I have the set of Kuretaki paints that you recommended some time ago. It’s a set of 36 and I have to say that I can paint quite a bit without having to mix colors but when I do mix them, they come out very nicely with a very rich pigment.
What a clever idea Diane…your creativeness knows no bounds when you are out and about in your garden. Your self made reminder notes on words and doodles is fabulous….grateful thanks to your chanel Diane, always still here watching to the end❤❤❤
You never cease to amaze me. You started with the strawberry, then leaves with a variety of shades. Isolated them, matched the paint to create a limited palette, painted random blocks and embellished them with the golds. It turned out like a masterpiece! I could imagine this framed and hung….. or …. printed to make a beautiful shower curtain. I am just amazed. I never was able to study color theory, this has opened a whole new mindset for me for creating a limited palette with the hope of elevating my art to a new level. Thank you. (I’m guilty of trying to use too many colors).
Hi Diane! The colors are just beautiful! Nature gives us beautiful colors and you have used them so nicely. Having fun is important and you demonstrate it so well. I just loved seeing all the kitties eating and the beautiful Siamese in the garden and the beautiful Goldens are just precious! Thank you for a great video and learning process!😊❤😻🦮🦮
I love it that you have made accomodations for your limitations. As a special ed teacher with my own limitations, I see you doing exactly what we want our students to do getting on with their, (er.. my) lives. Congratulations for showing us the way!
I love how this has turned out. Words that come to mind are autumn, sunshine and warmth and a really great way to get a harmonious colour palette which is all natural nature! When you do these doodle paintings I wonder what the end result will be and it’s always wonderful and dare I say…….pretty! Thank you.
This is so gorgeous and I am definitely inspired❣️. I’ve got a page painted & ready to doodle and boy, you know how to finish off the gorgeousness ❣️. Thank you💜🦋
Your cat speaks to you in much the same way as mine speaks to me! He didn't speak at all when he first moved in with us, but in the two years he's been with us he's developed quite a vocabulary.
This is the most interesting way to create a palate/swatch card! I’m intrigued to make one of these with Autumn leaves when I feel well enough to paint again! Thank you for the look into the strawberry garden!
Diane I love watching your videos they are so inspiring. I always feel as if I have had a chat with a good friend and been given a big hug and told that whatever I do it will be fine. Thank you so much for the effort you put into producing them. Please never stop and I’m sure I’m not the only one who always watches them to the end ❤
I always stay to the end, I hate the thought of missing any part of your lovely videos. Oreo! A most adorable cat! And another lovely page of paint and doodles. Thank you Mx
So glad I found this, I have already asked for this set as a birthday gift from my daughter, which I will receive in 3 days time, so excited to try them out, thanks Diane 🥰
Diane, have you tried the Kuretake Granulating Colours set as yet? I would love to hear your opinion and find out how you would use these paints. I find it very difficult to attain the exact volume of each colour. I enjoy your ability of selecting the right colours just by looking at the colour in the palette. Thank you for sharing.
I love my Kuretaki set, I had that particular set for my birthday a few years ago and this year I recieved the Art Nouveau. I love them both and I find you get fantastic salt effects with these paints, have you tried that salt effects with them? X
It looks like a deliciously fun page. Since I have the same Coliro and Kuretake plus something called Luminosa from Etsy I can try this too and I will. I love it. XOXOJANE
I always watch to the end! But I did have to turn off the sound briefly while you stirred that bronze paint, hahaha. It was like scratching a blackboard for me! You give me so many fun ideas to try and I'm very thankful.
Diane, I sooo love all your furbabies!! The doggies look like twins. I have two orange tabby kittie boys who are great company. I have A smaller set of these watercolor paints, and am fixing to do a little bookmark, loosely keeping with what you've done here. I chose 5 nice "Fall" colors to play with, and I have 2 or 3 bookmarks ready and itching for me to paint something on them so, here we go! Thanks for your wonderful inspiration here.
@@DianeAntoneStudio I am fixing to post to my fb page the 2 Bookmarks I did this evening based on your yt channel instruction here!! I quite cried over how they turned out!! I would have never thought to do a little piece of artwork thusly, and I am just REALLY AMAZED by what my efforts accomplished with these Bookmarks! Thank you sooo very much, Diane, for your inspiration that made me try/do these!!
I waited until the very end and watched your”fur babies” begin eating their lunch. Even still with you when the black & white cat jumped down from the bookcase. Hope you have a good time in Egypt. Hopefully not too hot. We are visiting my husband’s sons in Germany, will go back to Croatia before we go home October 1.
Love the cats in the end sure to keep people interested at the end of these. Always try to remember to stay through the final bits but cats, glimpses of studio and grounds makes it always easier. 😊
Diane, have you ever tried to put the Schminke leftover “made” paint into a container to store? Am wondering if it would maintain its integrity if sealed/stored properly. I desperately want to buy some, but I’m not keen on dumping the leftover into the ecosystem, if I can help it.
Garden centres in the UK are already selling christmas decorations, and playing jingles! Awful. Beautiful mix of colours, I love it. Listening to, and seeing your animals, is the icing on the cake. Thank you
Oh no! I discovered some Kuretake colors I don’t have, and I have a lot. I just love your idea of using nature’s colors to create a palette. I’m going to do that right after I buy these missing colors! Also, is your square palette tin? I too have moved my K paints from their original box to a tin palette and attached magnets to avoid sliding around. I am a Daniel Smith fan, but find Kuretake is a wonderful companion..thank you for this video.
I’ve been trying for a few days to sign up on your website to get the sketches but can never seem to get an email confirmation to get it. Is there a secret. I absolutely love you videos ❤️
Ohh, don't pretend you don't let cats on the counter! All of us that have kitties know that cats lay claim to counter space. Of course I tell everyone that my cats absolutely never jump on the counter😅 !! Absolutely fascinating art work, loved it.
What size is that palette that you so cleverly assembled. I really like your style of communicating! Also I didn’t catch the name of the company that produces that swatching grid. Please and thank you!
Hi and thanks for your kind comment and question! The swatching grid (with 9 square spaces?) is home made. I can give you dimensions if you like. The palette where I keep my Kuretake paints measures 13 inches square and is the lid to a large Meeden palette: Meeden Large Studio Palette with Lid amzn.to/3MscDSg Hope this helps! Diane x
I love the rooster announcing his presence during this beautiful tutorial.......
I watched till the very end and saw all of your animals having dinner! What a wonderful menagerie ❤️
I also absolutely love sharing your garden, home,and animals!! And as always I am so grateful for your videos
I love Kuretake paints. They really are in a class all their own.
I have the set of Kuretaki paints that you recommended some time ago. It’s a set of 36 and I have to say that I can paint quite a bit without having to mix colors but when I do mix them, they come out very nicely with a very rich pigment.
This needs to be made into a quilt. It’s so beautiful and original. Thank you for sharing this. Great tutorial!
What a clever idea Diane…your creativeness knows no bounds when you are out and about in your garden. Your self made reminder notes on words and doodles is fabulous….grateful thanks to your chanel Diane, always still here watching to the end❤❤❤
I love the color scheme. Yes I always stay to the end. I don’t want to miss the pets
Thanks for sharing your beautiful talent, your lovely fur babies, and a part of your awesome garden.
Great tutorial! I love Kuretake paints!

Thanks so much Linda, so glad you enjoyed that and what a good idea, I need a new shower curtain!!!
Oooh such beautiful colors! Also, very much enjoy seeing the farm!
Lovely colourful composition….choosing a colour palette from nature is a great idea
I totally enjoyed this video/tutorial! ❤ thanks for sharing?

Using those swatch doodle designs, e.g.
Beautiful, Diane! And your Goldens' faces are so precious! ❤
So much fun and relaxing😊❤ Thanks Diane!
Thank you for you teaching me so much about art. I look forward to your videos and give me so much joy.
Loved this ….. having a lazy morning enjoying colour swatching 🙏🏻

Thank you for the video. I love how that came out. And I stayed until the end! Yay for feeding time!
Color adventure! It almost makes me hold my breath!
My absolute favourite paints. Awesome video.
I love the idea of the color swatches. I watched the end just to look at your beautiful animals. thank you for continually looking for new ideas.
I so love these paints !
Thanks to you I bought them a couple years ago and they are my favorite.
I love the idea of making a pallet from nature-the expert in color!
Just beautiful!
Our creator is the expert!
I always love to see you and your wonderful place.
This is so gorgeous and I am definitely inspired❣️. I’ve got a page painted & ready to doodle and boy, you know how to finish off the gorgeousness ❣️. Thank you💜🦋

And another lovely page of paint and doodles. Thank you Mx
So glad I found this, I have already asked for this set as a birthday gift from my daughter, which I will receive in 3 days time, so excited to try them out, thanks Diane 🥰
I got one set from my husband for my birthday in July and another set from my son, they are beautiful to paint with..😊
@@Lilygirl283 Wonderful! 😊😊❤
Love all the colors you used and the way you do your doodle! ❤
Thanks Connie!
One of my favorite channels🎉🎉🎉
I’ll be giving this a go …. many thanks.
this is such a great idea and it turned out beautiful. I always stay to the end Diane. I have learned so much from you ❤

Very pretty!
Loved this, Diane,….thank you 🤩💕
HELLO DIANE!!!! I just ordered the Kuretake 48 color paint set!!!! So excited!!!!!!🤗
Feeding Frenzy!!! So cute. I like the painting too. 😀
Great gelli plate art. Love it.
Great idea to swatch the colours of real plants 😍
Greetings from Germany from Silly 🦋
I love the gold additions ☺☺
Interesting exercise 😊
Lovely. Your stirring with the palette knife brought back my memory of my Mum saying "Stir with a knife, Stir in strife". Hence, I never do.
Yes, my mother said the same. I don’t normally stir with a knife, but it was that or my finger!
I love my Kuretaki set, I had that particular set for my birthday a few years ago and this year I recieved the Art Nouveau. I love them both and I find you get fantastic salt effects with these paints, have you tried that salt effects with them? X
I enjoy my Kuretake a lot
I stayed to the end! I love your cats and dogs. And the rooster 🐓 in the background! And, of course, your art🎨 and your methodology. Thank you.
Thank you so much 😀
It looks like a deliciously fun page. Since I have the same Coliro and Kuretake plus something called Luminosa from Etsy I can try this too and I will. I love it. XOXOJANE

That’s so good to hear, so happy for you!
What pallet do you use, I would like a pallet that uses full pans

Thanks so much for being so thoughtful - it really helps!
I've noticed that these paints dry with a sheen - but haven't seen that this is an issue for others. Is it my particular palette or all this brand?
Love that happy accident!!

I just left it to dry in the dish I mixed it in and then I add water again later to use it when needed. No problem with this method x
@@DianeAntoneStudio, thank you

thanks for the inspiration .
You are so welcome!
nice 😍
😊my 373th a very good way to create a natural harmonious pallet.😊wim
Don’t you believe it Diane, Action already got a Christmas isle, which I immediately walked past.xxxxx
Yup, same here at Action in France!
Thanks
I’ve been trying for a few days to sign up on your website to get the sketches but can never seem to get an email confirmation to get it. Is there a secret. I absolutely love you videos ❤️
Check again - we have to do it manually at the moment and there is a backlog, so sorry about that xx
@@DianeAntoneStudio I got it!! Thank you so much
What fun.
Ohh, don't pretend you don't let cats on the counter! All of us that have kitties know that cats lay claim to counter space. Of course I tell everyone that my cats absolutely never jump on the counter😅 !!
Absolutely fascinating art work, loved it.
It’s true, our cats have free access to every spot in the house. And we have 5 of them!
Where does Diana find the names of the paints? I only have numbers on my box of paints.
In my set the names are printed on the back of each pan. They were also written on the little swatch card that came with the set. Hope that helps!
I swore we were going to paint wild strawberries...
You fooled me!
What size is that palette that you so cleverly assembled. I really like your style of communicating! Also I didn’t catch the name of the company that produces that swatching grid. Please and thank you!
And what a great tip with the Blu-tac. Thanks
Hi and thanks for your kind comment and question! The swatching grid (with 9 square spaces?) is home made. I can give you dimensions if you like.

Yes! I’m a lazy bones when it comes to precision cutting. I’ll look around. Thanks for taking the time!
Thanks for the Meeden Amazon link!!! Love how the lid fits most of the Kuretake!!! ❤
Mixing that gold is like nails on a chalkboard
So sorry!
the sound of you scraping that gold paint... argh....
But worth the scaping, loved the finished product and seeing your beautiful puppies and kitties
