My secret to getting started - How to paint a loose floral with any paints

- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2024
- Are you a watercolor beginner? Do you ever feel disheartened? There's a lot of advice out there telling us all to think outside the box, be creative, find our own style... but the truth is that if you want to learn to paint you really only need to do one thing. PAINT! (And possibly draw... but not necessarily.)
Today I'm giving a shoutout to @SuzanneAllardDesign who has done an incredible amount of work putting together a huge range of fun, colorful, varied and accessible courses on Skillshare. I think you really COULD learn to paint in a month if you followed all of her classes, and we're giving you the chance to do it for FREE with our Skillshare link! So I invite you to unlock a box of relaxing and doable artistic possibilities by signing up for your free month on Skillshare and following as many of Suzanne's classes as you can!

About my brushes
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...

Very pretty painting. I love it.
When I am painting anything, I tend to ‘wing’ it with regards to the colours I’m going to use. I see many artist who choose their palette carefully, but I use what looks right to me. So we’re all different in how we approach our art. But as long as we’re enjoying the process, who cares what we do. 👍😃
That’s very true! I do both but usually allow plans to change.
Shadows, light, shading…you make it all look so easy. Wish I had your talent. 78 but enjoy playing and watching you and a few other artists.
Hi Mary Anne, so glad you’re enjoying the videos and thanks so much for your support!
Long live Kuretake paint! 💕
love watching you....
62 and im addicted
if i didnt work or have to do other things id be watching you and experimenting more...
thank you so much for your inspiration and carefree look on life....from Australia
Awesome! Thank you so much!
I like this painting.
The watercolor inspires me in cross stitching.
Oh, I am really pleasantly surprised how lovely this came out. I have some 90lb paper and I never thought you'd be able to achieve this! I must pull it out again and give this a try! Beautiful!
Ah there you are, always a surprise!!❤️
This is stunning! Sunshine in a vase. In a frame it would brighten any room, and make you feel happy. Thanks Diane.
Yes Liz, I think it would be good framed. I’m grateful to Suzanne for the inspiration.
But this is very recognisably your style 😊.
Thanks!!
Watching this as I eat breakfast and thinking what to paint next. This is inspiring me to get out my Kuretake paint and make a loose vase of flowers. The evolution of the painting is so much fun. Have a happy day….
Thanks Linda, you will enjoy this one!!
Beautiful, beautiful! I love this! This picture cheers me up with its bright colours!
Thank you !!!❤❤❤
Hi Diane! I love the colors of the flowers! So pretty and cheerful! This is a great video....thank you
Thank you so much!
Lovely floral arrangement - you so nicely fill the paper with colour and come up with something really pretty!
Thanks so much Karen!
I do love watching you build a composition. I am one who has to plan everything out.
I usually have some kind of idea in mind but as I add strokes the plan changes. Like a campaign of war, adjusting on the field!
Just watched and painted along with this one, coincidentally, I have been watching Suzanne Allard recently, and was wondering about trying a painting in her style, and here you are doing your interpretation!
Great minds think alike !!!
A great way to relax and paint beautiful flowers in a vase. Thank you!
Simple et efficace, cette aquarelle est merveilleuse 👍👏💕🌞🌈🍀
How lovely! Joyful, colourful and delightfully free. Thank you for lifting our spirits again Diane 😊
I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m going to,do more of it! LOL you made me laugh out loud!
That is so lovely and charming, I want it on my wall sooo I guess I will have to give it a try. It doesn't look difficult at all, just a lot of well place strokes, and color of course. Color is taking me awhile to learn what looks good together. I've never been a 'fashionista' even in high school. However, with knitting and crochet I have learned a lot about what looks good together....things I would never have paired up together but in wc isn't quite translating the same for me. Over thinking? Very possibly. Thank you for sharing this piece, Diane.
I know exactly what you mean Kathy. I use “already existing” art to guide my color choices, it’s not a gift I have either to know what goes with what. It’s more a question of balance, as almost any color will go with any other if it is in the right place and amount xx
Gorgeous! Thanks for all the tips!
Pretty and bright. I must buy a bigger set of those. ❤
You should! Kuretake 48 set Kuretake Gansai Tambi 48 Color Set amzn.to/3zZX8Kn
Sure suprised abt the pi nk ones!
You inspire me I just took a 8 hour road trip and water colored all the way😀😀 talk about loose floral😃😂
That is awesome!
I love SkillShare!
WoW, Very Fantastic and Wonderful Painting,
Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👌👌🤩🤩🌹🌹🌹🌹
I like it! It has inspired me to do something similar 🙏🏼 I like your rooster 😊
As a life long acrylic painter the need to try something new kind of hit me this past long winter. I found your lovely channel end of March. I noticed that my favorite videos (whilst binge watching) you painted with the Kuretaki paints. I had been trying my hand at watercolor with a very cheap set of watercolors. But wanting "something more". So I ordered the full 48 and started painting with them April 6.
I have painted with the Kuretaki everyday, even upping the paper quality a little as well.
I LOVE these paints far better than gouache. I am able to blend most times as long as I pay attention to the water. Honestly, I can't tell you how I do it, just happens when I need it.😊
All this to say... THANK YOU for your videos and encouragement❤ I am having the best time painting in a very long time.
That is SO good to hear! Some people have wondered why I am so enthusiastic about Kuretake paints and you have described it perfectly. (There are other brands of Gansai Tambi, and they are also good, just not so widely available…) Using them has also broadened my ability to paint with regular watercolors too. Gouache can be very “dead” in a way - ideal for surface art for reproduction and printing on products etc, but it doesn’t have the life of watercolor. Glad you’re enjoying it!
@DianeAntoneStudio One last thing...I now have 45, completed detail , little 5x8 paintings on 300 gm paper. With another 15 in progress. And I just realized that the Kuretaki paints are the watercolor equivalent to acrylics without a lot of hassel. Much easier to set up and put away than the acrylics.
I am by no means a good painter but it is an awesome discovery at my age. I will have to start replacing the individual colors in another 3 weeks at this rate. 😂
Love this Diane! Thank you for sharing! I am so enjoying following you and your creations Cheers ❤
Thank you so much Janice, so happy to hear that!
You make it look so easy & I will be having a go at it myself💜💜💜💜
You can do it! Have fun!
I have sooo much trouble with the loose technique!! Thank you for this tutorial Diane !! You make it look so easy 🩷
Keep trying!!
Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wonderfully light and airy flowers. I enjoyed watching you painting the leaves, in all their variety, with such dexterous brushstrokes. A very happy feeling
That’s lovely, full of summer! Holbein makes a Jaune Brillante #1 & #2. You might take a look at the other if you don’t have it. They’re both great.
I love your color choices for this. It's such a happy painting and I'm always so impressed with your compositions. I still struggle a bit with that. I think I often overdue it and don't know when to stop :) haha
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Very lovely💖🤩
I just ordered my Diane Antone X Craftamo set! Sooo excited for it to come in. It won't make me paint as well as Diane but I can't wait to try them out! Also.... yes I totally signed up for SkillShare
Hi and thanks so much for all your support! So glad you have bought the brushes, I know you’ll like them, and Skillshare is certainly interesting! Sending you all the best! Diane x
My 334th. 😊 as always a joy to watch and listen . 😊wim
Wonderful!
Wwwwoooowwww. I LIKE IT ❤❤❤
Very nice! I have Shell Pink and Jaune Brilliant and never think of using them. I’ll have to remember. What did putting down the gray wash at the start do for your painting? I wasn’t sure.
Mostly just to help me get started on being bold with color, remove the fear of spoiling the pristine white paper!
When I 'copy' another artist piece I always find I learn something unexpected. Its so interesting. ❤ I'd like 9:52 to know the name of the artist who uses graphite under her watercolor. It sounds intriguing... I've been experimenting with painting my shadows in first and glazing over it. ❤😂 fun times.
Good question! I’m not sure who that is…
What were you using at 13:18? Such a fun painting 🌸🪷🏵
Shell Pink from Holbein paints!
I have a question for you Diane. You seem to use kurataki not sure the spelling. Do you ever combine traditional watercolor and kurataki? ❤
Yes I do all the time!
I notice you took out all the pans from your palettes and placed on tray by color groups. All of mine are still in the palettes and I fear mixing/have been using colors straight from the palette!!!
You can’t go far wrong when mixing Kuretake paints. Somehow the colors all mix well together!
