Absolutely love these WC dragon flies ❤
Thanks so much - so glad you are exploring the older videos!
I enjoy your teaching style! I loved your dragonfly! 🤩🤩🤩Thanks again.
That was a cool painting. I don't know how to strech paper. The paper I buy is already stretched. Thank you and have a good day! JK FLORIDA USA 🇺🇸.
You are so welcome!
I love this!
I really like this one ❤
Thank you!
I loved your dragonfly...I'm hoping to make it through your tutorials. They really are relaxing, even tho I'm very much a BEGINNER, I'm having fun and actually see some improvement. Many hugs and thanks from your West Texas friend!
Thanks so much Gail, so glad you are enjoying the videos!
Ps. I forgot to tell you how much I appreciated your showing us the tip about how to trace the dragonfly and transfer it on to the prepared paper! That’s one of the things that makes your videos special! Thanks again.🤗
You are so welcome!
❤ This is my little Kaela Anne Grace that passed away 3 1/2 years ago…she is SO missed! She is now with Jesus… Thankyou Diane for this most precious painting… ❤
little kaela is safe and well taken of. you will see her soon.
Thank you💐
magnificent!! I love dragonflies, and this painting is amazing
Thank you so much 😀 Hope you give it a try!
This is my favorite of all your tutorials. I have painted this many times and in different colors. I like cool colors in the background after masking out the dragonfly. I add warm colors on the dragonfly. I add two m smaller dragonflies in the transparent method you used here. Wondering if you’d ever like to try to do that on UA-cam for us. 🙏 also, might you consider adding to your shop a coffee mug with this image? My hummingbird mug I purchased a couple of years ago is still my favorite. I would buy the 2 dragonfly mugs. One to keep in one for my sister. She loves your work too. 💙🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵
Hi Delphine, thanks so much for your lovely comments and your suggestions. I will definitely have a go at a dragonfly in the way you suggest. Meanwhile I agree it is a good idea to make a mug of the blue dragonfly, and we will work on that and let you know when it is ready via a community post! Thanks again and so glad you are enjoying my videos!
Dragonflies are awesome and I love that Caribbean blue color!
Me too! It's a great blue and works very well with my style! Happy painting!
Your video is so helpful... very very good good to understand the techniques
Thank you so much dear
Thank you so much!
I just tried this one and plan to do again (on better quality paper)! Such a good way to practice wet on wet. Thank you - I enjoy your teaching style.
This is so pretty. And I love the lovely background music. I have just discovered your Channel. I don't have any watercolor paints yet because I've been using mostly acrylics. But I did buy the 72 set Derwent inktense pencils. I would love to try this on a rock.
Welcome to the channel! Hope you enjoy loads of videos!
I enjoy your videos so much and greatly admire your talent. You are an inspiration and I will continue to follow you as long as you keep teaching.
Thank you so much! I hope to continue for a long time!
OH Thank you so much for this. I just gave it a try and am so happy with my results. Great instructions and loads of encouragement along the way; it helps us not get fussed over things. I am on holiday and do not have everything I wish I had with me, but it is forcing me to improvise with what I did bring and THAT is a great lesson on its own. Lovely way to spend some time with you. Your time and talent are much enjoyed. Have a great day!
Wonderful! So glad you are enjoying the videos Judi! Have a great holiday and thanks so much for the lovely comments!
I to am very glad 😊 that I've found your UA-cam video channel, very relaxing in real time as well, love all your helpful tips 😀 thanks again Diane from Aussie Dave 😀
I enjoy your calm videos. I am a beginner and a bit heavy handed, so I need your guidance to lighten up! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Remember to breathe! Happy painting!
I love this and especially seeing such an effective background technique! Thank you so much for sharing!
You are so welcome!
This is one of your prettiest yet! It would be great to see you explore this technique some more. An example of the masking beforehand sounds promising. Thank you for the informative, real-time tutorials! I’m so glad I found your channel! 😺💕
Great suggestion! I will be doing that soon! Thanks for your comments, very helpful!
Nice. Thank you. Had a dead dragonfly for awhile; they're quite intricate & an amazing creation.
They really are amazing, I think they go back to the dinosaurs. Thanks for your comment!
Amazing blue dragonfly 👍🖌️🎨
Thank you!
This painting is gorgeous! Your technique with doing the background first creates a lovely look! Dragonflies are so pretty and interesting, and you have certainly captured their special look!
Thanks Linda!
Wow! Is that Dragonfly beautiful.. that blue... Speechless.
The method with the transparent paper is really great. I always did this as a child, back then I used sandwich paper.
Thanks so much 😊 Yes, Caribbean Blue is wonderful, an Old Holland colour. And yes, I used to use greaseproof paper (we call it in England) when I was a kid. Now I have proper tracing paper!
@@DianeAntoneStudio 😍😍🥰🥰
beautiful loose watercolor paitning! and his wings are so delicate, love it! Glad I have found you! :) and joined you, of course :) watercolors are my favorite medium and I love fantasy style the most :) again, beautiful work Diane! Thank you and have a great day! :)
Thanks and welcome to the channel, so happy to have you on board! I hope you find some inspiration here as we travel along the art path - there's a fantasy hare coming up next!
@@DianeAntoneStudio oh great! I will not miss it 😊👏💗
I’ve just discovered your channel. Thank you for the really helpful teaching and simple explanations- it’s so helpful to my own painting. I’ve subscribed yesterday.
However, as I have a neurological disorder that causes pain and dizziness with nausea, at times when music is playing in the background of a teaching video, I’ve had to stop the one I’m watching today. I will try again tomorrow and see if I can continue with the second two thirds!
People will tell me to watch with the sound turned off! I do that sometimes, but I want to hear your teaching, which is important when you’re learning.
So, if I’m not offending anyone by asking, please would you consider making your wonderful videos without the music in the background, competing with the voice. Some of us who live alone and are disabled can find great comfort and purpose through painting, but need to hear simple clean descriptions without music.
I don’t know why this is a thing, because I can listen to music on its own, and love it, but I can’t cope with two things at once. I’ve read many comments on other sites where someone says they don’t like the music so I know I’m not the only one.
I hope you don’t mind me asking. Thank you so much. X
Hi there, sorry I don't know your name, but welcome to the channel. You'll be excited to know that for the last month or two we have been producing all our videos without music. I'm sorry that the older ones are hard for you to listen to, but going forward they will be music free, as you certainly aren't alone in feeling the way you do. Initially when we started the channel about 18 months ago it seemed necessary to have the music for various logistical reasons. Now though we are more established and can leave the music off. So pick the newer videos when you absolutely need no music and you will be set! Hope this helps, best wishes and thanks for your support, Diane xxx
@@DianeAntoneStudio Hi there. I am so thankful - that’s wonderful news! I will look again tomorrow and enjoy some more.
How kind of you to reply and not take offence. I have had some very snotty replies with one artist even saying she “blocks all ‘whingers’ from her channel, and good luck, close the door when you leave”!!!
It is obviously very offensive to some people even though I ask politely and try to make clear that it’s a medical condition I have, not at all a criticism of someone’s work.
Anyway, I’m very grateful for your understanding and wish you well with your channel. xxx
@@rbrown6476 thanks so much for your reply. I’m shocked to hear that another UA-camr would reply to you like that. There is no reason to be offended when someone asks a polite question, is there, or at least I think I was taught that when I was a child! I have various annoying medical conditions myself which mean that I am more than sympathetic to anyone who suffers. I’m glad that you asked. I’m sure you’re not alone and I think we made the right decision when we decided to leave off the music. To tell you the truth it takes a lot of time to add the music so really why would we! I wish you happy painting and much enjoyment from our videos! Best wishes, Diane xxx
@@DianeAntoneStudio Bless you for your understanding and kind reply. To be honest, I’ve found that 95% of people are kind and thoughtful in general, although we’re all a bit grumpy on some days :D, but it’s the unkind and spiteful remarks that you tend to remember. I try to find good and kind people whatever I’m doing, and it’s not hard. A smile and kind words don’t cost anything!
Happy painting and much success with your channel x
Thank you again! I just love listening to you as you as you work ❣️. Super idea for my greetings cards I’m working on.
Excellent, so glad you're finding them inspirational! Thanks for taking the time to comment x
Really like this...! Joy to watch...
Thank you so much!
Fun! And easy! Thank you!
Thanks Joy, so glad you’re having fun!
Gorgeous. That’s a great idea doing that background first? I’ll try to give it a go. Thank you Diane.
You're welcome! Have fun!
This is so beautiful!!! I love it!!! I am so going to be painting this today! In fact, I think I might be painting it several times and in different sizes. I love, love, love dragonflies. Especially the small blue ones. A perfect gift...just to say I’m thinking about you❤️
Hi and thanks so much for your truly lovely comments! More dragonflies will be winging their way towards you over the next little while! Happy painting xx!
I am enjoying following your loose dragonfly water colors. I did try the 3 dragonflies with the 3 primary colors. Mine ended up much deeper in colors so will try again with more watered down paint. I also like this one using a very limited palate also. Thank you Diane.
Less is more, as they say in all the best books! This style so depends on the background, it hardly needs any colour on the actual dragonfly does it! So glad you are enjoying the tutorials, and thanks so much for your support!
Love it. I really like doing a background first and you’ve encouraged me to do it again
Brilliant! It’s great fun to do it and so rewarding!
Lovely 💜
Thank you! 😊
That was really terrific!
Excellent! So glad you are enjoying the videos!
So glad you are enjoying the videos!
Thank yoo for sharing,
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Hello Diane! Another lovely one I see. I love your technique in this one. I'm a big fan of dragonflies! I find your tutorials very relaxing. I haven't done any watercolours for decades but I made a bookmark as a Christmas gift for my daughter and I'm hoping she'll love it. I'm just getting over an injury to my right arm so I have to take it slow...I like the way it turned out. The only thing I don't like is the butterflies look kind of heavy, not light like a butterfly should, kind of stiff...I think I must use a lighter line, not so heavy handed with the ink outline. Any tips for me? I would appreciate it. Thanks so much! Keep posting and your art is fabulous!
.
Also, is it possible to put your outline down on the paper first, before applying the paint?
Yes, it’s up to you, either will work.
How... did you rub that out? 🤯
Can you explain stretching the paper?
I do have a short video that goes into paper stretching in some detail. Here's a link: ua-cam.com/video/PyAgoP_uaWY/v-deo.html
I Love Blue color and your dragonfly is very very beautiful!! where can i get this caribbean blue?
Caribbean Blue is sold by the paint manufacturer Old Holland. Their website is www.oldholland.com/watercolours/
@@dianeantonestudiolive Thank You!!
I must order some more paint!
Hi. Can you please tell me where I can get a plane-type sharpener like you received as a gift.
i would so appreciate it. I have 11 sharpeners...none of them work. Thanks.
Yes one sec and I’ll find the link!
Here you are! tinyurl.com/jnu7w26w
What does it mean to stretch the paper?
Here’s a video where I show you how this is done: ua-cam.com/video/PyAgoP_uaWY/v-deo.html
How do you stretch your paper
Here is my video showing how I stretch my paper: ua-cam.com/video/PyAgoP_uaWY/v-deo.html
How do you stretch the paper?
I have a video on paper stretching here: ua-cam.com/video/PyAgoP_uaWY/v-deo.html
Thanks so much, lots of good info. Another question, What type of pencil do you use to draw your sketch? The pencil and eraser I used left a shadow.
Well I just noticed that this video is a year old. So my other comment I left is probably still accurate but I feel foolish a bit. 🤦😂😂❤️
Have I lost one of your comments Susan?
You say to stretch the paper but not how to stretch it
can you please reveal?

Thank you for such a prompt response ~
It has been most illuminating & informative
Would it work on a hard surface like a plexiglass or plastic ~ or must it be plywood?
@@hapijen4828 You might have a problem making the paper tape stick to a shiny surface such as plexiglass or glass. It should work on wood, plywood, veneered chipboard, or any composite board with a non-slippery surface. Hope this helps x
@@DianeAntoneStudio
Is it crucial to use a paper tape for this technique or can it be substituted?
