Diane, there are a handful of art channels that have literally changed my life and yours is one of them. I have endlessly watched and re-watched so many of your beautiful videos. Your teaching style is so inspirational. I love your no nonsense approach to finding the joy in your creative style. I have spent the last 4 1/2 years of my life pretty much cooped up in the house due to medical issues, only venturing out, especially during Covid, for medical care. I’ve always been a creative and mixed media or watercolors were always my go to. I’ve begun my new journey by re-investing in myself due to forced medical early retirement. I almost made it 30 years in my career, but I had to step away to get the care I needed. Enter KZitem. Something I had never really watched before, until some fluid art videos and then some watercolor videos… and then gouache…and then mixed media and collage videos filled my feed. I’ve never been more hungry to create in my life. Not for anybody except myself. I will never sell my art, though, I often do give my art away. But you kept my head and my heart in the game called life. I’ve now built myself an art room in my sons old bedroom, I have filled it with things that I love to experiment with and I am so thankful that I came across beautiful humans like yourself. Thank you, and thank you to Tamsin. ❤ Because just the sound of your voice starting a video makes my day….and then you begin! ❤❤❤ I’d also like to tell you I greatly appreciate your website, I am working hard on my drawing skills and hope to reclaim them. But your templates and links back to the specific videos are literally priceless. I do hope people pay you for those even though I know you make them free. I always try to contribute Because I get such value out of what you are doing. All I want for Christmas is Kuretake watercolors and some ceramic Meeden mixing trays!!! ❤❤😂😂

Hi Jan and thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. I have visited your own channel and see that you aren‘t posting videos on there any more, but I‘ve read your thoughts and agree so much with the sentiment about putting some beauty back into the universe - it‘s what we are here for and so important that we do it in our own individual way. I‘m sorry to hear about your health problems and so glad that you found us and are benefitting from what we do - we do it for you! Thanks also for mentioning the website and the sketch offerings. The idea of giving them away for free was Tamsin‘s brainchild (she has so many good ideas!) and it has been a blessing, because people are so generous when you offer them something for free! But even if they can‘t pay, it doesn‘t matter. I‘m glad they are being used to create beauty somewhere on this planet! Thanks again for your kind loving words and sending you prayers and very best wishes for improved health and strength xxxxx Diane xxxxx

@@DianeAntoneStudio what a lovely note, thank you so much for responding. I can’t tell you what that means to me. Yes, I have not been able to be active on my KZitem channel, just about the time I started getting it up and running and was doing better. I had a relapse of my cancer. I had to go back through another complete round of treatment, and that ended up leading to another surgery. To make a very, very, very long story short, I am on my way to remission and I am trying to create small, so I feel like I can handle that for now. I’m journaling, I’m making my own gel print paper, I’m collaging, I’m working on watercolors, and I’m just basically trying to enjoy what time that I can get in my art room as I can! I’ve had a setback and was diagnosed with Covid this past month, and I am now being treated for Covid pneumonia. I would love to be able to start filming in recording my art journey again. I probably would pull more away from acrylic pouring and go back to collage, mixed media, and watercolor. That’s really where my heart always has been. And I think that’s another reason why I enjoy your channel so much. I do post some of my art pieces on my Instagram and Facebook art page, they have the same name as my KZitem channel. They are certainly not fine art, but they are fine for my heart. I believe creativity is a part of all of our souls, and I love being able to express myself and my emotions through art and share it with others. Your teaching style is just beautiful, and I very much appreciate all of the hard work that you and Tamsin put into your presence in the art world. It is truly a blessing. Fun fact, I heard you mentioned your husband had returned from Egypt a while back. I spent several years there in my youth, my dad worked for the US Department of defense and was stationed at the US Embassy there and I went to high school at an American and international school called Cairo American College. It was located in Ma’adi Egypt, just off the corniche, about 5 miles from Cairo. I’ve been blessed to live all over the world, and have had many cultural, and art experiences that so many would never have. Therefore, I will just continue to remain thankful, grateful, and blessed for all of the life experiences that have influenced my own heart and art journies. Have a very beautiful day to you and Tamsin both ❤️❤️ xx Jan

Hi! I lost the long comment I was writing by hitting the wrong. tab so I going to try to say what I wanted to say in less words. First, Thank YOU! I learned so much when you said to paint a chicken start with a smile. That was a breakthrough for me. Now, I’m making roosters, hens, and chicks! I mean pages and pages of them. I gleaned from you how to draw them, side view left and right, from behind (I learned that stance from doing your tutorial on the Christmas card with sheep. What I would love is a tutorial showing us how to draw and paint chickens in all kinds of poses. I have so much fun painting with you. I’m working on a book filled with your sheep that my little grandniece love for her Christmas present. She will love it. THANK YOU!🐥🐔

Dine, about your injured chicken. Do you think she could be pulling out her feathers because she's stressed? Birds do that. This was a fun painting! Oh, and I got the rest of my Meeden watercolor paper today. I had ordered the 10x7 one of each. I got the cold pressed last week, and the rough and hot press came today ... by Amazon? I ordered on Meeden's website! Anyway, now I'm trying to decide what to paint to try each of them out.

I have been stuck in realism and structure for too long. I am hoping to relax and paint more loosely. Thank you for your inspiration. Sometimes I binge watch from the archives. I think I have some paint pens somewhere, I think I will seek them out and finally use them…. If they have not dried out.

Bonjour Diane j admire la dexterite que tu as de tracer les cercles au pinceau , c est tres reposant de te regarder orner toutes tes formes de petits motifs . Tu as raison pour les aquarelles kuretake , c ' est entre la gouache et l aquarelle , a Marseille j ' ai pu les acheter au geant des beaux arts mais c est cher ce magasin , par contre il y a tout ce qu il faut . Moi je suis nulle en internet et j ai pas confiance , il y a tellement d escroqueries ! J achete juste ce qu 'il me faut . Alors j ai trouve que sur les couleurs metallises c est difficile de dessiner dessus avec les fineliners . En tout cas ton yoga c est juste ce que j avais besoin pour me changer les idees parce que entre le Covid qui revient et les punaises de lit en plus de l insecurite habituelle il y a des fois ou j ai plus l impression d etre en vie . Alors un grand merci pour ces moments paisibles et agreables que tu partages avec nous tous . A bientot bises
