You are so right you can never paint enough flowers! The earth laughs in flowers!🌼💐🌹🥀🌺🌷🏵️🌻💕

I'm 78 and have only been painting for 2-3 years. I often get discouraged with my perceived lack of progress, but when I do get that way I go to a Diane Anton video to get some inspiration and encouragement. Thank you so much for making these for us. 😍

Thank you for mentioning hour long you have been painting roses. I was watching and thinking about how effortless you made it look. I am always so critical of myself. I just started using watercolor less than a year ago. I blame my parents for always wanting perfect children and frequently reminding us that we were not as good as … well anyone

Diane, it's so wonderful seeing absolutely beautiful YOU in your art studio. Thank you for sharing the new set of paints you received. All of my greatest artist tips, I have received from you. I love these Kuretake paints, and yes, they are life shattering! Although it's sometimes nice to stuff mushrooms, it's really nice to have the option for ready made :) Your painting is lovely. Lottie is beautiful and you can feel her spirit. My take on her gazing at your through the glass door...she doesn't care how sunny and warm the day may be, there is absolutely no better way than to spend the day sitting beside you!

Annie Lennox, and thank you for swatching the Art Nouveau set and showing some of your artwork. It was incredible

Diane slowly but surely getting me to dip my toes, heck my entire leg, into these Kuretake Gansai paints. Kuretake is such a good art/stationery company anyway. Waiting for a price drop to snatch this set. The colours are gorgeous.

That's a really quick and pretty sketch done in so little time, that shows how much practice you've had 😍 Thanks for sharing Diane 💗

Hi Diane you are a woman after my own heart I ordered these three days ago and waiting on them arriving from Amazon. I love the Kuretake paints as their colours are so vibrant and when this new set came out I loved the colour palette so decided on an early birthday present despite my birthday not being until May. Awh well it’s International women’s day today so I’m being strong, determined and I’m getting them. Happy International Women’s day to all us women. Xx

I love sets that are special. This one is definitely special

The colors are lovely - your painting is lovely, Diane! I can add it to my cart on Amazon, but delivery is given as March 30 - April 19, so I checked ebay as I always do and just snagged a brand new set for only $2 more ($38.99 instead of Amazon's $36.99). It will be shipped First Class for free - I am so excited - I should have it in less than a week! 😍 (Are you thinking of Annie Lennox??!!)

Hi Diane loved your sample of the new water colour paints. Always njoy listening to you too. Thank you have a wonderful day.

Love those paints. Can’t wait till I can afford more.

I just treated myself to the limited edition 100 color set (from Amazon). I LOVE these paints. So creamy. And, not only are the pans numbered, but the palette is numbered so you always know where to put them back. The limited edition is packaged in an exquisite, Asian-style, 4-tiered wooden case. In the US here. Can’t wait to start using them. Thank you for sharing your art. Note: Names are in English as well as Japanese.

I’ve been painting with these for months and never noticed that the colors relate to each other in rows!

These are beautiful colors! You can make roses in a flash! Gorgeous.

So much to learn about colors. Thanks!

Diane, thanks so much for introducing us Kuretake paints! I got the set of 48 for Christmas from my wonderful husband and LOVE them!! Now I’m looking forward to getting the lovely Art Nouveau set!💕. I look forward every day to watching your videos!!

This set looks lovely, there’s so many unique shades 😊

Thank you for the valuable information! Always a pleasure learning from you.

Annie Lennox!! 😆 I love these colors, especially the soft pinks, mauves and greens, I must look into them- Thank you and greetings from NYC!! 🤩🤗🗽💖🕊️🌹

You do it so easily. I'll just have to practice. You are so talented 😊

very enjoyable...gotta get practicing

Annie Lennox!!!!! I wish I could copy and paste the conversation I was JUST having with my daughter. We were talking about her. 😂 when you couldn't think if her name I'm surprised you couldn't hear me screaming ANNIE LENNOX!!! I went straight to Amazon on hopes they hot these paints in, but no luck. I'm going to keep my eyes open though. They are BEAUTIFUL!!! I love your new intros. ❤

Glad you finally got that set you'd been waiting for. Lovely delicate floral design!

I love the kuretaki paints, I have some of them, hopefully get these when back in stock.

Thanks so much for the recommendation, Diane. I have another set of Kuretake Gansai Tambi, but there is something soft and muted with the Art Nouveau colors that I love. I used your link to U.S. Amazon to order. ☺

I am so excited that you've finally got this wonderful set of paints. They are inspiring, and very fun. Looking forward to grouping the paints according to each row as you shared, letting my imagination go with the flow. Will anxiously wait for your new ideas. Again thank you. Blessings

A drop of brandy might make the inside warmer. I can’t wait to try these!!!! I so enjoy my other set I bought after seeing you use them. Thank you for sharing it with us.

LOVELY!!! So soft and gentle. Loving my large set of Kuretake…per your recommendation, of course!

Yay I finally got my art nouveau set. They're a lovely set of convenience colors.

Hello there! I ust received my Kuretake Art Nouveau set, after 2 months on backorder. But it was worth the wait. I enjoyed your demo - just lovely! By the way, in my set, they have a smallish swatch card on the underside of the box cover, with the color names shown and space for a small swatch. I can't wait to play with my new paint set on Boxing Day. We don't have Boxing Day in the U.S., but I celebrate it, notwithstanding ;) Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year! Carol in Boston PS - I gave up stuffing mushrooms years ago! They taste just as good if you halve them, put them in a baking dish, and bake them until the stuffing starts to brown and crisp. Also, I was a big Eurythmics fan, too. I saw her on TV recently, and she looks great!

This does look like a really good choice of colors, a collection that I have not seen put together before and also one I love! Can’t wait to see what you do with them! Thank you for bringing them to us!!💕

My favorite Kuretake set yet! I love them 😍

Wow on the color selection!

I have a journal like this I’ve added poetry, sayings, sketches and ramblings to…whatever was on my mind at the time…love yours!

This Kuretake set has been hard to come by. I did finally get mine but have not painted with them yet. What a great observation about the curated palette in each row. I had not noticed that until you pointed it out. Yes to Annie Lenox. What a great voice.

Those truly are dreamt! I could not afford the box of 48 but had to have so got the set of 12. The swatch 'card' was printed in the lid of the box.....thought that interesting. Anyway, Thanks again for sharing this. Did splurge and ordered a box of the art nouveau from Blicks.....of course on back order.....sigh😀

Your Journal is soo gorgeous - love your videos - I feel like I' there with you :)

So fun to watch and listen to you Diane!!

i just ordered these paints - you talked me into it.

You are so much funnier than you probably know! I have just put down a low carb recipe book - aging prediabetic has been - and was genuinely considering stuffing mushrooms. I might now just go and daub something instead. Thanks for all you do Diane

I love the Kuretake paints. Beautiful flowers!! Perfect colors!

Love this set of colors and the others by Kuretake. Also I loved your conversation today. I needed a smile. Thank you.

Thank You 🙏 Diane …..You made me laugh so hard saying someone had their head screwed on right ….lol …I so needed a laugh 😂…Bless You

Gorgeous colors

The 24 pan set fits perfectly in the smallest Masterson stay wet palette

BEAUTIFUL pallet!

I have these and you’re right…they are gorgeous!

I love that so quick and it's beautiful soft colours Thanks Diane 🌸🌺

Wow, another Kuretake set! I am so tempted! Beautiful colours, more muted. Thank you so much for introducing this set to us!

I've been looking for this set for ages - couldn't find them anywhere. Followed your link and bought them straight away! Thanks!

I love art supplies! Just got the Kuretake Gansai 100 colors limited edition wooden box and can’t wait to try them out! Thank you for sharing! Love the flowers.

I just got my Kuretake set today! I am so delighted and can't wait to find the project I want to do. I think the colors will inspire me! Thanks for the suggestion💖

🐦Diane! There you are in your studio! I knew I'd find you😹 thank you for sharing and teaching and of course just enjoy listening to you. Also like being reminded of Annie Lennox, always liked her. Such a pretty painting, made me think of shabby chic. I need that Kuritake set! 🎨bye bye now

Informative the Kuretake Art Nouveau set Tutorial👍 Thank you very much🍀

Love love Annie Lennox! I'm so anxious to get this set. Found some available on Blick's on the 20th!

Those are beautiful colors for sure. Will have to get a set when possible. Thank you for sharing the little practice and allowing us to see how these colors look.

I love mine they are delicious 😋 😍 💕 lovely painting and thank you for pointing out the ready made colour schemes very helpful 😀 😊

Love this! Amazon in the US does not have this set at the moment. However, for those in the US who cannot wait, Simon Says Stamp does carry this set. I would be one included in the “cannot wait” category. That said, I paid dearly. The cost is $39.99 plus tax and shipping. Thank you Diane for your wonderful videos!

Oh my! A new item on my wish list! MUST get these! I have become a huge Kuretaki fan! Inspiring indeed. Thank you! Oxo❤️

Kuretake also put the names of the colors underneath each individual pallete, which is very helpful❣️

Oh yes! This is so very pretty 😍 🌸🌹 I love this

Just lovely; thank you so much Diane! I have a small set (18) of Kuretake paints and I didn’t get a separate swatch page but there was one printed on the inside of the cover. I really relate to trying to limit consumption of art supplies, but it is hard! Thanks again!💕💕💕

Beautiful!

Full steam with Annie Lennox, sea of beige reference. Always loved Annie since her Eurythmics days. Beautiful colours, pastels. Love them.

There is a provided swatch card on the inside of the lid with the color names and numbers. It is easy to miss with the way they packaged the set.

Really nice set of colors!

Yay!!! I’m so excited to receive these beautiful paints- Art Nuevo Set- All your artwork is beautiful & amazing so thank you for sharing these paints- I have their other sets of paints you have recommended 😊🎨but like you said I live in Mpls, USA so I won’t receive the paints for awhile- Something to look forward too!!!!!! 🎨🩰Maria🌺

Dick Blick in the US has this set for $28. Ordered yesterday and it’s on back order, but expected to ship by 3/20. Excited!

Thanks for the demo, I ordered the art nouveau set and can't wait to try it. My paints presently are artists loft, so this should be a nice change.

I bet when you get a package from Kuretake you feel like it's Christmas. You really love their paints. When I need watercolors I need to give them a try!

Sometimes it comes up as “ muted colors” Karetaki watercolor Sets.. online and and you tube. (It is the same set) Also if you live in the U.S. google St.Louis Art supply and They have it NOW🎉 …..And “Blick”said they will be coming to their online store.(unless their provider Is sold out or back ordered March 20th… Good luck!👍🤓 Edited to add cost at At St. Louis 36.00 dollars and some change maybe but with Shipping it is 45.54 dollars (give or take a few cents). It is only 28.00 dollars from Blick but 9.99 for all orders under 50 or 59 dollars shipping,if they do get them

Beautiful colors! Your roses are so pretty.

I love those pinks!!! I’m being good at the moment and trying not to buy! Buttttt 😂

My 24 set of the original colors arrived today and they are a game changer. Come out of the pan so readily. With these and your beautiful lessons I am going to enjoy playing with watercolor so much more. I would love to have ALL the colors but trying to limit the spending right now. I kept saying Annie Lennox, but I guess you couldn't hear me. 😁

Amazing learning about Kuretake Art Nouveau colors, I’ve been hearing about them but have never used them! I will try to find them, your example really got me paying attention. I love watch win you paint and hearing your explanations. Thank you and I’m on the lookout for Kuretake Art Nouveau paints! A constant learner, thanks you, Karen Dirmish 24:15

I have been after the first Art Nouveau set for blinking ages in the UK! If this set is still available next payday, then I shall be buying one!

I KNEW this was going to be 'dangerous'! 🤣 I NEED these. Love the way you took us through this set and also that tip on the paper, and yes, I will be ordering a set as soon as I possibly can. I can get them for just shy of $62aud Oh those cartoons from France ... love them. Manga for me is a bit of a hit and miss although a couple of my children love them. Thank you for sharing your experience and love of painting Diane.

HAHAHA! After I searched for the paint and restarted the video, I heard that you came up with Annie Lennox's name! I love her voice, by the way! Also, by the way, both Amazon and the ebay seller both show a swatch card with names for the colors! Some are "normal" like alizarin crimson and potter's pink, but some are more "inventive," like saffron yellow and billiard green! I do have a question, Diane - I have some Canson XL watercolor paper that is 300 gram, 140 lb. - what would be the difference between this and the mixed media paper in the sketchbook? I must admit - I don't like the Canson I have and use it for testing colors or practicing strokes - I do love my Arches!

Bingo! Lol Just started watching. 😁

Annie Lennox ♥️

Great video and great set! But the link for US Amazon is not for this set, it’s on Blick art!😍😃

Annie Lennox, the Eurythmics, don’t think we are not paying attention.❤

Tintin (by Hergé) is from Belgium actually. 😊

You make it look so easy! I’m trying to go from acrylic to watercolours and finding it so hard. I know I’m not using enough water but it’s very alien to me still. I will keep trying though, the roses are just beautiful x

♥️

It seems like Michael's stores carries the Canson type papers here in the US.

☺️💖☺️💖

Annie Lennox

I bet there is a perfectly good swatch card on the inside of the top cover of that Kuratake box if you look. That's where I found it on my set of 36 colors. And you are right, I love the colors too!

Le pays de la bande dessinée, c'est la Belgique 😉

I bought this set as a Christmas gift to myself and had only swatched it. This demo inspired me to go paint some abstract flowers 🎉 Thank you ❤

oh, let Lottie in, sweet girl

I just love these paints and received mine last week after a months wait for restock. We are in Gers 32 and the art shops are few and far between, although Cultura is handy but quite a trek.

My set will be here tomorrow!! They are hard to find!!

The names are on the green cover and on the back of the pans ❤ hope this helps!

Diane, I just ordered this set from Dick Blick in USA for $30! Amazon is charging $49.00 for the same set and there is only one seller, so no chance to compare prices!

Those colours look lovely. When I first started water colouring 4 years ago, I bought the original Gansai Tambi 24 colour set. I loved them and still use them now; but just to let you (and others) know - the link you’ve got here for Amazon UK , takes me to that original set, and not to the Art Nouveau collection. It appears to be out of stock everywhere in the UK sadly.

You're just trying to tempt us to buy more paint 😂 My iPad is dying & I'm TRYING to put off getting it fixed as long as possible bc I already spent way too much on Rosa's single pigments, a few more DS PRIMATEK mineral paints and about 6pans of handmade single pigments a friend made without clove oil or honey for me to test oh.. And did I tell you about my new "swatch book" discovery? I got them yesterday! It has 18 4x6in pages (maybe a bit smaller) Baohong artist grade, 6 CP, BP & ROUGH, in booklet form! I'm going to put 2 together & make a cover. I also got 6 separate large sheets of HP to cut up and add, specifically for my Chinese chip paints & ink sticks. Xuan paper is a pain to try and do booklet form bc we have to keep felt under the page until it dried. I have some accordion books of semi-sized, but it's just too much of a hassle. These art nouveau ARE on my list though! They are beautiful!

This sketchbook is available in the US, it just has a different cover and is 8.5x5.5 instead of A5, it’s $6.95 at blick now. The paint is $28 on blick and the website said it will be in stock March 20th. I checked the store not far from me any they only have the regular sets in stock
