Bookmarks, a landscape and playing with new paints! Join me in the studio for a couple of hours of relaxing painting, as we explore together some new ideas. Let's take a look at the Finetec Coliro PearlColors and see what they can do on PaintOn black watercolor paper. Then we'll work on a snowy landscape with whimsical animals, and practise painting houses. And finally we will dash off three beautiful, seasonal bookmarks which would make ideal last-minute gifts or cards.
Easy simple to do watercolor painting projects for everyone to do. Beginner friendly art, step by step painting instruction, beautiful nature inspired designs anyone can create. Relax and create a peaceful haven in your life.

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...

The "Rule of Thirds" has been one of the best things I learned. Some of your 'gold' paints can mix with colors. I especially like it for the holidays. It makes everything look shiny and glittery. I've been wanting to buy those new ones you have for months. Us ''Mericans'' love those cottages. Our homes tend to look like card board boxes and 'cold'. Log cabins are awesome. I think I should have been born in the 1700's.

@DianeAntoneStudio Жыл бұрын

Hi Teri, you're right about all that! However, by far the majority of Brits don't live in cottages, they live in box-like houses or concrete apartment blocks. It's just a romantic illusion! And most of our houses are horribly badly insulated so they are either too hot or too cold! I'm with you on the log cabins! Wouldn't that be great, with the smell of pines?

Diane, i so enjoy your videos. After a long day as a nurse, it is so nice to come to the computer and watch your videos. I especially love hearing your animals. You are living my dream on the farm and painting every day. I have to say I laughed out loud tonight when you made the comment that your husband looked like Dr Zhivago. I moved to Chicago during the polar vortex 9 years ago. It was -25 degrees without the windchill and Chicago, of course is known for it's windy days. Nonetheless, my car also froze to the parking lot, flattened my tire and when my darling son came to assist, the car rolled forward off the jack.. It was definitely an adventure that I don't care to relive 🙂

I sure it alot of work but it would be nice if you did longer video once a month or every other month. Enough of my rambling. Thanks Diane and Tamsin for sharing your time.

Hi Bren, thanks so much for your message and comments. I am going to try to do longer videos regularly, and it's good to hear from you that you enjoy the longer ones. Sometimes we have time issues, or the internet is very slow and we need to keep the videos shorter. But soon we'll have fibre optic speeds and it'll be easy to do long ones. Meanwhile, I'll try to do a long one two or three times a month. All the best and thanks for your support!

Dianne, seeing you and your beautiful home and family is a special treat that I so look forward to. I can't tell you how much joy it brings to another old fart just starting out on my art journey. I have Multiple Sclerosis/severe advanced osteoarthritis (was childhood arthritis some 45+ year's ago) mixed in with life threatening allergies, so spend 50% of my life in bed (from where I paint too) and 75% in my tiny flat. I grew up on a sheep farm and so miss the many varied animals and general inspiration that life brings. Plus I must say I loved the first bookmark so much that I am going to have a go at producing something similar for my mother in law (art lecturer) for Christmas. So from one old long in the tooth goat, please carry on with your own wonderful inspirational videos in your own cheerful, don't give a darn manner.

Hi Claire, thanks so much for your lovely message and sorry for the delay in replying. I wanted to reply properly and sometimes it takes a while to get through the comments. I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos. Sorry to hear that you have major health problems. I can definitely empathise with that. Myself I have many allergies which cause me to live a very restricted life in some people's estimation, but I'm blessed not to have arthritis or anything worse than asthma and high blood pressure. I am so glad you are enjoying the videos. We are putting up one tonight with some clips of our sheep, and I don't know if you know about our little side channel From the Garden where we share videos of our animals and garden - here's a link to one of the videos. We will be putting up more content soon, so maybe you'll subscribe to it so you get notifications when we do add videos to it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rsWDdc-FvLjbm4U.html Thank you so much for your encouragement to continue with the channel, and I certainly hope to do so for years to come!

@@DianeAntoneStudio Thank you, Diane! I have been loving your channel! My studio has been primarily focused on oil painting with our master painter and dear friend, Richard Schmid, here in Putney, Vermont for the past 20 years. However, he died during Covid two years ago and is sorely missed. I will be re-opening the studio this summer after being closed throughout the pandemic. Will continue offering painting groups or workshops with those who studied with him or paint/teach in that genre of the grand manner. *(I do not teach and am not a professional artist). But secretly, I have to say, I prefer watercolors for the compactness and ease of traveling and for quick sketching, however, I have a LOT to learn! Cleaning watercolor brushes is also so such a dream! Richard, who could paint beautifully in all mediums, used to say that watercolor painting is the hardest medium of all to master-and he loved it. His oils just commanded higher prices to live on. . I am thinking we need to expand and offer watercolor workshops/painting groups. I never trained in watercolor, but dabbled a lot when younger. I do not have a lot of time to paint, so your exercises gave me a speedier sense of peace, joyfulness and contentment. I recently made all my thank you cards by painting your poppies in various ways. Friends and family think I am such great watercolorist now and want to frame them! Rather extraordinary after one, simple lesson! Perhaps, if you ever come to America, we should talk about teaching a workshop here! Meanwhile, I am so happy to observe, and occasionally play with, the ideas that you so kindly put out to the world. Know that you are spreading much joy, globally, to a world in great need!
