How SHINY METALLIC PAINTS can TRANSFORM your Relaxing Doodle Art - SPARKLY ideas to lift your mood! 

My husband of 50 years passed away January 30 2024. I’m glad to be tuning in again

This is a pretty painting and looks very relaxing. A great way to play with your paints! The sparkly paints are gorgeous!

Love it when your thoughts go adrift - makes me feel like I have a kindred spirit in you!!! Your time with us is always so peaceful and peppered with a funny comment here and there. And your art is exactly what I need! Thank you!!!

Great video. You're right, perfect for relaxation. I really enjoyed the flip through was you art journal. Thank you for sharing. ❤

I love when you paint what I call sampler pictures! It’s easy and every time they are different and I find them satisfying!

I love seeing your mini paintings….and just you talking. Sometimes if the music is not suiting the mood…….well…… the voice is quite nice. And it saves you having to pick the music.

Really inspiring…thank you❤️❤️

By the way, these make some of my best bookmarks! I’m making 27 bookmarks for my Sister’s ladies Bible Study group 😊 and will include some like this!

Thank you Diane! Very relaxing, entertainingabd inspiring. I am so happy you do not add music.

Thanks for the demo of the MAB watercolours!

Another relaxing and fun time with you Diane…..thanks so much😊❤

Thank you Diane for this video~ That Kuratake Japanese watercolor paints is the one that I bought not to long ago! I just love those colors! What a great idea to get to know these paints a bit! Have a great weekend! Much love ❤️✝️🙏🏻

Dear Diane, very nice . Just a simple relaxing tutorial, what's not to like 😍 Love the pastels, and those mab metallics are really wonderful. Xx Thanks for showing xx Enjoy your curry 😊

WoW, Very Beautiful Art, Thanks for your nice Time. 🙏🏼🙏🏼👌👌💕💕

Love to watch when you do these mini paintings ❤

Loved the colours and chat. Thx Diane

I have plenty of paint but fell for your pallette arrangement. Just the image of that itself is lovely. I'm so tempted to buy these. Very nice video. Thank you.

Loved this one, Diane. Thank you. :)

Fun and I love me some metallic paints. Thanks Diane 😊❤

I love those paints ! I bought them on your recommendation and I am so happy I did. Thankyou

I love using metallics, they are so much fun ☺☺

So pretty. I will try that this weekend. I enjoy the blocks. I have limited sparkly water colors - I'll see how those works. But WOW to that silver! Thank you for the video!

I rather like the smudgy ones. They look rather vintage or distressed, and I like effect.

Fun idea! It's my birthday today and I got some new paints. Can hardly wait to dig into them tomorrow. It's funny that I turned on RU-vid and you were unboxing new paints. Have fun with them. I also got some Meeden paper! My first really good paper. I'm feeling really happy right now.

I love the way you paint.

Love your work

❤Fun! Thank you!

Love the simplicity 🎉🎉🎉

J aime beaucoup ❤❤❤merci.

I made these as bookmarks as well and as soon as I finished them- they were gone!😂😂

Love the pink and purple glitter paints. I could make some super sparkly floral arrangements ❤. My Kuretake Art Nouveau paints are my current faves.

Wow! That was fun and relaxing. The silver is amazing. Thank you for more instruction, especially using the paper towel for texture. Pretty!

❤❤❤

Did you start by talking about making more room in your studio to taking the surplus easels to the Village cat charity Art Group?

Thanks

Very good ideas! ❤

Very sweet chat-a-long….🫶🏻👩🏼‍🎨Just what I needed for this rainy spring day….thanks Diane. I always enjoy our little visit. Also, I love this palette of Kuritaki paint. Had another large set which I used when I was just starting with watercolor last year. I recently gifted it to a fellow 13 year old watercolorist. Turns out she had been saving up for this. We both do gifting cards as gifts to encourage others. Think I will send her a card made from this exercise. 🌈🙌🏻Have a great day and know you do inspire my creativity.

Bonjour Diane , moi j aime bien ce style d exercice , as tu essaye de melange les couleurs argents avec des couleurs normales pour voir si elles deviennent brillantes ? Merci pour ton soutiens aux animaux , tu es vraiment une bonne personne en plus d etre douee . Bises a bientot

As for forgetting the point of what you are saying, I do it all the time! Weird, but, that's me.

You lost your track when you were telling us about moving stuff out of your studio to bring in a bigger table! I think 😂. This was lovely to watch, the colours so gentle. Very pretty sampler. I've been trying out the Meeden (your recommendation) set of 24 tube watercolours. Quite different! Thanks for the fun video. I've been recommending you to several new watercolour youtubers, your style of painting, and of showing and explaining are uniquely gentle, non-teachy, fun, and no music. Silence in between chat is normal❤ Mx

I absolutely love painting this type of squares with doodles but I have a hard time getting the size and spacing of the squares just right. I usually end up measuring out a grid then painting in the squares. I wish I had a template/stencil!

Oh I see where its from, never mind

✨✨💜💜✨✨

Lovely to frame 🖼️ ❤😊

I love how you organized your paints. What try are you using for your Art Nouveau paints? Thank you!

Wondering where you got the nice big pan you arranged them in. Always enjoy listening and watching your art, Rita

I have the mirror and ocean set from Mab. But what are the other 2 collections? I don’t think I’d be interested darker colors if there’s a lot of brown 😮 TY

Diane, do you know if you can buy replacement pans or do you need to buy a whole new set?

❤❤❤👍👍👍☘🌿🌱😊

Introduce your dogs. 😊

Ha ving fu n with you
