Dear Diane, thanks for showing. These are lovely vibrant colours. I love all your videos Diane and always watch them through to the end. I find your doodles very relaxing and yes the cockerels are loud but I love that and would rather listen to your animals and indeed yourself any day of the week than listen to some horrible background music 😝 ❤️
Hi Diane, really enjoyed this video, as always. It’s always like wrapping a cosy blanket around me to return to your channel. I am inspired to keep on at it!
By the way, Diane, I think you are magnificent and your painting techniques are too! Your voice is so calming to me, and you are so encouraging and inspire me to want to paint more and more! Thank you for sharing your splendid talents with us here on your channel! You are one of a kind!
I love hearing the song birds, rain, and even the rooster crowing in the background, Diane! Also love hearing your thoughts as you paint. Oh yes, and I love watching your painting process! Ha! I'm not a painter, myself. But I'm very tempted to branch out. I think of myself as a painter with wool (beginner) as I "paint" (wet and dry felting) with wool roving.
Oh, you’re a fibre artist - you’d find a lot of similarities and inspiration in the Kuretake paints I think. I used to create pictures using wool fleece which I dyed naturally with leaves and flowers - many years ago and I don’t do it now but it certainly was fun!
@@DianeAntoneStudio yes, a fibre artist is accurate! And you're right that there is overlap between felting and painting. In fact, I was taught (via RUclips) by a very accomplished painter turned fibre artist who brings much of her background as a painter into her fibre art. I love that you're familiar with it and how wonderful that you grow your own wool and spin and knit as well. I recall you mentioning knitting socks. I also knit and crochet. I do enjoy your channel so much! Thank you for sharing yourself with us.
I love watching this video of a soothing meditation on color and form. I noticed your sleeve has a beautiful leaf pattern also! Inspiration everywhere!
I enjoyed this very much. I miss the sounds of my roos. I'm within city limits now, so love hearing yours. The paint is really gorgeous. Thank you for the lovely ideas and the video.
Don't worry Diane, I like your rooster. Out in the country sound, natural. Those gold accents are beautiful with those greens. I just started with collecting Michael harding paints and I'm loving them. Glad you like them too. Karen from Canada ☺☺💖💖
Diane, Michael Harding was smart sending you this gift, knowing you'd be the perfect teacher. This is a great tutorial on showing off these paint colors. I appreciate that you included layering. The paints are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing Diane.
This is very therapeutic, just watching. The paints are lovely. Thanks, Diane, for making videos for us. Life is stressful and demanding right now. The videos help me relax and keep the creative spark alive when other things steal my joy.
I've watched the entire video because of how calming it is to watch you paint. Thanks for the reminder to relax and enjoy just painting and mark-making 😊
Loving the roosters in the background. Reminds me of my grandparents home, they had chickens and a rooster.❤ Now I live in a flat...😅missing the countryside
So helpful to see them being used. So many people just swatch and then give a ‘review’ which tells one nothing useful. Letting us watch you paint was far more useful.
They looked like wet pebbles, then, when they were first embellished, slices of exotic fruits. Beautiful paints, so enjoyable watching you work, and love your cockerel too 😁 . I watched it to the end. thank you
@@DianeAntoneStudio My channel is small, but I certainly understand struggles with watch time and the YT algorithm. If I have to pause, I always come back and watch to the end. I give likes at the beginning of each video and leave comments when I can. I found your channel a couple of months ago and have been binge watching your videos. I love using pen over watercolor and really enjoy your free style of painting. I bought kuritake paints through your channel link and they just came yesterday. I'm going out of town but can't wait to try them when I get back!
I made it all the way through your video. I like Mark making sometimes. In fact I did my own. I like watching you too. Thank you for showing what the Michael Harding's paints look like. JK FLORIDA USA 🇺🇸
Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing and I’m so glad you got to the end of the video!! Mark making is something I wish I’d started with many years ago, but better late than never !!
I am just always amazed at the creativity you share. It must be just lovely to have all those beautiful paints sent to you. I would never stop painting.
I always look forward to your videos. You are inspiring to me and I love your philosophy to see things through until they are finished, I remember this when I think my painting isn’t worth finishing. It’s surprising how things turn out. ❤
I made it till the end 🎉, great color combination. I wish more artists would use Michael Harding. I especially like the colors that you chose. I have 4 basic colors but I could use a few more like yours ❤. Adore your rooster 😂
If you haven’t got it I suggest Aqua Green, Benzimidazolone Orange and Benzimidazolone Yellow as unusual and powerful additions to your palette! (Oh, and then all the rest… lol !)
Tricked me. Watched your Michael Harding paint video and I thought you were painting the lovely flower painting. I followed along making ovals and circles and about halfway through I thought how is this going to turn into flowers. Surprise it did not but it was fun anyway. It sometimes helps to pay attention to what you are saying!
Love these colors and your relaxed method of getting to know how they work. I’ve been gone for awhile and it’s so good to be back and hear your calming voice. And that glorious cockerel!!!!
Very exciting new paints, and relaxing doodles. Hi, to the boys in your garden😊. My hens are a rowdy lot, especially when the decide they want something. Finding out what that is could be a lifetimes work 😂😂
That's beautiful! It should be on material, wrapping paper, etc. It would look cool on a tote back. Let Michael Harding be shocked. If he's any kind of artist, wouldn't he believe anything and everything counts? I looked up those sets (because you are the only one really, that influences me), and my budget said: 'Are you kidding me'? I love that Aqua Green and I see it's on sale at Blicks. My husband said: '2 tubes'. He also said that I need to be careful of the budget or I wouldn't get to play with you anymore! LOL. I kid, I kid....we don't have any such issues. I looked at all the colors Blick had for MH. Was there a color that you particularly like that you don't have but would like? I own 3 student grade paint sets: the Meeden 24 tube, because of you, Daniel Smith student and Gencraft, student. A random tube of Buff Titanium (yes, your fault) and one of quinacridone magenta because of Ellen Crimi Trent when I 1st started (influenced only by that unheard of, to me, word) and both Gansai Tambi sets, because of you, so of course missing lots of cool colors. Well, I'm off to practice more doodles. Thanks much for sharing another lovely piece of your artwork!
Hi Kathy and thanks for the morning giggle! I’m so impressed with these paints (and how they are made) that I think I’m going to move to them as my main palette, so I’ll probably be purchasing the « missing colors » which I often use such as Van Dyke Brown and Ultramarine (which make a lovely variety of greys and greens when mixed with basic greens… I’ll be demoing that when I do a landscape using them next week. My selection so far is light on blues, so I’d probably also invest in Cobalt and Cerulean and maybe Indanthrone or Indigo. So much to choose from !!! Happy hunting x
Ooh these paints look luscious! When I saw another artist try them, I added them to my Blick wish list and now you have just made me want them even more. They are not cheap though! This painting looks fun and is just my style. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Deb, the paints aren’t cheap, that’s for sure, but they are very powerful and will go a long way! I tried out the Orange Benzimidazolone and was very pleased with the way it worked on the Baltimore Oriole’s breast!
@@DianeAntoneStudio I was on the Blick web site and I saw Michael Harding's "Italian Green Umber." I think it looks amazing and would be very helpful for leaves and plants. I can hardly wait to place an order.
Bonjour Diane , le chant du coq t as bien inspiree ! J aime bien ce style , ca ressemble un peu a ce que j aime faire , mais moi je rempli plus avec des motifs . Tes nouvelles couleurs sont splendides surtout le turquoise . Passe une bonne journee , bises mon amie , a bientot .
Bonjour Françoise, ça fait du bien de te lire si tôt ce matin ! Tu as raison, ces couleurs sont vraiment époustouflantes, notamment Aqua Vert qui fait des mélanges surprenants ! Si je ne pouvais acheter qu’un seul tube, ce serait mon premier choix. Je te souhaite également une bonne journée, des bisous et à bientôt !
That’s how I read names and places in fantasy books 😂. When I read Game of Thrones, I couldn’t figure out how to say Dani’s full name, Daenerys Targaryen. Dae nee rus Tar gar yen. Then it was Ddddzzzzsss Tar. Then I watched the show after I gave up reading the book after a few chapters. Ohhhh that’s how you say it 😂😭🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️. Thank goodness they called her Dani at times
Thank you for your videos! I really like them, but could you maybe mention the Pigments in the colors. The color names are so different from brand to brand that they do not give much information.
So glad you like the videos! Yes, I could mention the pigment used in each colour, and maybe I’ll do that in the next video. Meanwhile if you’re curious, you can go to Michael Harding’s website and find all the information beautifully laid out. Here’s a sample page, with the pigment number at the top and swatches below for Cadmium Orange - all their colours are similarly described on their site. Hope this helps. www.michaelharding.co.uk/materials/w405-cadmium-orange/
One of the many, many reasons I love your channel is the sounds of your outdoors.
Glad you like it! We feel a bit over endowed with roosters at the moment! Thanks so much for commenting!
Love this 😍 and that rooster 😂 he's got a lot to say for himself 😅. So relaxing watching you paint Diane. Thank you x
Right? The roosters!😄

Excited to see this!
Very calming and love hearing Gabe in the background ❤
Yes, he’s fine as long as he stays in the background!

You are so welcome! I know the feeling, there’s always something to poison the day :( but we keep on plugging away!
Thankyou for this relaxing video review demonstration. And I love hearing the animals in the background doing what they naturally do.
You are so welcome!
Gorgeous colours! Now I see why they’re so popular!
Yes, they are lovely to work with.
I've watched the entire video because of how calming it is to watch you paint. Thanks for the reminder to relax and enjoy just painting and mark-making 😊
My pleasure 😊 we all need more of that!
Love the Benji colours!!! ❤❤❤
Yes, they are show-stoppers!
This is so wonderful, I love this ☺☺
Thank you so much!
Love the colours! And it always amazes me to watch the process of ‘blobs of colour’ morph into a work of art. Again I thank you. Susan
My pleasure Susan and so glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Loving the roosters in the background. Reminds me of my grandparents home, they had chickens and a rooster.❤ Now I live in a flat...😅missing the countryside
Thanks so much, can I send you one of ours LOL!

Always love your work Diane and your rooster!
Really inspiring, thank you!
You are so welcome!
Lovely, Diane!! The colors are gorgeous and your line work is intriguing, interesting and beautiful!😍 ❤️
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it!
WoW, Very Beautiful Art with Colorsfull, Thanks. 🙏🏼🙏🏼👏👏🌹🌹
Thank you for the encouragement 💕
You are so welcome Joan, thank you so much for enjoying it!
I would go with ‘Benzo Orange’, or ‘Quinn Purple’ to make my life easier; but ‘Benji Orange’ is a riot!!! Thanks for the chuckles, Diane! 😅❤
I found out that the official abbreviation is Azo - so Azo Yellow. Makes sense!
@@DianeAntoneStudio Eureka!
How fun to try a new box of paints. The colors are gorgeous. I'm so glad you share your thoughts about different paints with us. I'm learning a lot!
You are so welcome! I was really lucky to receive these paints from Michael Harding direct. They are worth the investment!
Thanks you so much for this, Diane! Very inspirational ❤
You are so welcome! So glad you enjoyed it!
They looked like wet pebbles, then, when they were first embellished, slices of exotic fruits. Beautiful paints, so enjoyable watching you work, and love your cockerel too 😁 . I watched it to the end. thank you
Speaking of a silk scarf, this painting would make a lovely silk scarf.
That’s a great idea!
Like me - I give up on the pronunciations. 😅 Just paint and be happy... 🍀❣
So true!
I made it to the end just as I do on all of your videos.❤
Thanks so much, I so appreciate that, so very helpful!!

Loved watching this and seeing it develop from blobs of color to beautiful motif! ….and I loved watching it until the end! ❤️❤️

Many thanks Patricia!
