Painting pumpkins has never been so easy! Using a selection of Viviva colorsheets in brilliant fall colors, plus a Kuretake waterbrush, you will be thrilled with your results! Keep the colors bright, the shapes simple, and the contrast strong! Let’s get going! And watch to the end to see how much Arthur the Kitten has grown this week!

I was using the colours pure from the Viviva palette.

I love hearing your animals in the background. It makes me feel right at home while watching your videos. ❤

How FUN! They look so cute & yes, I definitely love the purple contrast; really looks nice.

My 146 th. In artclass I painted a pumpkin from my garden. It took me about three sessions - two hours each. The teacher criticized it by telling that the composition, the colors etc where good but that it looked like a oil picture. So it will be a challenge to paint it next autumn in your style. I just follow the playlist . Pumpkins from my garden - about 30 this year , most bottle pumpkins now are regularly on the menu. 😊wim

Hi Wim, thanks for your message and I hope you aren’t still blushing from yesterday!! What is wrong with a painting that looks like an oil? Interesting!!

Being Canadian - Pumpkins & Maple Leaves are a staple - and this tutorial was perfect timing. And beautiful also. I so enjoy seeing what you create everyday and wonder how you do it....come up with a new idea every day. You are a fabulous artist - please continue to do the great work you do for your Art Community. Thank you.

You are so welcome! I really do enjoy it, I love the process and the challenge is good for me too!

When we first immigrated to Canada, we bought one of those huge pumpkins for dinner and, as you say, discovered it's better for decoration or pumpkin mazes! Love the colours here, Dianne, and getting into the mood for Halloween, painting along with you.

I need to get the bright orange out and ready for the fall, don’t I? The viviva colors are ideal for that! Oh Canada, the land of the pumpkin and maple syrup! LOL

Time to learn to paint pumpkins! Loving this loose style

I love that you named your kitten Arthur. What a perfect name for a kit! Thanks for another great tutorial!

Hi I have grown pumpkins this year and find it beautiful to see the way you brought it to life with water colours. I have never tried water colours but you make it so interesting and workable. Thank you for your instructions . Very clear and easy to follow🌟

Beautiful! In the US, they started to announce the pumpkin patches! Is that time of the year! A big warm hug and kiss for Arthur!

I live in Vermont. Our state tree is the Sugar Maple which grows wild all over the mountains and the lowlands. In Spring when the days are warming but the nights are cold, the sap is boiled in sugar houses all over the state, where the maple syrup is then bottled. We also grow lots of pumpkins in Vermont! They can be found in roadside stands, farms, and supermarkets.

Yes, I don’t know if you are aware that in America we have two types of pumpkins. One is indeed inedible and used for decorating, while the other is called cooking pumpkins and surprise, is used for cooking! They are very different. You have painted such a lovely picture!! Thank you!💕

🤩 merci beaucoup Diane, très jolie aquarelle

I love pumpkins and their many benefits. The transprant orange really set your pumpkins off. You did great on their sizing as well. This will definitely be a fun painting. Now for the benefits of good old pumpkins. Pureed it is great to help your dogs upset tummy. My Cattle Dog Cassie, approved! We keep a pumpkin pie during the colder months as their warming spices are great for Arthritis and general aches from Fibromyalgia. If pie isn't your thing then there is pumpkin bread, cookies and even soup. I have never had soup but am told it is really good. The newer thing is in different type of coffee. Not for me, but others love it. Thank you Diane for sharing important parts of our American culture.

Hi Ann! We have a freezer full of frozen pumpkin from last year's bumper harvest but this year won't be as good due to the very bad spring weather. I make soup with it all winter, often combined with courgettes and carrots - delicious! I used to make pumpkin pie when I lived in Canada! And yes, I've given it to the dogs if needed to settle their stomachs! In honour of the pumpkin, the very first product in our KZread Shop is going to be a Limited Edition Pumpkin Mug - coming hopefully later today once YT have approved it!

Beautiful as always! ❤️

What a beautiful picture! The colours are generous and harmonise perfectly. So warm and friendly...The picture evokes an autumnal mood and foreshadows the abundance that nature always gives us. Thank you, Mrs da Vinci, though.... Antone is better, because, I think, da Vinci didn't really finish many paintings in his life, let alone with colours like this😬😁.

That’s hilarious Rosie! I never thought they would come back into fashion like that again. We used to have a white leatherette one. It was in the lounge as my mother liked to call it, otherwise known as the front room! The room we weren’t supposed to be in! And I seem to remember there was a black one in the other room! And we called them poofies - I wonder how John Lewis pronounce it!

I'm from Wales and we had a 'poffee' too don't know how it's spelt lol my mum too always said "get your feet off the poof" loved this I am pumpkin and mushroom mad also acorns, fircones love drawing and painting theem

Helloooo Arthur!

Gorgeous! I love your composition. I tried something similar a couple weeks ago, and it went straight into the recycling bin.😂 I’ll have to give it another try. PS It may just be romanticized in my head, but I’m exceedingly jealous of you, living in France. Is it as beautiful and expensive as everyone says it is?

@DianeAntoneStudio

2 жыл бұрын

Well, having lived in many different countries I would say that France is the best of the bunch, but that these days it leaves a lot to be desired! It's very peaceful where I am, in the middle of Brittany, and very old-fashioned. Not expensive here, but many parts of France are pricey. Everything is different now after Covid hit, and we are really quite cut off from people. So nothing really to be envious of!! Where do you live??

I recently painted this. I enjoyed your video and your explanation of things. I used what colours I had and did what I could. I think it turned out not too bad. Is there somewhere where we can show you our versions of your tutorials? I posted mine on my IG page and gave you credit on my description. If ever I do a tutorial I always Mention the name of the artist. Thank you so much for your videos. They are very helpful, you are good at demonstrating and teaching.
