. Gallo paints to create this, on a piece of Arches 140lb watercolor paper, cold pressed.

[@drbettyschueler3235]

Thank you for your tutorials. It is a shame we can't save them as you are a fun channel to watch when things go sideways in life and I need to decompress. I really enjoy your whimsical pictures.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

I think you can save them to your personal downloads, can’t you?

[@susanmartin3762]

Hi Diane! I cannot thank you enough for sharing your gift with the world! I could NEVER imagine me, holding onto a brush and painting ANYTHING other tba my walls or my nails 💅. I've started to learn the art of Lettering. It was while I was looking for a specific video when I "Stumbled" on to your Lil slice of heaven right here in KZbin! What a gift IS youtube, right? Learning his to paint with a fabulous artist like you and my Lettering coaches, I'm having the best time. Thank you fir making something I NEVER EVER thought i could do... painting an actual... thing! A "subject".. something I will look back on and say to myself, "Not too bad old girl! Not too bad at all. I wish I could show you my progress but I have absolutely NO WAY of knowing how to do that so i'll just let your imagination run amuck!!😂🙂 Again, thank you for making something SO DIFFICULT... so easy!❤

[@jabalidefuego]

I really enjoy your whimsical pictures. It really is a great help to lose the fear of the watercolor technique! In my case it is a great help to learn to let go and wait for the work to dry and see the path of the water and the pigment, which fascinate me...Thank you!! 💖

[@darcypalmer7783]

I love your whimsicle animals. I'm fairly new to watercolor and have been practicing lots of techniques. I tried these three adorable cats this morning and they came out great! I never imagined I could make something like this. Thanks you for your videos.

[@glo8185]

Thank you so much it was a great tutorial. I made my grandson a homemade birthday card and he is gonna love it.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Wonderful!

[@aida087]

I absolutely love your Art, your kitties are ADORABLE!!❤️🥰🙏🏼

[@ArtBookNook]

These cats are delightful Diane... 😺

[@tracyhunter340]

Hi Diane, I’m from Rochester New York. There is a cat that is blue, it’s called a blue Russian. It has grey mixed with the blue. In the sun light you can see the blue.

[@shellyberanek6271]

Another great tutorial. I can’t thank you enough. I look forward to hearing your voice and seeing what wonderful creations you have posted every day.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much!

[@ranimacias7638]

I painted these cats at 5am before work while listening to the birds chirping through my window and it was so relaxing. Thank you for experimenting and letting us reap the benefits of your trial and error!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

So glad you enjoyed this painting although I can't imagine painting at that time of day! The birds are going crazy here too!

I was having a difficult day and sat down and painted three of the happiest cats along with you. This has made my day and I am feeling lighter and able to get on with life. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful gifts and helping us get loose and enjoy the process. I can't get enough of what you do so well!! Have a great day.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

I have watched your videos all afternoon and I don't know where to start! I've had a Siamese ALL my life (not the same one lol) and that's where I am starting. I am SO excited! It's been years since I've painted, as a hobby. Thank you for sparking my need to get back to it!!!

[@mariach46]

Aww so so cute!! The granulation is gorgeous on this paper. I love the all the cats 💜🐾 Thanks Diane.

Aaw, so sweet Robyn, hope you enjoy it, and give your MC a hug from us! xx

[@nancydb1390]

Love Maine Coon cats!!

[@katherinestobbe5556]

SO delightful!

[@debbysimon120]

I am going to try to do these kitties for my Granddaughter. They are absolutely ADORABLE!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Wonderful! Have fun!

[@NanaBeth1]

Favorite ever!!! They are so cute. My mind is racing with variations. You know you can easily remove that bottom flap with no damage to the palette whatsoever. I use a tiny screwdriver to insert in end of the flap where it joins the palette and push out the small metal rod that holds it. I save mine. Keep thinking I will use them-but haven't so far. Tip courtesy of Miranda Watkins.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much for your support Beth! When you see the latest dragonfly video you'll notice that by then I'd figured that out, with the help of my daughter (who's an engineer by trade!) I might put the lids back on at some point so I've slotted the rods back into the hinge edges where they stay without any problem. Thanks for mentioning this though! Happy painting!!

[@nighthealerrn1695]

I love your videos ❤❤❤. Your art is simple, whimsical, and fun. Thank you.

Thank you so much Diane. I didn't think I could ever paint. Even though it's loose! I have done the birds and cats for birthday cards. I said I was going to make my own this year, I did xmas cards for all of my family using the birds and I was really surprised how much they were enjoyed. You make it totally achievable . your talent is amazing and your sharing immense
