I really enjoyed the fall version of these flowers. I was happily surprised! I love color so much that I never noticed how fascinating and unique their shapes are once they shed their blooms and their more vibrant colors. I sigh unhappily when my color is gone. Now I find myself eager to search out what some of my favorite flowers become in the fall. I'm hoping to find more color in the range like the sepia.(How to mute red- rust so it isn't mud?). The sepia is really rich yet subdued in your art. I like the way it's softer, muted. Fall colors can burst out, they are just that incredible. Yet the less defined, quieter side is there as well. Seeing that side in a positive light is a revelation. I want to see more than just 'brown' this dreary Seattle winter. Thank you for helping me, oddly, look forward to my flower's colors as they sleep. As to color, my mind is blank. There has to be more than holly berries and poinsettias! 😂 And cardinals. I'm rolling my eyes at myself.
Hi Cheryl and thanks so much for your wonderfully poetic comments! After reading it I was prompted to go outside and pick a few of the heads of Hydrangea which are fading to their autumn splendour right now - vintage shades of blue and pink which are just as pretty as their summer dresses! Do you have them in Seattle? I’ve heard that you have very wet winters, like Vancouver, so I’m sure you can get quite “down” as the soggy months go by. We have an enormous amount of rain here in the winter too, but not every year. Some years it rains every day. Ugh. But again, thanks so much for your lovely words. Much appreciated.
really loved this video......and that glass pen is fabulous. The weeds along the water ditches are just beginning to head up and it's the perfect time to paint them. You are right about the 'now or never' coming with a certain age....I'm feeling it myself.....thanks as ever Diane for sharing your life and talent.
Thanks so much Jennifer, I'm so glad you like the look of the glass pen. It's so funny that I actually had it on hand, I'd forgotten totally about buying it for Tamsin years ago until someone asked in the comments had I ever used a glass pen! Then I remembered it! Maybe I'll use it again today, I'm in danger of becoming addicted to it and the waterbrush!!!
Diane, you have out done yourself today. I have seen these pens but had no idea you could do so much with one. I just ordered the set and can't wait for it to come in. I am looking forward to the trees, leaves etc. I have to thank you for inspiring me. I spent a couple of hours sketching different sizes and types of rocks. I am sketching at least 15 minutes a day and it really helps. Thank you again for another great lesson!
Wonderful! That's so good to hear. That pen is a little miracle. I hope they are all as good. I can't remember where I bought that one from... it was a gift to Tamsin about 10 years ago when she was interested in calligraphy briefly...
Diane, I love this video. I haven't had much time to myself lately, so haven't been able to paint. Watching this makes me realize just how much I need to make my painting time a priority. Thank you for this lovely autumn tutorial.
I am fascinated by seed heads, especially ones like wild carrot (Queen Anne’s lace), hogweed, cow parsley and, like you, alliums. This session is a complete eye opener for me! Thank you so much 😊
WOW! What an great idea with the Qtips. It’s very well done. You mentioned Inktober in this video or maybe another one, and I can hardly wait to see what you come up with. I know it will be awesome. Art is exciting when watching your paintings. Thanks so much.
Oh, thanks so much Karen, I so appreciate your input. Yes, I think that even though there is a bit of controversy surrounding the InkTober Idea I'd still like to challenge myself to do one drawing a day for a month. It can't hurt, can it!
Hi Diane! This is so much fun!! 👏👏 Is there no end to your talents? OF COURSE I will need to purchase the glass pen now.....😋 I do have a nice set of alcohol inks. Same technique? I'm really looking forward to some autumnal content. But just before the switch please do share the hibiscus 🌺 tutorial. Never EVER are there too many flowers. 😁
Thank you for your time, I have two lots of ink, fountain pen and cartridge, I had looked at the glass pens now I think I will buy one, I love the sepia coloured ink.
Please do not laugh, but I thought… you meant you were literally going to paint dried seeds and use the in a picture! … I used to do that as a little girl, with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and even bigger beans like dried Limas or kidney beans, then I would draw stems and leaf outlines or animals or houses etc. and then glue them on like those little tiles!🤣😂… Gee for a second, I thought I must have been way ahead of my 3rd grade years!( me and Elmers glue and poster paint!🥴)… These are much more beautiful, for sure👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍! … also used to used seeds for jewelry to give my mom!… My poor mom actually suffered thru wearing it( at least around the house? but,… can you just imagine …wearing a Lima bean “brooch”, beans painted bright red and glued on a piece of cardboard, with a bean or two falling off every now and then!🤣😂)… Gotta love those awesome mammas!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So funny Kathy! You must have been some kid! Lovely story, really enjoyed reading that and sharing it with my family!! You never know, we might do something with real beans one day!!!
I love watching your videos and have learned a great deal from you! Now I am encouraged to buy a glass pen. Thank you for sharing your talent and love for animals and the beauty that God surrounds us with.
Marvelous tutorial of these seed heads and seed pods using the techniques you did. They are so cool and interesting to look at. Thank you! I will be trying these later today and ease into Autumn (which I love)
That's so kind Virginia, thank you so much for your compliment! So glad to have you on board the channel and I hope that you continue to enjoy what I do for a long time! Thanks again x
Diane,Ilove your tutorials and the way you teach us. I am looking forward to go back home so that I can have my material and start practicing. I look forward to watching your videos every day. Greetings from Córdoba, Argentina.
Love your sessions Dianne I have only just begun watercolour and have those cute water brushes so you’re inspirin me to use them! Yes I’m Australia it is Hibiscus time coming on please share with us your approach to them. Also I’ve had my own go at a dragon fly since watching you. Thanks again from Nimbin Australia.
Hi Liz and thank you so much for your lovely comments! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos and that you are keen to try out the waterbrush - what a little stroke of plastic magic that is!!! Who would have believed it. I hope you enjoyed the first hibiscus I did yesterday. I will be doing more, - probably some looser ones which I'm working on at the moment too. Don't forget to make any suggestions you have about subjects which are of interest to you down under - it's easy for me to forget that the seasons are far from the same all the way round the world! Happy painting!
@@DianeAntoneStudio anything nature is my world at present. I’m on 1 acre living in a caravan. We have Wyandotte hens (I think you may have also?) a fine rooster ( I watched your cockerel tutorial last night and shall have a go at one. We are super excited to now have 1 chick hatched so seems spring has sprung. Having just commenced plantings on a blank canvas I’m excited at every bud with some gorgeous apple blossoms, little strawberries, yellow cherry tomatoes amd coral and red geraniums amd yellow gazania. Succulents as a new hobby and a huge veggie patch coming on. This area is paradise at the edge of a rainforest mountain base just at the start of a valley so we have the highest diversity echo systems. A few nice frosty mornings amid a mild winter and summer sees High rainfall and humidity. Lots of gorgeous little wallabies, black cockatoos and many other birds. Carpet python as a resident and brown the deadly snakes with a few little black snakes that make life interesting! All that said I want to practice my sketching and I loved the way you encouraged the charcoal and also watched the hibiscus yesterday, very nice ! I look forward to the loose style. I tried the seed heads and grasses and found it very easily accomplished with your tutorial although didn’t have ink. I used pigment as I just loved the techniques. I will get one of the glass pens as it appears an asset for many little effects. Thanks again and I love your little farm reminds me of here xx
I'm wishing I had some ink now. All I have is black. We have no car so I'll have to order it and have to wait to make the allum heads. I loved the video tho. I just love watching you paint. So soothing! Thank you Diane.
Hi Jean, you could try this technique using paint. You could mix a bit of dark brown paint with some black ink and that would make brown ink… You could do it with strong instant coffee, which makes a very good sepia ink substitute… you could do it with black ink …. Would love to see what you create!
Very interesting and nice results. Looking forward to future autumn subjects and color. I love the looks of those three trees you painted and hope there is a video showing your technique. Thank you Diane!
Thank you so much ! Trees are one of my favourite challenges, and we will be doing more of them as we go into the autumn and winter! I think charcoal is a particularly good medium for learning how to draw them, and when you can draw them you can paint them!
Another great tutorial! Another medium to look into... BUT best of all I expect to wake to 10K subscribers tomorrow morning! Whoo-hoo! I think you need to plan a celebration this weekend. Here in CA we have a hibiscus just getting ready to bloom, it's red.I will be able to have fresh ones to refer to! So please do! We won't see fall for a few weeks yet, my favorite time of year... Blessings to you! Denise (And may I send congratulations just a little ahead of time?)
You were right Denise about the numbers and I took your advice and did the hibiscus!!! Thanks so much for your positive input and support - it means the world to us!
Great tutorial! I received one of these glass pens for Christmas and haven't spent much time with it yet. I'm now excited to break it out and play. Thanks, Diane!
Thank-you so much, this was a lovely video. Your gentle instruction encourages me to have a go , thanks again. Looking forward to catching up on your other videos . Maria xx
Very pretty. I love watching and trying all of your tutorials. I have enjoyed using my dip pens and ink with my watercoloring. They have been laying around not getting any use but now I’m using them quite often. Thank you so much for sharing your art and methods.
Very nice video! I love the ink work. I don't have any inks or a fountain pen. But I may have a look into getting them. Also, i loved what you did with them, the trees also. And that hibiscus was beautiful.
I love to use my dip pen any opportunity I get! I will have to make do with black for now. Wonderful exercise for the scrapbook. I'd love to see you paint the hibiscus. Im looking forward to the autumnal season. Its beautiful here in southwestern Ontario, Canada.
Absolutely lovely, as always Diane. I've got so many painting/drawing projects I want to catch up with but have a lot going on right now so can't get round to it sadly. But just watching your videos is relaxing and enjoyable so for the moment that suffices as my creative outlet. Thank you.
This was different and fun! And look at your inky hands! LOL Ink is a lot messier than watercolor. Have you tried using alcohol inks? I have some videos on my channel using them. I switched to watercolor for the summer because alcohol inks don't play well in humid weather. I'm new to watercolor (just about a month or so) and I really enjoy your videos. This video felt like I was just sitting at the table with you and playing with ink, looking at your sketches. Reminds me of girls night with my best friend. She comes over and we always do some kind of painting and I show her what I've done. I'm going to get a glass pen now. I just last week got a calligraphy pen and some ink and want to learn calligraphy too. So many hobbies and so little time! At least when I retire, I won't be bored. :)
Wonderful Renee, thanks for your lovely comment! Yes, I feel like I have you beside me when I'm making the video, and it is very comforting to know so many ladies are enjoying watching and learning and following along x Yes, I got in a right mess, mostly from opening the bottles! Have a look at the links below in the description to Amazon glass pens. There are quite a few to choose from on Amazon, and if you go there via one of my links it helps us! Thanks so much, and do have funnnn!
Hi Diane! I’ve been watching your videos and loving the ease and calmness with watercolor painting. I especially love what you paint…I live in the country and fascinated with our animals, plants, bugs, etc! I’ve been using the only watercolors I have….grandkids crayola 🙂 They work, but would like your advice on a set of Winston and Newton, 24 half pans for $33.00. Thank you
Hi Lou, thanks so much for your lovely comments! I’m so glad that you are enjoying the videos. As far as materials go, you can’t go wrong with Winsor and Newton. A set of 24 for $33 sounds like a good price. as long as you are sure they are the genuine article that would be a very good buy.
@@DianeAntoneStudio , I just realized the paints I’m looking at say Cotman. In watching a video about the difference, one is a student grade and not as high quality.
I think it’s only once it’s dried that it becomes water resistant. As long as you wash it as soon as you have finished painting it will come out fine. Glad you enjoyed the video xx
just lovely! i have bought a few calligraphy dip pens but can't get any of them to work. the glass pen looks perfect, is it simple to use as a dip pen? thank you x
Hi there, we’ve been told that even if you’re in the UK and you click on our link to Amazon US, it will route you back to the UK. I would be really grateful if you could test that for us!! Glass Pen Set amzn.to/3sMJaYq Glass Pen amzn.to/3mOLJIL
Hi Francine, thanks for watching the video and for your question. When I use watercolor pencils I either use Faber Castell Albrecht Durer colored pencils - here's a link amzn.to/3aa0fTF or if I want black only I use the Staedtler Karat Aquarell pencil, link - amzn.to/2Ym4Q33 Hope this helps x

LOVE your style of painting and you are a very good teacher because even I can do it......I think.
Loved these seed heads, grasses, and seeing the bits in your sketchbook--you have such natural talent! Thank you for sharing.

J’adore suivre vos tutoriels où vous présentez plusieurs techniques, vous variez les thèmes, j’ai l.impression de progresser avec vous, merci Diane.
Merci a toi aussi Nathalie pour tes gentils mots, et j'apprecie que tu partages tes sentiments avec moi. Bonne continuation!
Loved seeing the ink
Great! Loving the Burnt sienna ink and the glass nib on your pen!
Thanks Deanna! It is surprisingly effective, who would have guessed? Not me!!!
Your hibiscus is fantastic. I love your art. Thank you so much for showing all this beautiful technics.❤
I just bought a glass pen this week, and am amazed at how much ink it holds! And then I found this video... thank you!

Thanks for all these previous AUTUMN 🍂 videos… Great idea….
You are so welcome!
The picture is so cool, I'm going to subscribe.
Thank you so much for subscribing, welcome to the channel!
This is another wonderful video! I look forward to checking your channel every day!
Thank you so much Marie, so sorry I missed your comment last month xx
Very clever 👍👍 I'm trying this tomorrow, suppose to have freezing 🥶 rain.
Have fun! We have it too - snow and sleet and hail today! Just waiting for the wind and thunder to arrive!
Thank you for your time, I have two lots of ink, fountain pen and cartridge, I had looked at the glass pens now I think I will buy one, I love the sepia coloured ink.
Wonderful! I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
Great idea
Love your work!!!!
Love this, I must give it a try!
Please do!
Please do not laugh, but I thought… you meant you were literally going to paint dried seeds and use the in a picture!
… I used to do that as a little girl, with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and even bigger beans like dried Limas or kidney beans, then I would draw stems and leaf outlines or animals or houses etc. and then glue them on like those little tiles!🤣😂…
Gee for a second, I thought I must have been way ahead of my 3rd grade years!( me and Elmers glue and
poster paint!🥴)… These are much more beautiful, for
sure👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!
… also used to used seeds for jewelry to give my mom!… My poor mom actually suffered thru wearing it( at least around the house? but,… can you just imagine …wearing a Lima bean “brooch”, beans painted bright red and glued on a piece of cardboard, with a bean or two falling off every now and then!🤣😂)… Gotta love those awesome mammas!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So funny Kathy! You must have been some kid! Lovely story, really enjoyed reading that and sharing it with my family!! You never know, we might do something with real beans one day!!!
Kathy, you are so funny. I remember making pasta necklaces.
This was so helpful! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for demonstrating the glass pen , it looks a great way to add ink / watercolour . I think I may just order one to try . 💚
It’s a great little tool, and the more I use it, the more I like it!
I love to use my dip pen any opportunity I get! I will have to make do with black for now. Wonderful exercise for the scrapbook.
I'd love to see you paint the hibiscus.
Im looking forward to the autumnal season. Its beautiful here in southwestern Ontario, Canada.
Have you tried the dip pen with diluted paint? I think it would work reasonably well when you want lines in colour, worth a try!

Yes, I feel like I have you beside me when I'm making the video, and it is very comforting to know so many ladies are enjoying watching and learning and following along x Yes, I got in a right mess, mostly from opening the bottles! Have a look at the links below in the description to Amazon glass pens. There are quite a few to choose from on Amazon, and if you go there via one of my links it helps us! Thanks so much, and do have funnnn!
@@DianeAntoneStudio Yep, I went through your links. I have a couple of items in my cart from your links
Hi Diane, Absolutely love this tutorial. You so inspire me which is so needed. How about do a mushroom patch with this technique. Have a great day.
Great idea! I was just pondering what to paint this afternoon for the next video! I'll give that a go!
Btw dear Diane what is your favorite watercolor book and why ? Thank you!
Hibiscus blooms in the Caribbean all year so I think the tutorial could be done anytime, no?
Thanks - I suppose that’s true!
Another “toy” to try? Hmmmm. Really nice composition.
Can't have too many toys!
Hi Diane! I’ve been watching your videos and loving the ease and calmness with watercolor painting. I especially love what you paint…I live in the country and fascinated with our animals, plants, bugs, etc!
I’ve been using the only watercolors I have….grandkids crayola 🙂
They work, but would like your advice on a set of Winston and Newton, 24 half pans for $33.00.
Thank you
Hi Lou, thanks so much for your lovely comments! I’m so glad that you are enjoying the videos. As far as materials go, you can’t go wrong with Winsor and Newton. A set of 24 for $33 sounds like a good price. as long as you are sure they are the genuine article that would be a very good buy.
@@DianeAntoneStudio , I just realized the paints I’m looking at say Cotman. In watching a video about the difference, one is a student grade and not as high quality.
Hi Diane, loved this video, am now wondering how you clean the ink out of your brush? The Amazon link for the ink says it is water resistant...
I think it’s only once it’s dried that it becomes water resistant. As long as you wash it as soon as you have finished painting it will come out fine. Glad you enjoyed the video xx
Curious - does the ink you're using stain the brush? Is the ink water-soluble or does it require something stronger to clean the brush?
just lovely! i have bought a few calligraphy dip pens but can't get any of them to work. the glass pen looks perfect, is it simple to use as a dip pen? thank you x
Yes they are! This one, anyway, holds a lot of ink and will write for quite a long while with one dip. Much better than the metal nibs I have!
@@DianeAntoneStudio thanks duck, will get ordering xxx
Great, use one of my links to Amazon to speed it up!!
@@DianeAntoneStudio do you have a promo code for amazon uk?

what kind of water color pencils do you recommend
Hi Francine, thanks for watching the video and for your question. When I use watercolor pencils I either use Faber Castell Albrecht Durer colored pencils - here's a link amzn.to/3aa0fTF or if I want black only I use the Staedtler Karat Aquarell pencil, link - amzn.to/2Ym4Q33 Hope this helps x
Could you substitute watercolor for ink if you had to?😊
Yes, just make a big puddle, preferably in a deepish dish and dip right in!
Thank you for your reply😊
