Thanks Debbie!!

A charming collection of whimsical blooms. I've enjoyed Zentangle and Ill try this.

Those are some very pretty circles; looks like lots of fun. Love the pop of yellow & the flowers sticking out of the circles. The whole thing looks so pretty like a postcard.

Thanks so much Cindi, we are thrilled that people are finding the channel helpful and entertaining, and thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts. Happy painting!

I actually followed along and worked on a digital version of this in procreate several days ago. I was feeling out of sorts and too tired to get out of bed and sit in a chair to paint etc, but remembered I could still paint in bed in procreate... the only thing that takes some effort to replicate is metallics, but I enjoyed listening to you talk while creating my digital version.

I love this one.... its easy and mindless but so pretty.

Loved this. Like watercolour zentangle type thing. Loved this. Thank you. 🌸

Here I am again, to say that the quiet charm of this exercise makes me smile. A pleasant, calm smile. Your energy always comes through your work. Thank you my friendXOXO❤️❤️❤️

I really enjoyed using the Kuretake Graphite watercolors to paint this tutorial. I would so appreciate it if you would add more tutorials using them. You are such a talented and fun teacher. You have helped me gain more confidence in watercolor painting. Thank you, Diane!🥰🤗

Yes, that's a great idea!

According to jet pens.com, ". Once dry, the surface of the paint can be polished to reveal a metallic luster. The more concentrated the paint is, the stronger the luster will be". Can't wait for these to be available in Canada. I may just have to order from Japan!

I did give my test pieces a bit of a buff up but the shine is subtle, maybe I needed to use more paint or more elbow grease!

This was a great exercise in balancing designs and colors. I tried a suggestion from the comments to mix Paynes Gray with colors for a look similar to the one you got with your new colors. That suggestion worked well for me. Thanks!

Excellent idea!

Everything is made up of spirals, it’s quite astoundingreally

Oooooo, I love these colors! So, that palette will be on my shopping list! 😄 I enjoyed this video so much - watching how the colors change with more or less water or where they’re blended, noticing how you balanced out the different sizes of circles and the colors across the page, the many ideas for embellishing. I think I’ll try this using a limited palette from my current paints and then again when my new palette of Kuretake Graphite arrives. I seem to really like working with muted colors. Lately I’ve been adding color to puddles of Payne’s Gray or some other gray just see how it changes the brighter colors into something more to my liking. Thank you for all that you share here. I stopped taking art classes after 8th grade because I didn’t think I was any good at it and I chose to focus more on music classes. I wish I had continued with art. I’m realizing how very little I know about any of it - color mixing, composition, perspective, etc.. I’ve really been enjoying learning from you!

Hi Karma and lovely to hear from you! So glad you enjoyed the video about the Kuretake colors. They definitely merit a lot of exploration! I recently realised that adding BLACK of all things to many colors will give an amazing range of shades which are brilliant in so many ways! I never used black because watercolor teachers tend to say NO black and NO white, but I think that was bad advice for me! So glad you are getting back into art in a big way. Welcome to the channel and hope to hear from you again soon!

Do it. Those paints I treated myself to last year. I use them as my Sunday paints. I feel so fancy when I get them out to paint with.

The key thing here is to test your color intensity on a scrap of paper first before putting brush to paper. They are VERY strong colors!

@tracylamarca575

Жыл бұрын

@@DianeAntoneStudio Yes, I always keep scraps of paper handy when doing all your tutorials! Even though I have all my paints swatched in a very organized fashion, I test a LOT because I am still becoming used to how much water to add or have on my brush to achieve a given intensity of color! I think it is one of the hardest things for me..........practice, practice, practice!! By the way, I got my set of Graphites from St. Louis Art Supply and I came across - and added to my order - 2 other sets. They are also Japanese and the same size pans as the Kuretake - Shadow Colors and Shadow Blacks........beautiful, dark, intense and very reasonably priced! (They are actually a mixture of sumi ink and dyes, but they "act" like watercolors!)

Your video and teachings encouraged me to get out some cheap matelic paint that I didn't know what to do with. It was so enjoyable to make circles. Soon I realized I'm not fond of doodleing. So I drew simple motifs in the circles, and turned them into a page of floating balloons. Thank you Diane. Your the best.

I love this pallet! It's not yet available here in Ontario, Canada, but I will purchase the Starry Night and maybe the Gem pallet. The Graphite colour pallet is my style. I don't usually go for the Gem colours, but as you said, sometimes a new pallet gives inspiration! Love your work! You give water colouring kind of a doodling aspect and I love that because I don't think of water colouring as a quick fun project myself usually if im going to water colour I'm sitting down for a good amount of time, just due to the prep.

If you mix the gem colors with a little grey or black you'll come close to the graphite colors. Won't be as granulating, but will be interesting!

First, I'm not an artist. My thing is rubber stamping. However, I do have the 48 set of Kuratake water colors. They are so creamy! They are a joy to use and produce nice bright colors. And they do need to be wettened first . I think you would like them. I do wish Kuratake would make metal pallet boxes to store them in. My first time here and I'm curious to watch you use the gold colors. I have those too and really like the golds.
