  • Today’s project is a two-in-one. We’re going to practice our wet-in-wet technique, and at the same time create a cute greetings card we can use for anyone and for any occasion.
    It’s a simple design of three stylised cats, and I’m using the lovely A. Gallo paints to create this, on a piece of Arches 140lb watercolor paper, cold pressed.

    Hi Diane! I cannot thank you enough for sharing your gift with the world! I could NEVER imagine me, holding onto a brush and painting ANYTHING other tba my walls or my nails 💅. I've started to learn the art of Lettering. It was while I was looking for a specific video when I "Stumbled" on to your Lil slice of heaven right here in UA-cam! What a gift IS youtube, right? Learning his to paint with a fabulous artist like you and my Lettering coaches, I'm having the best time. Thank you fir making something I NEVER EVER thought i could do... painting an actual... thing! A "subject".. something I will look back on and say to myself, "Not too bad old girl! Not too bad at all. I wish I could show you my progress but I have absolutely NO WAY of knowing how to do that so i'll just let your imagination run amuck!!😂🙂 Again, thank you for making something SO DIFFICULT... so easy!❤

    I really enjoy your whimsical pictures. It really is a great help to lose the fear of the watercolor technique! In my case it is a great help to learn to let go and wait for the work to dry and see the path of the water and the pigment, which fascinate me...Thank you!!

    Favorite ever!!! They are so cute. My mind is racing with variations. You know you can easily remove that bottom flap with no damage to the palette whatsoever. I use a tiny screwdriver to insert in end of the flap where it joins the palette and push out the small metal rod that holds it. I save mine. Keep thinking I will use them-but haven't so far.

    • @DianeAntoneStudio
      @DianeAntoneStudio  2 роки тому +2

      Thanks so much for your support Beth! When you see the latest dragonfly video you'll notice that by then I'd figured that out, with the help of my daughter (who's an engineer by trade!) I might put the lids back on at some point so I've slotted the rods back into the hinge edges where they stay without any problem. Thanks for mentioning this though! Happy painting!!
