I painted a frog and Dragon fly just like this for our group art exhibition we hold every year here in Cornwall, He's been in three exhibitions now and he's never sold,so I can only conclude he doesn't want to leave home,so I'm putting him back on the wall as I love him ha ha, ?love your stories thank you ☺

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

There are paintings like that. Often the best ones don't want to leave!

[@Angie-pl3uw]

That is a good looking frog. And I too saw blue!

[@karenetaylor5758]

Happy Easter

[@mariaarno6003]

I can’t wait to try this one today! I love frogs and I smiled the whole time watching you paint this

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you so much 😀that’s so good to hear!

I am leaning to sketch and followed along as you drew your frog and I quite pleased with my 1st try at it. In trying out different pencils I have I got wiped out the highlight in the eye. I will go back with a white gel pen. This actually was practice on typing paper. I'll do several more practices to help me learn how to use my pencils and draw better. Thanks Diane for all your tutorials.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Welcome to the studio Ruth and I'm so glad you found us. If you can get hold of some 'cartridge' or 'sketch' paper you'll be much happier with your results. Here's a link to the sort of paper that doesn't cost much but will be better to learn to draw on. amzn.to/3LgUkfy

[@ctrgigi]

@@DianeAntoneStudio Thanks Diane for the suggestion. Ruth

[@mell5111]

Your comfortable explanations make me feel like I'm your only student. Thanks, I'm going to try this frog 😊 (but I want to finish your poppies first)

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate your comment, and good luck with your paintings!

[@ewwwobbie]

I don't know how I ever missed this video. We have tree frogs here on Vancouver Island. Tiny in comparison to dragonfly, lol. I've been painting them too!

[@love-light369]

Looks blue to me!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Funny isn’t it! That’s what my daughter said!

[@1171]

Diane I love it it made me think of Beatrix Potter and her stories and paintings were adorable and sometimes she would do similar to the frog and dragon fly. I absolutely adore it , I thank you for inspiring me even more than my imagination is making which I pray I live long enough to complete at 67 years ah young cough lol I started this year on changing from oils to water and goodness I have not the same capabilities. But with your work your showing me a better way than I thought I knew , Not ! I love learning from you and I’ve stopped exspecting myself to be A Great masters to many I did have perfection in mind when I began I was sketching very well at a young age and wasn’t painting until the 80s and I did well but as most self taught I was never good enough to suit myself. Anyway I’m here to learn and have fun and I so enjoy your style and I thank you yes I have thought s that are in another place and I just change up and do something else lol Diane thankful for you teaching me and all the others . Love your work!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Sharon, lovely to hear from you and a bit of your story. You're the same age as me and it's definitely never too late to change and to do something meaningful. My best advice would be the thing I've never managed to do myself, which is to stop judging your own work by other people's standards! Just paint, let it dry and then paint something else! Preferably give your work away if anyone will have it! Anyway, when I'm painting I am in a different place with fewer things to worry about, and that's the main thing nowadays. Don't you think so? Have fun, above all, and keep painting!

[@conniejenskindsfather979]

Have a tiny frog hopping in my weed patch. Woukdove to try to paint it. Moves so fast!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

How sweet!

[@joykeating7342]

[@patvickery6890]

You are so easy to follow along with! Thank you gor your little frog tutorial! Mine isn't too bad for a firstbtime!

[@susansullivan5203]

Diane, I am so enchanted by all of your drawing's and watercolor painting's. Have you by any chance published a book on your art, drawings and painting?

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

No, I haven’t been approached by any publishers so far! So glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@susansullivan5203]

@@DianeAntoneStudio Well I am and I really think that there is some publisher out there in the art world who is missing the boat. Your work is far superior to what I have seen out there.

[@lemondrop32]

adore this!!! Thank you!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

You're so welcome!

[@rabenschwartz]

Once again I feel transported to the wind in the willows or wathership down.... So beautiful! Thank you for that, Diane :)

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you Sylvia! I know I can always rely on you for a poetic and emotional response! Much more where that came from from my side - and somebody is going to be jumping into a package to set off on his journey to you soon!

[@EnjoyDrawingwithMary]

Great frog painting. Can you paint a landscape with boats as I am struggling with painting boats.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

I'll try to do a boat soon!

[@mesattley1]

Love your tutorials....you make water color so easy! How do you spell "conectodrom" gold? I would love to get some....but obviously don't know how to spell it! :)

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Marcia, so funny, it's spelt QUINACRIDONE GOLD and here's a link to it on Amazon! amzn.to/3NQgQ0Q It's the Winsor and Newton one, which is what I prefer to use, as it is not so orangey as the Daniel Smith one.

Thank you!

[@yetanotherentity]

If your watercolour pencils are a japanese brand, that might explain the blue being called green. Historically, the japanese language only had one word for blue and green. Both were called ao. They do, now, have a separate word for green, but it doesn't always get used, and so ao meaning blue will get translated to say green... So it's very possible that it's a translation thing. Just.. if it is made in japan! :D

[@xanderthecharmander8365]

I relate to tree frog trouble. They try to get into my living room every night. They are fiendishly difficult to catch.

[@LoganGottsacker]

The sketch for this isn't showing up on your website. When is it typically posted?

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Sorry about that. It’s just going up in a few minutes. We had a sudden interruption in workflow due to our shepherd arriving to shear our sheep unannounced!!!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

It's up now! Link is in the Community tab.

[@Wildflowerafternoons]

Love it! Coqui ?

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks Kat!

[@wandamurray3031]

diane , You state that the sketch download is free but when I went there it asked for money so I wanted to make sure you knew that1

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Wanda, the price you've seen is just a suggested price, and underneath that there is a box that says 'name your price'. You can enter any price you want, including $0.

[@kathysunshine699]

Am I the only one who thinks, the frog is about to have lunch?😮

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

No, not the first one!!!!!
