You are a national treasure! I bought your book, Finding Freedom to Create. I love it and recommend it to EVERYONE. I also just tried your Gamsol/Poppyseed oil method and boy did that make a difference! In addition to watching all of your KZfaq videos, I am looking at the DVDs to buy some of those. My only wish? You made a T-shirt that said "Just a liiitle bit....". I'd buy that in a heartbeat!

Your knowledge, skill and artistry are 2nd to none, Dianne and you explain things in a way that I can understand. Thank you so much for sharing.

I am seeing a video with no Dislikes for the first time.. Till this day and time 07 Mar 2019... Thank you dear Dianne for that good lesson.

I have done it like this, it really does work and give the illusion of detail right of the hop and quickly gives a landscape sketch takes ,care of the little shadows .

I am fascinated with how this is an extension about the under-painting that I was just commenting on another lesson (about painting grasses). Again the worth of this lesson is going to make a big difference in the next painting I attempt.I LOVE this lesson; it forces me to be aware of the need for planning what I want to paint...forcing me to work up my sort of "rough draft".

You're a gem Dianne! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent with the world!! Well wishes to you & yours, x0 💙💜🖌🎨

Thank you for all you do - I treasure your videos.

Ma’am, thank you so much, I appreciate your lessons. Your videos are an immense assistance....to my progression. Thank you.

thanks so much Dianne, very helpful and so generous

You are just such a lovely woman to share your awesome skills! Appreciated!!!

Thank you for this. I needed that reminder. I have been experimenting with underpainting tones and your video let me know what I was missing.

You made this so clear to me in a way I can understand the importance of the underpainting I love art and what I have learned is from artist like yourself . Thank you for sharing.

This was just the video I needed to clarify underpainting lift out!!! It was so helpful! Thank YOU! 😊 I really appreciate you and your videos! 😊 ❤️

Thank you Dianne. This is so helpful. Much appreciated!

You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you ! Watching you from Brasil with gratitude

Excellent tips, you’re such a great teacher.

Thanks for the info.. I’ve been trying very similar approaches to my watercolors and gouache pieces .. the underpaintings are very helpful to get better contrasts of lights and darks , and helps me to stay focused on values ,as well . Thanks again ..

Thank you ❤ you are one of the best teachers I have found. God bless you in all good things life has to offer.

Simple things in the beginning help so much . Including evaporating the solvent thank you so much.

Thank you, Dianne. Very useful tip 🌹

Thanks, Dianne. You always manage to come up with some very helpful info. I've been using Jackson's water-soluble oils for some time now and I'm very pleased with them. They would be ideal for this approach to the start of a painting. I'll give it a try on my next work of art.

Thank you kindly. I appreciate your expertise with this method. :)

I love your videos. Your artwork has a beautiful dreamy quality. Even your little background painting is just so pretty. Thankyou for the quick tip. :)

Very good Video. Learned a lot of new techniques!!

Thanks Dianne. I often use an under painting and find that when I do, the outcome is usually better than if I had not. This also gives you less struggles along the way.

Your tips are so helpful - thank you so much for sharing 😊

Such a good tip. I am going to try working this way on my next project. It feels right to me because I really kinda don't like drawing on a canvas with anything. This seems a great way to get a feel for the desired composition in an organic way. It's interesting how each person has a preferred method and I think this method might be right up my alley. Thanks Dianne :-)

Excellent demo. Very clearly presented. Thank you.

Beautiful- thank you for sharing. Great tutorial!

Thanks a million for sharing this timeless and powerful tip. Greeting from Mexico master.

Great video I love to paint with the wipe out method working with big shapes and values I find I get much better results than using a linear method

Wonderful demo!!

Thanks, your schooling is invaluable

That was a great lesson!

Great tip In "mural painting" some of us call it "toning the canvas" and/or "blocking it in" However it is all relative to like you said to basic "Color Harmony" and setting the light and dark values. Very nice work, Very clean. I love landscape painting. Actually I like it all
