Watercolor Lakeside Landscape with Kuretake Gansai Paints and Hake Brush - Did it work? You tell me!

Today I’m recreating a simple lakeside landscape similar to one I painted on the very first video I put on my channel three years ago. I’ll show you how to use the special characteristics of these Gansai Tambi paints to add character and texture to your landscapes, whilst still keeping the beautiful transparent watercolor look we all love.
Materials...
Paint
I used Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints...
Kuretake Gansai Tambi Graphite Colors amzn.to/3SdzEd3
...but you could use any brand of students’ or professional watercolours equally successfully, in which case I would suggest these colors:
Cadmium Orange tinyurl.com/cs...
Cadmium Scarlet / Cadmium Red tinyurl.com/xt...
Indigo tinyurl.com/4z...
Ultramarine Blue tinyurl.com/mn...
Indian Red / Burnt Sienna tinyurl.com/yj...
Ivory Black tinyurl.com/fx...
White Gouache tinyurl.com/4p...
Brushes
Medium sized Hake goat hair brush
Ron Ranson Pro Arte Hake Brush amzn.to/3eIvICj
Large size 12 round nylon brush
Sharp implement to scratch with
Paper
I used a sheet of TH Saunders watercolor paper but any 140lb cellulose or cotton cold press watercolor paper will be fine for this painting.
-----------
In all my watercolor tutorials, I show you a simple painting for beginners in detail and in real time. By painting along you will learn all the techniques you need to create amazing art. Your watercolor skills will improve quickly when you practice these easy paintings! Whether you want to paint bookmarks, greetings cards, embellishments for junk journals, gifts or ambitious landscapes, you’ll gain confidence and experience by trying my projects.

Your painting and your sense of humor are both delightful!😊❤️

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks Carolyn!!!!

[@kathleenburke4728]

My daughter had a set of these kuretake paints (36 pans) she didn’t use too much but I now inherited them. I love you painting and I will try this. If I lived In the UK you would definitely get my vote! Yes! I love listening to you. Thank you for making my days a bit brighter.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

I hope you enjoy the paints, I do find them very liberating and I think you will too! Thanks so much for your support and I hope you continue to enjoy the videos!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you everyone!

[@elaineg60]

LOVE my Kuratake paints! I use them in both my Western & Chinese watercolors with ink! 🤫. Don’t tell my tutor 😂. She asked me a few days ago which color chips I had mixed for my lovely fall colors..”you DID use our Asian paints, right?” OF COURSE! I just didn’t tell her which Asian country they came from! Some of my chips just don’t create the vibrancy you get from these Japanese paints. Also, when I mount my painting, it’s my understanding Kuratake is safe for wet mounting..just to make sure, I might dry mount, come to think of it. Thank you for this! Now..back to attempting some miniature peonies…still trying to get the brush & strokes right with small brushes (I’m used to loading 3 colors on my much longer goat brush..this “experiment” is taking some improvising…I might switch to Gongbi style-which is much more detailed, done with sketches on a Xuan paper I guess you could compare to a thinner hot press western paper) PS Giggled about your prime minister quip..certainly you would be better & last longer than iceberg lettuce ! 😂

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Elaine, thanks for your interesting message. I don’t know much (anything?) about oriental painting although I do possess some Chinese ink, rice paper and a book about it, which I think I was given by someone many years ago. I’m sure it’s a wonderful art to learn but there are no teachers here - maybe I’ll have a look on KZbin and find out a bit more. So glad you’re enjoying the tutorials and the banter, look forward to hearing from you again x

[@margaretlee5006]

Oh yes please then you can teach the nation to paint. You certainly couldn’t do any worse than the current lot 😂

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks! That would indeed be hard!

[@cindycreateforlife]

I love my Kuritake paints, they use honey as a binder in some of the colours. Love your painting!💕🇨🇦

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Oh thank you!

[@OhJodi69]

I LOVE your videos! I believe "Hake" is pronounced "hockey", just as the Japanese wine "Sake" is "sockey". And Kuretake.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Yes, in England we would say HAKE is pronounced HAR KAY!!

[@sunnycharacter]

So relaxing to watch, love this! Have you seen the new Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI New 24 Color Set II “Art nouveau”? I just ordered them from Amazon and should arrive tomorrow. So excited for the new shades!

[@marlbboro8091]

🤣🤣🤣 if not me then who, 🤣🤣 I am crying. Love your humor. And I love your work, your tutorials and your subjects , so inspirational. I have confidence in myself thanks to these videos. Buying all three books of your digital books. sorted my address problem out at Spring - it was a simple case of ‘intel inside, idiot (me) outside! (Gen x will remember the slogan Intel Inside 😛)

[@janeb9699]

[@francoisedoutre9411]

Nice. Had a good laugh at your comments (Prime Minister).

[@amandamentiplay5618]

I can’t believe you didn’t get the call up. Parliament would definitely be more entertaining if you’d been voted in.

[@marjorieclinton6780]

I love it when you make art seem so doable. And of course I love the type of paint you use. My spell check still won't let me just say kurataki the correct way. But it is getting closer to it. You make your videos so entertaining and I absolutely look forward the little thing Bill letting me know that you left another video. I bet you would make a wonderful prime minister.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks so much Marjorie for your lovely comments! And thanks for your confidence in my possible alternative career! But I think I’ve settled on staying where I am - I would miss you lot too much!

[@marjorieclinton6780]

Well if you ever get really bored with painting LOL just hop across the pond and join our political system. You'll have a wonderful time using you're wonderful communicating skills. We could use a new head of state. Nah stay where you're at it's stress level will be less.

[@wendycomiskey4363]

[@supermom-nocape9831]

I'm so glad you did that first video and all the ones afterwards! I'd love it if sometime you'd show us your video set up. Your videos along with Ellen Crimi Trent's are my favorites because I can actually see what you're doing. I'd love to learn how you film them to achieve such awesome videos.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

That’s such an interesting comment! My set up is really simple, just a little cantilevered arm that holds my iPhone over top of my painting. My daughter Tamsin does all the editing, which is (I think) fantastically good, turning a straightforward amateur video into a work of art. I’m biased of course, but she is very good at this and has really been the reason for the success of the channel. I’ll try to share the set up in a video soon. I watch Ellen too, she’s a good artist x Thanks for your support, much appreciated!

[@supermom-nocape9831]

Thank you@@DianeAntoneStudioyour daughter does an amazing job editing.

[@ritavansimaeys8226]

Too kind Delphine, you wouldn’t want to hear my thoughts on the idea of Boris Johnson coming back as PM again! So glad you enjoy the videos, you are a great support to the channel! xxx

[@suemurphy9421]

Just finished this. Came out great! You’re the best, you would make a wonderful Prime Minister! Just checked Amazon, you’re paint set is now under $36.00. I just snapped one up! You teach in a way that makes painting fun and less intimidating. Love the animals too.

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

That’s really brilliant Sue, so glad you enjoyed it! And really good news about the paints going down in price, what a bargain! Wish we could get them for that low price over here in France, but they’re still good value for me at just under €50. Glad the painting turned out well! Thanks so much for your support!

[@vikkigherzi9933]

Looking forward to using my kuretake paints for a landscape. Selfishly, I'd prefer that you do not get elected PM...otherwise I might have to start following Liz Truss' youtube painting tutorials. But on the bright side, I'd only have to endure that for the next 44 days. 😉

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

LOL!!!!So funny Vikki! Can you imagine what her tutorials would be like? Actually she reminds me of some of the worst primary school teachers that I’ve encountered over the years. Imagine going down in history as the shortest term as PM in the history of the British nation. Gulp!

[@joycesnodgrass7068]

Good luck with that phone call!🥰 She surely made a mess before she resigned😐

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thanks Joyce!! I can’t wait!!!

[@wimjanssen2181]

My 55 th. 😂😂 you must have had a fun time painting this one. Thankfully you didn't get the job of prime minister! I enjoyed the making of this landscape with a hake. Our two sons joined us the last two days of our holiday and played cards with my wife while I watched this video. I laughed quite a bit and my son next to me ask what was so funny about a picture😂😂. ( I had my ears in) so thanks again for sharing Wim😊

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Wim, that is so funny! I can see your son is sitting there, giving you sideways looks every time you chuckle! Glad you enjoyed this painting, it was a lot of fun and I’m so glad to be able to share it with you! Happy painting and bon voyage!
