I really like the painting a lot - bight and cheery colours. I liked that you used a more natural lighting today. It really showed the colours nicely. Thanking you as well for sharing your review of the Princeton Brushes. Hope you guys have a lovely day.
Hi Anne, thanks for your comment! Actually we never use artificial light, as I have skylights in my studio and we prefer natural light. Unfortunately that means that when the outside light is low, cloudy or rainy for example, we struggle with our equipment (iPhone cameras!) to get it to pick up enough light. This video was recorded on a day when the sun came out! It’s very interesting to hear that you can detect the difference and thanks for your feedback, very helpful!!!
I love a colorful painting especially in nature ! My personality and closet are in not greige or all neutrals either ! Diane I've followed you since retiring from life death scenarios in Nursing ! Thanks newbie x2 yrs!
I'll try 28 day challenge nature inspired and I see if I can use your tips and blending techniques !
Thank you
Love it!!! Sometimes I think that you could take a mud puddle and make it look beautiful! Love to see what’s next!! Thank you!!!💕
🤪😂❤️
I love this. It’s a happy whimsical painting.
Verry good this Video merci 😊😅
I dearly love it when you tell us about times in you life and things you’re interested in while also talking about the painting! Your voice and beautiful accent are both calming and fun to listen to and often your description of something makes me laugh out loud!
You are so welcome, I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos!
Me too! Catch myself smiling and laughing while being so into the process and enjoying being with you.
I love the loose style and then detailed doodles. I can’t wait to try this!
Diane, this is so cute!!!! It looks like the sheep are close to a little stream of water, with the rocks, reflecting in.
Thank you for this comment: Not to fall in love with PARTS of our paintings, so that we don’t get stuck, but go on and paint!!!! I needed to hear that.
You are so welcome!
God bless you!❤
Really enjoyed this video. Watching you create on the fly and also change your mind a time or two. This was so relaxing and true creativity. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
I LOVE how you paint, I LOVE the colors you use. It is so freeing. I also like the spiral trees you did and the black circle things you did and then blotted. out. I love your little farm ETC.
❤❤😊agree
I love your fun brightly coloured landscapes.They are really uplifting and watching them being painted is exciting as just waiting for the next thing to be added is a surprise.I always feel confident when your painting,but I think these paintings tend to be a mystery journey to you as well. So I know it’s ok to start working on a painting and a drawing with an idea,but not a clear picture is fine ,and it will be ok .Thank you for doing things that are a bit different too 🥰
Thanks so much 😊 I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos! I do try to make things fun!
I discovered your chanel only about a week ago and I must say... I’m gulity! Guilty of watching your wonderful videos every evening , making it a sort of relaxation time for me. You are a wonderful soul with lots of imagination and talent! I fell in love with your style of painting and I already took a lot of inspiration from your work and implemented it in my give-it-a-goes at getting creative.
I am sending a big Thank you your way and greetings from Czechia! 🙌💜
I’d like to wish you a warm welcome to the channel Joska, and so glad you have found us. You might be the first person form Czechia who has commented! Thanks for your kind words and I’m so glad you are getting inspiration from the videos. Happy paintings and best wishes from France!
Wonderful to go from color to picture! Your ability to lead me into another space is amazing! I’m learning so much every time I watch you, thanks for sharing such talent, loved the sheep at the end! Karen Dirmish
Thank you so much!
Natasha Newton has a lovely UA-cam channel. I love watching her colour swatching videos. She has a lovely, calm, soothing way of speaking. Very relaxing.
I feel Natasha’s channel is basically a product show …
I also like sweet Natasha!
I'll check it out!
Well, I painted this lovely landscape! It's on the wall in our dining room! I'd love to send you a photo of it so I might just see if I can do that if you won't mind!
I really loved painting it, even if my sheep are a bit wonky!
You are so inspiring Diane. Thank you very much.
Love, Mel in Devon 🍰🌻
Fantastic Mel, so happy for your achievement ❤️ would love to see it!
Hi Diane..I love your sky!! And that yellow 'wheat field' is stunning!! Thanks for another lovely video xoxo
Thank you so much!
I understand your son's fretting when he fell down stairs before the walking holiday. On my first trip to New York City, my fondest desire was to roller-blade (remember those?) through Central Park. I was so excited the night before that I couldn't sleep. I decided to go downstairs, but tripped down the stairs and broke my little toe. The roller-blades stayed home because it was too painful to put them on! I had to buy a pair of open-toed sandals on the way to the airport and I hobbled around New York City for 5 days. I never did get to skate through Central Park. Thank you Diane for that memory and for your lovely thoughts and paintings!
Oh gosh, what a shame! I’m not sure you really wanted to be reminded of that!
Like this bright picture. I am doing a 100 day challenge called new beginnings. I have not really painted any water color pictures before. Now I am in my 6th day. I have just watched your video and I am going to try it. Wet on wet here I come. Thank you Diane you are such an inspiration.
Sounds great!
This was so fun to watch and listen to! I love the way the yellow paint changed and made a beautiful wheat field or corn field! Love the poppy field and the rural setting, so peaceful! Thank you Diane!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Terrific video Diane … love the funky colours & the freedom ❤ thanks for sharing with us …
You are so welcome!
Diane you never cease to amaze me love your work could watch you all day
Thanks so much Denise, that’s so kind of you!
Diane your ability to inspire us is such a gift! Thank you!
Dear Diane
You just keep me going. I love your paintings, your voice … i love your unconventional rebellious way of painting. miracles occur! 🐑🐑❤💜
I'm a big fan of the Princeton brushes. Cackle Cackle Cackle. Lol. I love your channel dear lady. Such fun.
Thanks Karen, really appreciate that LOLOLOL!
Absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤
this was fun and I loved playing with the colors I had. And I like listening to you chat with us as you paint.
Thanks so much Maggie ❤️
Thank you once again for your dedication and humour and talent ❤❤
You are so welcome Linda, much appreciate your comments xx
This type of painting is so Joyful! I love it, Diane! I'm going to give this a go after dinner tonight.
Thank you for your lovely tutorials - So relaxing and gorgeous.
Mel in Devon 🍰
That’s wonderful to hear Mel, so glad you are enjoying the videos - hope you’re having better weather in Devon than we are over the water in Brittany!
Merci Diane 🙏🙏🌸🌸
I loved watching you paint this. The way you worked the brush for the sky turned out wonderful. But when you started with the horizontal stripes of such bright colors I was wondering where you were going. When the purple bled up into the yellow and you said it looked like trees forming I thought wow!! It does look like a grove of Aspen trees! Just before you started in with the ink I was in love. It reminded me of my grandfather’s ranch in Colorado. The yellow/gold looked just like Aspen trees in the fall on the distant mountains. The reds looked like the oak brush in its fall glory. And the beautiful blues and shades of purple formed the forefront that reminded me of the lake that sits between my grandfather’s pasture and those distant mountains.
I like the whimsical feel you achieved with the ink and metallic gold too but my favorite is just before that. Although the sheep were a perfect touch. My grandfather happened to be a sheep rancher so that pasture/meadow would have been covered with them and wild flowers. 🐑🐏🌻
I want to try painting this with only the sheep, a few wild flowers and maybe a fence added. 😊♥️
Hi Lori and thanks so much for your wonderful comment so full of love for your grandfather. How marvellous to grow up with those glorious images in front of you of the beauty of nature. I’m so glad you patiently watched the painting develop. I never know where my abstracts are going to take me, so it’s a journey of exploration we can enjoy together! More coming up like that soon, and please have fun doing your version of this landscape! Best wishes, Diane.
A little snippet of The Rolling Stones is always appreciated 😊👍
Always!
thank you for that! Enjoyable to listen and watch as I can while I work... I am encouraged to paint some "silly", easy stuff this weekend! Joy!
Have fun!
Love this Diane! 🐨👍
What a beautiful piece of artwork. Love your style of painting. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching your work of art. 🥰
Thank you so much 😀
I love this and the vibrant colours. This appeals to me as I am also a quilter and I stitch small pictures with fabric bits and thread. I bought the paints a while ago and I love using them.
Wonderful! Do you ever use the paints to design a quilt before you actually stitch it?
@@DianeAntoneStudio Hi. I have not. This is a good idea and I will have to try it.
This was amazing to watch come to life Diane. So inspiring.. and wonderfullly relaxing with my coffee this morning! Hugs! deb
Glad you enjoyed it Deb!❤️
I really enjoyed going on this journey with you with this painting. Especially where you finally put the sheep. That area of really tested my imagination on what you could put in there. It drove me crazy not knowing what you're gonna do with it. Putting in the sheep was brilliant. I'm planning on a painting for a friend using Just hot autumn colors and You have inspired me with this painting. Thank you again You have the touch
Luv the sheep🐑❤🐑
Thank you so much for your kind comments! So glad the video was helpful and have fun with your painting for a friend. Sounds lovely!
Absolutely beautiful!
I thought I was seeing a pond in the making at the bottom right.
That just shows how we all see things differently.
I saw a pond too!
Love your abstract, I painted along 🥰 love the history lesson, and I agree with pouring paint! Seem like a waste too!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I fell in love with Great Britain and Scotland by watching videos. I would live in England in a village near a town if I could. I live in Canada near the Niagara Falls. ADORED the stone walls. I loved Scotland for its rugged rocky terrain. My grandfather was a stone mason , he built houses. I loved the Yorkshale dales and their stone walls when I first saw them!!
We have a lot in common then Maria! I felt very much at home in Yorkshire although I have no known links with that part of England, coming as I do from the south. Niagara is lovely - or it was when I visited 20 years ago, I was very impressed with the town. What’s it like nowadays?
This was so interesting to watch. Probably because I had no idea where you were going with it and to be able to hear your thought process. It's a joyful painting that I must have a go at it. I'm smiling at the thought. Thank you for inspiration.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow Diane I love this painting so much. These are so my colors. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. And I will be giving it a go soon. ❤❤
Have fun!
Earlier as I was watching this video I thought about a channel I think you may like. 🤷🏼♀️ It’s called Sandi Brock. She’s a sheep farmer in Canada.She and her husband Mark are incredibly hard working. He grows row crops and she works the sheep. I prefer organic farming but the Brock’s are amazing to watch.
Wow, that’s a heck of a farm Sandi Brock has got there! All those sheep and just one woman???? We have 8 and that’s more than enough, but then we don’t have tractors and huge barns! Very interesting, thanks for suggesting her!

@@DianeAntoneStudio You’re welcome. ❤️ She has a 20 year old that helps her that works as hard a Sandi does.
Love this. The yellow looks like wheat
I love the vibrant colors in this!
I am in love with this! The colors are fantastic! It was so calming to watch you create. You have made me feel adventurous. Perhaps I could do something similar. It is worth a try! TFS. Thanks for inspiring. 🙏💌
Thanks so much Evelyn. I find the Kuretake paints are very strong in color, much more so than any of the other paints I’ve ever used!
A brilliant artwork.
I think it's very pretty, colorful.
Interesting chatter during the video. I was seeing the purple and wondering if it made you think of Scotland. Not that I’ve been there. Something else interesting was your don’t fall in love with part of your painting. Same thought process with mixed media - don’t fall in love with your background!
I’m still going lol. If you keep reading, thanks! Your daily challenge in February sounds wonderful. I finally got my Hannamuele (no idea how to spell it) postcard size papers I ordered from UK the other day and perfect size for small art. I might have to give it a try. Ok, I have blabbered on too much! Thanks for another wonderful video.
Oh PS - I hope you give him what for, for yelling at you! Xxx
Thanks Sharon for your great comments. Don’t ever worry about writing lots, it’s great! Do have a go at the challenge, Your postcard sized paper will be ideal for the mini paintings and I’m sure you’ll have fun! Hahnemühle is the spelling!
Fabulous!
This has got to be one of my favourites Diane. I too love Swaledale. The first time i went i woke up on the first morning to a blanket of snow and walked up the hill from a cottage just like that. The blue area at the bottom reminds me of the babbling streams in the area.
//ùý///ý/
Lovely memory! I remember one winter in a holiday cottage when we had frozen pipes and no water, and had to bring a hosepipe in through the kitchen window!
I love your videos!
Gorgeous colours!! 😍😍😍
Love the field of colza on the top.
Great art and great work
Lovely colourful whimsical landscape…love the Yorkshire Dales..been there a few yrs ago…the dry stone walls & lots of sheep are wonderful….great idea to keep an inspirational work to refer to
Glad you enjoyed it
These colors are stunning together!
Thanks Monica!!
Love it!!!💜 I think you're living in Narnia!✨️ God bless you and your Art! 😘😘from Portugal
Yes! Thank you!
We’ve been watching All Things Great And Small on PBS and are loving the series and the countryside with it’s stone walls!
Oh yes, that series was beloved of so many. Loved the books too!
I did it Diane I stay different but with some touches of mine. Thanks, I want more scenery!!
I love it! and oh my gosh - we even have some beloved sheep!!!
Ah yes, the sheep appeared at the last minute!
This makes me so happy. I love it and can't wait to try it this week. Thank you ❤️
Hope you enjoy it!
So colorful. Thanks for making my eyes happy.
My pleasure 😊 so glad you like it 👍❤️
@@DianeAntoneStudio I went away from your video to watch a Yorkshire Dales video and just can’t believe a place and 80-mile trail can be so beautiful. A creator’s haven.
@@sharonc7031 which video did you watch Sharon? I would love to have a look too.
@@DianeAntoneStudio thanks for asking. “The Dales Way” with Mark Richards on PrimeLight Ltd. If you’d like, let me in on your memories. I just couldn’t believe a place could be so magnificent. I’m sure I lived an English life before.
Lots of inspiring ideas to paint fron the Wales too. I took screenshots to hopefully use your approach of fun and light.
Love this ❣️
Love this!😍
I love this painting
This is lovely. I would join your group if I could, but no money to spend, so I'll continue to watch your free lovely videos on UA-cam. I'll just have to think up my own nature inspirations for February, but, I'll keep enjoying what you do. Thank you so much for all you share.
Check out our website Theresa for the February subjects. dianeantone.com/28-days-of-nature-challenge/
I love this! I am joining the challenge tomorrow and will post to FB!! Thank you, Diane and Tasmin!
Sounds great!
I love your painting, thank you for making such accessible works! I love England!
Thank you so much 😀
Sooooo fun!!
Such delicious fun! Charming, fanciful and pulls you into the dreaming part of your mind! You have done it again! Brilliant my friend!❤️XOXOXO
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful
I need Kuretake watercolours so badly
Yes, I agree!
So whimsical and colorful! 🐦💕
I posted my first try at making cute frogs today using ideas in my color choices and leaves inspired by you ! Thank you 😻

Thank you! Cheers!
Really enjoyed this painting.
Thank you so much 😀
Awesome!
I listen to Carolyn Myss. I like her. She has an interesting view of what mankind is going through right now, a major transition which is of course eventful.I'm
Thanks for reminding me about Caroline Myss. She is interesting and I have listened to her in the past. Tonight I listened to her giving a talk in 2019 about the power of holy language. Very interesting!
Try Kate at her Last Homely House channel. I was going to suggest the black-faced Suffolk breed for your sheep as I watched you remove the brown and, there they are in the final piece! Good show.
Thanks Holly for transmitting that instruction via the ether to me! They are much better than brown ones!
How pretty!! You know I talk to you as you paint, right? 🤣
Completely agreed on removing the white doodles, on making the sheep’s white & adding something to the red area.
I love the house & tress, & the fence, & the sign…does that mean that I love everything? Yes!!
We all do 😄 … I think
Yes! Thank you!
Love it. So inspiring ❤
Thank you so much!
Loved this too - took several days to do fo me….
Loved the brightness of this!! Cheery and fun. I think I will try it!! 🌹
Please do!
I love how easy you make it seem. I have all painting supplies but have not painted a single thing, mostly because of health issues caused by disability, and partly because of fear of failure.
Thanks Maria, that’s so kind. I wish I could encourage you to give it a go. It’s the process, not the product, and if the process helps us relax it’s done its job. Best wishes xxx
I feel the same way, afraid of failure, but just push thru and paint!
Maria, I know just how you feel! I have a whole room full of art supplies but my chronic illness and the fear of messing up often stops me from having a go. BUT when I do, I enjoy myself and often surprise myself. I hope you find the courage to just dip a toe in and try something small to start (I found Diane’s video painting little birds a fun thing to try). And remember you don’t have to show anyone your art, do it just for yourself and have fun. Much love to you from Australia xx
Thank you EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU for your encouragement and empathy. I will start as soon as my migraine issue is resolved, I am on my 4th day with migraine headache, it just steals my whole day. . It is caused by tension from my spine.
@@mariatriesart8389 I like it when teachers say “say have fun! Paint outside the lines , and do what makes you feel happy!”
Paintcrush with Kristy Rice is always saying “paint for joy”.
You do you🙏🏽💚💖
I only have Chinese white and it’s fun.
Buenísimo. Así de simple..
Everytime i watch your videos i have to paint
This was really lovely Diane 😍
Superb. Love this.
Many thanks!
Love and need your ‘Woman’ discussions as I totally agree that post menopausal women have pre menstrual mood swings and clumsiness! 🙏💕
We do, don’t we, but it’s ridiculed here in France as non-existent. Humph.
I love the colours you used and the overall picture it’s sooo colourful ❤💙💚💛🧡 just what I needed today ~. the cottage and trees are adorable, thanks Diane
You’re welcome 😊 and I’m so glad it brought a smile xxx
This reminds me of Rainbow Mountainin Peru. It’s beautiful
Love the creative process and love the result. Thanks for your inspiration to play! 🤩
Thanks so much! 😊 happy playing!❤️😄
Did you know that there is a new art nouveaux Kuretake palette out? Its really beautiful.
Hi Patricia, yes, I did but unfortunately it’s not in Europe at the moment. I’m keeping my eyes open for it!
This is fantastic!
Diane,Watch the ' Narrow Boat Pirate ' she is so funny and musical ,she is one of my favourites on UA-cam x☺
Love this!
Love this! Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Depends what topic you are interested in Diane. New Culture Forum is good also there are quite a few travel blogs which can be interesting. I agree about most abstract art but then again I am old 😂😂😂
Lots of things interest me, but I just want someone who speaks properly without so many upward inflected sentence endings? If you know what I mean?
@@DianeAntoneStudio Yep know what you mean.
Love it❤
I received this set of 48 paints for Christmas, I’d requested them after seeing you use them on Christmas cards - it’s my 1st good set - so I’m procrastinating on what to paint!
Glad you like them! They are wonderful paints which dry almost the same color as they are when wet!
This is amazing 🌺thank you so much for sharing your talents
You’re so welcome Julia, thanks so much for your kind words xxx
I am so impressed with what you do. This looks so easy to paint and so much fun, I love it. I've just found your channel and I'm an absolute beginner and don't know where to start. Where do you suggest I begin in your videos?
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel! Sorry for the late reply, I just found your question. Many people have found it easiest to start with this little bird video, which needs zero skill and turns out well: ua-cam.com/video/BA3nJDNx3Mw/v-deo.htmlsi=s1txI80ZkQzxKWZ7 and after that you can look on our channel home page for a playlist called Beginners and try some of those videos. Most of my vids are really easy and simple though, except for some of those I recorded at the beginning about 3 years ago. Stick with more recent ones in general for easier projects xxx Have fun, Diane xxx
Hello Diane, Thank you for this - I was in a bad way today and needed some fun! Plus, it’s different too! I would like to do the nature challenge but I am not on Facebook!
Hi Liz, You don’t have to be on Facebook to do the challenges. That’s just the easiest place for people to share their paintings if they want to, but that’s not necessary, you can just do it for yourself. There are two ways to join in - if you join the UA-cam membership you can get the daily challenges in the Community Tab on the channel which I put there for members to see. Sometimes I put them up for everyone to see as well. You can join for $2.99 a month. Same deal on Patreon, same price and the challenges are posted on the Patreon members page on Patreon. Hope this help!
@@DianeAntoneStudio Diane I just now “found/received “ this message. My iPad is acting so weird it frightens me. That’s why I stopped Instagram, I got so nervous! But I appreciate what you said and I have purchased some of your drawings! So I’ll keep following you,
Nice side camera angle.
