@@DianeAntoneStudiothank you for doing these tutorials in such a clear and easy to follow way, I honestly would’ve given up by now if I hadn’t found your channel.
I watch your videos all the time and love your stories! I would love to try this set. It has so many beautiful looking colors to try. Thank you for sharing your art wisdom and encouragement.
Thank you Diane , for the opportunity you give us to win a watercolor set! Of course I would love to be the winner, but we are all winners, just by having you as part of our creative art life! You are an inspiration and a muse!
When is the cut off and how exactly could I possibly win? I so much desire to learn how to use water colors. It's been a long time since I took any art classes. Life is sad in many ways, but watching how beautiful to see swirling colors blend make me feel happy!!!
I've just retired after over 25 years working with children who have special needs or learning difficulties. I started watercolour as a way to relax and fill my time, but now I have become completely obsessed. I find your videos so relaxing to listen to and follow.
What a beautiful set of paints. I live in Canada and will await the arrival of the paints to Canada. They look fantastic. I love your teaching style and your honesty. It is always a big pick me up to watch your videos. Thank you Diane ❤
I love watching your videos! Thank you for being so descriptive, and patient. I’m just learning watercolor painting. I just retired from public education after 25 years, and thought this would be something enjoyable and relaxing. It’s going to take some work for me, though, because I’ve never been able to be loose enough to let all the elements of watercolor work. Wish me luck!
I appreciate your generosity in your free videos that inspire me. I am trying to learn as a retiree. Watercolor helps my depression. Paints are expensive and a valuable tool to have.
Hi Diane! I love the fall bookmarks so much. Fall is by far my favorite season, and I would love this set of watercolor paints to make my own bookmarks. My family is full of avid readers. Thanks so much for your generosity and inspiration. I look forward to all of your videos. 😊
I can’t wait to see your paintings after you’ve been in Egypt for so long, such a different landscape and environment! Enjoy your trip and thanks for your videos, they always make me laugh (AND wanting to paint!)🍀💖
Diane, I have been learning watercolor from you for 6 months now and love all the supplies you use. I have purchased most of the watercolors you use. I would love to add these to my ever growing works of art. Thank you for being my mentor!
I would love this set of paints because l have always used oils and want to try watercolors. I’m 79 so if I’m going to try watercolors I better do it as soon as possible. I am home bound now and it’s hard to get out and find the paints I would need. Thanks for all your videos and info you give us.
What a great idea! I would love to be lucky enough for the paint set. It will be put to great use as I am teaching an outdoor plein air class and focusing on simple materials that anyone can manage. I would share the paints as a demo for my group to share on next outdoor excursion as many people are hesitant to buy watercolors.
Hi there. Im brand new to watercolor. It's wonderful to spend time creating gorgeous images from water. Even a few minutes of painting gives me such joy Love watching your techniques
I love watching you paint. You make it look so effortless. And I love your little birds. 😄 I'm in the mood for fall to come too. We had a tornado touch down just 2 miles from us today in Minnesota USA. Luckily it was in a field and didn't cause any damage. I've heard a lot of You tubers sing the praises of the MeiLiang paints, but I've never tried them myself. Have a happy holiday!
What a fantastic set !!! Starting to gather supplies to be able to try some of your wonderfull tutorials. At 70 yrs old I’m definitely a beginner but I’ve always thought that it’s never too late to create ❤
Being the child of a professional artist I grew up at her feet. Literally sometimes. Her drive and passion made me want to follow in her footsteps. At 62 I can finally say I'm there. My problem is selling but that's my issue. Watercolor is my favorite medium ( hers was oil). This looks like a set that I could use as much as my pan inktense set. Thank you for a great session. ❤
I haven’t used these colors myself; however, one of the “world famous” watercolorists that taught at the Plein Air Convention this year, said he uses these. Also a popular UA-cam instructor uses this brand. I sure enjoy your tutorials. If I need to destress, I find one of your tutorials to follow. Your mild manner, stories, and background animal sounds are calming and delightful. Thank you so much for keeping me sane while also helping to advance my skills.
Iv had my eye on these, they look awesome, Thank you for a chance to win, and even more importantly, thank you for all the wonderful inspiration you give. I love all the videos. Your Amazing. Hugs😊
Diane you are so generous to your viewers. These are great paints for beginners! Thanks for all your content and sharing your talent with us newbies to this beautiful medium.
I’ve wanted to try these water colors! Love the purple tin it’s in. Thanks so much for offering this contest! Another Canadian thrilled to be included!
As a therapist, I've been loving finding ways to incorporate art into my sessions and watercolor sounds like a beautiful way of engaging clients in art therapy. With this set, I'd be able to start that and I love your videos a lot. Very peaceful and relaxing
Hello Kaelyn, from another therapist! Yes to finding ways to offer encouragement to clients who are open to using art for self-soothing, creativity and relaxing. I am still a beginner, continuing to learn here with Diane's always interesting tutorials.
Hi! You are the reason i paint. I check everyday to see whats new. Youve become my best teacher and i probably would never have gotten into it without you. Im retired and was looking for a new hobby and i now paint every single day. I've gone thru one entire set of Kuretaki , so this would be a good time to try somethring new. Youre my inspiration! Enjoy your day!
I have just started painting again after many years, and have seen some of my favorite you tube artists using this set and the colors seem very vibrant. It is very generous of you to offer all these goodies as a gift! ❤ thank you for the opportunity to win!!
Wow that's a great set of watercolors with so many colors. I'm new to watercolor painting. I love watching you paint. I just recently tried pen and ink. So fun. I would love to win this paint set. Thanks.
Hi Diane. I am in Canada, i have been painting for about 8 months now and you've taught me so much with your tutorials. I'm 63 and am delighted to say i have found a new passion i cant get enough of. I'm not the best watercolorist out there, but just find great joy in it. Thank you for all you do.
Hello Diane, love the rich colors of the watercolor set. What a blessing to get a chance to win this set! I have been doing art since the age of three, and still am at it. Mainly I use my knowledge of art to teach elementary school students-from preschool age to 6th grade. I will soon be getting back to my children’s book, and starting some wonderful gallery pieces. If I win, I will surely be using this set to create my finished book illustrations, as well as my gallery work. Thank you for sharing your time and your studio. ❤️ 🎨
Diane, I love your painting style and your tutorials. We all love listening to you as you teach. Thank you for being so generous to those of us who watch you. 💕
That’s an absolutely beautiful set of paints and I love that it’s also a good set for travel or plein air painting. That’s a HUGE range of colors and the pigments are lovely. What a blessing this will be for someone. After my retirement (which happened a year and a half earlier than it should have because of my health issues) I have really enjoyed getting back to my creative side. What a lovely thing for you to do ❤ Your videos always inspire me to keep pushing and practicing. Cheers! 🎉❤
I am new to painting, I have been watching your videos and have started painting along. I love the little techniques you add in every video. It would take a new painter years to figure out what not to do. The giveaway paint set looks wonderful, I hope whoever wins enjoys it.
Hey Diane, love these fall watercolor bookmarkers, especially the pumpkin one! I would love the the 52 Meilang set. I have the 36 one and love it. I've used quite a bit of it up.😀 Thank you for the opportunity of entering the contest and helping to get better at painting over the past few years.😊
Thank you so much Diane, for having such an amazing give away. Thank you for the opportunity; I’m enjoying learning how to mix colors. Painting with watercolors is such an adventure.❤
Hi Diane. I have been painting with you since 24 August 2022 - that's 2 years with you being my UA-cam teacher! Thank you! I started with the little whimsical birds, and am quite happy with how far I've come thanks to your tutorials :) I bought a set of Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints after seeing how beautifully they lay down on paper in your videos. I'd love to try some different watercolours now. I invested in 3 or 4 Sennelier tubes (Alizarin Crimson and Quinacridone Gold, also as a result of some of the paintings on your channel). But they're quite pricy, and I couldn't imagine getting a large set of those. I'm at the point where I'd love to try some different paints, and had been thinking of getting some Paul Rubens colours. The reds, browns and greens in this set seem like they would lend themselves to wonderful fall leaves! This is why I'm entering the giveaway. Also, the set would make a wonderful, late birthday present for this August child. Thanks for helping us make art, and for these generous giveaways. Wishing you and Tamsin (and all the animals) the very best, from my home in Switzerland.
Hi and thanks so much for your kind words and appreciation of our channel, and thank you also for your continuous support! I’m so glad you’re pleased with your progress in watercolor and that you are thinking about getting slightly better quality paints. But the Kuretake ones are perfectly fine and I use them very often even when not recording videos - and they are the most vibrant paints I’ve ever owned! Also, you will be happy with Paul Rubens paints I’m sure. Wishing you a belated happy birthday, and good luck in the competition! Liebe Grüße von uns!
I started watercolor painting February this year. I'm loving it so much. I listen to Your videos and try to do what you do often. I would so love to receive this wonderful gift. Even if I don't, I get it, I'm so happy that you're giving it out to someone.
Hi Diane, I'm a regular fun of your channel and love all your tutorials, its great to have all these giveaway gifts, very kind of you to think of your followers, I've always loved to paint one of my best hobbies, now that Im 70 I have all the time in the world to indulge in my favourite past time, and that looks a beautiful set of watercolours so many vibrant colours keeping who ever wins painting for hours, thanks once again for your kindness to your followers....
I finally convinced my mother who is retired to take up watercolours after the pandemic, I have always told her I think she has a talent for painting since she used to draw me dolls to colour when I was small but she was always too busy to really dedicate any time to it. Watercolours seemed like the perfect medium since it did not take up too much space o was necessary to buy much stuff at the beginning. So I prepared a small tin set with all the basic colours from my own tubes, bought her paper, several brushes and she was all set. She is happily learning how to do loose florals but she is always grumbling about how she does not like to mix colours, that it makes her lose time. I would love to win this tin to give to her so that she has all the colours she could possibly need at the tip of her fingertips and totally forget about having to mix all the time, just enjoy herself.
I started watercolor painting around 6 months ago as a form of therapy. I can’t say that it’s less expensive than traditional therapy, but I think it may be more effective and satisfying. I would love to win this set because of the different beautiful colors. I really enjoy watching your videos. Your voice is so soothing.
I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to win this set! As a long-time viewer of your channel, I've found immense inspiration and guidance in your watercolor tutorials. Although I'm just beginning my watercolor journey, I've already discovered how calming and captivating it can be. Your unique approach and talent set you apart from other UA-cam creators - your content truly shines! Your channel has brought so much joy and light into my life, especially on difficult days. Thank you for sharing your gift. Diane
I have this set but the paint was already poured, no unwrapping each color. It is good paint, I have enjoyed using it very much. The swatch card which I filled out has driven me nuts! It does not match the layout no matter which way I turn the card. To get anything close to the layout the text is upside down so I can't read the color names. I will try standing on my head next to see how that works! I like they included the pigment index numbers with each color. They also included a symbol for transparency on each color...all tiny, tiny text/symbols to fit on the small swatch card. The book mark cards included are made from very good paper-doubt it is 100% cotton but it has made some lovely book marks with vivid colors. Thank you for reviewing this set.
Thank you, Diane for continuing to teach and inspire us to create. You were the first watercolor artist that I watched as a beginner two years ago. I still consider myself as a beginner, but I have learned so much from you. This video was particularly relaxing- the music, your calm encouragement, and inspiration. I even found the rooster crowing in the background lovely! Thank you for sharing your experience with us and for sharing this giveaway. I would enjoy receiving this set of paints to expand my horizons in the watercolor world. The set of paints I own is fairly muted colors; these seem bright and festive. I think the creations I love to make and give to others would be fun to paint with this colorful set and bring cheer to the recipients. I have a new friend (85 years old) who likes to watercolor. I will share this video with her. :)
I am new to watercolor painting. I live in a small town with very little art or art classes to take , luckily I have found your videos to watch and help me enjoy the learning process. Thank you for sharing your art. I hope to see more of you in the future.
I’m glad to hear Gabriel again as I enjoy your Autumn leaves and your peaceful voice explaining the process…then topped off with a great selection of music…what a good video!
Thank you. Great paints you’re gifting. I’ve been noticing that both fashion and painting is about a season ahead! Autumn is on the way so these bookmarks are perfect!
Diane I am in awe watching you paint. So naturally! I would love to win this paintset. I've wanted to water color for awhile. Looks like a nice size to start with. Thanks for doing your giveaways!
Thanks for gifting this set, Diane. Love the variety of colours! Love watching your videos, too - it's rare that I don't learn something, and I'm often inspired.
❤Lovely set and a beautiful gift to give any artist. Thank you for all you do. Your tutorials are always lovely and love to hear your rooster in the background 😊
What a super little jewel paint box, all complete and ready for pumpkin painting, I have a little red miniature long haired dachshund called Pumpkin, The weather here in Norfolk is warm and sunny and the garden still in full bloom, a few leaves turning and falling with a nip in the air first thing, but I'm happy to embrace the autumn with her rich tapestry of colour when she comes. Very generous give away Diane, good luck everyone.
Hi Diane 🎉 would you believe that I would love this palette? I've looked at it a lot, but I have just spent a small fortune finally building my Daniel Smith palette! Two hundred dollars! It's going to be in a very nice Meeden tin. The vintage style with the deep wells for mixing washes and small enough for me to paint on my sofa. I'm just a watercolor junkie 😂 I collect Kuretaki as you know, and gave away my Mozart Korimabe set yesterday. I always try to let go of one when I get another... Whoever wins will enjoy it, im sure! I've given three 36 color sets of Mei Lang. I enjoy them but they also make great gifts! I love that tiny set!
Love all the colors in this set. I would love to win it and try them out. I’m always excited to try new watercolors. Thank you for offering such a nice gift . So thoughtful of you. I really enjoy watching your tutorials and seeing you art.
Watching you paint is always calming. I love hearing the chickens too. I could use a lot more practice and learning the art of watercolors. I love painting. This set would be very useful to me because it's very portable and small. And since I will be a nomad soon, it would be great. Thank you so much for all the giveaways. It's been so kind of you. Look forward to watching you paint and teach more. Good luck everyone.
Thank you Diane for offering this beautiful set of watercolors. I enjoy all your tutorials, it's like sitting with a friend for an afternoon and your hearing the different farm animals is comforting.
Diane, I have a set of the Meiliang paints that you are offering & I just want to say they are my 2nd favorite, with Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors being my 1st. (Love those large pans!). This is all because of you that I purchased both of these. I actually just received yesterday a different set, the Kuretake 48 color set. Also, I recently tried the Meeden watercolor paper, which is now my favorite watercolor paper - thanks again to you!! ❤ I am painting better than I ever have on this paper. Btw, I just ordered more of the Meeden paper from Temu. It is the watercolor paper that consists of cold press, hot press, & rough in the 7x10 size, 30 sheets altogether, for $14.90. Amazon is $21.95 for the same thing. I actually like the Meeden cold press over Arches! Of course, that's just my personal preference. I can't thank you enough for all that you share with us, especially your tutorials. I so respect you & your reviews! I'm a 70 year-old that just discovered watercolor painting at age 65. 😊 ~Sandy
Diane, what a wonderful gift for someone to receive. So many beautiful colors. Best of luck to all!! I love the bookmarks and the pumpkin cards. And as always a nice conversation to top it off. By the way, I enjoyed the music at the end 💕🎨
I would love this set. It has so many colors and I wouldn't have to go from pallet to pallethank you for all your wisdom in watercolors and the chatting you do while you're doing your painting. I appreciate it. I know some don't but I do.
You have been such an inspiration to me and my art has improved greatly. I paint every day and look forward to your tutorials. I would love to win that set of watercolors. The variety of colors looks exciting.
Diane, this looks like a fabulous set of watercolor. I'd love to win it. I've have never had a set this large. I love all these colors. Thanks for offering this gift. It will be a blessing to whoever wins it.
Hi Diane. I've been following for some time, and must say i love your presentation, your calm demeanour, and of course, your talent and ability to teach and show how simple "art" can be. Please keep on doing exactly what you're doing. I for one appreciate you ❤
Hi Diane, it’s Nancy here from Canada. Been watching you for a number of years now and I think it’s awesome how you’re giving stuff away clearing out some space in your studio. I’m retiring soon and I would love to get working on some watercolour paints just like what you’re giving away❤
I bought the older set about 6 months ago ..love them ..they ate almost gone. Just not enough yellows...hint hint... thanks Diane...your the best!!!!!!!
That looks like an amazing set. Anyone who is lucky enough to win this, is lucky indeed. I would love to win this. Thanks so much for the opportunity Dianne
Thankyou Diane for another wonderful tutorial. I watch other artists, but i always come back to you. I also love listening to you putting the world to rights lol. And, of course, your animals always brings a smile x
What a lovely set of colors, thank you for giving it away. I would love to paint with those paints. We're having a heat wave here in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It reached a record breaking 101 F. I'm so thankful for air conditioning. I love your fall paintings, they look cool and brisk.
Oh how exciting new paints are always exciting. I like how your tutorials are different subjects rather than some people paint the same things. I really like your doodle paintings they are low pressure for me ty❤❤❤
Painting has been great therapy since my husband died last year. It's only since I found your videos that I've had the courage to try watercolour painting; still very much to learn, but I can lose myself in it. These paints are beautiful, and would enhance anyone's paintings 😊
Thank you, Diane, for being so generous with your gifts of products and, most especially, your time! I would love to win a set like this as, here in Canada, our choices at the biggest craft store are limited, and even then, the choices are often not in stock. Thankfully we have Amazon to turn to! I love today’s demonstration! Thank you for the times you show us little projects like these bookmarks which teach us so many new tricks with our paint and brushes! 😊You’re the best!
Hi Diane! I’ve been following you since I retired back in 2020 and took up watercoloring, I love listening to you and watching you paint. I’ve got most of all my paintings hanging up in my sunroom. Thank you for your patience and effort to make painting fun:)
Every time I feel like giving up on water colours I watch one of your tutorials and it gives me the motivation to keep going.
Thank you so much for that comment! It makes it all worthwhile!
@@DianeAntoneStudiothank you for doing these tutorials in such a clear and easy to follow way, I honestly would’ve given up by now if I hadn’t found your channel.
Such a pretty set of paints. I like that you mentioned you think it would be a good set for a beginner - that would be me.
Bookmarks … what a good idea to practice as a beginner. Sometimes looking at a large sheet of paper is quite intimidating .
I watch your videos all the time and love your stories! I would love to try this set. It has so many beautiful looking colors to try. Thank you for sharing your art wisdom and encouragement.
Thank you Diane , for the opportunity you give us to win a watercolor set! Of course I would love to be the winner, but we are all winners, just by having you as part of our creative art life! You are an inspiration and a muse!
😊 I love Diane and all her art. More I love her personality.
She tells you like it is. 😊
Well said! ❤❤❤

Beautiful set of paints, sad they are not available in Canada. Anyways lovely tutorial as always. Your amazing!

@@DianeAntoneStudio Danke danke! And have fun in Cairo!!
Thankyou for your tutorials!! I've learned so much from, & I love your stories about your farm, looking forward to lots more! ❤😅
What an amazing giveaway! It was one of your videos where I learned to do the whimsical birds and they still make me smile. 🤗
I started watercolor painting February this year. I'm loving it so much. I listen to Your videos and try to do what you do often. I would so love to receive this wonderful gift. Even if I don't, I get it, I'm so happy that you're giving it out to someone.
Hi Diane, I'm a regular fun of your channel and love all your tutorials, its great to have all these giveaway gifts, very kind of you to think of your followers, I've always loved to paint one of my best hobbies, now that Im 70 I have all the time in the world to indulge in my favourite past time, and that looks a beautiful set of watercolours so many vibrant colours keeping who ever wins painting for hours, thanks once again for your kindness to your followers....
I finally convinced my mother who is retired to take up watercolours after the pandemic, I have always told her I think she has a talent for painting since she used to draw me dolls to colour when I was small but she was always too busy to really dedicate any time to it. Watercolours seemed like the perfect medium since it did not take up too much space o was necessary to buy much stuff at the beginning. So I prepared a small tin set with all the basic colours from my own tubes, bought her paper, several brushes and she was all set. She is happily learning how to do loose florals but she is always grumbling about how she does not like to mix colours, that it makes her lose time. I would love to win this tin to give to her so that she has all the colours she could possibly need at the tip of her fingertips and totally forget about having to mix all the time, just enjoy herself.
Thank you Diane for all your tutorials, they are always so accessible and encouraging. The paints you are offering look lovely.
I started watercolor painting around 6 months ago as a form of therapy. I can’t say that it’s less expensive than traditional therapy, but I think it may be more effective and satisfying. I would love to win this set because of the different beautiful colors. I really enjoy watching your videos. Your voice is so soothing.
I'd love this set of paints. I started doing watercolor 6 months ago for the first time and I've really enjoyed it. So, yes, I'd love a set like this!
What charming little birds!! You are such a talented artist, Diane! Not to mention generous! Wow 52 colors! Yowsa!
I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to win this set! As a long-time viewer of your channel, I've found immense inspiration and guidance in your watercolor tutorials. Although I'm just beginning my watercolor journey, I've already discovered how calming and captivating it can be. Your unique approach and talent set you apart from other UA-cam creators - your content truly shines! Your channel has brought so much joy and light into my life, especially on difficult days. Thank you for sharing your gift. Diane
I have this set but the paint was already poured, no unwrapping each color. It is good paint, I have enjoyed using it very much. The swatch card which I filled out has driven me nuts! It does not match the layout no matter which way I turn the card. To get anything close to the layout the text is upside down so I can't read the color names. I will try standing on my head next to see how that works! I like they included the pigment index numbers with each color. They also included a symbol for transparency on each color...all tiny, tiny text/symbols to fit on the small swatch card. The book mark cards included are made from very good paper-doubt it is 100% cotton but it has made some lovely book marks with vivid colors. Thank you for reviewing this set.
Diane, your tutorials are inspiring. Painting along with you is such fun,
Thank you, Diane for continuing to teach and inspire us to create. You were the first watercolor artist that I watched as a beginner two years ago. I still consider myself as a beginner, but I have learned so much from you.
This video was particularly relaxing- the music, your calm encouragement, and inspiration. I even found the rooster crowing in the background lovely! Thank you for sharing your experience with us and for sharing this giveaway.
I would enjoy receiving this set of paints to expand my horizons in the watercolor world. The set of paints I own is fairly muted colors; these seem bright and festive. I think the creations I love to make and give to others would be fun to paint with this colorful set and bring cheer to the recipients. I have a new friend (85 years old) who likes to watercolor. I will share this video with her. :)
I am new to watercolor painting. I live in a small town with very little art or art classes to take , luckily I have found your videos to watch and help me enjoy the learning process. Thank you for sharing your art. I hope to see more of you in the future.
I’m glad to hear Gabriel again as I enjoy your Autumn leaves and your peaceful voice explaining the process…then topped off with a great selection of music…what a good video!
I always get excited when I see some of my favorite watercolor channels start doing Autumn themed watercolors. Its the best season!
Thank you. Great paints you’re gifting.
I’ve been noticing that both fashion and painting is about a season ahead! Autumn is on the way so these bookmarks are perfect!
Thank you, Diane, for your generosity! I just celebrated my 82nd birthday this week and these paints would be great to have.
Diane I am in awe watching you paint. So naturally! I would love to win this paintset. I've wanted to water color for awhile. Looks like a nice size to start with. Thanks for doing your giveaways!
Hi Diane! I enjoy your videos and would love to try this set of watercolors! It seems just the ticket for a travel set! ❤❤
Thanks for gifting this set, Diane. Love the variety of colours! Love watching your videos, too - it's rare that I don't learn something, and I'm often inspired.
Oh Diane, you bring so much joy in my life. Thank you from the bottom of heart in the middle of day :-)
I love watching and listening to you while you paint. I have learned so much from you!
❤Lovely set and a beautiful gift to give any artist. Thank you for all you do. Your tutorials are always lovely and love to hear your rooster in the background 😊
Such a lovely watercolor set, Diane! You are so kind to offer it as a give a way! Thanks for tbe opportunity.
What a super little jewel paint box, all complete and ready for pumpkin painting, I have a little red miniature long haired dachshund called Pumpkin, The weather here in Norfolk is warm and sunny and the garden still in full bloom, a few leaves turning and falling with a nip in the air first thing, but I'm happy to embrace the autumn with her rich tapestry of colour when she comes. Very generous give away Diane, good luck everyone.
Oh my goodness!! Gorgeous!!
Diane…the colors are beautiful! Anyone would be so proud to win these! Good luck to everyone! ❤️
You are such a sweet lady to give us all your wonderful classes and the summer give away. Thank you for all you do.
Hi Diane 🎉 would you believe that I would love this palette? I've looked at it a lot, but I have just spent a small fortune finally building my Daniel Smith palette! Two hundred dollars!
It's going to be in a very nice Meeden tin. The vintage style with the deep wells for mixing washes and small enough for me to paint on my sofa. I'm just a watercolor junkie 😂 I collect Kuretaki as you know, and gave away my Mozart Korimabe set yesterday. I always try to let go of one when I get another... Whoever wins will enjoy it, im sure! I've given three 36 color sets of Mei Lang. I enjoy them but they also make great gifts! I love that tiny set!
What a nice giveaway for those who love playing with watercolor. Thank you for offering this set as a prize, Diane. Good luck everyone.
Love all the colors in this set. I would love to win it and try them out. I’m always excited to try new watercolors. Thank you for offering such a nice gift . So thoughtful of you. I really enjoy watching your tutorials and seeing you art.
Watching you paint is always calming. I love hearing the chickens too. I could use a lot more practice and learning the art of watercolors. I love painting. This set would be very useful to me because it's very portable and small. And since I will be a nomad soon, it would be great. Thank you so much for all the giveaways. It's been so kind of you. Look forward to watching you paint and teach more. Good luck everyone.
Thank you Diane for offering this beautiful set of watercolors. I enjoy all your tutorials, it's like sitting with a friend for an afternoon and your hearing the different farm animals is comforting.
Absolutely !…..
Vraiment ! Un vrai bonheur! 🤩🥰
Diane, I have a set of the Meiliang paints that you are offering & I just want to say they are my 2nd favorite, with Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors being my 1st. (Love those large pans!). This is all because of you that I purchased both of these. I actually just received yesterday a different set, the Kuretake 48 color set. Also, I recently tried the Meeden watercolor paper, which is now my favorite watercolor paper - thanks again to you!! ❤ I am painting better than I ever have on this paper. Btw, I just ordered more of the Meeden paper from Temu. It is the watercolor paper that consists of cold press, hot press, & rough in the 7x10 size, 30 sheets altogether, for $14.90. Amazon is $21.95 for the same thing. I actually like the Meeden cold press over Arches! Of course, that's just my personal preference. I can't thank you enough for all that you share with us, especially your tutorials. I so respect you & your reviews! I'm a 70 year-old that just discovered watercolor painting at age 65. 😊 ~Sandy
Diane, what a wonderful gift for someone to receive. So many beautiful colors. Best of luck to all!! I love the bookmarks and the pumpkin cards. And as always a nice conversation to top it off. By the way, I enjoyed the music at the end 💕🎨
I would love this set. It has so many colors and I wouldn't have to go from pallet to pallethank you for all your wisdom in watercolors and the chatting you do while you're doing your painting. I appreciate it. I know some don't but I do.
You have been such an inspiration to me and my art has improved greatly. I paint every day and look forward to your tutorials. I would love to win that set of watercolors. The variety of colors looks exciting.
Would love those lovely set. Love the channel followed you since start of covid so long time. Thank you for all tutorials
Diane, this looks like a fabulous set of watercolor. I'd love to win it. I've have never had a set this large. I love all these colors. Thanks for offering this gift. It will be a blessing to whoever wins it.
😊 Yes it is. And Diane is so kind and makes me laugh. 😊
This set looks so fun, thanks for offering it and for producing so many helpful and entertaining viedos!
Hi Diane. I've been following for some time, and must say i love your presentation, your calm demeanour, and of course, your talent and ability to teach and show how simple "art" can be.
Please keep on doing exactly what you're doing. I for one appreciate you ❤
My favorite time of year is autumn. These little bookmarks make wonderful gifts. Thank you for the inspiration.
You are so welcome! Thanks so much for your loyal support Sundie!
Hi Diane, it’s Nancy here from Canada. Been watching you for a number of years now and I think it’s awesome how you’re giving stuff away clearing out some space in your studio. I’m retiring soon and I would love to get working on some watercolour paints just like what you’re giving away❤
I bought the older set about 6 months ago ..love them ..they ate almost gone. Just not enough yellows...hint hint... thanks Diane...your the best!!!!!!!
Hi Linit, you are joking about the yellows of course? Thanks so much for your support and good luck in the competition!
That looks like an amazing set. Anyone who is lucky enough to win this, is lucky indeed. I would love to win this. Thanks so much for the opportunity Dianne
Thankyou Diane for another wonderful tutorial. I watch other artists, but i always come back to you. I also love listening to you putting the world to rights lol. And, of course, your animals always brings a smile x
You are so welcome Cazzie and thanks so much for your support I really appreciate it - Good Luck!
Scrumptious watercolor set ignites my imagination! What a dream kit! 🥰😍💖
What a lovely set of colors, thank you for giving it away. I would love to paint with those paints. We're having a heat wave here in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It reached a record breaking 101 F. I'm so thankful for air conditioning. I love your fall paintings, they look cool and brisk.
The range of colors is beautiful.... perfect for the beginning of fall 🍂🍁
Oh how exciting new paints are always exciting. I like how your tutorials are different subjects rather than some people paint the same things. I really like your doodle paintings they are low pressure for me ty❤❤❤
Hi Dawn, so glad you’re still enjoying the channel! Thanks for commenting!
@@DianeAntoneStudio very much so I love your style of painting, and you make me feel accomplished by making them manageable and not overwhelming
Painting has been great therapy since my husband died last year. It's only since I found your videos that I've had the courage to try watercolour painting; still very much to learn, but I can lose myself in it.
These paints are beautiful, and would enhance anyone's paintings 😊
Thank you, Diane, for being so generous with your gifts of products and, most especially, your time! I would love to win a set like this as, here in Canada, our choices at the biggest craft store are limited, and even then, the choices are often not in stock. Thankfully we have Amazon to turn to! I love today’s demonstration! Thank you for the times you show us little projects like these bookmarks which teach us so many new tricks with our paint and brushes! 😊You’re the best!
I just love how you paint, perfectly imperfect. Just love it. Thank you . I would love to have that paint set. I hope you pick my name. Lol
Great paint set! I got the smaller one two years ago for one of my grands.
Thank you Dianne, this looks like a lovely set! I love trying out different paints and playing with different combinations.
Thanks so much, I have never used these paints but would love a a set of so many! Nice that they include the water brush, pencil and eraser
Absolutely stunning! What a creative gift to give away.
Here USA pretty hot and humid but painting these Autumn beauties helped cool me down. It is truly my favorite season. Thank you again
Hi Diane! I’ve been following you since I retired back in 2020 and took up watercoloring, I love listening to you and watching you paint. I’ve got most of all my paintings hanging up in my sunroom. Thank you for your patience and effort to make painting fun:)
