1 min into the video and i already love the education being given here. No other instructor I've come across has stressed the importance of self-expression in the way we use our tools, as you have. What you said touched ny heart as someone who considers themselves a "copy artist" fundamentally because of this reason. Thank you. I wished I had focused on this aspect more, sooner into my journey.
Without contest the best painting instructor of all the UA-cam vids I've seen! Down to earth and says the fundamental stuff, damn I wish more UA-camrs were like you.
Love it when a teacher is serious about having fun. Appreciate your stressing that each of us not only can create a unique expression we must do so. Thank you again for a great video.
What u say makes soooooo much sense-seeing for ourselves what our different brushes can do by playing with them, then we come up with our own interpretation-this is brilliant-thank you so very much and ty for doing the various brush strokes slowly!
Many thanks for the foliage strokes tutorial. You are a down-to-earth instructor and I do appreciate your knowledge, your time, and your beautiful talent.
I just have to say I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel. I'm very new to painting so I can use every tip you have! I love your explanations and demonstrations and the tips in general. I also wanted to add that you seem like a very nice lady and I really enjoy watching you. Thank you for taking the time to make all your videos. I truely appreciate all your hard work and time!
Thank You Diane!!! These tips are loaded with information. Very helpful. I would also like to mention, I am really enjoying your book : Finding Freedom to Create.
Thank you, Ms Mize. I always find your programmes helpful and informative. I often pass your advice (and links!) on to our students at the Angel Academy of Art, Florence. MJA
My pleasure. And just for the record, I DO have a book (two of them in fact), but check out Finding Freedom to Create.on Amazon - www.amazon.com/Finding-Freedom-Create-Painters-Roadmap/dp/1452596948/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525777429&sr=8-1&keywords=finding+freedom+to+create&dpID=41b8YrEHPHL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch
Thank you! I've been pondering ginko tree leaves for a painting and the last comma strokes, done both left and right, look to be perfect for their fan shaped leaves. I just purchased some filbert brushes in hopes they would be good for it. This video gives me confidence.
Thank you for your time. I really enjoy listenIng to you teach. I also enjoy watching your quick tips. I am working towards more time to open up and to be able to take a class this summer. I am tied up into May. I really need to learn my brushes. Thank you
Wow, an artist that actually tells people to get to know their brushes. I have always been partial to the filbert brush, and I can get it to do most everything I need. I have various sizes and bristles. I have other brushes too, but I keep picking up my filberts. Great video.
It's not so much which brush, but what you can make it do. That's why it's important to get to know its potential. Most of us will end up having our favorite brush and I believe that's part of our expression.
The only art teacher I came to see her videos from time to time, and again because they are so really what art should be taught, IMO. Every time I watch I discover new stuff to do on the same subject. Many artists here teach what they know and some are really good but Dianne Mize goes beyond that.
Thank you so much for providing us with these tips which are extremely helpful. I've been trying to figure out how to best do foilage (without much success I might add) so I am going to try your tips. One thing that I truly appreciate is that you want each person to have their own expression with their art, to find their own style and with your tips I'm sure I will find mine. Thanks again from a Canadian subscriber.
Thanks for that, Paula. You are right. My goal as a teacher has always been to help provide tools for each artist to express his or her individual uniqueness.
I took a class , I asked teacher to show the brush stroke , I can never forget her look 😏 made me dropped her class and start you tub learning . So far i think is the best decision i made . I truly appreciate you 👌💕
Mehdi Nadimi hi, have a look at kevinoilpainting channel. He has many full lessons available...oil painting wet into wet. Every video you'll learn something New...just need to really listen and watch...
Thank you once again Dianne, you've woken me up & my husband, who plays with watercolour, is reminded to play with his brushes too. Another great piece of encouragement.
Im currently painting a piece for a competition and I'm kind of stuck since it's mostly about nature that needed strokes for a specific details. I just find this out and it's really helpful. Appreciate this a ton!
You are an amazing teacher Diane. Thank You! I've bought some of your videos and worth every penny! my paintings have improve a lot. :) Love your approach, you make me think to learn :)
Oh, I am so grateful! You are amazing and help me so much. I have been playing around with paint for the past year and a half. These videos help a lot . Thank you! You seem like a lady I'd like to have tea with. 😁💕
Señora encantadora!! Me dá taanto gusto verla pintando y mejor aun enseñando todavia , la felicito por mantenerse tan activa 😙😗 y mostrarnos su arte..saludos desde Mexico 😉😀🇲🇽 ( soy abuela y me encanta la pintura tengo 59 y estoy aprendiendo mucho..)
Thank you so much!This is exactly what I needed! I am trying to paint leaves that I haven't seen before never mind paint before. Your 4th example is exactly what I needed! This leave has three of those points on it so now I know how to do and will hopefully get it the way I wish. :)
Absolutely! I can draw but when it comes to painting I’ve been doing along with my daughter she’s amazing, for about 3-4 years and am still Struggling ugh so I agree 100% get to know them brushes and what they do and the effects they’ll give off … great video thanks😊
Thanks for yet another great video! You're a brilliant teacher. Could talk about atmospheric perspective at some point? Maybe how you handle it in a forest vs. in a wider vista? Anyway, many thanks again for yet another excellent video. Take care.
I'll put this one on the schedule. I do want to say here, though, that there can't be just one way to paint bare winter trees against a light sky. The time of day, weather, whether cloudy or in direct sunlight, and species of trees as well as technique all play a part.
Can you do a tip video on how to how color temperature moves across left to right as well as from top to middle of flowering trees that are partly in light and partly in shadow ? I’m confused.
Candace, I'll see if I can put together a Tip that will clarify this. The warm/cool thingy can get confusing. One thing that might help is that any color, regardless of its inherent temperature (i.e. yellow-warm, blue-cool) will change according to the kind of light and its location to the direction of light. The change in temp of a flowering tree will be determined by the location of the sun, whether left to right, right to left or top to bottom.
Thank you for all your instructional videos! So much appreciate them!! Question: can you share brushstroke techniques for painting evergreens/conifers like pine, cedar and hemlock?
Shannon, I usually look at the image and ask "what do I know a brush will do to create that shape or texture. Try splaying the bristles of an old bristle brush, dipping the tips into the paint and placing just the tips to the canvas, give it a slight press and a flip in the directions you see the evergreen needles moving. I will put your request on our filming schedule, but there are so many ahead of yours plus we film these weeks in advance, so it won't appear until November or December.
Hello from Norfolk UK :) Just watched this and I love your suggestion that we find our own favourite strokes, rather than striving to copy other artists' strokes. I am, however, really struggling at painting a simple FINE long stem, such as seen on a lavender plant. I feel like it should be so simple, yet I just can't get it right, no matter what brush I use it keeps turning out too thick! I'm using acrylic enamels (on glass) and any suggestions or instructions would be so very very much appreciated please...thank you :) x
I'm not familiar with the techniques of enamels on glass, but I do know that if you use a flat brush on it's tip, you can get a thin line. I show that in Quick Tip 287 where I show three essential brushstrokes. Hope this helps.
You're the best instructor around. Please own how many people you truly help. No one can watch your videos without learning a ton. Thank YOU!!!
Wow! Thank YOU!

That's how it works with tools. It helps to know what they can do.
Also know how you compare to someone else, works with the same brush. Same brush can work so differently depending on who is using it. 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and experience, I am learning so much from your quick tips
I am always delighted to know that folks are learning from my teaching. Thanks.
