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....

Love your conversational style and enjoy hearing about your life and thoughts while watching your art explorations. One thing I really enjoying noticing is how much you practice. Each picture you do, you seem to have a stack of other images you also did. It just that gentle reminder that encourages us to play and explore.
I look forward to every one of your videos and paintings. Why? Because of your unique talent, funny personality and all the background noises of the farm animals, birds, cats, dogs, weather, and inane bantering. You are very entertaining and even though you don’t teach, I learn from you! Thanks for being so genuine.
I learn and get inspiration for her. She’s a joy 🤩
Thanks so much Lory, for your lovely kind comments. Much appreciated !
I’m glad you can’t see mine. It was a epic fail…..
@@cindykirby7673 lol. Cindy, you and I should have tried ours together because I feel the same way.
Agree to everything you wrote. My favs are arleebean mind of watercolour but Diane is my top top top fav. Talented, inspirational humorous with farmyard noises and general rambling which are always useful information!
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life - Picasso
I love that! Thanks for sharing! ❤
Diane, I absolutely love what you have done with the trees. It is also nice to know that this is a good way to practice making trees.
I love your paintings and I love listening to you chat about your life 💗
Thanks so much!
Diane, you really have the kind of voice a podcast would die for! I love your stories!!
I listen to YOU every night. I love listening to what you talk about, your voice , and beautiful accent. I’ve learned so much before I go to sleep, and wake up excited about painting! You’re so down to earth, and have a delightful sense of humor!
Wow, thank you for your kind words! So glad you enjoy listening to the videos and are learning and enjoying painting too!
I totally agree!
I love how you take the "worry" out of art!
Greetings from Canada.
You are an absolute delightful person! I love listening to you. I'm a beginner to watercolor painting and you make it fun and Zen! It's so relaxing. Something we need more of in this day and age..
Thank you so much! ❤
I love to watch your videos and think I might be able to try something similar to your whimsical trees. Your comments about your doctor and his hand holding were hilarious! Also, I was excited to hear you speak of watching Pam at The Paper Outpost, as I admire both of you so much!!
Your”ramblings” are lovely and delightful! Please don’t stop.
This maybe my favorite tutorials of yours. I have watched it more than once.
Looking so beautiful Diane!
I listen to Abide at night to fall asleep peacefully.
Thank you for a calming video and i am amazed by your creativity!
You’re thoughts about transparency in watercolours versus Kuratake opaque paints are so apt; I had the misfortune (?) to spend several residential watercolour holidays having transparent paint dinned into me. The tutor actually removed any opaque colours from the attendees. It honestly caused me so many doubts about carrying on. Listening to you is a complete breath of fresh air. Thank you so much!
That almost sounds like the residential course I went on! The one where the tutor was so awful I complained to the management and demanded a refund! That man should have been locked in a darkened room, not allowed to torture innocent women!
This is my second time doing this painting. it is very relaxing and of course I love listening to you about your life and your part of the world. thank you so much for all you do!
I listen to preaching when I go to bed….Sinclair Ferguson has the most beautiful Scottish accent has he most beautiful and calming voice! I love him! Also, I love listening to the psalms…..love and smiles…..
Wow, thank you!
Love you talking about French doctors/your day and life. You're funny/entertaining and I love your talent.
“The French Whisperer” RUclips channel is nice to listen and relax to. Very soothing.
Love your art, love your fun conversation!
I can't wait to give these adorable trees a try! ❤
This one was fun! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas, Diane. I love that they are learning tools as well. I am getting better control of my brush!
Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for commenting!
Absolutely priceless commentary, you do my heart the world of good. Unique and inspiring x
Wow, thank you!
Beginner painter here, so glad I found your videos! You are a delight to watch and listen to, thank you!
Warm welcome to the channel! So glad you found us and are enjoying them! Happy painting!
Same here. Now that I am retired would love to start learning to paint with you.
Your conversations have helped to lower my blood pressure which has been giving me fits lately. Thanks for that. Also I have become a great artist in my mind! I fall asleep to yout tutorials and I wake up to them.I will never go to France but I love hearing about France. Please don’t change.
Really?? I’m so glad about that. I have been having trouble with my own blood pressure. Perhaps I need to listen to myself more often !!!!! Don’t worry, I couldn’t change if I wanted to! Happy painting!
I had to pause the video to comment 😂😂. I am 12 minutes in and have laughed so much already! Don’t change Diane!! And the biggest laugh so far is the poppy missing a stem and your voice as you recounted it 😂😂😂
Thanks Sharon, I’m glad you enjoyed my reminisces! That chap who said that might have had a very detrimental effect on me had I been an overly sensitive soul, but he did make me laugh!! So grateful for all your comments!
HAHA! You are the only one who I can listen to and look up to see where you're at in the project occasionally. You're one of a kind. ;-)
Thanks so much Vicki! So glad you enjoy the videos and all their rambles!
Definitely a “must try.” Lovely.
Down to sleep audiobooks works for me. I love the wind in the willows 😊
“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life" Pablo Picasso Thank you for leading me to that quote this morning.
You are so welcome!
At the ripe old age of 46, I’ve just decided to try watercolour and am so glad I discovered you. Love watching you paint while listening to your charming stories. Thank you!
That’s fantastic Susan, welcome to the wonderful world of watercolor! We’re all here for you!
Tx Diane, a lovely idea and tutorial.....love your honest ramblings too! My husband's name is Forrest....and he always says...like Gump! So many have seen and love the movie!
Someone else, besides you that I enjoy listening too.....she is an artist but in her videos she doesn't teach art so much...but mainly calmly rambles....shares her heart like you......I find her very refreshing.
Her RUclips channel is....The Unexpected Gypsy.
Thanks again for your sharing and thanks to Tamsin too for all she does.
Hi Julienne, thanks so much for your lovely comments! I do love the name Forrest! If I ever have another dog I plan to call him Forrest! I have seen the Unexpected Gypsy and thanks for reminding me of her, I’ll go check her out again!
Love your chatter. I too despise the cold. It makes me miserable. I’m 70 this past June and the older I get the more my body rebels against the low temperatures. I’ve always disliked cold but more now for certain. BUT, I love your videos. They make me smile and feel better any cold day.
We’ve had the wettest and most depressing winter here in France that I can ever remember. Looking forward to the summer as never before!
Moonlight Cottage ASMR is the best to fall asleep to!
Ah that’s an interesting channel! Thanks for the suggestions x
Please never stop talking about life in between the art! I love getting to know you through the snippets of conversation as you paint! Your are good therapy in both ways!
Thanks so much Patricia, really appreciate your kind words!
You're asking for someone to listen to. Well, for me, that's you!. I love to hear your commentary on life and the world as it is. I'm in America, but I feel like we could be great friends. Lol. Thanks again for another fun and relaxing tutorial. Cheers!
Thanks so much, and yes, I‘m sure we would be great friends! Sometimes I wish I weren‘t here, but there instead! Oh well! Thanks again and happy painting!
Like your rambling! 69 isn't that old...a friend & I were chatting about our "what now??!" in the aging process. We think we are going to croak over every oddity. Lol!!
Yes, isn’t that true! We’ve got at least another three decades to fight our way through!
So impressive how you are moving the camera. I love seeing the metalic gold!
I like what you have to say. I love the ups and downs.
I sometimes listen to a podcast called "Nothing Much Happens". They are basically adult bedtime stories. I think you might enjoy them. :)
Thank you Diane. I love listening to you. Your voice reminds me of my daughters mother in law. We are Canadian, but my daughter married a Manx.
Spring is starting to happen here, thank goodness. Happy Easter!
Hi Elizabeth and thanks for the tip. I’ll check it out! Glad you enjoy the videos! Happy Easter!
You do not talk too much! I have learned so much from you just talking and mentioning a tid bit here and there. Keep up all the talking!!! I am new to this and watching your channel has made me want to do more.
My son gave me that paint set for Christmas. I am so excited. I am just getting started with painting.
That is awesome! I’m sure you’ll love the paints, ideal for learning I think xx
It is not only that your videos are full of handy tips and hints, inspiration, and good art advice, but also such a pleasure to watch and listen to your calm and silky voice. You make things in a very relaxing manner, so it makes you feel you can easily do it yourself. Thank you for sharing your talent, skills, and time with us!
Wow, thank you Kali, that’s very sweet of you to say! I’m so glad you enjoy the videos and are finding you are learning something from them. I wish you much fun and pleasure from your art xxx
I learn so much from your tutorials but I also enjoy your chit chat. Please don't ever stop! It's so pleasant and I love your sense of humor!
Thank you so much! I’ll do my best to keep finding inconsequential to yak about!
First, thank you for the tutorial, it was fun. And I enjoy your chatting and your humor.
I live in Maine (east coast of USA) and thought I’d let you know that since the pandemic we have seen a very different product supply situation than we are used to. There were times when large grocery stores had no toilet paper, until a fellow starting up a new paper mill decided to manufacture toilet paper to help us out. It often felt like what I imagine life to be like in Russia - waiting in lines to buy toilet paper was just so weird. The pandemic has given us quite a reveal of greed and hoarding, theft of ppp stimulus money, and the fragility of our supply line. For a very long time most of us had no US source for face masks, so we made our own. Businesses such as appliance retailers, and car dealerships are beginning to get more product. I’ve been waiting almost three years to buy a new stove/oven unit. A friend had to wait about six months for a car. For about three years the greater area car dealership lots have been virtually empty. It is getting better, but it seems like we’ll never get back to “normal”. Now that product is becoming more available the prices make it unaffordable for many of us 98 percenters. I can’t speak for other parts of the US but I doubt it was very different. Amazon was slated to layoff about 10,000 workers recently, so its delivery might still be a bit compromised. And all those employees have to find new jobs.
Also, thanks for mentioning the Japanese brushes. I’m going to look into them, possibly buy a few. I don’t mind waiting, in fact, having to wait can make the purchase more exciting.
Wow, that’s very interesting. Strange things have been happening here these last three years too, complicated also by Brexit, which has made our links between France and England much weaker. Prices have gone up a lot and Amazon.fr has some extraordinary prices - thousands of euros for things that ought to cost a few euros - makes me think there is cocaine in the package! Glad you are interested in the Drawell brushes. They are really good!
I'm amazed at how intrequit this little painting became. It's just lovely.
Thanks!
I love your chatter! I was feeling so lonely and hearing you chatter made me feel better for some reason :)
This is fabulous Dianne, thanks for the wonderful inspiration and the best rambling ever!
You are so welcome! So glad you enjoyed it!
I cannot get enough of you. Thanks so much! My painting has improved tremendously. Love your tutorials but also your sense of humor.
You are so welcome!
As a listening suggestion, I find Atomic Shrimp very comfortable and pleasant to listen to here on RUclips, he does quite a variety of different things and often does nature walks or gardening and talks about the scenery and plants and creatures and is pleasantly knowledgeable and friendly and mild mannered and is very calming on the blood pressure
I find you just as comfortable and calming and interesting and real to listen to as well, you could paint and talk about anything you pleased and I'll be quite happy
Thanks so much for that comment, your kind words and the recommendation of Mr Shrimp! I’ve checked out his channel and subscribed. Nice to listen to indeed! Thanks again!
Love it! I painted along with you!
The Frugal Crafter (Lindsay Weirich) does a weekly Sat Chat on her channel on Saturdays. She talks about her week, shows some of her projects and chats about her family. It’s nice. I like to listen to her while I am puttering around the house doing chores.
I live listening to Lindsey's chats. 😊 Her tutorials are also great.
I do listen to her quite often, when I’m feeling strong!
I think this is very interesting and I am enjoying what you say so thankyou.
You are so welcome Dorothy!
At night, I usually tune into a RUclips of someone I like and is soft.spoken. I usually fall asleep before it is done. If I like the part I saw, I usually watch the whole video the next day.
I adore your dry British humor 🫠
Thank you! I don’t know what to say!!!!!!!
I love listening to you!!
I have been under the weather with a migraine these last few days and your voice is so soothing….better than music which is what I tend to listen to. I have learned so much from you! You have inspired me…I have even thought of moving to France 😍
The rooster crowing to be heard by everyone, and the pitter patter of your dogs feet as he scurries across the studio floor. You have my dream studio!!
Don’t ever let anyone tell you you are doing it wrong because they will be wrong!!
Thanks so much for your kind words! I’m sure france would be very happy to welcome you over here! Thank you for your support, and I hope the migraine has gone by now!❤️
Hi Diane, I have recently found your site and am really enjoying trying to recreate some of the paintings and doodles you share with us all. As I sit and listen to you I feel like I am sitting with a friend having a chat. I enjoyed learning about the brush pen, which I am having fun creating with. Yesterday, I followed you to paint the picture of unusual trees, relatively simple but so affective. I am not a natural artist and need to follow others ideas and your tutorials inspire me. Thank you. Keep up the your good work of inspiring me 👍and I look forward to following another tutorial very soon x
Hi Carol and thanks so much for your lovely comments. I’m so glad you are finding the tutorials helpful. Believe me, we all need to look at other people’s work in order to create our own, so don’t feel you aren’t a natural artist! I’m not either, I just have been working at it for longer perhaps! Have fun, that’s the main thing, and please don’t hesitate to sell or give away anything you create from a tutorial of mine. Copyright free!!
“We could call this a de-constructed sky.” Lol Yes, let’s do! I love how whimsical these trees are and am now doing them for a journal cover page. Have a lovely weekend, Diane. 69 is a great age but just wait until you are a septuagenarian like me! I’m living my best life in spite of the trials that come to visit. Love from coastal North Carolina.
Wonderful! So glad you’ve picked up that idea for your journal. Oh yes, can’t wait to hit the next big O!!!!
Absolutely love this thank you. Love your chat too. Hope this relaxed you!
Yes, painting always does although sometimes I’m more than halfway through the painting before I remember I’m not carrying out a life-saving operation!
I love you ‘inane ramblings’. Don’t ever stop 😊
The garden of trees are lovely. Such a variety of leaf/branch structure. All art builds on past art, doodle, zentangle, mark making, neurographic, so many names for variations of the same themes. Love how you mix them in your own unique way. Definitely working on trees today. The peaceful colors go well with the lacey branches and muted circles and lines of the deconstructed scene. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind comments!!
This is a very cool idea! Deconstruction in production! I always wanted things to look exactly like I saw them. Struggle with imaginative concepts, as to feeling they are "good." This is so clever and fun. Hearing you is like hearing a very dear friend!. I am glad your hand will be fine.
Yes just like a very dear friend!
Thanks so much Janice, I’m so glad you enjoyed that! I know what you mean, it’s a trap we all fall into. Thanks for your caring about my hand, it’s already looking a lot more normal!
I am officially hooked on your videos; feverishly going through them! Very much enjoy listening to you and appreciate your simple, doable, beautiful art!
Welcome aboard! So glad you are addicted!
So talented. Love the videos and the talking. ❤
I love your “inane ramblings” and actually learn more than you might imagine!
Love your videos, your tutorials are so easy to follow and I enjoy at times just watching and listening to your voice, it’s very calming and enjoyable!! I rarely even watch tv anymore as folks like you are so much more real, and you share positivity, and I can also join you if I want! Bless you for sharing!!
Thank you so much! Appreciate your support and your comments!
I love how each tree is different and unique!!
I have many channels that I put on and fall asleep to. I set the timer on my TV and depending on the RUclipsrs voice I asleep in 5-15 minutes 😴. The key is choose one that you have already watched.
That’s a very good point! You are completely right, otherwise I try to listen too hard!
I am only 8 minutes into the video and I had to stop and comment. I feel I have so much in common , I am 68, hubs has birthday Tuesday, get surprised every time I look at my hands, love dogs and cats, would adopt everything if able, love the country and love watching your videos! I only wish I had your talent and creative eye. Thank you for being you and sharing y our talent!
Hi Sally and thanks so much for your lovely comments! We do indeed have a lot in common! Where do you live and have you any pets?
@@DianeAntoneStudio Thank you for responding Diane. I live in the middle of the USA in Missouri. Right now we have two dogs, when we lived in rural Colorado we had four cats and three dogs. We always adopt rescue animals. If my husband didn’t have allergies and other health issues we would have a house full!
Pam on the Paper Outpost is one of my favorite RUclipsrs!
Same!!
This is actually the first video I sat down and painted 🎨 with and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I think someone like you would be perfect to listen to- no politics, "woke-ness" 😅, just soft spoken funny and entertaining.
And you're very blessed your husband woke up with the babies. I too cannot function on broken sleep and had pretty bad PTSD after each baby I had. The 5th I developed anxiety and panic attacks. The lack of sleep of course doesn't help.
I envy people that can sleep on 5-6 hours...I usually need 8-10.
Thank you! 😊
Thanks so much Chelsea for your kind words and interesting comments. Congratulations on having such a large family! I stopped at two! So glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you will subscribe to the channel and enjoy many more!!
@@DianeAntoneStudio definitely subscribing 😁
Have so enjoyed this video - still sitting bed lol ! Done watercolour on & off for years & really enjoy it , mostly do 'whimsy ' as my daughter calls it ! I struggle to do a looser style but watching your videos is a great help - I'll keep practicing with your help so thank you 😊 so much! I love your commentary too !
Thanks so much Ruth and I’m glad you got an extra hour in bed with me!! LOL!
You know, I Agree! I’m getting old too and was just talking (dreaming actually) about moving to Hawaii!! The air there is so soft and warm! Oh let’s go!! It’s supposed to be a HIGH of 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-6 Celsius) here in Colorado tomorrow! We’re not even in the mountains! Yikes! The winters here used to be comparatively mild but now… crazy for us older people!! My heating bill is in shock! Oh well, we’ll just paint and play the day away!💕
Hi Donna! Yes, we’ve had one of the coldest winters I can remember here. Luckily, we do have the advantage of being remote from all the troubles of Europe at the moment - but Hawaii sounds like a very good idea! I’m surprised it’s not completely full up by now!
Yes this one worked a treat..think I’ll make it into a note card. Love doodling. makes a huge difference. Great way to spend time after work.thank you😊
Yes, since I started doing this doodle-embellishment thingy I have rescued many paintings from oblivion!
I love when you ramble. Please never change. I’m so glad that you are okay I can imagine how scary that was. Thank goodness for good doctors. Please tell your husband happy birthday from all the way over here in my tiny part of the world
Thank you so much Amanda I will tell him!
I love your ramblings Diane. Watching your videos is like having a neighbor come over for tea.
I think the paper makes all the difference. It will determine how much water you can use. If you use less water say for guoche, you can a paper with more pulp. Cotton paper holds much more water for watercolors. It doesn't dry as fast.
I have out of desperation, washed out a 'bad' painting. I figured its 100% cotton, I should be able to rinse it out very carefully. It worked.
I have also been looking into making my own cotton paper.
I love listening to you and your stories. This one made me laugh a few times. Thanks for that and the fun painting!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
First time I have come to your channel. I love this work. I have just started to do watercolor. I too am a Brit living in france. I am south of the loire so a bit warmer down here ! Have lived here for 20 years. I live with my mother and my daughter of 13 years. I am very happy to have found your channel. I like that it is not purist and not too strict and intimidating ! I would love to paint trees and flowers and birds I see everyday xx
Welcome to our channel, so glad you found us! Lucky you to be further south, although I expect you had very hot weather last summer - we certainly did, couldn’t believe how dry it was for so many weeks! In Brittany!!!! Glad you are enjoying the videos, I do try to be as easy going as possible so it’s good to hear your feedback. Happy painting and welcome again!
@@DianeAntoneStudio thank you for your kind reply. I am now happily subscribed and binge watching lol
I understand! I don’t want to be cold anymore either!
Diane, I love this! It's so unique and each tree adorned so creatively. I love them all, and love that you added in the birds. This painting can work for so many things just by changing up the themes. You've inspired me to create one for all the seasons. They would look so pretty sitting on the fireplace mantel or framed on the wall. I love hearing your stories, many are so relatable, like the husband snore :) As far as a recommendation on a calming RUclips channel to relax and unwind with, you're the star and best story teller I know. Maybe just pop on one of your channels and drift off to a relaxing sleep. I promise, you'll be even more inspired :)
Hi Carolyn and thanks for your as always lovely comments! Great idea to use the design for all the seasons. Just changing the colors and increasing the leaves and adding floral elements would make a big difference, and maybe I’ll take that on and revisit it in Spring, Summer and Winter! I absolutely never listen to my own videos, and I’m often surprised when people tell me what I’ve said, as the whole thing is done completely off the cuff (as you can no doubt tell!) and almost like in a hypnotic state! You’re probably right, it would almost certainly put me to sleep to listen to myself!
Sitting here in America, remembering how we used wait eagerly “6-8 weeks” for orders to arrive! Now, a two week wait from Japan sounds insane! The weather is 1 degree and feels like -14. Isn’t that funny that we now measure “feels like”????
I so love listening to you and love your whimsical art! You voice is so incredibly soothing.
Thanks so much ❤️
Very relaxing and pretty painting. Please don't stop rambling. I love hearing your thoughts as you go.
Thank you so much 😀
I enjoy listening to ceeceecreations
I love your hands! They show a life lived and they’re beautiful! They’re working hands that have lots of experience. Be proud of your hands and enjoy that doctor while you can😁
Thank you so much! I will do my best to follow your perfect advice!!!!!!
Yes, I love your rambling Diane, it's very soothing, and you come out with little gems sometimes. Perhaps you could do a little ramble channel. I love listening to you, love your whimsical paintings too. 😊 I like Paul Clark too, (he lives in my town), and unexpected gypsy, lots of talent out there. I love you tube, plenty of inspiration. Thank you Diane 🙂🦋
Now I’m curious - is that Lewes?
Lovely Diane you have inspired me
Absolute perfection is not necessary which I beat myself up about
Thanksx
Thank you for such a soothing tutorial. You make painting look so easy.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 😀
I absolutely love your artwork!! ❤
Thank you so much 😀
Love rambling❤ thanks to u i bought some painting materials for the first time in 20 years. You have awakened the demon. Must try to get these brushes.
i love this sweet painting. I just ordered the gold and silver paints. ❤ thank you!
Wonderful!
Oh Gosh Diane.I listen to you! I love your voice and chatter and you are so interesting! And you're funny and very wise. ;-)
I’m so glad I found you.
Hi Kimmo and welcome to the channel! I’m so glad you found us too!
Diane! Thanks so much for writing back. I don't know how in the world you find time. Thank you so much again for this video! I tried it today and it really gave my ceativity a giant boost. I am so happy with what I came up with and now I'm really excited about all the other fun ideas I have!!! You are so imaginative , creative and entertaining!!! SO GLAD I FOUND YOU!
You’re so welcome Sherry, and that’s what I’m here for, so glad you are enjoying the channel and the painting - it’s just such a relief when you have a brush in your hand !!
I love this demonstration! Drawing trees is one of my favorite things and this helped to expand my ideas so thank you 💕
Starting 100 days of painting with these whimsical trees. I love your channel. Mx
Hi, this can’t be only coincidence, as I was just taking a Sunday nap, woke up and heard you asking about what I like to listen to at night…if it’s not ambient music, I like a particular 8-hour guided sleep meditation by Jason Stephenson. And have discovered your voice is also nice to play while sleeping.
Love the images you’re painting ✨🧚🏻💛
Wonderful! I listen to Jason sometimes too!
Diane-you are amazing. I absolutely love watching your videos. Learning so much!! Thank you and keep painting!!
I thoroughly enjoyed doing this painting Diane after watching your most recent painting. I don’t know if it’s the pale pastel colours but I found this so unwinding and calming. I even found the doodling relaxing which for me is unusual as I normally struggle with thinking of a pattern to doodle. I found this totally inspiring Thankyou Diane beautiful art as always xx 🥰🏴
This is quite nice. I am inspired to it create one of my own. I was born and lived up North most of my life. When I retired, I moved to Florida. Every day I wake up to beautiful weather. It has been a number of years and don't miss the bitter cold weather at all. As it turned out, my move was in early fall, so my body had time to acclimate to the warmer weather by to time the summer came around. Although it does take 2 to 3 years to fully acclimate to the climate. The only thing I do miss is watching the leaves turn in the fall. Every fall I paint leaves.
Hi Wilma! Florida is a great place to retire to. How sensible to choose! I have had a few holidays there and enjoyed it very much. Thanks so much for your kind words xxx
I soo enjoyed your comments and narrative today-- was so interesting and educational- hearing what was happening in your life. It fascinates me to learn vicariously about others' life experiences. Today your narrative was quite a bonus of getting to know you too. A rich life of experiences, and your perspective was so relaxed and casual. Enjoyed 'getting to know' one of my favorite role model artists!
Today's tree exercise was another helpful instruction in creative spontaneity. Very helpful for the new and not-very confident water color artist. I've learned so much from your very easy going approach to painting, and your wealth of practical knowledge and experience.
Thanks for sharing your talents, and your wonderful insightful philosophy.
And your dry and sly sense of humor is often a highlight. " A brush without a point is pointless". Haha! 😉
Thanks so much Chris, I just re listened to that one myself and had no idea I’d been rambling so much! I go into a kind of trance when I’m painting sometimes! Thanks again xxx
Thank you Diane! Love these trees....and Lol Rockford Files!
Glad you like them!
