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...

I just LOVE how the vase of flowers turned out. You even said when the background didn’t turn out to impressive that sometimes they turn out to be what you really like the best 😄

Diane, this video is packed with surprises! I love the idea of making those handmade inspirational note labels to put onto cards and the possibilities are endless. The neurographic art is something I've done before and should do more often as it truly is a lovely relaxation exercise. The vase you made is stunning with all of the color variants, especially that purple. Just yesterday I was telling my sister that I'd revisited a 4 x 6 piece of paper with "blobs" that I thought was a failure, but in looking at it days later, I too saw a vase and bouquet in what I was planning on tossing, and here you are creating one. It just goes to show how much I've learned from you. I now save those paintings I don't like and either cut /punch them up into designs for added texture, or ink over them to create whatever vision I want. You are such an excellent and inspirational artist/teacher. Thanks for the added bonus at the end of the video with your beloved animals.

Thanks so much for this lovely thoughtful comment Carolyn! I’m so glad you’re enjoying creating new ideas and sharing them with others - it’s so important to do this! I’m happy that you also enjoy our family of (rather demanding) animals! We are lucky to have the space to have them!

Fun ideas! Are your Craftamo brushes similar in stiffness to your Drawell brushes? Seems they are stiffer than the Princeton Aqua Elite brushes. Love seeing your little farm.

@DianeAntoneStudio Ай бұрын

Yes they are! I use them interchangeably. The Princeton seems to have lost some of its spring recently and seems to be softer.

Was glued to this video as you drew out card by card. Seeing the vase for a bouquet of flowers was so inspiring for me as was defining flowers in the blobs. I once saw a dragon in the midst of playing with bands of color and brought it to life. Sometimes we have to let our eyes open to the possibilities. Thank you. ❤

Those stripes, the second thing on my sketch book. I named my book, little roch, tell me where you've been. It is an afghan I made for my parents before I joined the army. Lots of memories. My pictureswill be accompanied with the story behind it.

Haha - it just means you were so relaxed and in the art zone. :) I do like the neuro graphic art. I tend to have some anxiety(or something) and bite on the inside of my mouth. It makes me crazy. Hard to stop but when I'm creating neuro graphic art I don't do it. Too bad I can't create all day. Thank you so much for the video! And I really loved all the pretty art especially the play with all the different colors/words.

@DianeAntoneStudio Ай бұрын

That’s interesting, I used to do that a lot as a child and still do sometimes. I have no idea why I do/did that, crazy isn’t it! Glad you enjoyed the video!

I would love to see you spin and more sheep paintings please! With pansies lol, hugs grace in Vermont

I've been trying really hard to paint even loose florals and struggling (and with hand arm issues). But I decided to make bookmarks and ATC cards (no I won't be trading) in little paper frames to give to friends. I just started yesterday. I'm trying just 3 colors for backgrounds then mixed media for mark making but it's hard.....soooo MANY decisions!! Do I even have enough band with for this? LOL. then this vid came up this afternoon and I've gone to town. Your colors, my colors, your wonderful ideas for marks and I even came up with some cool stuff myself! I just now came up for air as this ended. I feel tired,(normal for this) but elated at the same time, I've created 7 really cool bookmarks. Thanks for this....what I needed and it was fun. Really did feel like I was there painting away with you. Thanks so much for this.

@DianeAntoneStudio Ай бұрын

Hi Kathy! I do believe that my videos are inspired by a need that is out there - I don’t know what that need is, or who the person is, but I paint what I’m “told” to paint. Your experience of finding this video just right at the right time tells me that it found its mark. So glad you enjoyed it and that it was helpful, I know things have been hard for you lately and you’re a hero to keep going with the art, keep it up, it’s the only way to really heal, I do believe. Take care, love Diane xxx

@chrisanndunn8814 Ай бұрын

That was really nice, playing guess what card is next. You haven’t painted a cute little animal in a while for us. I think the face of a fox is so precious….would you paint a fox sometime soon? Thank you.

Hi Diane. I recently learned from Shayda Campbell that white gel pens work best on top of an ink based pen/slash brush. Some like archival ink or Pitt pens. They don’t work well on anything water based. I’m guessing that this also applies to metallic gel pens as well. I don’t have any inktense pencils but they might work too.

J aime toutes tes petites cartes , le bouquet est mon prefere , les fleurs aussi , mais ils sont tous bien . Les couleurs sont magnifiques , le neurographique art il faut rajouter les cercles ca a la signification du moi et ce que tu veux faire entrer ou sortir du moi . Bon , je ne suis pas specialiste pour expliquer . J adore ton couteau il est vraiment beau . C est sympa ce tour dans ton jardin a dire bonjour a tout ce petit monde vivant , je me demande ou tu trouve l energie pour faire autant de choses , il y a vraiment beaucoup de travail ! As tu le temps de dormir un peu pour te reposer . Prends soin de toi , merci pour ces belles videos que tu fais . Bises a bientot mon amie

Bonjour Françoise, et merci pour tout. Je ne me rappelle plus du méthode neurographique et j’ai seulement fait ce qui m’est revenue dans la tête sans faire référence au internet - j’ai déjà passé trois heures à faire ce vidéo et ça suffisait ! Oui il est beau le couteau, je ‘ai trouvé a un vide grenier quelque part ici en Bretagne. J’en ai plusieurs je pense. Quoi faire avec? Trops de « choses » dans mon hangar! Bonne journée a toi, bises et à bientôt !
