I honestly have never added a comment to any RUclips video in my life; but by grace I stumbled upon this lesson as I am just now dabbling in watercolor and I feel as if I've entered a world of joy, peace, contentment and beauty! God bless, you, Diane for sharing the beauty of your artistic giftedness in such an sublime fashion.
Dragonflies are my all time favorite crafting spirit and am just starting to dabble in watercolors, mostly the water pencils. Now I see the need to add actual paints. Somehow I got lucky and came across this wonderful inspirational video. Many thanks for your art.
I am 80 and only been painting a few years. I just LOVE HOW YOU PAINT, and that you share it with us all. Thank you, you have taken the need for perfection out of my remit, and made it so much more free and open, and relaxing.
I love this wonderful online class, and remember how I used to illustrate all my biology homework way back when. I had the most amazing teacher. She was Irish and I sometimes used to see her outside church with her easel painting flowers and trees in people's gardens. I loved her. She had long red hair, and I think became a well know artist in Ireland. I was about 12, and she was the best teacher I ever had. Watching you brought back lovely memories. And after covering my rent at the end of the month, I'm going to replicate this and get the materials you recommend. It's lovely, and I can't wait! :)
Hi Trisha, what a lovely memory. It’s amazing how our childhood teachers can stay with us all our lives, isn’t it. Your teacher sounds like a wonderful person. I also tried to incorporate art into my lessons at school, but it didn’t always go down well! If you are going to buy paints, can I recommend a set which I didn’t know about when I painted that dragonfly? The Kuretake paints from Japan are wonderful to paint with. I have the set of 48 colors but you can get 24 as well or 36 which is plenty. Here’s a link in case you can’t find them: amzn.to/3KfIxRO Hope this helps !! Happy painting!
I didn't know how to draw a dragonfly and now I do. The painting comes next. I love videos like this from start to finish. I'm just learning watercolors
❤oh my goodness, I found my favorite channel…. I became so relaxed watching this. Dragonfly….my favorite. Love this… thank you for sharing this with me!🎉!!!!!
In 1963 we moved to a small lake a couple miles outside of a lovely little rural town in Michigan. I was 10 years old and it was heaven! We had a row boat that allowed me to spend hours investigating all of the lake and shore. The area at one end was a quiet weedy area with frogs and dragon flys abundant. My friend and I would take small nets on long poles to catch and study. It was endless fun with something new to do each day. Winters we spent ice skating, fishing, snowmobiling. I wish I could have given those experiences to my children. It was a idyllic experience. Your painting sparked a lot of fun memories, thanks!
Hi Deb I had a childhood experience very similar to that! When I was eight in 1961 we moved into the countryside outside of London and we used to play in a local pond - not quite as exciting as a lake, but it was also full of wildlife. We used to have fun collecting frogspawn and falling in the water! Every child needs a childhood like that! So glad to bring back some memories for you! Happy painting!
I saw a dragonfly this morning. This tutorial came up and wow, glad I clicked on it. Beautiful. Enjoyed watching this dragonfly come to life and found the music relaxing to listen to. I will try. Thanks for your generous teaching. Love it.
What a lovely message Angelique, and I'm so glad you found the channel! Welcome, and have fun painting our huge range of tutorials. All the Watercolor Nature ones are here on this playlist ruclips.net/p/PLVksoedXAAmdDg-N837h6yCgUJWs08hB1 and there are also another 200 other ones!
I so enjoy just watching you draw and paint so effortlessly, it is so calming to watch and so inspirational. I want to try out each painting you post. Thank you for sharing your passion with us.
My 238 th. You changed your playlist. I couldn't find the 200 natural world videos any more, but after a little search I found a new part of the playlist which I will work trough . This one has a very good amount of vieuwers and I also liked it. 😊wim
This is a very calming and stress free technique. If followed, it forces looseness. We often get so uptight for fear of failure, but failure is the best lesson sometimes. All said and done, it's only a piece of paper and small amt of paint, but the lessons you learn give a valuable sense of return. Thx for sharing your talent.
I volunteer at an elementary school . I just started watercolor painting and I do a picture each week for a student. I just did a dragon fly and had a difficult time with the head. This was so helpful and I look forward to more. I think I'll paint the little girl another dragon fly with what I learned in this lesson. I find watercolor painting to be very relaxing. Thank you!
Hi Karen and thanks for your comment! I’m so glad the tutorials are helping you with your student! Dragonflies are lovely but can be challenging! I’m sure your painting will be lovely!
How lovely ! Dragonfly is my youngest daughter's spirit guide (we are native American Indian) and she's a professional artist. I'm always looking for a new way to create paintings etc of the Dragonfly for her birthday & holiday gifts. Thank you for a lovely rendition. Be well🦋
This was so much fun. I am just retired, cake decorating for 35 years, so I've drawn a lot and mixed a lot of colors. This is surprisingly similar and yet so different. Your instructions are very good. I'm parked in front of my computer and pause and start your video a lot.
That's great! I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I'm sure you've picked up on a lot of similarities between cake decorating and painting since you've been doing it for so long. It's always great to have a creative eye so that you can pause and start the videos and pick up on the subtleties of the process. Thanks for giving it a try!
So beautiful. I really enjoyed watching you paint. Thank you for sharing :) I love dragonflies. I have been practiicing with watercolor a few months now and I am so in love with watercolors. I will enjoy practicing this one. ❤
Dear Diane, I’ve been watching your paintings every day. I’m in the middle of making a quilt and make time to sketch a painting with you. I’m anxious to finish my quilt so I can paint my sketches. And maybe do a painting. Thank you so much for your inspiration in art. I watch you every day.
You asked if this video was helpful... Absolutely, yes! You have the wonderful ability of simplifying the "how tos". I so appreciate every one of your videos. Thank you. ❤
Please continue to share your gift with us! I am new to watercolor and have told many friends about you. What a peace filled way to begin each day. Your tips and techniques are helpful to all experience levels.
Thanks so much Kathy for your wonderful comments. I really appreciate you sharing me with your friends and I want to say that it is so helpful to us that you share the word. So glad you are finding the videos helpful and I’m hoping to continue for a good long while yet! Happy painting!
I first painted your birds on a branch and had good success. I then attempted your poppies, only to realize I enjoyed watching you paint them more than painting those myself. When I decided it was much more relaxing to just sit and watch on that one, I made myself some peppermint tea and was swept up into your voice, the music and all the beautiful color. Thank you for providing not only instruction while I join you, but also for providing a wonderful and peaceful escape from the busyness of life.
Diane I cannot thank you enough for opening up the world of watercolor for me. I've wanted to play in this medium for such a long time, and the way you teach, the pace, your instruction, everything about you makes this possible and FUN. Art should be fun, and I have recommended you to my friend who is also learning to paint for the first time. Thank you and your daughter for putting these enchanting videos together. Real time. Gentle. Enjoyable. I wish I could post a picture of the dragonflies you've helped me created. You are a gift to the art world.
Hi Meghan, thanks so much for your lovely comment. It's very helpful to me to hear what I'm doing right on the channel, and encourages me to continue! I'm so glad you are finding the videos helpful. Thanks also for your support in spreading the word, it means a very great deal to us. Happy painting and best wishes xxx
Hi be, thanks so much for your lovely comment! So glad you enjoyed the video and I hope your dragonfly turned out beautiful! Best wishes for the upcoming season!
