I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...

This is a wonderful epi! Our thrift stores here, even in the small desert town that I live in, have huge selections of ceramic/glazed pottery etc. type of dishes here for palettes. The rectangular bathroom vanity trays are great, small white delicate little coffee/tea saucers. I'm looking for a deviled egg plate with their little wells for the eggs and in the center a spot for some condiment of some sort one could use for mixing.... just perfect for an assortment of tube paints squeezed out. As usual another lovely painting! Thank you, Diane
Thanks Kathy, yes, I’ve got quite a few of such things, very useful!
Yes, I've got a couple of the deviled egg trays, and I love them! They're perfect for mixing. You can get a large puddle of your mix, and it stays in the well so it doesn't get contaminated. ❤ The plates or a tray are great for more free style mixing. 😊❤
I'm so glad I found you . I love everything about your show and you. You are so refreshing. Then I read your background and that was so upliftiñg for me . I can identify with some of what you shared . Thanks for sharing yourself and your art . You are so refreshing.😊
Hi Diane and welcome to the channel! I’m so glad you found us! I hope you enjoy many more of our videos xxx
The plate idea keeps it simple. Sometimes having tons of colors in front of me is intimidating.
Lol, oh Diane, you are so funny. 😂 I love watching you paint your exploration pages. 'How to play with watercolor 101' it's so important to remember to do this and get to know your watercolors.❤
You are so welcome! It’s not possible to spend too much time playing with colors!
Bought a set of smaller plates that were used by an airline. Been using them for years. Once again you transformed a lovely palette of colors into a lovely loose painting. You are not afraid to keep adding lines both white ten black to follow your impulses or eye instincts…whatever you want to call it…you go for it because you enjoy the freedom to see what happens. Love that!!!❤
Thanks Connie for this kind comment! I hope you try the system out, it’s quite liberating really!
@@DianeAntoneStudio I have been painting with my little airline plates for 30 years. I don’t think I have ever totally cleaned off old paint but use it mixing it in with fresh squeezes from my tubes.
Thanks for the demo and lesson on your palette, and above all, your talk about color mixing. TIhat subject has always mystified me . Now I am intent on trying it, many thanks to your skill and ability to explain things so well.
It’s always useful to see something in action, it’s the beauty of video, so glad you enjoyed it.
Danny Gregory is the Sktchbook Skool guy, if i'm not mistaken. And you are right his videos are quite good and worthwhile.
Oh, thank you for posting that! It's a good tip.❤😊
My drawing really improved after I started watching Danny Gregory. I love the painting, and I use white plates as well, square ones from the Dollar Store, although they don't have much for a dollar anymore.
I use Daniel Smith sticks and I love them. They are perfect for traveling, you can put the in half pans also. I go to the Dollar Tree and my plate pallets for a $1.25.
@virginiamckenzie6799 that's what I thought about when seeing this. Thank you for letting us know.
This is the best video out there to encourage playing with watercolors!
Glad you think so!
I love this! Take your eyes away from the mistakes. I never do that, but hope to remember it! I’m so much better at painting in the am as well, I try to only sketch at night. Many good tips in this, thanks Diane.
Yes! Thank you!
Often, I forget to use the everyday things to create my art. Thank you for this and whoever brought it up. Lovely Painting, love the colors.
It’s a method I usually use when I’m on holiday and don’t have all my paraphernalia with me!
I enjoyed seeing how you used the plates with the paint on the perimeter and the mixing in the middle. I just recently started watching Sketchbook Skool. He is good. Thank you for sharing what's going on with your animals. I always love hearing the cockerels in the background.
Thanks so much for your support! Sometimes the cockerels can be a bit irritating especially if I have a headache!!
"Here's one I prepared earlier"😂 Thanks Diane, good tips 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Learning a lot from you !!
Thank you!
Love the whimsical look. Such fun. Thanks for the dinner plate idea!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you for this lesson it is very informative
Glad it was helpful!
That’s a lovely painting!
Excellant tutorial. ❤
Thank you! 😊
I love it when you show us something that I'd been thinking of doing myself. That is, the plate idea with kuretake paint pans. I've been using vintage glass luncheon plates, the kind with the little place to hold a glass coffee/punch cup. I place 6-7 paint pans down one side of the rectangular plate and mix in the other half. It's very pretty, but not as roomy as the larger dinner plate, and since it's clear glass, the colors aren't as easy to appreciate as they would be on a white surface.
Love the finished painting today! Quite pretty! Thank you!
I feel lucky my dinner plates are white.
That’s a great idea Michelle!
Yes, me too, I have a pile of old white plates which came from a house we once bought…
I love these paintings like this. Keep them coming. Pam
Thank you! Will do!
Lots of practical and creative ideas! And a beautiful painting!
Thanks so much Judit! 😊
Love your style and I always get inspired to paint 🎉
Thank you so much 😀 I’m so glad!
Very pretty.
Yes, I've been buying ceramic and porcelain dish ware of various sorts from discount stores (like TJ Maxx in the US) to use as mixing and painting palettes for years. Vintage shops and tag sales are also good sources.
Lol, I just bought a box of creme brulee because I liked the glass dishes they are in. ❤ I probably paid less for them than I would at the second-hand store.
That’s interesting. Here in France pâté is often sold in very nice earthenware dishes which are worth more than the food inside them!
Your poor flock, they are going through it. I hope they all make good recoveries 😁
Yes, everyone is fine now thanks!
How Lovely!!
Fascinating to watch you when you combine colours…that is something that I really need to know is how to mix different colours to make another colour!
Thank you so much!
Wonderful! So love all your tutorials! Many thanks!
Glad you like them!
Lovely colours..like the layer of dark leaves
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful! This is an amazing, most interesting piece of lovely art! You certainly could sell this!
Thank you! Cheers!
As always I love you and your art.
Thank you so much 😀
Creating an endless rainbow is as much fun as the actual painting.
Yup, I completely agree Deborah!
Thank you for another relaxing painting time 🙂When you added the red to the mauve (purple-ish) flowers it reminded me of the Red Hat Ladies here in America. Groups of women gathered for lunch or brunch wearing their red and purple outfits with the huge red hats. Hence the name... Of course that was a thing several years ago. Some of those watching your channel may have to look that up! Interesting what comes to my mind when I see certain colors combined. Lol Many blessings to you!
Love that! Thanks for sharing Valerie!❤️
At first, I got these Russian watercolors from my art class, then, I wanted to just get comfortable mixing on the palette, so I did what you are doing, things got muddy, so such joy just with primary colors! Have yet to use the whole set of my white dinner plate for specific palettes. I store it between the books on my shelf, quite easy to grab. I keep my brushes next to my bed wuth my water in a jar. Fun, fun!
Thanks for sharing Karen ❤️
Hi Diane! Coincidentally, I recently got some ceramic plates for watercolor mixing, but you showed the best method of putting the paint on the edges of the plate and using the center to do the mixing. The pets keep you busy ... so do ours...Emily the Christmas kitty just got into my art supplies...good thing I emptied the water out of my jars when I cleaned up! 😐 Hope your sick kitty gets well soon!
Glad it was helpful! There are so many different ways of arranging paints aren’t there!
Excellent advice, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I’m glad this was explained like this. I really needed the color arrangement explanation, You would think it’s common sense, but actually it helps to see how the color arrangement works.
Glad it was helpful Sheila x
Another great video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing! I watch Danny and his art work also!
Wonderful!
I use a $1 store plate instead of sacrificing 1 of my dinner plates. It's more cost effective for me but sometimes it can be a pain bc the colors can run together and I hate when my colors touch or mix unless I want them to. Idk it's a me problem lol. Thanks for all of your videos they are greatly appreciated and I enjoy your stories and comments. It makes my day. Have a wonderful day!
The flat plate system is just one of many options, most of which I use depending on the need of a particular painting, my mood, the paints I’m using etc etc. It’s a matter of personal taste.
Thanks
Thanks so much for your generosity xxx
@@DianeAntoneStudio you are welcome. I enjoy everything you do, including your musings on life 😁
I use saucers to mix, but I definitely like the idea and set up of a larger plate! I think I will give it a try! Thank you for sharing!!
You are so welcome! Have fun!
I upcycle fondue plates from the thrift shop as palettes. They have 4/5 divisions (for meat, bread, veggies, etc) which work perfect for pure colours. There is also a bigger area that is ideal for mixing. These plates are in every theift store and even second hand ebay (sets of 5 or 6 for 15€!) These are usually ceramic ir porcelain. At those prices you often get just ONE art palette. Let's go back to that 70s classic, fondue, and repurpose the plates for art! 😊
That’s a great idea, you’re right, you can get them even in white, which is ideal!
👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼🌝❤
I love improvising too so I used the bottom plastic tray from a store bought coffee cake because it has all of the little ‘wells’ I needed! I could show you but didn’t know if you allow photos in this feed?
It’s RUclips that doesn’t enable photos to be shared here Patricia. If you’re a member of Patreon you can share photos on the Community tab on our page, or else there’s the Facebook group, or you can put things on my facebook Diane Antone Studio. Let me know if you need more information about that.
Well, well, well…the joys of being able to think outside the box! My half pans often pop out of the tin but it never occurred to me to use them on a palette. I guess I’ll have to try this.
I've enjoyed everything about this video.
@@DianeAntoneStudio thank you Diane! I’ll have a look.
So beautiful!
I would love to buy this from you!
I am in USA.
I will list the painting on Etsy and if you would like to purchase it that’s the best way to do it. Thanks so much for your support!
@@DianeAntoneStudioThank you Diane
Your paintings are so delicate and loose !
The combination of loose and pen work are just lovely!
❤
i liked the transparency that was lost with the pen work
Pretty…. lots of good tips…..thanks…. I too, am better at painting in the morning …. Or anything else for that matter 😂…. I am a very early riser …… and it’s”downhill” from midday onwards 😂
Yes, it’s funny, and I think I’m going to start getting up a little bit earlier to make the most of it!
There is a color called dragon’s blood by MaimeriBlu that I really like. It’s about the color of dried blood
LOL!
Where can I buy your water colors? the small pans you were showing.
Diane collaborated with a business to create the palette. There's a link under the video. If you press 'more' she lists the things she uses. ❤
Wow! What an inspiring video! Thank you!
Here’s a link to those paints: Diane Antone x VHAquarell set of handmade watercolors

Do you ever put a white and/or black too!?
! Was an accident
Yes, I do use both of those!
The dollars store has plates like this.
