I knew exactly what you meant by do da’s lol. My brushes are on the way. I do hope they come with some Diane magic built in 😀. I love this very loose style, it is beautiful. Thank you
I love this one ...I painted along with you, I love the videos because I can stop them to catch up, I am getting better thanks to you🥰making all of my Christmas cards this year!!!! Thanks to your help!!
Thanks so much for sharing your pallet invention. Lovely bells. I takes me back to grade school when each kid got a whole chalk board for displaying our art. Parents walked through our 3 roomed school house and went to our Christmas play before we were released for Christmas vacation.
It is such a pleasure and a great learning experience to watch you paint. You make it look effortless. I thank you for all I am learning from you, and applying to the things I am painting apart from your tutorials. I see my own style peeping out, but your techniques are such a great influence on me. I still love watching you paint, painting with you, and I love your brushes! ❤
This brings me right back to my childhood in the 1950s, in London, England. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing 😊. Lovely painting Diane, and a great idea for the pallet.
Yes, I think that’s true for me too, as I talked about the bell Christmas card I never painted at school for the competition - that would have been in 1964!
So beautiful! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, tips trips, ideas (same as thoughts? lol) and interesting comments. Wow that is some wind if I heard it. At first I didn't connect that you were out in the country and was thinking it city traffic....oh my. We get our share of wind here on the desert in CA, USA. Have a wonderful day!😀
The way you do the paint is just outstanding I didn't think of that I think that is a great idea and I love bells a Christmas I collect them and one of the things I collect the other ones in the activity seats have a great great great great great great day all you and your family Happy Thanksgiving from AJ and d
SUPER IDEA! I have the big pallet and the lid! Going to do that tomorrow! Also excited about ordering your brushes! Happy happy! We do love you! XXXOX❤️❤️❤️ I looked it up, and they ARE refillable! I just received mine! Grand fun coming!🤗❤️
So lovely, the colours are rich and gorgeous❤ Also never boring to watch you draw, I find your tips eg how to do butterfly wings, sheep faces etc invaluable 😊
That palette idea is brilliant. I might try this as I don't use my Kuretake paints as often as I would like. I am glad your brushes sold out - I can hardly wait now to receive them. These quick little christmas ideas are great as I do my own cards for Christmas and these are fabulous. thank you so much.
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous. I will definitely paint these. But i can guarantee you i will not be able to do it in 25 minutes, even if i use my watercolor pens. 😊 Thank you so much for all your posts.
Such rich colors and bells that shine ! The repeat of the gold amid the greenery is stunning. Thank you. Will watch again. Had the sound off snd want to hear your commentary.
This is charming! Thank you for a new design as I’m deep into making my Christmas cards now and am a bit late due to both my Husband and I having some mean virus…or maybe had some tainted food…not sure. However, we’re better, I needed a new design and this is a lovely one!
I just ordered the Kuretaki paints on Amazon 49% off! Ive been looking at them a long time. I really like the palette you created. Thanks for the great bell card.
Bonjour Diane , j aime bien comme tu as arrange tes aquarelles , c est vrai que les kuretake ca manque d un espace pour melanger . Elles sont pas mal tes cloches bien colorees ca fait Noel . C est vrai que quand on regarde un dessin beaucoup plus tard on le voit autrement . Moi je reviens souvent dans un dessin qui me plait pas . Ce que j aime dessiner a Noel c est des santons . Je te dis tout ca juste pour partager un peu avec toi qui je suis , a vrai dire je suis ton oppose , c est ce qui m attire . Bises a bientot mon amie ... Ah ! tu sais qu il y a des cloches autour du cou des vaches et elles sont tres jolies et le cuir qui les maintiens de vrai petites oeuvres d art ...
Enjoying this series. TY. I was wondering if your familiar with art spectrum artist grade water colors? I had a chance to pick up a set for good $. Doing really need them but don't want to miss out.
Fondest memory of being in the Bell choir & wearing white gloves & the beautiful music 🎶
It is beautiful. I enjoy listening to you. Gave a lovely day.
So pretty.❤
Gorgeous! Thanks so much!
I find all your videos encouraging and entertaining. Thank you.
Glad you like them!❤️

Such a beautiful drawing and then a painting!
You do make me smile Diane ❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧
The bells are beautiful ❤
Gorgeous vintage Christmas Bells. Love the genius idea of the gold pen works at the end of the video. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much!
Thank you for the idea about putting the pans out of the box! Cute bells!
Cheers, this is perfect for our summer Christmas here in Aus 😊
Absolutely loved this Diane. 👍🏻👍🏻
I've always had a thing for Christmas bells, these are great! Thanks for sharing...🔔🎀🎄
This is gorgeous, xxxx 🎄
I love this idea for a palette with my fav Kuretake paints!
Very nice. I remember those cards! ❤
My daughter (15) and I just finished painting along. So fun to see how all of ours look different! Really enjoyed this one, thanks!
Love this one!!!
So glad!
My most favourite Christmas Card so far. Love it. Thank you ❤❤❤
Beautiful. I still have so much to learn when it comes to being loose.
You can do it! Have fun Amanda!❤️
Love it, Diane!
My favorite Christmas card ever. This is beautiful. 🥰
Thank you so much Teresa!

You are brilliant creating your new pallet! And, such a cute painting/ tutorial!
Yes! I love this one. Definitely going to do it. And thanks so much for the drawing…you’re right, bells are difficult to draw.
OMG Feel like a little kid again. Vintage Bells for sure. Can’t wait to paint them. Love how you arranged the Kuretake pans. Thank you!
We need a 2023 Diane Antone Christmas list! 🧑🎄
Coming soon!
It is such a pleasure and a great learning experience to watch you paint. You make it look effortless. I thank you for all I am learning from you, and applying to the things I am painting apart from your tutorials. I see my own style peeping out, but your techniques are such a great influence on me.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind comment, Tamyra, it’s a lovely Christmas gift for me to read it!
So true Diane, Ive been very surprised several times when my least favorite painting was purchased and described far more attractive than I saw it.
I agree! The ones I labored over and was unsure about drew people to them with nice comments…such a surprise!
It’s strange but true!!!❤️
So cheerful, Diane! And... your beautiful brushes sold out so quickly - congrats on your success!
Thank you so much! We’re going to have a second edition soon - available on Craftamo website now!
You are so funny. I really enjoy watching your tutorial. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
I really like the way this turned out. It does look a bit vintagey..Thanks for this inspiration.
Thanks so much! 😊
Very beautiful Diane!
Thank you so much!
Not at all boring to watch you draw! Thanks for doing it.
This brings me right back to my childhood in the 1950s, in London, England. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing 😊. Lovely painting Diane, and a great idea for the pallet.

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

SO beautiful. Love the colors and all the greenery. Can't wait to try my hand at bells. (And, by the way, you are not boring!)
I like being able to do what you did because I can label each color plus a mixing space. What a great idea
Thanks!
SUPER IDEA! I have the big pallet and the lid! Going to do that tomorrow! Also excited about ordering your brushes! Happy happy! We do love you! XXXOX❤️❤️❤️
I looked it up, and they ARE refillable! I just received mine! Grand fun coming!🤗❤️
I love the idea for the new palette setup! Lovely card as well
Thanks so much Jessica!
This is so charming! And each of your tutorials has some comment that makes me laugh out loud! It helps me to keep them loose. Thanks!
I love these. You have taught me so much by watching and following along. Thank you from your lovely French friend! hahaha
Beautiful!!
So lovely, the colours are rich and gorgeous❤ Also never boring to watch you draw, I find your tips eg how to do butterfly wings, sheep faces etc invaluable 😊
Beautiful. I love this. Thank you
So lovely and I appreciate watching you draw because it has improved my drawing as well so thank you...Blessings Jo
That was gorgeous Diane. Beautiful rich colours. Really cheered me up on a wet and windy day, by the sea, on the South Coast of England 😊
That is a fantastic idea for a Palette for the Gansai Tambi paints! Loving your Christmas Card series.
Thank you so much!

Had the sound off snd want to hear your commentary.
Well this was unexpected I really messed up but when I walked away I’m good with it ❤
This is charming! Thank you for a new design as I’m deep into making my Christmas cards now and am a bit late due to both my Husband and I having some mean virus…or maybe had some tainted food…not sure. However, we’re better, I needed a new design and this is a lovely one!
Glad you are both feeling better Patricia, and I’m so glad you like the card!!
I just ordered the Kuretaki paints on Amazon 49% off! Ive been looking at them a long time. I really like the palette you created. Thanks for the great bell card.
That’s great, I know you’ll enjoy them and I’m glad you liked the card!
Please send the elves to my house!😅

Tell us about the pens you used, please. Love this card!
Enjoying this series. TY. I was wondering if your familiar with art spectrum artist grade water colors? I had a chance to pick up a set for good $. Doing really need them but don't want to miss out.
I am, and I love them but haven’t been able to find them in France and getting them from Australia is super costly and difficult 😢
I have found the reds in the Kuretake set to be quite pink. Not so much the Christmas red.
I haven't been able to get those brushes to work! I am so disappointed in them. You use them so effortlessly.
Diane, how do you store your paint pens? I bought them and have them in the original container which isn’t convenient.
