Join me on Patreon: patreon.com/dianeantonestudio In this gentle watercolour session, we are painting peacefully and calmly, and asking nothing of ourselves in the best possible way. I share several of my simple texturising techniques you can use any time to slow down, let go of expectations, and enjoy the quiet process of painting. As well, you’ll often receive the gift of a pleasant surprise when your work is finished! This is not about planning results or aiming for perfection, but about creating a small space of peace for you to dwell in, where you can rest, breathe, and do nothing to stop the paint finding its own way.

➡️ *About my brushes*
I buy my favorite brushes from Drawell. 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. drawell.co.jp/english/product.html
