I echo all the sentiments here. I am not a real frequent visitor, but when I do catch an episode, I am totally engrossed. I ordered some little Meeden supplies to try and start dipping into watercolor. Breaking into those virgin paint wells is going to be hard… they are so pretty to look at. Both my sisters paint with acrylics and sometimes oil. They say “Oh, watercolor is so hard and unforgiving!” But I have always been attracted to the effervescence of watercolor. Watching you inspires me to not be too serious - just do some fun things putting color on paper. May you enjoy the holidays and I wish you a great 2025.
Hi Diane. I found myself unexpectedly alone for Christmas. My hubby's flight home yesterday was cancelled due to fog. On the plus side, it's been peaceful ❤
I finally got some of your watercolor paint and paper ( for Christmas of course) so, I’m excited to try some blobby birds, colorful cats and all the other fun things I’ve been watching you do for awhile now! Merry merry Christmas Diane- you bring more joy than you realize and I’m greatful for your skill and your ability to not take life too seriously- it doesn’t help in the long run 😊 I adore you 🥰Franci Jones
Cute, cheerful bird painting! By now it is Boxing Day where you are; I trust you and your family had a good Christmas, and wish you a happy rest of the festive season!
These are so cute! I love your blobby birds. You and all the community here brighten my Christmas! Thank you so much for giving your time on Christmas Day! Now I’m going to swatch out my brand new Kuretake Art Nouveau and my Starry Colors paints!❤
I'm not fast in becoming a member anywhere, but this year I'm giving the membership as gift to myself. And coming here really sometimes helps me breathing. It's important what you are doing, thank you, Diane.
Merry Christmas to you and Tamson and your husband I know I’m not the only one here that appreciates all that you do for this community. Tamson does so much and we’re just grateful for you. My next year bring even more blessings for you and your family.
Because of you, Diane, I picked up paint & brushes just over a year ago. I've made 5 (nice enough) paintings to frame and hang on a wall in our home. Thank you!
Hello Diane...hubby and I found ourselves alone for Christmas because of sickness in the family...will have to celebrate at a later date. Thank you for the video, enjoyed it so much..hugs! deb
What a lovely surprise to turn on YT and find that you’ve posted a new painting. Two very colourful and cheerful birds, Christmas cheer for sure, thanks Diane, happy Christmas
Happy Christmas to you and your family as well! Thank you so very much for taking the time to make us a video on Christmas Day. Your blobby birds got me started in this wonderful medium and they always cheer me up! My husband and I spent Xmas eve and day with our two Dachshunds, and have been preparing for family to visit beginning tomorrow. Currently, the puppy, Miss Gracie, is tugging on her playpen, begging me to pick her up so we can watch the rest of your video together. Sending much love from Minnesota.
Hi Diane! Merry Christmas! I love your new jumper (sweater to us Americans 😊) It's so pretty! The blobby birds are so cute...both of them and you make it look so easy. Thank you for gifting us with a video on this Christmas Day. Hope you and Tamsin and your husband had a beautiful Christmas!😊❤🌲
I bought some of the Lightwish watercolors from Amazon that you demonstrated and I just love them. A Christmas present to myself. Haaa. They were inexpensive compared to my Winsor Newtons. Such a nice presentation and with the wonderful pink cloth, nice box and the tray which is not light. I got a 48 half pan set and will buy more, and it came with a lovely brush. Thanks again. I appreciate all of your videos.
Merry Christmas Diane and family thank you for All your videos but this one cheered me up as we had to have our fur baby released to the doggie heaven on 25th Nov this year so it's our 1st Christmas without him he was 13 and his back legs went .❤❤❤
Hi Diane, this is a happy little painting! Thank you for having a painting tutorial ready for us as we are now a day past Christmas. I hope yours was wonderful, we enjoyed ours very much with family and friends. Were you able to make your hazelnut meringue gateau? It sounds delicious. I'm going to start on some New Year cards today so I will be looking back at some of your previous tutorials. Wishing you, Tamsin, and all a happy, healthy, and peaceful new year - 2025 is almost here!
Merry Christmas Diane! Thank you for the video. My husband and I are both home alone today, we are sick with some bug going round. This video is much appreciated!❤

My Lightwish watercolor set is $10 more now at Amazon, because I bought mine on Black Friday. No fun.
