Thank you for mentioning hour long you have been painting roses. I was watching and thinking about how effortless you made it look. I am always so critical of myself. I just started using watercolor less than a year ago. I blame my parents for always wanting perfect children and frequently reminding us that we were not as good as … well anyone

I try to remind myself always that there is more beauty in imperfection than in so-called perfection. I love the freedom of watercolor when its allowed to flow how it wants. Not beautiful in my eyes when it is tightly restricted into the idea of the painter.

Diane, it's so wonderful seeing absolutely beautiful YOU in your art studio. Thank you for sharing the new set of paints you received. All of my greatest artist tips, I have received from you. I love these Kuretake paints, and yes, they are life shattering! Although it's sometimes nice to stuff mushrooms, it's really nice to have the option for ready made :) Your painting is lovely. Lottie is beautiful and you can feel her spirit. My take on her gazing at your through the glass door...she doesn't care how sunny and warm the day may be, there is absolutely no better way than to spend the day sitting beside you!

Hello there! I ust received my Kuretake Art Nouveau set, after 2 months on backorder. But it was worth the wait. I enjoyed your demo - just lovely! By the way, in my set, they have a smallish swatch card on the underside of the box cover, with the color names shown and space for a small swatch. I can't wait to play with my new paint set on Boxing Day. We don't have Boxing Day in the U.S., but I celebrate it, notwithstanding ;) Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year! Carol in Boston PS - I gave up stuffing mushrooms years ago! They taste just as good if you halve them, put them in a baking dish, and bake them until the stuffing starts to brown and crisp. Also, I was a big Eurythmics fan, too. I saw her on TV recently, and she looks great!

Tell me about it! Here in Finistère (28) I am at least 2 hours from anything resembling an art store and it definitely wouldn’t be worth the drive. Not sure what I’d do without Amazon, and I also order from Jacksons in the UK and Le Geant have a massive range to order from their catalogue or online. Shopping in rural France is not quite the same as in the US, is it LOL

@@DianeAntoneStudio thank you for the tip about Le Geant, I have just created an account with them after seeing your post, lol. Although I do love living in the sticks here, I do so miss being able to peruse the art and craft shops, combing a shopping experience with a lunch out, hehe. We sometimes do go to Toulouse, which has lots of art shops and galleries, plus roadside cafés, which is such a treat, however it is a 4 hour drive there and back. Love your channel by the way 💕

Diane, I just ordered this set from Dick Blick in USA for $30! Amazon is charging $49.00 for the same set and there is only one seller, so no chance to compare prices!

Amazon prices are all over the place at the moment, very confusing.

You can feel the "Japanese" in them, and they have such a range. I don't love that I haven't found a proper palette to fit them instead of the box...

HAHAHA! After I searched for the paint and restarted the video, I heard that you came up with Annie Lennox's name! I love her voice, by the way! Also, by the way, both Amazon and the ebay seller both show a swatch card with names for the colors! Some are "normal" like alizarin crimson and potter's pink, but some are more "inventive," like saffron yellow and billiard green! I do have a question, Diane - I have some Canson XL watercolor paper that is 300 gram, 140 lb. - what would be the difference between this and the mixed media paper in the sketchbook? I must admit - I don't like the Canson I have and use it for testing colors or practicing strokes - I do love my Arches!

Hi Tracy, the difference is the amount of sizing I believe. The mixed media paper is strongly sized, so it supports a lot of abuse. I find it takes the watercolor very well. I don’t know which Canson you already have - they make so many different things - but their whole XL range is intended for students and includes sketch, drawing, watercolor and mixed media paper. Arches is too expensive (it’s made by Canson btw!) for everyday use. I’m moving away from expensive paper for my everyday painting. I can’t see any deterioration in my work because what I do is so quick and undemanding on the paper. I used to use Arches when I was doing larger, more complicated landscapes and florals. For hobby painting Canson (or Strathmore or any other inexpensive w/c paper) is going to be good enough for a lot of people. Especially in these belt-tightening days…

@@DianeAntoneStudio thank you for the information! I will check out the Canson paper you have (mine does NOT take abuse!), but when I first started painting last year, I tried several different papers and really loved the Arches. I started looking for "deals," like I always do because yes, it is way expensive at regular price. I lucked upon 2 sales online from Michael's last March and June - buy one/get one free. In March, my price per pad ended up being $14 and in June, the price per pad was $16.50. I work small - I cut each piece into 4 pieces and when I don't like what I've painted, I use the back! I still have 5 unopened pads! Michael's also has a rewards program, so when I make purchases, I eventually earn $5 vouchers (I buy a lot of yarn from them as well!). Anyway, your work speaks volumes for using less expensive paper, for sure!!🥰

Have a look in the green lid I think there is swatch plate on the inside of that 😊

Yes, there’s a chart of the colours glued to the inside of the box lid. But the bigger set had that, plus a separate piece of paper with the same thing printed on it, which is handier to use than the lid. Not a big deal, just that’s the way it is. Glad you like the paints!

Those colours look lovely. When I first started water colouring 4 years ago, I bought the original Gansai Tambi 24 colour set. I loved them and still use them now; but just to let you (and others) know - the link you’ve got here for Amazon UK , takes me to that original set, and not to the Art Nouveau collection. It appears to be out of stock everywhere in the UK sadly.
