Diane, your videos are never boring. I appreciate that you always take the time to describe what you are doing and why. Thank you for taking the time to teach us.
You are so welcome!
Wow, this video raised over 60.000 $, congratulations Diane. Love those paints by Alina Gallo, she is also an artist herself. Lovely flowers and plants. So glad You Tube recommended this to me, a year after you painted it.
I love this, Diane! Thank you, again and again, for the treasure trove of videos you’ve created - they’re such a source of inspiration and comfort!
I watch your videos all the way through. Not boring at all.
My 154 th. One has to slow down and have PATIENCE . The drawing part shows you are an excellent drawer. I have to practice practice and practice 😅😂. I hope I have some good amount living time left to watch and enjoy my own development. I have no other goal then going from one to an other practice and learn and enjoy from it. Thanks for supporting. 😊wim
We can never do but hope and go from day to day - sending health and years of life wishes - xxx
I haven't gone anywhere. I have enjoyed this very much.
Twice now actually.
Still here! NEVER bored to tears when watching you paint! Also enjoy your rooster's input! 🐓
Wow ❤ to the end! A plethora of lessons in this one painting😍 AWESOME!
This is very pretty, Dianne! ❤ Thanks for the detailed sketch and painting. I love how you talk about these herbs and their medicinal properties as though such knowledge should be commonnplace amongst human beings? Just beautifully presented in your Brit sort of way. ❤😊❤
I love the Rooster calling😊
Loved this one....it is my next venture. Not at all bored. Hope you have a wonderful time on your trip to England in spite of going to the dentist! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much Mary, so glad you enjoyed it!
Loved watching you draw, just wish I could replicate your wonderful drawings. Love your calming conversation and views on life. Thank you for your time in sharing your art.
Thank you so much Jenny, much appreciated x 😀
yah!!! Herbs!!! Very pretty!
I’m here and enjoying from start to finish. 😊
Thank you so much, and a merry Christmas and a blessed new year to you and your loved ones!
I have watched this entire, inspiring video!
I did enjoy this. So relaxing with a lovely outcome.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Diane for the conversation about Brittany. During our travels we never went in that direction. I lived in Buenos Aires (Argentina) when my late husband and I visited France, but we only stayed in Paris for a few days. Due to your comments, I researched Brittany on Wikipedia and am a little bit less ignorant. 🙃 ...And by the way, I love what you paint and the way you explain what and why you do things.
Thanks so much for your interesting comment Maria. Sorry you never visited Brittany but I think Paris is probably more interesting anyway! Thanks very much also for your support which I appreciate greatly, and I’m so glad that you are enjoying the videos!
This is beautiful and fun to paint!
Thanks so much 😊
I learned at least one thing from this video!! So excited! I can't wait to try it. I've only begun drawing & watercoloring just in the past year & a half (I'm 67 😁, started a bit late lol). I've struggled with wildflower/herb stems becoming too thick! I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong....until I saw you painting a nice, thin stem (several actually). You had your hand down low near the bristles but not *on* them, and close to the paper....and I almost shouted, "Eureka"!!!! So I have been busy today but I will try your technique tonight. I'm so ecstatic, cannot wait!! 😁😁😁 thanks Diane!! PS, I was trying to upgrade my tier to support you on Patreon. I was on a lower tier, and as I explained to my hubby, how good it is to support people like you who give US so much!! It's only right, and it's only a few bucks!! I appreciate you, and want to support your work. But I can't go up any higher, it won't let me finish! Can you tell me what to do? I try to upgrade, but it says, it didn't go through, please retry. Can you help? Thanks Diane 🌹
Hi Julie, thanks so much for your lovely comments, and I’m so glad you have started to paint, no time like the present! I’m sorry to hear you are having problems with Patreon membership. Sadly there is nothing we can do to help as we don’t have any control of the system used by Patreon. All I can suggest is that you try contacting them by email and asking them to solve the problem. I did have the same sort of thing happen to me recently when I tried to subscribe to another creator on Patreon and the system wouldn’t work. Eventually it did work. Good luck and thanks so much for your generosity, it is very much appreciated by both of us xxxxx
Enjoyed to the end... marvelous. I grow these herbs and look forward to painting when we get moved. You are so proficient it is a joy to follow u.
Thanks Tacy, that’s a lovely complement, appreciate it xxx
This is a lovely video Diane. I learn so much about watercolour from you. It has really helped me to loosen up. It was interesting to hear you lived in Exeter. That is where I am and have always lived here.
This is absolutely beautiful! I throughly enjoy every minute of your videos. 🙋♀️ Here till the end. ❤️
So glad you enjoyed this one, it’s one of my favourites too!
@Diane Antone Studio I actually don't think I've ever seen anything you've done that I haven't just loved. I such a newbie with no time to do more so it's so much watching your videos. ❤️
Never thought of using my gardening books for subject matter. Mind you, I have tried painting the dying sunflowers……it turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself, considering I only decided to try my hand at painting, a couple of months ago. First time at doing art. Practicing might be a good idea.
Gorgeous!!!
I really liked this painting. For some reason flowers or plants rather just seem easier for me to draw and paint. Thanks for taking us through your process.
Loved it. Must do it for my daughter.
Have fun!
That was really wonderful. As always I love listening to your chattering.
I can't believe that you just draw and not even have to erase anything once!
I would be rubbing away until the paper wears thin 😆
Thanks Diane. Good luck with the dentist.
Thanks Maria, really appreciate your comments, and I hope that you enjoy having a go at this painting. Happy painting!
Love it ❤
You are a warm relaxing beautiful lady, I enjoy listening to your stories also and fantastic art style, your a treasure 😊
Thanks so much for your kind words, so glad you are enjoying the videos !
Loved this. My mom was from Lannion in Bretagne.
It’s enjoyable to watch your brush techniques. You make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing your time.
Loved this so much! Your voice is so relaxing and I am amazed at how patient you are ~ something I need to learn. Thank you for sharing your art with us!
Still here, not bored
Love, love this one. I will definitely try it as it reminds me of the art by charlotte Voake in her little book Mon Guide Des Fleurs Sauvages. I found it in the States, but you probably see it everywhere in France. I can only translate Wild Flowers - but love the pictures. Thank you for your daily inspiration. I watch all the videos.
Hi Mariette, I haven’t come across Charlotte Voake but I looked her up. She’s Welsh, and that book was originally written in English. I have never seen it or her online. So glad you enjoy the videos I make, and have fun doing the paintings!
So lovely 💐
I was so sad I had to give away my extensive herb (in USA the h is silent) garden we moved 1600 miles right before the dreaded big P happened. From tropical South Carolina to the high mountain desert climate!
5 things I missed the most was my dentist, specialist doctors, hairdresser & great Grocery stores! & my Herb Garden!
New Mexico economy was destroyed by our tyrannical governor !
That's a soapbox I will not get on or this would be never ending post!
I empathize with you very much! Keep praying we get back to normalcy!
Hi Deb, sorry to hear that you had to leave behind your beloved garden. I can understand how that felt. I sometimes wonder how I would cope if I had to leave my home now, at this stage of life when you can hardly expect to recreate everything yet again. Thanks so much for your support! Happy painting and better times!
Thank you for your wonderful classes & I love your artwork and thank you for teaching 💕🎨😊 Maria
Not bored at all. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you!
I loved your whole process, wasn’t bored to tears and I can’t wait to do my own herbs piece.
Yes. Patience.
A lovely array of herbs and such! It is perfect for me to attempt to paint as a gift for a friend! Thank you.❤️
Hello….. been really enjoying this video from a long time ago …. Practising my loose painting and sketching too… trying not to rely too much on your fab free sketches….. just wondered if you still see these comments on older videos… as haven’t commented recently on your recent (also wonderful tutorials )!!!
Such a GREAT channel!!!!👍🏻…. Can’t keep up with you….. by the sound of the cockerel…. You’re up at the crack of dawn every day and often post tutorials late evening 🤗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Viv, I’m up before dawn every day to get a good start and today is worse than usual as we had a couple of emotional moments yesterday which prevented me from doing my usual routine. The light has appeared now but it’s raining, no sunshine. Yes, I do see comments on older videos, I don’t reply to all of them as there are so many, but I really appreciate every single one and every single view. I’m so glad you’re watching some of the earlier videos, which are perhaps more skilled than the recent ones which I’ve been doing, I won’t go into why! Lovely to hear from you xxx
I live wath you do
Lovely painting tutorial! 🌸🌿🌺
I am ‘greened’ out Diane 😅 it’s a lovely practice and a soothing tutorial - thank you so much !
Stayed all the way through! Not at all bored! Thanks for the great idea and your instruction. I plan to do this for my kitchen.
Thanks so much for your kind words, so glad you are enjoying the videos !
Nice idea to have a meandering theme..really like the greens in particular
I love it, thanks for again a wonderful tutorial Diane!
You are so welcome!
Love it! I keep checking your page to see if the sketch is up yet. I watched the whole video, but in chunks because it was long and I was working. But I would take breaks and watch for a while.
You have a wealth of gadgets and tools. Love your tutorials.
Yes I do! Including a lot of things I inherited...
Never bored! Just fantastic 😊
Oh, thanks so much for that! Very kind xxx
Great! You're so knowledgeable and talented. I'm going to look in my Book of the British countryside.
I really like botanicals and enjoyed this immensely. Many thanks! Hope your trip goes okay.
You're so welcome, so glad you are enjoying the videos, thanks for commenting!
I really love botanicals as a subject. This is a wonderful painting of some of my all time favorites like Ladies Mantel and Calendula. Will try this one for framing if it turns out ☺. Thanks Diane.
Hi Teresa and thanks for your comment! So glad you enjoyed the painting tutorial - it was heaven ; to paint so I'm sure you'll enjoy giving it a go!
Enjoyed this video!
This is really lovely! You're so good at drawing. I may try this. And I'm going to try the A Gallo paints. I've heard so much good of them. I also like her philosophy about the chemicals and the respectful attitude of old artists and the paints they used. Nostalgic
Thank you so much 😀
Stayed til the end...Love it!!! I am going to try this for sure. I am so amazed as well as to how patient you are in your drawing and painting...
Thanks Sundie, glad you enjoyed this one, it's certainly one of my top favorites!
💖💖💖💖💖💖
Oh, thanks so much for that! Very kind xxx
This one was lovely one. Going to attempt this for a friend. Thank you for sharing your videos. Peace
Thanks Aline, that's a lovely comment, so glad you are enjoying the channel xxx
I lived in England for about 3 years in the mid 70s. I had friends who lived in a village called Detling, outside Maidstone. From there, I visited Canterbury a few times. I loved the city, especially the cathedral. I am familiar with the dean’s UA-cam channel. His garden is beautiful! Apart from the deb
Hi Deirdre, it's a small world! I was in that area in the 70s - we might have passed on the streets! I lived for a while in East Malling, and for a long time in Borough Green, and often drove up Detling Hill when I worked in Chatham and on the Isle of Sheppey. I had friends who lived near Detling. We got married in Wrotham church - you will no doubt remember some of these place names. We also lived in Canterbury for some years, so Kent is my old stamping ground so to speak, and I always feel more at home here than anywhere else in the world, having been born and raised all over the county!
@@DianeAntoneStudio wow...it is a small world! I remember the area well. Chatham was such a pretty place. I lived in London as I worked at the South African embassy for a couple of years. That’s what allowed me to stay in England for so long. I probably would have stayed if I had been able to. Africa is beautiful on a grand scale but England is incredibly pretty. Also, I prefer the climate. I don’t enjoy the heat! Thank God it’s autumn here and starting to cool down. I hope your visit to the dentist goes well.
Beautiful herbal painting! Was there still a art store? I hope so,what a treat! Thank you so much❤😊
No art store Patti, just Amazon!
@@DianeAntoneStudio oh shucks,I hoped you had a happy art store experience. Maybe in the future one will be opened again. We can hope!
❤
This was lovely….I could not find the traceable on your website…?
So many I did find…thanks for offering those
so many artists do not offer the traceable. I love your
work…🌺
Hi Sue, I haven't put the tracing up yet, and I'm away from the studio right now, but it will be put up in about 10 days when I get home from England to France! Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate your support xxx
Such a lovely project and I am eager to try the drawing on my own. Love the pace of this and your comments as you go. Were you using the backside of your enamel tray? Looks like a good idea! I don't have A Gallo paints, but I should be able to come up with all those greens, mixing some up ahead of time. This is lovely and a great idea for a gift (I have just the person in mind) This is perfect for spring! Thank you as always. D
Thanks so much Denise for your much appreciated comment. Can't remember without checking what I used to mix the paint colors on - I probably used my butcher's tray, or anything white will do! Hope you're enjoying your trip!!!
Gorgeous, I love listening to your narrative. I have a victorian flowers picture book I would love to paint from but the sketching part stops me. Hope your dentist visit goes well. Enjoy the shops.
Hi Kim, I know what you mean, and I always feel nervous before I actually put pencil to paper. All you can do is start, and keep practising. I believe everyone can draw if they practise enough. I haven't done a traceable sketch for this one, but if you have a picture book you love you could even try tracing the pictures from there if you don't want to draw. OR - paint without drawing!!!!
🤗🤗💕💕💕💕🤗🤗
Thanks Joan as always!
Thank you ! Will do this for my herb- loving sister -- her birthday is in April. I missed the name of the book you used for reference -- would you please tell me again -- I got the old English one you talked about a while ago and love it.♥️😊
Richard Mabey is the author
I printed out the pattern & there's a good portion missing. Thought you might want to know.
I ordered an herb book so I can go by it. I hope it's as lovely as yours!
Hi Deb, I think there is a solution to the print out and I’m going to write a description of exactly how to do it and put it everywhere for all to see.

Love all the lovely herbs. It seems so easy. I will definitely try this. You didnt put the flower on tha alcamilous mollies. Does that mean the flower is not useful in medical medicine - ????
Hey Diane - just curious if you have a watercolor book? I really enjoy your paintings and would love to see your book if you have one....Thanks
That's a great idea! Maybe one day! It's wonderful that you are finding inspiration in my videos, thanks so much for sharing and happy painting!!
I loved watching this. I hope I can paint just one. Suddenly I feel like I can’t paint at all. I grab my paint brush and I just panic and stiffen up. Does this happen to anyone else? I’m so upset with myself. Your painting is so fluid and lovely, Diane. I want just a teeny bit of that!!
Hi Angie, yes - YES - it happens to all of us! I have almost given up painting entirely more than once because of this sort of paralysis. It happens for so many reasons. Sometimes it happened to me because of people's comments, sometimes my health, sometimes pressure of work, and sometimes for no reason at all. Try painting something big and splashy with a large brush and cheap paper and paint and promise yourself you'll throw it out when it's done no matter what. Then you might find the block breaks. Have fun, enjoy!
I do too. I don't like anything I've painted lately.
Thats great advice Diane, I ll be sure to try it!
@@DianeAntoneStudio Thank you, Diane. Knowing that it happens to a painter like you makes me feel better. I’ll take your advice. We are our own worst critics. I know that. I’ll do exactly what you say. I’ll splash pretty colors around on cheap paper and throw it in the bib.
@@darleneplant.6284 Shall we both follow Diane's advice. I think the trouble (with me, anyway) is that I become totally goal oriented. I’m not at the point in my painting where everything is ok. I forget to enjoy the act of painting itself. Maybe it’s a woman thing. My husband can mess up a project and just start over without a worry. Good luck to us both, Darlene.
I think my brushes are a little too soft to get the, quick, fine lines.
Such an exquiset job. Well, i can't spell.
Do you think the paints are worth the price? What is the biggest difference from say Paul Reuben , or other name brands?
The A Gallo paints are definitely a luxury in my opinion. If you feel strongly about not buying from large companies and are happy to pay four times the price for handmade paints then this is a good choice. The paints are good, but to be honest, I am just as happy painting with cheaper paints for the kind of work I do. I was lucky and was given the A Gallo paints as a present, but I would not have bought them myself. For professional quality I would still stick to Winsor and Newton, Daler Rowney, Schmincke, Sennelier, Daniel Smith, M. Graham and Old Holland as my choice of brands with credibility and responsibility. For a beginner, I recommend Meeden because their price/quality ratio is good. Hope this helps!
What is the name of your beautiful Herb book?
Hi Deb, this is the book amzn.to/3PwK9aQ It’s called the Complete New Herbal by Richard Mabey. Hope you can find it on amazon. I found a used copy for about $7. Thanks for watching and commenting!
