Amazing how a few marks on the paper can put the viewer on a bright sunny and windy beach in a short time ! I appreciate your tips -- so good of you to share them -- I know they take years of experience to aquire ♥️
I've been saving this video to watch when I wanted something whimsical and fun to watch - and hopefully to try myself. Diane, you did not disappoint! This is definitely on my list for this week. Thank you! 💜
As always, more techniques and instruction. Thank you. I love that the fence and grasses are all from the same colors, how nicely it blends and works off each other. And pointing out about not having two parallel lines, who knew! I do now! Much appreciated.
Thank you will try that once I feel better maybe later today fingers crossed as not a great night last night I have bowel cancer and waiting for my operation. Painting keeps be going
Sorry to hear that Angela and I hope you get your operation soon, best wishes for a quick recovery and meanwhile painting will definitely help in so many ways. Sending love and prayers xxx
Loved this! I'v been struggling and this video gave me hope! Liked your colors, but I made a traditional sand color. I felt that I could express myself. Thank you for getting me out of my slump. ☺
Thank you Diane, You took me away from the rush and bustling of daily life. It is 14 degrees here. Felt warm and happy with this painting. Thanks so much for sharing your talent and love of creating. I appreciate each video you share. Looking forward to trying this lovely beach. A very happy weekend to you and your fur and feathered babe's. Peace
I have never painted a beach scene so this was a booger trying to get the water and sand to look like I wanted it to look. No more how the painting turned out it was a fun project! Thanks for giving us so many options to paint various things other than just flowers.
Hello Diane, you always amaze me with all kinds of new information. In this video, I have learned that there is a wonderful organization that is cleaning up the ocean floor. Wow! I didn't know. I donated through the organization directly, because this link didn't have a paypal option. I appreciate you educating us, as well, as teaching us. I love your "book". I thought that maybe this book with all of your colorful illustrations is for sale, but it is a blank watercolor journal. What an awesome idea! Thank you.
You are so amazing! I really admire your simplistic style. I live in Louisville Kentucky USA and have just started to follow you on UA-cam. It’s hard to find time to paint. I’m a retired nurse and enjoy watching my two youngest grandchildren. Covid has left me tired where I used to have much more energy. Looking forward to visiting your website. I look forward to more episodes.
Hi Donna and welcome to the channel! So glad you found us. Sorry to hear about your Covid experience, I'm the same, for me it is a reduced ability to breathe since having Covid at the very beginning of the pandemic. At least painting doesn't take much in the way of energy, thank goodness. Have fun trying out some of my really quick and simple doodle paintings. They take neither time nor energy and are quite relaxing to do! Happy viewing and hopefully happy painting!
Yes, I lived in Lyford Cay for several years while my husband was working on the island as an engineer. The Bahamas is a fascinating place with much beauty!
@@DianeAntoneStudio oh my goodness, i have worked at Lyford Cay for 51 years😳😳 you may know many people. Small world👍👍👍 Christa Dunn is wonderful water color artist, as a complete beginner i am drawn to trying it out one day. Best Peter
It’s a small world indeed. I was friends with Christa Dunn when I lived there and went to her studio many times. I didn’t have many friends there, but we did live opposite Sean Connery and my husband used to bump into him on the way to the golf course!
@@DianeAntoneStudio Amazing, Christa is going to Montreal shortly, i will ask to bring me back a few starter supplies. I new Sean well and played lots of golf with him. His wife some times putts a little, with her son close by.👍👍👍❤❤❤
Reminds me of my great aunt Lucy Smith's paintings. I never met her, she lived across the country from me in North Carolina, but my mother and grandmother had prints of hers all over the house. She did mostly seascapes, and my family had some of her florals, too. Her style was tidier than yours, and the details more distant, but the colors remind me a lot of her paintings.
What a lovely memory that is! So glad to be able to evoke thoughts of your great aunt, it's such a blessing to have a family history like that, and I'm honored to be a tiny part of your art world. Best wishes xxx
Diane, this painting is so beautiful and takes one to a place of peace. Thank you for introducing me to Anne Morrow Lindberghs book, Gift from the Sea. I purchased this book, but also listen to the audio as I drift off to sleep. It offers gentle reminders to recognize the beauty of nature before us, a reminder to slow down (not always easy) and the necessity of solitude to help balance a busy life. I'm looking forward to painting this as my reminder. Tamsin, as always, I appreciate your excellent videography and the perfect music choice for a lovely seascape. Thank you both!
Thanks Carolyn as always for your wonderfully perceptive and thoughtful comments! So glad that you’re enjoying that book as well as the videos. I was given a copy by a friend many many years ago in Canada and it’s inscribed by her and I often think of her. Although we lost touch many years ago. So glad that you’re finding it comforting, I’m just wondering where you got the audio version from, do you have Audible?
What a serene and peaceful painting. When you stop and think about your next move, I like to guess where your next brush stroke will be placed....the joy of randomness or the art of placement...either way, always a beautiful result. And thanks for the tip of using wax, so subtle yet so effective. 😁🙏
I love this! I just watched your video from Oct 13. The fall scene. It was really outstanding!!! I would purchase one like that. It's really good. And you make it look so easy. Please do another in that style.
Hi Vicki, thanks so much for your lovely comment, I saw the other one too and I was going to reply. I really appreciate how much you enjoyed it, I will try to get round to doing some more like that! Please give it a try, it’s not actually as hard as you might think! Happy painting!
I used the download sketch for where to put things and painted with replaying the video. Some things turned out better than others. I struggle with making very thin lines for grass. I’m getting better at skies and water. I’ve compared Potter’s Pink and Quin. Gold between paint brands, and they vary a noticeable amount. So when I mix the pink and gold to get a brown it doesn’t come out as dark as yours… it comes out almost like my raw sienna. The blend for green was not as dark as yours, either. I use W&N and Sennelier. It’s very interesting. Thank you for these tutorials, they make painting fun and relaxing, and I’m learning a lot. Oh- I have a jar of masking fluid, and had pretty good results from dipping the end of a small brush handle into it and applying it that way. And it came off to he handle very easily. I don’t use it very often so I want to think about how badly I need the tool.
Hi Gerrie, thanks so much for your comment and your observations, very interesting. It's true that pigments vary greatly. I have a Schmincke burnt sienna, for example, which I like very much less than my Winsor and Newton burnt sienna. And Quin Gold varies enormously too. It's the best reason I know for sticking to specific brands, ones which have a reputation for consistency so you can rely on them. I don't use Sennelier at all because it has honey in it and I live in a damp climate where it goes mouldy once out of the tube, so I can't comment on that. My Potters Pink is Schmincke and I find it a good granulating version. Try increasing the ratio of paint to water if you want a darker mix, maybe you just had too much water in the mix to make a dark color. Otherwise I don't know what the problem might be. Glad you are enjoying the videos, many thanks again, Diane.
Apologies if you discuss this later in the video, but I don’t want to forget yet again to ask this. What is the difference between the sword liner and rigger in terms of uses and effects?
I’m general, a sword liner has more hairs and is shaped with a curved blade. It gives larger flickier strokes than the rigger, ideal for grasses. The rigger is just a long, thin round brush, originally used for painting the rigging on a sailing boat. Also good for grasses and calligraphic marks. Hope this is helpful x
You are so amazing Diane!! I am an “old” new painter haha 63… I just can’t get the colors you do even though I use the same colors😢. Any advise or can you show your water and tell us exactly what you are doing, I am so, so frustrated!!!
That Caribbean blue ..oh wow. Beautiful.
Very nice! By the by, I enjoy the sound of the rain! Soothing. The fence is that special touch that makes me like I’m there.❤️
Another seaside painting! So refreshing. Thanks Diane
You are so welcome! So glad you were happy with it!
Wow…that is SO beautiful! You are an incredible teacher, Diane! the Oceanside is SO inviting…love this a lot! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

do I hear a roaster in the background ?
@@pyromancyglassart8975 yes, it wouldn’t be a Diane Antone tutorial without the rooster chiming in 🥰
That'll be Michael and Gabriel doing their thing!

You are so amazing Diane!! I am an “old” new painter haha 63… I just can’t get the colors you do even though I use the same colors😢. Any advise or can you show your water and tell us exactly what you are doing, I am so, so frustrated!!!
Some of the more recent videos use ready-mixed paints and that might help Geri, I find the Kuretake set is very helpful from that point of view.
As always - love this. Question: how do you remove the "wax" resist or do you leave it on the paper?
Thanks Anne, and no, you don't need to remove the wax, it can't be seen and it doesn't affect the finished painting x
Mine was OK except for that sand hill 😢. But, oh well live and learn 😊❤
Hi Diane
What is the tool you used to apply the masking fluid.
Cant find it in your description
Thanks for pointing out that it was missing. I've added a link now :)
Thanks for your ideas 👍 what kind of wax pencil is it? I have never heard before of it. Regads, Katja
Hi Katja, thanks very much for your comment, it wasn’t a wax pencil it was just a piece of wax candle!
@@DianeAntoneStudio thanks for your reply 👍🤗
Where is the link for the color shaper (masking fluid applicator)? Thanks!
Thanks for pointing out that it was missing. I've added a link to the description now.
Did I hear a rooster crowing ?
That's Gabriel and Michael. Diane has added to her brood...
Yep, it wouldn’t be a Diane Antone tutorial without the rooster chiming in 🥰
That's great to hear, I'll let Michael and Gabriel know their contributions are not going unappreciated!
