Feeling Empty? Creative Well Dried Up? This Watercolor Painting Helped Me Find My Flow Again. Diane Antone Studio 2025-07-12 | Join me on Patreon patreon.com/dianeantonestudioTonight’s painting is all about lifting your spirits through color, creativity, and a bit of playful brushwork. We all have days when the blues sneak in — and picking up a paintbrush can be one of the gentlest ways to find our way back to calm, light, and joy. When inspiration is lacking, that’s when we turn to a painting like this one! I used my Kuretake watercolors for their luminous, expressive color, paired with Meeden’s 100% cotton watercolor paper, which handled the washes beautifully. Whether you're painting along or just watching, let me offer you a little inspiration if you’re needing it! I hope this little moment of color brings you a bit of peace and encouragement too. Also let me know in the comments how watercolor helps you reset your mood — and don’t forget, members and Patrons get access to bonus content!Download the sketch: dianeantone.com/product/dancing-squares-sketch(There are no recurring charges, just a one-off payment to set up the Pass. **Mid and Top Tier Patrons and Channel Members get this pass FREE - look for the coupon code when you join!**)The little bird tutorial I mentioned: youtu.be/0KGn2V_AfXcThe landscape I showed: youtu.be/W2nWLAztH5cThe swatching squares tutorial I showed: youtu.be/o7dU6sd9R7wMaterials:Kuretake Gansai Tambi 48 Color Set amzn.to/3zZX8KnSchmincke Aqua Bronze gold powder amzn.to/3Hvkdc4Molotow one4all acrylic TWIN marker (1.5mm and 4mm nibs) amzn.to/4b1FyIn Color Nature WhitePentel Hybrid Gel white pen amzn.to/4b77dpnUse coupon code DIANE15 for 15% off every Meeden orderMeeden Cold Press 10x7 Block go.meedenart.com/4gmRaHWMeeden Cold Press 12x9 block go.meedenart.com/4gvFT8c Meeden Cold Press 10x15 block go.meedenart.com/4fONIEE Meeden Hot Press 12x9 Block go.meedenart.com/46CD5BE Princeton Aqua Elite Synthetic Kolinsky Brush, Round, size 8 amzn.to/42P6whE. $11.83Princeton Aqua Elite Synthetic Kolinsky Brush, Round, size 12amzn.to/41bwFIG $17.29FINELINERS I USEEdding 1800 set amzn.to/4i0EmXVStaedtler Pigment Liner set of 6 amzn.to/4bom9Q7Winsor and Newton fineliners amzn.to/3MFkGL9Sakura Pigma Micron Fineliners amzn.to/3NMEg7sTombow Fudenosuke Brush Pens amzn.to/3QIcn2NChapters:00:00 Introduction00:16 My materials (and why my well ran dry today)03:24 Drawing the design with a masking pen07:48 Painting the rectangles24:24 Removing the masking fluid and tidying up the lines29:50 A look at a landscape I just painted for World Watercolor Month31:09 Embellishing with doodles in paint, pen and gold-------Get an overview of what we do here at Diane Antone Studio:https://linktr.ee/dianeantonestudioJoin my FREE Studio Insiders' Newsletter for weekly coupons, freebies, offers, inspiration, news and more: dianeantone.com/join-our-newsletterJoin my YouTube Membership: youtube.com/dianeantonestudio/joinJoin my Patreon: patreon.com/dianeantonestudioBecome a Studio Insider for 10 FREE one-click sketch downloads per month: dianeantone.com/product/studio-insiders-pass-----SUPPLIESBrowse all of my recommended supplies on my Amazon Storefronts:USA - amazon.com/shop/dianeantonestudioCanada - amazon.ca/shop/dianeantonestudioUK - amazon.co.uk/shop/dianeantonestudioAbout my brushesI have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan.

I Created a Softer Vintage Palette with JUST ONE Color - Try it and be amazed! Diane Antone Studio 2025-07-08 | Join me on Patreon patreon.com/dianeantonestudioIn tonight’s video, we’re exploring the gentle art of mixing pastel shades using Buff Titanium as our secret ingredient. Rather than reaching for white, we’re using this soft, natural pigment to subtly lighten bold colors without losing their richness or character. You'll see how Buff Titanium transforms Quin Rose, Cobalt Blue, and Benzimidazolone Yellow into beautiful, harmonious pastels with depth and personality. It’s a simple but powerful technique for creating a softer, vintage-inspired palette that feels cohesive and expressive. Perfect for florals, skies, or any scene where you want light to glow gently from the page.Materials:Daniel Smith Buff Titanium amzn.to/4eDXDxVWinsor & Newton Titanium White amzn.to/3Tu67hiWinsor & Newton Raw Umber amzn.to/46vNJw0Pthalo Blue amzn.to/409sJr8Ultramarine Blue amzn.to/4nEBHGYBenzimidazolone Yellow amzn.to/3TOHFrfCadmium Yellow amzn.to/4eJYo8KQuin Rose amzn.to/404aCTtQuin Violet/Purple/Maroon amzn.to/45UurQQPrinceton Aqua Elite Synthetic Kolinsky Brush, Round, size 8 amzn.to/42P6whE. $11.83Princeton Aqua Elite Synthetic Kolinsky Brush, Round, size 12amzn.to/41bwFIG $17.29White Ceramic Dishes amzn.to/4lJXUBMMeeden Cold Press 10x7 Block go.meedenart.com/4gmRaHWMeeden 12-well Round Palette go.meedenart.com/4gE9iNhUse coupon code DIANE15 for 15% off every Meeden orderChapters:00:00 Introduction00:16 Tip: the importance of a swatch card!01:16 Selecting a color palette02:07 Today's color mixing trick06:33 Swatching the mixes10:57 Tinting the paper with buff titanium12:55 Painting a loose background18:19 Reinforcing the flowers21:19 Painting stems and leaves24:59 Adding details and dark tones to the flowers35:35 Finishing with white dots----Get an overview of what we do here at Diane Antone Studio:https://linktr.ee/dianeantonestudioJoin my FREE Studio Insiders' Newsletter for weekly coupons, freebies, offers, inspiration, news and more: dianeantone.com/join-our-newsletterJoin my YouTube Membership: youtube.com/dianeantonestudio/joinJoin my Patreon: patreon.com/dianeantonestudioBecome a Studio Insider for 10 FREE one-click sketch downloads per month: dianeantone.com/product/studio-insiders-pass-----SUPPLIESBrowse all of my recommended supplies on my Amazon Storefronts:USA - amazon.com/shop/dianeantonestudioCanada - amazon.ca/shop/dianeantonestudioUK - amazon.co.uk/shop/dianeantonestudioAbout my brushesI have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan.

Watercolor versus Gouache? Ive Fixed 100s of Watercolor Paintings With This GAME CHANGER! Diane Antone Studio 2025-06-14 | If you’ve ever wished your #watercolor paintings had a bit more punch or a bit more softness, but don’t want to change your style, there’s a simple answer - try #GOUACHE! Gouache is watercolor too, but it has more pigment and more opacity, so can do things its watery cousin can’t do - it’s a real #painting game-changer! I’ve saved 100s of my watercolor paintings using the tips I’m sharing with you in this video using Gouache. Gouache blends beautifully with transparent watercolor as we will find out today in this video and we’ll discuss whether this type of paint might just be what you’re looking for!Materials:*White Gouache*Daler Rowney White Gouache 15ml amzn.to/4ebi98LWinsor & Newton White Gouache 14ml amzn.to/3FDTkWlHolbein White Gouache 15ml amzn.to/43Iysq7Daniel Smith White Gouache 15ml amzn.to/45nGh5UM.

101 Watercolor Sketchbooks Flip-Through! Diane Antone Studio 2025-05-29 | Join me on Patreon patreon.com/dianeantonestudioSketchbooks are seriously on-trend nowadays. Amazon is overflowing with options, and YouTube is full of artists telling you how to fill them. But do your sketchbooks free your creativity, or (if you're honest with yourself) are they a barrier, an inhibition, or even an artistic trap? I have 101 sketchbooks which I've accumulated over 40 years of painting and in this video I'm going to show you around some of them as I offer you, and myself, a mental reset - back to how sketchbooks used to be, and in my opinion still should be, used: for whatever comes out of your pen or brush, NOT for curated collections of paintings. And as we go I'll introduce you to our June challenge #joyofjune which is my way of helping all of us to bring this artistic freedom back into our daily art habit.*Full details of the challenge coming soon on Patreon and in the YouTube Membership tab*Materials:Etchr Mixed Media Sketchbook with Canvas cover amzn.to/4dAsjzqEtchr Hot Press Watercolor Block A4 amzn.to/3JimxmPHahnemuhle Bamboo mixed media pad amzn.to/3JAlgryStrathmore Watercolor Journal 5 x 8 inches amzn.to/3WtkXaFViviva Square Sketchbook amzn.to/4mK2P75Viviva Sketchpad Refill amzn.to/3SrBWa8Clairefontaine Carnet de Voyage, various sizes amzn.to/4d8DcIwCanson XL Mixed Media Sketchbook 5.5x8.5” 90lb / 160gsm amzn.to/41gIXgZString and Space Sketchbook amzn.to/4c55HFOPaul Rubens Watercolor Book amzn.to/4jAE0YwPaul Rubens Pink or black Watercolor sketchbook. amzn.to/4kbSbnKStrathmore Mixed Media Sketchbook amzn.to/3Sr0DU4Strathmore 81/2 x 11 Hardcover Watercolor book amzn.to/3Sr3rAtStrathmore 400 series amzn.to/44UrdwdStrathmore 300 series amzn.to/45uEYSqCanson Graduate Sketchbooks amzn.to/3ZGZATRArtx watercolor sketchbook amzn.to/4mK2P75Viviva from their website: *Use code DIANEANTONE to get 10% off your order if you shop here.*Square Sketchbook Ivory 64 pages 120lb tinyurl.com/Viviva-Square-64Square Sketchbook 40 pages 140lb tinyurl.com/Viviva-Square-40A5 Sketchbook 64 pages 120lb tinyurl.com/A5-64-pageA5 Sketchbook 40 pages 140lb tinyurl.com/Viviva-A5-40A5 Sketchpad 32 leaves 120lb refill tinyurl.com/Viviva-Sketchpad-RefillGet a Studio Insiders Pass and choose ten FREE sketch downloads EVERY MONTH from our library of over 300 sketches: dianeantone.com/product/studio-insiders-pass(There are no recurring charges, just a one-off payment to set up the Pass. **Patrons and Channel Members get this pass FREE - look for the coupon code when you join!**)-------Get an overview of what we do here at Diane Antone Studio:https://linktr.ee/dianeantonestudioJoin my FREE Studio Insiders' Newsletter for coupons, freebies, offers, inspiration, news and more: dianeantone.com/join-our-newsletterJoin my YouTube Membership: youtube.com/dianeantonestudio/joinJoin my Patreon: patreon.com/dianeantonestudioBecome a Studio Insider for 10 FREE one-click sketch downloads per month: dianeantone.com/product/studio-insiders-pass----SUPPLIESBrowse all of my recommended supplies on my Amazon Storefronts:USA - amazon.com/shop/dianeantonestudioCanada - amazon.ca/shop/dianeantonestudioUK - amazon.co.uk/shop/dianeantonestudioAbout my brushesI have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan.

Diane Antone Studio 2025-05-10 | Join me on Patreon patreon.com/dianeantonestudioIf you’ve ever found yourself staring at a blank page, wondering what to paint next… I’ve got the perfect answer.

Just 4 steps to paint this Game Changing Watercolor Poppy Landscape (no drawing skills needed) Diane Antone Studio 2025-04-10 | Join me on Patreon patreon.com/dianeantonestudioToday I'm going to show you how to paint an idyllic summer afternoon in the countryside - the sort of landscape you can lose yourself in, imagining yourself brushing your hands over the bright red poppy heads as you walk through the fields towards the tree, where you perhaps rest a while in the shade and lean your back against its trunk. This loose watercolor landscape of a poppy field is perfect for beginners and improvers, and I have a composition trick for you along the way.

5 Watercolor Lessons I Wish I’d Learned (MUCH!) Younger Diane Antone Studio 2025-04-05 | Join me on Patreon patreon.com/dianeantonestudioAfter painting for over 50 years, I’ve learned a few things the hard way—things I really wish someone had told me when I was just starting out. In this video, I’m sharing five watercolor lessons I learned the long way that made a big difference to my art, and that might just save you a lot of time and frustration too. If you’re new to watercolor, I hope this gives you a little boost of confidence and helps you sidestep some of the early frustrations. And if you’ve been painting for a while, you might find yourself nodding along—or you might have your own lessons to share. Either way, I’m so glad you’re here.
