The sheer FRUSTRATION of technology - PLUS Discover great DIY Watercolor Christmas projects with me!

[@ljscheible6007]

Thank you for your extra effort today. Some days are just hard ❤

[@AmberMarieArtStudio]

I hope you give your neighbor hell. I wouldn't want that nightmare next to me either. I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. I appreciate you sharing and painting your way through your feelings with us. That looks like a lovely book and was certainly a delightful painting. Keeping you in my thoughts.

I get lovely ideas from The Postman's Knock....using watercolour and calligraphy...

[@ChantelleArts]

the line art looks so fun! I did a similar style before with portraits and loved it 🥰

[@dianemeldi2377]

Thank you for making my day with your beautiful artwork!

[@Sundies_Art]

Thank you, Diane. I am sorry you had a hard day. Please know that my heart goes out to you. I too would be extremely frustrated to learn of this news from your neighbor. I sure hope you can work out a way around it. Thank you for the efforts today and my thoughts and prayers go out to you.

I love that “paper separator “ ! I’m new to watercolor and have often wondered how I could separate the paper from the “blocks “ of paper. Perfect!

[@gari-anneshores6531]

I use my pallet knife. I probably purchased the pallet knife when I briefly tried oils.

[@dragonfly7335]

I bought the separator from Temu if it is no longer available from Meeden

[@karencarlson1693]

Oh no! How frustrating that your phone cut out on a long video you thought you were making. This is a cute Christmas design, and I hope you will do a reindeer sometime!

Such a great little painting! I am not a vegetarian,but I see no reason to raise or consume veal. I would have to move also.

[@DonyaleF]

Thank you for the book flip through, very informative.

[@jeaniemiller1929]

Hi Diane! What a frustrating thing to have happen...all your work unrecorded because of a simple phone call. I'm glad the painting was therapeutic after that happened...the book looks very interesting. Poor baby cows! I'm a pescatarian and I'm so glad I no longer eat beef! Now I don't understand why people love it so much.❤

[@amel2784]

Very nice! 🥰 Thanks!

[@sharondoan1447]

Can you have a separate line for your work? A line that no one could have direct access to simply by putting in your number? I think that phone systems may be very different where you live. I am sorry for your lost work. That is a loss for all who look forward to your tutorials and chat. You are so open and friendly as you narrate your videos and paint simultaneously, which is not easily done. Thank you for what you posted just now. In the US it is Thanksgiving and we take a little time from our daily lives to pointedly express our gratitude for the blessings of the year. As you might guess not everyone is at all thankful, but as you say,” That’s okay”. It doesn’t change the fact that most of us are thankful for a great many things. Take the beautiful life giving rays of the morning sun, for example. Who is naive enough to think that’s guaranteed?

I would love to see a video of how you painted the angel! ❤

[@yovamccoy2806]

I wasn't sure if your blood pressure had gone down by the end of the painting or not. I'm sure though that it was headed in the right direction. I watch another watercolor artist who has had similar technical problems during a live video. She found that when her son plays a certain game that she loses audio and/or visual. She had to get him off, reboot maybe, and check that DoNotDisturb was on. That is maddening to not find out until you're done filming that the camera had already stopped. Thank you for talking about the angel card. Thank you for paging through the book for us. I might have to get the French copy to practice my rusty French. My parents tried to talk me into taking Spanish instead, it being more useful in Colorado, USA. Good luck with your neighbor.

I absolutely would not sign for the neighbor; veal is awful animal abuse. Poor baby cows. I'd be mad too. I love animals. My phone also stops recording if someone calls and I also leaned that the hard way. My neighbor called me 11 times in 5 minutes while I was on a call with someone else yesterday. I thought it must be an emergency so I got off my call and phoned my neighbor back. She wanted me to go to the store to buy her tea! Lately I've also been having issues with my editing software; Wondershare Filmora. It usually works well but lately it is erasing the audio from the second half of my videos when they export. I didn't even know it was happening because the audio was there as I was editing, but once I exported to KZbin it was gone half way through.

[@gordondickson7674]

Love it ❤

[@juditszepessy8936]

Beautiful picture!

[@SherryHill-k5y]

I found two pens that had white paint in them, and two gold ones at a dollar store last year. Now I can't find any more. They gave a wow to a painting-- yours looks inredible. Love your artwork. Sorry about what happened.

[@gaildine8028]

😂😅 I'm with you 💕 I've got a new computer and had all the stuff moved from the old one by an expert friend.... All was ok HOWEVER I've now lost EVERYTHING 😢 My friend has tried for an hour with no joy I'm now going to take both computers to his house so and can try and find where all my stuff has gone Yes Diane.... technology 😢😅

[@Ms1lonewolf]

Hopefully the rest of your day will treat you better than the first half. Happy Thanksgiving Day!!! 😊 JK FLORIDA USA 🇺🇸.

[@kindsprit4039]

I look forward to trying the new “golds” from your trying out last time- specifically the ones from “Etsy “

[@sharondoan1447]

Now I am upset with your neighbor, Diane! The foul stench that fills the air around a veal farm is very strong. I’ve only been near one, but for about ten years I passed it multiple days a week. I would try to hold my breath as I passed! The baby cows were housed in small white shed sort of buildings inside a rather small pasture area. Perhaps that was the problem. Whatever it was, it was bad. Who needs to eat a baby cow anyway? I support you being very firm about refusing to allow it if you can.

[@JasonTaylor-k4h]

Great content, as always! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@Anna-MarieDover]

Loved this. Your version looks better. Looks like you have an 'entitled' neighbour. Good luck. I wouldn't like that prospect either.

[@cowgirljane3316]

I'm sorry you lost all your content. on another subject. I use a butter knife to tear the pages off a block.🤪

[@christownsend9550]

How frustrating to have your filming stopped by an apparently pointless phone call! Very annoying for you and disappointing for us as we would have loved to have seen you paint the angel. Hey ho. Anyway, regarding the painted letters, in England we can get these in Hobbycraft, they are made of cardboard and I have painted and gilded these for Christmas in the past. Annie Sloan chalk paint covers well and comes in many colours.
