Same here! I just commented that I loved the way Diane goes through the thought process. I'm close to the end of this video, and I'm stunned at how much I've learned.❤
Sun flowers grow everywherevarpind my house...the birds drop eefswhere I would never have thought about...some plants grow 5 feet tall. Love that you have captured them so well...the centers are amazing as are yhe petals. WOW! ❤
Your sunflowers are beautiful; the dark blue mount is perfect for them. I’m creating a botanical journal; doing cherry blossoms now. 🎨 Sunflowers will be soon.
Guess I lost my first comment so I'll just say how Much love sunflowers and you captured them so well. The center is amazing as is the whole painting. They grow 5 feet tall all around my house. The birds plant them for me. 🌻🌻
This is so pretty, The yellow really jumps off the page and I love how the brown of the centers bled into the petals. Where is the flowers of the world challenge going on? I'd love to check it out!
My 303 th. Thanks for asking. My bonsai are repotted and now back to painting. I would like to paint every video I watch,but that is in this time of year a challenge because of all the outdoor work in the vegetable garden, my time spending on exercise on the guitar and keyboard , my taking care of the garden from my last ant,88 years old and very spoiled ( her husband did every thing , she didn't do the dishes ,or gardening or baking waffels or getting groceries etc, he did everything. She only had to be nice and beautiful😂😂 but also sad😢 because now he died she is lost ) being a houseman, having migraine so now and then. So...watching you and listening to your stories or just telling what you paint is a bit of me-time. I will try next to watching several times a week once a week to paint. Time will tell. For now I am pleased to be back. ( I will try not to get overwelmed by the incredible amount of new videos you uploaded 😅) see you soon😊wim
I'm so much into concentrating on the painting part that I don't notice background etc. noise.....and I don't care. That's a wonderful painting and I, too, am veering towards the dark mount. thanks so much for sharing this lovely piece.
Oh my! Diane, that is beautiful! I was thinking about you framing it and you beat me to it lol! I like the dark mat the best! Well done~ I don't think I told you, but I bought a set of Kuratake Japanese watercolor paints and I'm glad I did! They are so creamy and pleasant to use! I love it! Thanks to you with all the times you use yours! They are a little different then the regular watercolor paints, but I like it! Much love from Washington State! ❤️✝️🙏🏻
I love tiny versions of things and that tiny Meeden pad is so cute! You've put them to good use. Sunflowers are gorgeous in real life and in paintings. The middles of your look so 3D, they pop right off the page.
HI Diane!!! I'm sorry I've not been in touch, but illness made art take a back seat. That said, I LOVE your sunflowers!! I can't ever seem to get my petals to bleed into the brown--such a lovely, painterly appearance. Hope you're well, and many thanks for all of your instructions and conversation. I think I missed this most of all. xx Fanna (in Denver, Colorado) :)
The background noise in your videos isn't distracting in the least bit, so please don't worry about it. Most of the time, whatever mic you are using, is canceling out the worst of it, so it's hardly noticeable. I love how the centers of the flowers have so much dimension that it feels like they would be 3D if you touched them! Thanks for another wonderful video.
Simply gorgeous! I liked the glaze effect and the dark blue mat. You are so encouraging and inspiring. Thanks so much for the sacrifices you and Tamsin make for all of us❤️❤️
I can't wait to try this painting! Beautiful Sunflowers! I love the way the centers pop out and I want to try it and see if I can do that. Thanks Diane!
Once again beautiful result, Diane! - I learned something new today - actually 2! - Glazing just the too blue greens with Quinacrodine gold! and the darker mount which makes the painting pop. I enjoy being taught by you! :-) Thank you!!
Bonsoir Diane, J'adore tes tournesols. (Vincent Van Gogh) . Tous les tournesols que tu as fait sont magnifiques. Je ne sais pas si tu pourrais reprendre tous tes tournesols et faire une vidéo. Merci. Karine.
Which Medeen palette are you using to house all your Kuratake pans? Or is it just a lid from one 😉? Also, you mentioned having to replace one or two pans because you’re getting low on some colors. Where are the individual Kuratake pans available? Love the flower challenge. Thanks for all your help.
Love your work...but I have seen quite a few of your videos now and I find the background music unnecessary. I know it's hard to chat continuously but the silence is fine with me. Much ❤.
Thanks so much for your comment and for enjoying the videos. We don’t put music on them any more so the ones you find with music on are all older videos from when we first started to make them a couple of years ago - some people still enjoy the ones with music and ask us to put it on new ones, but we don’t do that, only on the compilation long videos will there be the original music. Thanks again x
I like your background noise, your conversation, and watching you do this lovely painting ❤
Thank you so much 😀
You can never have too many sunflowers, beautiful painting. Thank you. I love it ❤️
One of my most favorite things to paint!!! These are beautiful and an interesting spin. I love the mounting!!!the navy one was so nice!!🌻🌻🌻
Sunflowers....my favorite....thanks for sharing! 🌻
You are so welcome❤️
The happiest flowers around....thank you Diane.....just stunning!

Beautiful ❣️🌼
Love these sunflowers. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Your painting is soooo lovely!!!
I like the dark mount, which is unusual for me. Very pretty.
I agree, I’m not generally a fan of dark mounts these days but that one worked!
Thank you again for this demo.
My pleasure!
Gorgeous! And the blue mount really makes the painting stand out. Oh and the swatch with doodles is a great idea. Doing that tomorrow!
I just love this, would be a very fun cheery card 😁❤
Love these!
How beautifully, this turned out. You are awesome for sharing your watercolour painting skills..
I love to share what I do. Especially if it works out!
Your swatch painting looks like a lovely quilt. Very pretty paintings.
LOL! Yes, you’re right, it does look like a quilt!
Lovely Diane! So much instruction and technique explained. Much appreciated. Sunflower are always so cheerful. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Same here! I just commented that I loved the way Diane goes through the thought process. I'm close to the end of this video, and I'm stunned at how much I've learned.❤
I always appreciate your doodle ideas !
Glad you like them!
Very nice. I love sunflowers. I need to get busy painting.
Great idea!

Милая Диана, спсибо за Ваш Труд, вдохновили!!!❤
I love the glazing effect!
Your sunflowers are beautiful; the dark blue mount is perfect for them. I’m creating a botanical journal; doing cherry blossoms now. 🎨 Sunflowers will be soon.
Mesmerising watching you paint, what a stunning result! Thankyou😀
Thank you so much 😀
Love these sunny sunflowers, a welcome pop of sunshine on a grey, rainy day. Thankyou Diane x
Just my thinking too, it’s been drizzling like November here since last October!
Guess I lost my first comment so I'll just say how Much love sunflowers and you captured them so well. The center is amazing as is the whole painting. They grow 5 feet tall all around my house. The birds plant them for me. 🌻🌻
That’s fantastic Connie, what sensible birds, to sow the seeds they can later eat from the flower!
Wow. Love the navy framing piece.
It’s just the right color to set them off!
Spectacular and stunning! Thank you!
Thank you too! So glad you enjoyed it!
This is so pretty, The yellow really jumps off the page and I love how the brown of the centers bled into the petals. Where is the flowers of the world challenge going on? I'd love to check it out!
I love the bleeds too. It’s always such a thrill when it works!

So glad you treated yourself to the Kuretake paints. I still love my trad watercolors but the Kuretake are special.
I love this!
Loved this. X
Super awesome
Spectacular!
Loved this ❣️ so pretty. Thank you D.
You are so welcome! Someone said sunflowers were their nemesis the other day. I blame Van Gogh for that - unreachable heights!
I love the way you go through the thought process ❤. Also, those mini cards remind me of 'Artist Trading Cards'... they look so fun!
Oh my goodness! I love your swatching with the doodles on it! It’s beautiful! Reminds me of a colorful quilt! Will you be doing this one in a video?
I love tiny versions of things and that tiny Meeden pad is so cute! You've put them to good use. Sunflowers are gorgeous in real life and in paintings. The middles of your look so 3D, they pop right off the page.

such a good tutorial, I love this ☺☺
Thank you! 😊
Great idea to doodle on squares of watercolour colours…always looks good to let colours bleed into each other..adds more character

The dark frame looks great on this beauty!
Great tutorial thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks again for another great flower demonstration. And what background noise that’s just life and I enjoy hearing it.
This painting makes my heart so happy! If I don't do any of the other March flowers, I will absolutely attempt this one. I am dazzled. 🌻💖
I can't wait to try this painting! Beautiful Sunflowers! I love the way the centers pop out and I want to try it and see if I can do that. Thanks Diane!
Everyday you seem to execute something special in spite of it all. Congratulations.
Thank you very much!
The centers really POP!
So pretty and sunny🤩
Like the dark blue mount around it better than the whites. Good choice.
Once again beautiful result, Diane! - I learned something new today - actually 2! - Glazing just the too blue greens with Quinacrodine gold! and the darker mount which makes the painting pop. I enjoy being taught by you! :-) Thank you!!
Wonderful!
Bonsoir Diane,
J'adore tes tournesols.
(Vincent Van Gogh) .
Tous les tournesols que tu as fait sont magnifiques.
Je ne sais pas si tu pourrais reprendre tous tes tournesols et faire une vidéo.
Merci.
Karine.
C’est une très bonne suggestion Karine! On va le faire prochainement et je te remercie pour ta bonne idée !
Thanks fun to try!💐

⚠️🎨 ATTN: Quinacridone Gold PR206, PV19, PY150 CHANGED to " Transparent Gold Deep" PR179, PV19, PY150!
Do you wax your watercolor paintings to seal them?
I haven’t ever done that, but I’ve heard it’s a good idea. I should give it a try!
...doodle page is to die for...
Did I hear you say acrylic paint was not worth our time?
No, I don’t think that’s what I meant.
Love your work...but I have seen quite a few of your videos now and I find the background music unnecessary. I know it's hard to chat continuously but the silence is fine with me. Much ❤.
