I look forward to every one of your videos and paintings. Why?

Agree to everything you wrote. My favs are arleebean mind of watercolour but Diane is my top top top fav. Talented, inspirational humorous with farmyard noises and general rambling which are always useful information!

You’re thoughts about transparency in watercolours versus Kuratake opaque paints are so apt; I had the misfortune (?) to spend several residential watercolour holidays having transparent paint dinned into me. The tutor actually removed any opaque colours from the attendees. It honestly caused me so many doubts about carrying on. Listening to you is a complete breath of fresh air. Thank you so much!

We’ve had the wettest and most depressing winter here in France that I can ever remember. Looking forward to the summer as never before!

Diane, you really have the kind of voice a podcast would die for! I love your stories!!

First, thank you for the tutorial, it was fun. And I enjoy your chatting and your humor. I live in Maine (east coast of USA) and thought I’d let you know that since the pandemic we have seen a very different product supply situation than we are used to. There were times when large grocery stores had no toilet paper, until a fellow starting up a new paper mill decided to manufacture toilet paper to help us out. It often felt like what I imagine life to be like in Russia - waiting in lines to buy toilet paper was just so weird. The pandemic has given us quite a reveal of greed and hoarding, theft of ppp stimulus money, and the fragility of our supply line. For a very long time most of us had no US source for face masks, so we made our own. Businesses such as appliance retailers, and car dealerships are beginning to get more product. I’ve been waiting almost three years to buy a new stove/oven unit. A friend had to wait about six months for a car. For about three years the greater area car dealership lots have been virtually empty. It is getting better, but it seems like we’ll never get back to “normal”. Now that product is becoming more available the prices make it unaffordable for many of us 98 percenters. I can’t speak for other parts of the US but I doubt it was very different. Amazon was slated to layoff about 10,000 workers recently, so its delivery might still be a bit compromised. And all those employees have to find new jobs. Also, thanks for mentioning the Japanese brushes. I’m going to look into them, possibly buy a few. I don’t mind waiting, in fact, having to wait can make the purchase more exciting.

I love your ramblings Diane. Watching your videos is like having a neighbor come over for tea. I think the paper makes all the difference. It will determine how much water you can use. If you use less water say for guoche, you can a paper with more pulp. Cotton paper holds much more water for watercolors. It doesn't dry as fast. I have out of desperation, washed out a 'bad' painting. I figured its 100% cotton, I should be able to rinse it out very carefully. It worked. I have also been looking into making my own cotton paper.

I am only 8 minutes into the video and I had to stop and comment. I feel I have so much in common , I am 68, hubs has birthday Tuesday, get surprised every time I look at my hands, love dogs and cats, would adopt everything if able, love the country and love watching your videos!

This is quite nice. I am inspired to it create one of my own. I was born and lived up North most of my life. When I retired, I moved to Florida. Every day I wake up to beautiful weather. It has been a number of years and don't miss the bitter cold weather at all. As it turned out, my move was in early fall, so my body had time to acclimate to the warmer weather by to time the summer came around. Although it does take 2 to 3 years to fully acclimate to the climate. The only thing I do miss is watching the leaves turn in the fall. Every fall I paint leaves.

Dear, dear, Diane, It’s okay to complain about the weather!! I’m a California girl (72 year old for a few more days!) transplanted into Colorado! This year is the weirdest in terms of weather here! Usually it snows and then, since we are at a high altitude near Denver, the snow simply evaporates and the skies are blue. BUT THIS SEASON, it’s been so cold that the snow came and is just staying and more cold and snow is coming! Yikes! The snow removal man has just given up and no one can find him!! And yes, I have heard the same thing about recycling here, and also about the mountains of clothing in Africa! At least our international news agree! I’m in love with the idea of living on a small ranch/farm especially if I had a daughter to help! My son, very sweet, wouldn’t know the front from the back of a goat!! Still I dream! Now mostly about moving back to a warmer climate! So if you want to paint anything that reminds us of sunshine and warmth, then, good on you!! You are such a sweetheart, no wonder your doctor strokes your hand! My doctor moved to New Zealand!! Help! Our loss is their gain as she was awesome!!

I soo enjoyed your comments and narrative today-- was so interesting and educational- hearing what was happening in your life. It fascinates me to learn vicariously about others' life experiences. Today your narrative was quite a bonus of getting to know you too. A rich life of experiences, and your perspective was so relaxed and casual. Enjoyed 'getting to know' one of my favorite role model artists! Today's tree exercise was another helpful instruction in creative spontaneity. Very helpful for the new and not-very confident water color artist. I've learned so much from your very easy going approach to painting, and your wealth of practical knowledge and experience. Thanks for sharing your talents, and your wonderful insightful philosophy. And your dry and sly sense of humor is often a highlight. " A brush without a point is pointless". Haha! 😉

I have learned so much from you! You have inspired me…I have even thought of moving to France 😍 The rooster crowing to be heard by everyone, and the pitter patter of your dogs feet as he scurries across the studio floor. You have my dream studio!! Don’t ever let anyone tell you you are doing it wrong because they will be wrong!!

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoy it!

I am your age. The older way of taking blood pressure is more correct. While in the hospital for hip replacement recently, one nurse checked on both type of machines. The wrist and newer ones was 10-20 points higher.

The weather in eastern Canada has been an absolute roller coaster this winter. Monday, we had a lovely snowstorm that wasn’t too heavy but left us with just the right amount of snow to play in. I had a beautiful afternoon of snowshoeing in the woods on Wednesday. It was gorgeous and sunny and just below freezing and there was loads of pretty snow on the trees. Yesterday, the temperature shot up to 9C and we had pouring rain for hours. We got 30-40mm of rain in about 6hrs. Last night the temperature dropped to-10C and now everything is frozen.

Sometimes you just can’t win, can you!

I love your hands! They show a life lived and they’re beautiful! They’re working hands that have lots of experience. Be proud of your hands and enjoy that doctor while you can😁

To the contrary Diane - I loved listening to your ramblings about your French doctor and other interesting things. But I always enjoys your chatting anyway. This is a lovely idea doing the trees. Thankyou! 🐨👍
