Thanks so much for sharing your pallet invention. Lovely bells. I takes me back to grade school when each kid got a whole chalk board for displaying our art. Parents walked through our 3 roomed school house and went to our Christmas play before we were released for Christmas vacation.

It is such a pleasure and a great learning experience to watch you paint. You make it look effortless. I thank you for all I am learning from you, and applying to the things I am painting apart from your tutorials. I see my own style peeping out, but your techniques are such a great influence on me. I still love watching you paint, painting with you, and I love your brushes! ❤

This brings me right back to my childhood in the 1950s, in London, England. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing 😊. Lovely painting Diane, and a great idea for the pallet.

@DianeAntoneStudio 8 ай бұрын

Yes, I think that’s true for me too, as I talked about the bell Christmas card I never painted at school for the competition - that would have been in 1964!

@annehebert6959 8 ай бұрын

That palette idea is brilliant. I might try this as I don't use my Kuretake paints as often as I would like. I am glad your brushes sold out - I can hardly wait now to receive them. These quick little christmas ideas are great as I do my own cards for Christmas and these are fabulous. thank you so much.

Bonjour Diane , j aime bien comme tu as arrange tes aquarelles , c est vrai que les kuretake ca manque d un espace pour melanger . Elles sont pas mal tes cloches bien colorees ca fait Noel . C est vrai que quand on regarde un dessin beaucoup plus tard on le voit autrement . Moi je reviens souvent dans un dessin qui me plait pas . Ce que j aime dessiner a Noel c est des santons . Je te dis tout ca juste pour partager un peu avec toi qui je suis , a vrai dire je suis ton oppose , c est ce qui m attire . Bises a bientot mon amie ... Ah ! tu sais qu il y a des cloches autour du cou des vaches et elles sont tres jolies et le cuir qui les maintiens de vrai petites oeuvres d art ...
