Dear Diane, it has been awhile since I sent appreciation for you . I love your content (except when you are hard on yourself😉) but it’s you and your voice and stories which are so comforting while I art alone all day. I imagine that your voice is the comforting mother I wish I had experienced and my usually unsettled nervous system calms right down. Do you realize how special you are? I hope you do and that someone close to you is telling you what a wonderful difference you make in the world. Blessings from the Kansas prairie.❤️

Hi “art tulip” and thanks so much for your kind words ! I’m so glad you enjoyed this video and that you find them comforting. I also didn’t have a mother to comfort me when I was young so I suppose that’s one reason why I tend to be hard on myself - I expect criticism not approval! So it’s great to have guys like you reassuring me that what I do is helpful - thank you so much and sending you love and blessings from the wilds of Brittany! Xxx

I brought these lovely colors and I'm glad I'm so did. Thank you.

You just said not to copy, but that's why I watch your videos. I just started painting after raising 6 kids and working. Painting with you is giving me such joy and the skills to do my own, so Thank You ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for this generous compilation! 💕

I agree about not copying. I get inspiration from other people but then I put my spin on it. Painting along with you tube artists has helped me because I get a ton of practice as a beginner. I am now at the place where I can do so much more on my own.

Diane what wonderful words of wisdom you speak re copying and art work in general…

Made the first three and had trouble deciding which one to give my daughter in law for a birthday card. Settled on the first one…whimsical bird. I think that should will love it

Thoroughly enjoy all of your painting tutorials, you’re very gifted, you’re a treasure here on KZread 🤍🤍🤍🙏🏼🕊️🕊️🤍

I tried the quirky bird today. First a practice one and then one in my painting journel. It turned out so pretty! Thank you, you are a wonderful teaching and you are very calming to watch. I've been trying a number of your birds, I've done the cute bird family and three round birds, and three cats! My family is very impressed. I'm 67 and I just started. Your designs are so cute!

Really enjoyed watching your work. And, got some fresh ideas to try my own click, ya know ❤ Indiana, USA Thank you for sharing with us.

I've loved watching this Diane,I've not watched it in one go just a few paintings at a time. You made me laugh when you said take an idea and run with it, I'm going to name drop here AHUM! When I met the Queen Camilla , I decided to paint a hedgehog, just a card for a friend , and as we were asked by the organiser if we could take along our hobbies to work on while HRH walked around, I decided to take my card,I also painted a fairy on a toadstool with hedgehog and a few other animals, she went along chatting with everyone when she got to me she said 'Oh I do love your Hedgehog ' which caused a few sniggers around the men on our table and something I now have to live with , Anyway I said 'Do you ? She said yes I know how hard it is to paint woodland creatures. I didn't believe her either but it was lovely of her . While I was talking to the queen someone took a rather nice photograph of us ,I sent it to my brother in law who keeps a copy on his phone, he told me last week that when he's at his favourite hostilery, he often shows people a close up photo of me,while they are wondering why? he panns out and Queen Camilla appears, apparently it's going down a storm in the pub, so when l walked into the pub at Christmas I was asked by a few people what was it like to meet the Queen 😂 Oh the price of fame !!! Happy New Year everyone ☺

I painted this whimsical bird for a little girl I’m trying to encourage. I feel sure she will really like it! She loves art and music which makes me hope we can be friends!

Loved each and everyone!

Beautiful painting. I hope one day to be able to create such beauty!❤

Super painting session. Really enjoyed the tip about using tracing paper for eye placement. You always have such great lessons along with calming painting. I’m still watching the rest. Have a Happy Easter, or Mother’s Day - whichever is coming up for you.

Hi Lynne, and thanks so much for your kind comment! It’s always difficult to know what to do regarding the music, but we have learnt over the years that people prefer it without, in general. Although for the latest long video that we just put up we decided to go for a mixture, and of all 10 projects about half have got some quiet music in the background! if we make it quiet enough I think it often can be tolerated even by those of us who are sensitive to it. Personally I don’t like listening to other peoples videos when they have music so I totally understand your feelings! Hope you enjoy watching this one again later and painting something along with it. These long videos have turned out to be a real favourite amongst many people. Sending your best wishes, with love from Diane XXX

The Tiller Girls !!! 🎉🥳. Fabulous. Sunday Night at the London Palladium ! That’s a blast from the past, indeed 🤗 I was about to type this to you saying my parents let me stay up late to watch that on a Sunday evening…..and you said the words !! I thought it was so grown up being allowed to watch tv at that time of the evening. 🥳😂 It was quite eery when you said the words that I was typing ….and that often happens …but I guess we are a similar age, so no doubt we will have memories of the same era .

Coxcomb or comb is the name for those top parts of the head …and the Wattle is the name for fleshy bits that hang underneath the chin. 🤗🤗 I always see to have a block with that word too….so just it looked it up . Love these, Diane ! Thank you 🤩🤩💕💕

What white pen are you using? I have scores of white pens, none of which I like. I also have sheep and chickens. After an exhausting lambing season I'm lounging around with a chai watching this. You've inspired me to start painting them a little differently. I'm excited to see where this goes.

@DianeAntoneStudio

Hi there, thanks so much for your comment! Lovely to hear from you as a fellow sheep parent! Nothing more exciting than having lambs - we really enjoyed our (exhausting) lambing seasons but we don’t have a ram any more so no more of that going on for now! I haven’t found a satisfactory white pen. They all give up after a while. The Posca I used today isn’t bad, but the line is a little too thick for what I need. It’s a Uni Posca PC 1-MR .7mm - I also use Uniball and Pentel - I think they are all roughly the same. They don’t work well for long on cold pressed paper, they don’t like going over paint unless it’s absolutely dry, and their nibs dry out. You have to have a constant supply of them, they just don’t last. I threw out two today in despair! It’s an alternative to use white gouache and a fine brush, but more fiddly. Have fun though, that’s the main thing!

Happy New Year Diane,it's been quite a sad time for me, my best art buddy has gone to live in Australia,they are about to stop you bringing your elderly parents over to Oz now so as she is 80 going on 25 she has gone kicking and screaming before she had to pay, she didn't want to go but her worried daughter insisted , she's not my friend now as she spends her time sending me pictures of her in the pool,sea,restaurants ,pool pool you get the picture,my other art buddy has gone to live in Spain and sends similar photos , my Indian FB friend who was hilariously funny,made me laugh all through my cancer journey ,I thought the world of him,has suddenly died ? It was such a shock, it just reminded me life is precious don't waste it,if you want to do something ,learn something ,do it ,love and laugh ,sorry to be a dolly downer. I met the tiller girls, my uncle in London was famous for his parties and they always came,straight from the London Paldium, they were huge ,their legs went on forever and lovely beautiful ladies , they loved my Bham accent so spent half the time talking to me, I just got a crick in my neck looking up. Your bird reminded me of a boy I went out with years ago,now thats another story 😍 ☺

I’m so sorry to hear that you lost a good friend suddenly - that’s an awful shock and please don’t think you are a dolly downer, friends are there to take the downs along with the ups and they are only too rare. Some people only ever want to have a laugh never mind what’s going on in others’ lives. That’s a lot of loss for you to deal with and you are right to feel it. I know you are strong and you’ll pick yourself up but it’s ok to be sad for a while. I remember when my mother suddenly died when I was 17 and I cried a lot and people started to tell me to get over it and I found that very insensitive - how could I get over it ? I’m looking forward to you sharing your lovely stories in the new year, I always enjoy them, your sense of humour is great! Wishing you a better 2024 with good health and good friends, love Diane xxxxx
