Oh my goodness Diane! What a treat to see three painting tutorials in this video! I continue to learn so much from you. I love water and beach paintings but never seem to be able to capture the look, especially reflections. You made this very achievable, as you always do in all of your tutorials. I love your people painting technique. I so enjoy how you go with the flow, just letting your imagination take you where it will. The other day I was taking about your channel with a friend and was asking myself what makes you my favorite artist/instructor, and there are many things. Your unique style, peacefulness of your videos, precious surprises here and there of seeing your beloved animals, your story telling, videography, (thank you Tamsin). As I was explaining your channel to her, I realized another couple of things that really draws me to your channel and it is because of the pace of your videos, and the gift you have of helping your students to gain confidence. Your clear instructions really do make all of your paintings achievable. Sorry for the long message, but there's just so much I appreciate about you! I look forward to giving all three of these paintings a try. By the way, another one of my friend's sent me a message saying she's "Liked" and "Subscribed" to your channel. It's so fun seeing your channel grow! It must be a very rewarding feeling knowing you are sharing your gift with so many people. You are changing lives in a positive way. Thank you!
Thanks Donna, that means an awful lot to me! So appreciate your support over the year, and I hope you are still enjoying painting with us. All the best, xxx
All of your paintings are so special! I love all of them! I am watching this before bed, and I must say how calming your voice is, and I can go to sleep dreaming about painting and thinking which of these I shall try first! Thank you so very much for sharing your talent.
I love these kind of paintings.… From the imagination…and simple. It’s relaxing and inspiring to watch your tutorials. Thank you and your whole crew for posting. 💙🌵🙏
Diane, you out did yourself today! Beautiful butterfles as well as warm and inviting lake and beach scenes. I see all of these as a way to get back to enjoying watercolor. Lifes unforseen circumstances are settled and I can finally get back to painting. ☺
Tout parait si simple en vous regardant peindre. Je me suis lancée dans l'exécution de la plage et du paysage des arbres... Mon dieu que cela est difficile. Vous m'avez permis de progresser et je ne manque pas de vous suivre car j'adore votre univers qui me correspond. Merci pour toutes ces vidéos qui me donnent de belles perspectives pour peindre encore et encore...
Relaxing and inspirational! Love the little peeps! Landscapes are a little challenge for me, this will be great practice, thank you my friend! Looking forward to todays lesson, see you later! xoxo
That is something I need to work on. I have the hardest time creating depth in a painting or drawing. Thanks for sharing these little inspirations, Diane.
I really enjoy these types of paintings...I do really like your birds, & animal ones - but I too am trying to learn to paint looser....As an acrylic painter I often paint details and I am trying to learn to let imagination take over....Thank you for these. I love them.
Thank you for making this video. I usually watch it through and just watch, and then watch again and paint with it. Thank you for making this wonderful example of loose painting with no sketching, especially showing how to do people. I’ve watched a couple of the loose painting videos you suggested in a reply, and will watch more. This method also helps me paint not so small. Oh and today just now I ordered quinacrodone gold. There just is not a color like it, and I like that it looks more yellow when diluted and more gold-brown when used stronger.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I have wanted to try watercolor painting but haven’t yet. I think I will try the butterflies first. I love the idea of wetting the paper first, and I think it will give me a good idea of how the paint flows. Thank you so very much.
Thank you again for your time & effort to make these videos. You have made me feel very excited about trying watercolour landscapes 😊. I love landscapes with people in them, in this style, but feel intimidated by them, but you make them look much easier to try 😁. Thank you. Have a fantastic day, stay safe. Warm Regards Fiona from Sydney Australia 😊
Hello! I am new to your channel today, and pretty new to watercolor really, and I wanted to say how much I really enjoyed this video!! Thank you so much! I loved getting to see you recreate a previous painting and seeing the process, it was so encouraging and helpful and also so very relaxing and fun to watch! I am excited to try these out!! I found this video so very helpful, and I really appreciate your demeanor, very humble and honest and encouraging! Thank you Diane!:)
Hi there, don't know how your comment from 3 months ago got missed, I try to reply to everyone, but it slipped through the net! I hope you are still watching the videos and enjoying them, and I very much appreciate your lovely comments and your kindness. Wishing you all the best and happy painting xx
you really make it looks so easy and effortless. I really need to practice. I suppose that is key isn't it? Thank you for sharing this, they are beautiful.
Cool, we got three for one today! I can't decide which is my favorite. This was so relaxing to watch. And you left us with a cliffhanger. Tune in tomorrow to see how we finish the butterflies :)
I too have never managed landscapes they just look so stiff when I do them. Thank you for these techniques I too will be trying them. Do you have a Facebook group where we can share it versions of your demonstrations and much needed help videos. Thank you so much for being so generous of your time and your patience. I love watching and listening to you work. Many thanks for your inspiration. It has really got me into watercolour which previously I have avoided in favour of dry pastels. I'm over the moon. I love the control on the sound track. Made me think of my time living in France I miss it so much.xx
Hi and thanks so much for your lovely comment! I do have Facebook groups. The biggest one is Learn to Paint Watercolor, which everyone can join. Then I also have a private group for members of the channel - if you subscribe to the Membership and support the channel you can join the Diane Antone Studio Private Members Group and that one I personally admin and comment on painting which are posted. The other group is bigger and we have other admins who offer advice. Hope this helps - landscapes don't need to be complicated and daunting, and if you like a loose style it's easy to learn how to make a pretty good landscape.Thanks again for your support x
Hi, thanks for your question - I think you mean Naples Yellow, which is an opaque yellow often used in skies as it resists mixing with the blue pigment. Hope this helps x
You're absolutely amazing, Diane! I must try this!
Hope you like it! Have fun!
I love hearing your roosters while you are painting.
Thank you Diane
For spending time with us . For teaching us so much. For your calm presence!
I love to hear your rooster and all your critters. Love your paintings too!

I loved this. Haven't had the slightest motivation to paint lately, but have to try this later. This style really appeals to me. Thanks you!
You’re so welcome Sue!
All are good ideas to try
Thanks so much for the tutorial. I've been waiting for a landscape for a while. And today I got 2! And bonus butterflies.
You’re so welcome Darlene! Hope you enjoy giving them a try!!
Just beginning to learn. Thank you for your tutorials. You make it look so easy and enjoyable. It encourages me to keep trying.
You can do it!
Love this, thanks for sharing
Since you lived in the Bahamas I bet you could give us a lot of landscape paintings.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I have wanted to try watercolor painting but haven’t yet. I think I will try the butterflies first. I love the idea of wetting the paper first, and I think it will give me a good idea of how the paint flows. Thank you so very much.

Hi Maria, welcome to the channel!
What is the yellow that doesn't turn green when painted next to blue?
