    Diane I love love love this painting! It's so whimsical. I love the chicken, bunny, and cat at the base of the tree. Your choice of using all blues and greens in the tree trunk and all the birds was top notch. I love what that did for the overall painting. Oh but I can't forget for pure pleasure and FUN the beautiful gold pen!!! And lastly the fun of adding those pretty little blooms and gold leaves. Ahhh, just going back thru it piece by piece was exciting and has me ready to start sketching. Thank you so very much for the different directions you take us and all the ways you teach us to love and grow with our art. And also to have FUN!!!💕👍👣

      This is a favorite of mine. She had me at the chicken 🙏🏽 with this one.
      It’s always an easy calming mental health exercise just to listen and paint with her. Dianne’s calming voice is worth more than an hour with a therapist. I would love to find an art therapist like her. If only I lived in France…… 😊💖

    In addition to the countless things you teach us about watercolor painting, one of the qualities you have is helping us to not take ourselves, or our expectations for ourselves, too seriously. In my own personal experience while working with you, is that I have permission to lighten up and enjoy the trip! It changes the mindset and opens up the imagination. There is nothing better to help us. Your students from your past were lucky to have had you. I apologize for the diatribe, but I want you to remember how much you impact all of us, lucky enough to have found you! Thank you again…….now to get paper and do a tree with birds❤️..

    As is my way, I woke with the birds, long before my slumbering family, made a cup of coffee, and scrolled through my RUclips subscriptions. As soon as I saw your post I said practically out loud, “here’s how I want to start my day.” Always a joy to be carried along as you create, Diane. And the farm sounds in the background are a bonus. Thank you!

    This was a wonderful watch (and listen) last evening.............I really love the look of the tree trunk. You made me laugh with your commentary - not knowing where it's going to go! And I like just listening to you as you decide what to do. (And, of course, nature in the background!) I was familiar with the Celtic reference - my daughter painted one almost life size on a wall in the kitchen of her first house! This could also be adapted to be a family tree - with the number of birds coresponding to the number of family members.

      Exactly!! We have seven. Don't ask why!!! And the best one is the oldest. A cylinder Miele with a powerful motor, which has never had a day off work in its 20 year life.. The worst is the newest, an upright, battery-powered Bosch which we have had for 4 months and just had to buy a new head for. Go figure.

      @@DianeAntoneStudio Ha! We have 4 although only two work. We live 150 miles from anyone able to service them. I ruined my Miele canister when I ran it accidentally without a filter bag. Was never the same afterward, and very noisy. My new one is even louder, the attachments are worthless, the head too big, etc etc. It does have lots of suction, but I hate using it.We have two dogs and a country property, so I'm beginning to wonder why I even bother! A first world problem though, right?

There is a way to transfer on to a sheet on a block - you take your printout and with a soft lead pencil you scribble over the back of it until it resembles old-fashioined carbon paper. Then you put the printout on the paper you want to paint on and draw over the lines - Bob's your uncle! Glad you enjoyed the tree. Now I had better go and trace it for the website just in case anyone wants to print it out!

    The Tree of Life is in The Bible as well.
    Is there a way to 'make' a turquoise.

      Yes, and I managed to get the 12 branches correct! Turquoise I can’t use it you could make with pthalo blue adding possibly a bit of white and yellow and adjusting the balance until you get the color you want. Playtime!

      @@DianeAntoneStudio My first set of water colors is Royal & Langnickel. Their Cerulean blue is more like a turquoise. I compared it to a few others. I guess I have my turquoise after all.
