As a beginner, I have to do this more. Diane is the ONLY teacher on You Tube that teaches this way. So unintimidating. So effortless. Such a great way to get to know your colors, your brushstrokes and your water ratios! Thank you AGAIN Diane! Do you ever do long live videos? That way you can be talking to us and not all by yourself! Love You❣️
…. mucy Duck? Yay! Now I have a name for how I treat my pallets! Happy. Day! Loving this lesson. Diane, you are getting inspired to paint again!XOXO❤️❤️❤️
I do like your abstracts Diane. Thank you for this one. The KT art Nouveau set is so nice with the soft pastel like colours. Just received the 48 paint set of Kure Take last week….am so in love with it…❤
I love watching you create and listening to you. It’s very calming and makes me smile. You’re putting joy out into the universe! 😊 Thank you for doing what you do! ❤
Since I’ve had so little success with white gel pens, I tried a white pastel pencil and was delighted with the result! I have 6 colours so I can now have some fun. I really like this idea of drawing over paint. Thanks for the inspiration.
This easy flowing video was my little "zen" moment. The birds chirping in the background, your gentle chatter and easy descriptions, and your soft color choices; all just made me take a deep breath and let it all go! You always do that for me, in case you didn't know. 😉 Thank you for sharing your beautiful art and ideas. I've been soaking it up! 🥰😘
I love that and it's great for inspirational practice for me. I ordered my Art Neveau set March3 but the latest 'expected' date is July 31. It's nowhere in the world!!! I'm disappointed but not devastated. I love those colors. I saw your vid on how to create your own but being so new to wc and little patience (I just want to paint!) and being old it would cut into the valuable time I have left. I bought the Meeden paints on your rec because of the price, painting looked nice and the fact that I have yet to own tube paints. Then I saw the Frugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich the other day reviewing the exact same set and oh my.....opposite of your review. Doesn't matter.....so many opinions but I will play with them and form my own but half or most of what she was talking about I don't know anything about....yet. Again, thanks for sharing. You are my fave out of a dedicated 6 wc channels that I truly love (I watch a lot more of course) Have a brilliant day😀
Hi Kathy and thanks so much for your super kind words, and for calling me your fave, that’s wonderful! I was also interested by Lindsay’s review. I felt she was asking an awful lot of performance from a $17 set of 24 paints (large 12ml tubes as well!) - and her concerns about the pigment used and the lightfastness etc are not most people’s biggest worry - we just want to PAINT! Each to their own, as they say, and I still stick to my opinion about Meeden paints - good value for the price, clean, bright colors and a good selection of them, plus Meeden will stand behind their product and give a full refund if you’re not happy! I’m glad you ARE happy though - and I’m sorry about the disappearance of the Art Nouveau set - I have no contacts with Kuretake so I can’t get any information from them about the stock situation. Thanks again for your lovely message xxx
Hi Kathy I just checked with Blick about the Art Nouveau set I ordered and they said July 30! I could of sworn it was June 1. So looks like I'm in the long wait list with everyone else. 😭I'm so sad. But hopefully it will eventually get here. Wish that Kuretake would see that ALOT of us want that set! ❤
Hi Diane, I have shared My doodles for today on the FB Page. Just wanted to say Thanks again & FYI I order the exact kuratake color set from Blick Art the 1st of April they say it want be inbefore 7/31/23. Can You believe that?
Ah, yes, you are the second person who has said that they won’t be in until end July. There must have been a production delay in China or something. I’ll try to find out.
Diane, do you know if there are empty pans available for purchase (no particular brand) that would fit in the Kuretake sets? I would like to replace one in my set with buff titanium. I could squeeze out what I want in the pan and switch it out with a metallic. I have a separate palette of Kuretake metallics so nothing would be lost in doing this.

I love all the birds chirping in the background. Very pretty!
…. mucy Duck? Yay! Now I have a name for how I treat my pallets! Happy. Day! Loving this lesson. Diane, you are getting inspired to paint again!XOXO❤️❤️❤️
That’s great to hear Posie! Looking forward to seeing the Little Girl in Pink again soon!
As a beginner I love your projects like these. Waiting for my paint to dry now!
I rather enjoyed the minimalistic aspects of this painting, Diane. . Your soothing voice, the birds, all lend themselves to relaxation, Zen. :)
Thank you so much!
I love your vines!
I love watching you draw, the sound of your voice and the pencils on the paper, chirpy birds in the background 😊. Very grateful for you🌻
Thanks Zoe, very glad you are enjoying the videos!
Every word Zoe said and more! Diana, you light up our creative lives. Thank you for all your work and for sharing with us!
Zoe, so well put!
Perfect comment, Zoe. ❤

Thanks Mary, so glad you like the paints, they are such fun!
So peaceful and the colors are serene as well. Thank you.
Many thanks!

You said it all. Diane puts a smile on my face while only cleaning up her paints! I’m in a much better mood, now. 😊
I treat myself to a Few Paintings a week with you. You made this one so short and classy. Like having a Happy Friday cup of coffee.
Thanks so much Robin, so glad you are enjoying the videos!
Tips on materials saves me worry and money. This is a 100% channel, i am so thankful

So glad to hear that Deirdre! The pastel pencils are not widely used, sadly. They are great, aren’t they!
Thanks Diane!

Hi Lammilee! Thanks so much for your lovely comment, that really made my day!
Very nice love the inspiration.

This is so lovely I wish I could do it with gouache come, I could try it, but of course, it would turn out quite differently!
Awesome 👏👏💕
Thanks!

Thank you. I'm on it. Tomorrow I pick up my gelli plate from post. I wonder if it work with quash too.
I am pretty sure it will work with gouache, but the details are there to be explored!!

I think this company makes them and sells them www.printables.com/model/263375-watercolor-large-kuretake-gansai-tambi-pans Hope this helps.
