There is no one besides you who can slap-dash loosely paint flowers so appealingly and freshly pretty. I like the colors and transparency the Aquarelle paints give. Just so feminine and gorgeous. It all got prettier the more you layered colors; it made such depth!
I love the way this painting came to life! I'm always impressed at how you can paint so freely. I love the pink flowers and your background is so pretty!
I am considerably older than you and can remember the days when the English hedgerows were softly ablaze with the pinks and whites of the wild roses. Where housing estates now slowly moulder were field after field with hedges (which I leapt over on my imaginary horse from the service bus taking me to school) from which your painting could have been painted from life (much prefer that phrase to the jargon of plain air). I loved watching it evolve, and if I had a criticism, you addressed it the next minute. thank you for the pleasure you give with your instruction.
Hi Maureen and thanks so much for your lovely comment! I also remember those days of wild flowers and walking to primary school, plucking this and that from the hedgerows and playing with the seed heads - we used to use grass seed heads as darts and loved to put sticky balls on people’s clothes to annoy them - I couldn’t live in England now that everything has been built over. Later at grammar school I had my favourite fields I used to watch through the seasons on the way home on the bus, now it’s just a shopping centre. Sad for Kent.
Thank you Diane! Pretty pink Wild Roses and I love the greens and leaves. I was glad to watch you use gouache with the watercolor paints and enhance everything with the pen. I learn something every time I watch you paint. 😊
When you added the dark blue green paint in between the flower petals, the flower just popped out on the paper. Love it!! Love the whole loose painting idea. Mine just always looks like hen scratch!!
I live in Ontario, Canada. I took some Herbal medicine courses through distance education back in the late 90’s from Wild Rose college. I also didn’t finish...lol.
Hi Sandy, that’s so funny, it’s amazing how small the world seems to be when you go to RUclips! I wonder if that college still exists! I still have the book I bought from them all those years ago! (I think I found the physiology hard going - that’s why I gave up I think!)
@@DianeAntoneStudio it’s so interesting that a British girl lived for awhile in Alberta! Quite a different climate than the UK or France where you live now.
I love how this turned out! It looks like a fabric pattern my grandma use to have on one of her dresses. She made all her clothes and was a great seamstress. Can’t wait till I can try it!
My 309 th.🎉what a treat! Starting with just a hint of an idea and then go for it and break trough an too busy state with adding more and more. I mentioned it in an earlier comment, but have to repeat it: watching the development of the painting is much more pleasing then reading a good book or watching a quality movie. Thanks 😊. I liked the process and the outcome. Chappeau 😊wim
I got worried when the gouache came out! So fun to see the painting build and build. Mesmerizing! Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Once again, this would make a beautiful fabric print… thank you dear friend. 🥰
Grew up with pink wild roses all through the hols around our little town, Roundup, Montana. I love how uncomplicated the ir structure is. Watching you paint them so freely (like doing your taxes) is the way they should be done in keeping with their spirit. Thanks for the memory and inspiration. ❤
Oh, I'm so glad you got the gouache out.❤ I picked some up when I got the watercolors but I haven't used them. Now i have a good project to give them a try. ❤😊
Beautiful! ❤ I don't have a computer or a copy machine. I have only my phone & my tablet. So I can't take advantage of your designs. However, I love your painting style & I can't wait to try this one! 😍
You can do it - if you have a tablet you could trace from the screen on to tracing paper and then transfer it to your watercolor paper. I haven’t done this but I was told it did work.
You are truly a master of backgrounds. The roses just blossom the more you add to the greens. I have decided to follow your example of the flowers of the world, but with a twist, I am painting the state flowers of the US. I have them all drawn (50) and have 16 painted. You are such an inspiration.
I finished the flowers of the fifty states and went on to do the US territories. I still have pages left in the watercolor sketchbook, so I will fill it with random flowers. Taking your example, I want to keep the sketchbooks to a theme.
Hello......Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent with us. I so enjoy how relaxing and interesting your videos are. Love to hear Gabriel in the background 😆
I really enjoy this series. May I suggest two flowers from South America? Ceibo (cockspur coral tree, national flower of Argentina) and Mutisia Decurrens (looks similar to an orange cosmos), widely found in Patagonian reguons of Chile and Argentina. I ammpainting along and love tonlearn about new flowers. Thanks Diane and Tamsin!
I love the painting. I lived in AB for over 15 years and know all about the wild rose! But I am wondering how you are going to clean all that gouache out of your lovely paint palette!
Hi and thanks for your concern but no problem! Gouache is just watercolor and comes off palettes just the same as ordinary watercolor and is easily reactivated just like ordinary watercolor. There is some confusion out there now because they have invented something they called “ACRYLIC GOUACHE” which is NOT water soluble - in fact it is just opaque acrylic paint, and that is emphatically NOT what I use. I use ordinary watercolor gouache. The type I recommended from Meeden is inexpensive and works fine, but the best is Winsor and Newton designers gouache which you’ll find here. amzn.to/4ai1sp0
...somehow this painting worked out; could be the gouache. Maybe a better brand in the end might be even more helpful adding dimension and texture. Great job!
Could you do a studio tour and link the sources for your materials. I like the segregated bin you use for your paints and the little ceramic dishes etc but have no idea where to get them. Love your work, teaching style and your gorgeous art!
There’s info about the materials beneath each video in the description but in case you can’t find it, you could go to my amazon shop and browse there - pretty much everything I use is in there - it’s here: amazon.com/shop/dianeantonestudio and I have everything divided into pages - the paints, paper, brushes and equipment I recommend, all with links to the products on Amazon. Hope this helps x Diane x
That is a great painting and will try. I have not tried gouache yet....enough struggle with watercolor but I don't know if I want to mess with trying to keep it wet and extra special cleaning the brushes. I've watched vids showing all what to do and seems like they work hard to reactivate etc. etc. And that's extra energy where I'm struggling with energy anyway with some health issues. I might get a single tube somewhere of a neutral color and give it a try. Thanks much for sharing, Diane .
Hi Kathy, you can do this painting without using gouache, that was my solution to having made various mistakes as I went along… covering up with opaque gouache to put things right. But I could have done without it. HOWEVER, gouache is not difficult to clean off brushes (completely not like acrylic, although you mustn’t buy “acrylic gouache” - that’s a different thing altogether). It is not hard to “activate” either, it’s just the same as ordinary watercolor and if you leave it out between using it you can soften it just by putting a bit of water on it and waiting a while. If you do decide to take the plunge buy a tube of Winsor and Newton Designers Gouache in WHITE - you can mix it with any of your regular watercolors to make them more pastel and more opaque, which is useful, and it’s also useful for highlighting areas which have got too dark. Here’s a link to it on amazon: amzn.to/4ai1sp0 You’ll find it useful for highlights but don’t need much of it out at a time.
I bought white acrylic gouache not knowing the difference and was so pleased the cost was much less than a tiny tube of gouache. Surprise, surprise, my white flower looked like shiny plastic! I was furious. So in the trash it goes.@@DianeAntoneStudio
What size nub is your POSCA Pen? I have only recently learned about them. Saw them yesterday in the Art department at the local craft store, and saw there are a number of nib sizes.

🎨Glad you talk through your thought processes! Helps us realize our myriad of thoughts and emotions while painting / creating are normal. Thank you❣️

Me too, I live in rural Alberta and we see them in the ditches. I am going to copy my friend and make a hedge.
@@siennaonthenet2127What a good idea! That should work really well! Hardy, in our harsh Alberta weather.
You are so welcome! Memories of Alberta!
I love this wild rose tutorial and the gorgeous little watercolour book by this Albertan artist. I’ve been to Banff and Canmore and they are gorgeous!
@@DianeAntoneStudio it’s so interesting that a British girl lived for awhile in Alberta! Quite a different climate than the UK or France where you live now.
Your painting is so beautiful. I love to see how all of the layers come together to create a beautiful picture!! Thanks, Diane, for the tutorial❤️
How beautiful! I am going to do this!
It is so beautiful, Diane! I love how you filled out the space between the flowers with greenery!
Thank you so much!

It amazes me how abit of line work at the end can really finish off the piece.
Wonderful job.
Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Yes. I just HAD to go out and buy one for myself.
Yes I live in Calgary and love Canmore. Donna still teaches there. Love this painting.
That’s great to know, love to hear she’s still teaching xxx
These are so pretty ❣️🌸
Fabulous! Glad you painted over the white on the leaves.
That’s really pretty Diane, the colours are lovely x
Thanks Jacqui, so glad you enjoyed it!
These look so good, I love your style ☺☺
Thanks so much! 😊
So so pretty!
Bonjour Diane , ca sent le printemps dans ton dessin . J aime beaucoup l accord de couleurs . J aime entendre ton coq chanter . Bises a bientot
Merci Francoise, et c’est merveilleux qu’enfin le printemps arrive! À bientôt !
I more layers, the better I liked it. And in the end, it's great!! Also love hearing the roaster!!❤
Yay! Thank you!
Thanks so much for the video. I tried it and had fun painting it.
Wonderful!
The wild roses are so pretty. I haven't seen any in years.
We luckily have some growing near our studio, well, they are ‘wild’ in appearance, can’t guarantee their true origin…
Wow these are lovely. The colors you chose were really nice. Thank you!!
Thanks so much 😊
I enjoyed seeing how you use both watercolor and gouache. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Love the colors in your painting
Thanks Linda!
Beautiful!

@@DianeAntoneStudioGood info to know.
Just beautiful! I love watching you do this kind of painting, I'm going to try it. You encourage this beginner so much!!
Me, too. I did not think I could paint. @Diane Antone made me realize that I could (sort of. lol)
Beautiful Diane💖 the paints that I love the smell of are AGallo which smell of Rosemary 🪴
Ah yes, and my daughter sniffed the VHAquarell ones and said they smell of Cinnamon!
@@DianeAntoneStudio I just checked 😅 and I agree the VHAquarelle do smell like Cinnamon❣️
I love your style, I wish I could paint loosely but I don’t find it easy to do. I always tend to have to add lots of details. X
You can do it! Try putting a time limit on your painting session and stop when the time runs out!
...somehow this painting worked out; could be the gouache. Maybe a better brand in the end might be even more helpful adding dimension and texture. Great job!
Absolutely lovely ❤
Beautiful 😍. I love the idea of using my neglected gouache for accents ❤
Thank you! 😊
Somehow I kept missing what kind of pen you were using towards the end.
It's really a lovely!!❤

@@DianeAntoneStudio I needed one right away (lol), so I got one at Michael’s.
Question about the paints made with honey. Would the painting done with these attract bugs? That is one thing that prevents me from using them.
I don’t think so. The amount of honey is small and there’s a natural scented oil preservative in the paints to keep bugs away.
