Can’t thank you enough …..I play your long videos now instead of listening to the radio or watching telly…. You have changed my life with your channel….. I am so pleased that utube and Amazon has arrived in the world in time for my less energetic years! …… you are the best channel and I love your ramblings ……. I am the same in that way too🤪!!
Thank you so much Viv for your lovely kind message! I’m so glad you are enjoying the channel! You’re quite right, we are very lucky to have these online choices. I’ve been enjoying listening to radio plays which were created by the BBC in the 60s 70s 80s, and which I didn’t get the chance to listen to then, but I’m now enjoying in my retirement, ha ha! I suppose you could call that living in the past! But I’m happy! Thanks again for all your support ❤️
4 hours of uninterrupted Diane!😅 I'm in heaven! Thank you dear lady!! I'm a wee bit jealous...snow! Anything but sunshine, day after day! From the tropics sending much Aloha! 🌈🌞🌺🙋♀️
1:59:55 this is one of my favorite pieces! This is very beautiful and pretty! The watercolor looks really good! Keep it up and don’t beat yourself up! Your art is amazing!!
I really enjoy these longer videos! It's a great accompaniment to my own painting sessions! Thank you for all that you do! You've become my go-to channel as I continue my own journey back to creativity and self-care. 💙💙 Sending you love all the way from Vancouver, BC! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Enjoying watching this video. Wish I could sit down and have four hours of no interruptions so having to watch it in sections. So much catching up to do. Wish I could paint all day!
Thank you so, so much! You are such a part of my day! Absolutely love your enthusiasm, positive attitude, and painting expertise. I especially love the fact that you emphasize that perfection is not pour goal!
Ha, you crack me up when you break into German or French. Such beautiful accents in both. You are amazing! Oh, and your painting skills are equally amazing. 😊
I love these long format videos. I watch them a bit at a time and just for you, I play them at night while I'm sleeping because your voice is soothing and so is your music. I've watched every one you've done. You can tell you've been painting for a long time. I've got a few years under my belt and I still can't draw as quickly and accurately as you do. I love your channel.
Loved doing the lambs but didn’t have space for chickens lol I love the cardinals and will delight in trying those. Thanks for sharing your amazing 4 hours of painting pleasure and that Scandinavian tree looks awesome.❤❤❤❤😊
I still have 50% of this video to watch. I love sitting at my desk painting with you. It's nice to have a friend to enjoy my hobby with. I can't comment on boky as I have no idea what it is. If it interests you, I'm sure I will enjoy seeing you give it a try. Thank you for the time and talent you give so generously❤
Hi and thanks for your support ! I have indeed done a couple of videos using the Bokeh technique - it’s easy enough and interesting to do, a bit meditative and slightly time consuming !
I love that you say you are English and so you talk rubbish. Your videos are so enjoyable in part because you stay true to you and you actually talk a lot like I do, so it is comforting when i watch your videos. It isn't rubbish. It is interesting to hear about your world.
Thank you for all of these long sessions. They have been wonderful. I had to chuckle to myself as I was watching one of the others and thought to myself how well you splatter, very direct and where you want it. Then here, you shared about flicking the computer - that's what I've done on more than one occasion. May your New Year be wonderful, peaceful and all that you hope it will be.
I can’t see either and Painting is my hobby that keeps me going. Macular degeneration has caught me. 😎hoping it won’t get worse. Like your work because it’s fun‼️
Sorry to hear about the vision problem, that’s hard. Sending prayers for you thank you for being a loyal, committed follower for so long. Merry Christmas to you and yours and a happy new year xxx
Watching your painting is great " recovery time" after a long, tiring weekend participating in a Christmas Art Sale. I'm getting too old for that heavy lifting! We kept our expectations small and made just enough sales to get 4 new tires on our car. Now to sort and prepare for a mini sale Dec. 3, not nearly as much work and I don't have to be present.😊 Your painting is lovely, I love farm scenes! Hope you feel better now.
Your videos are welcome sight every time. I feel like a giant in asian countries. I'm currently almost 5'3" also. Clothing that fits is a major challenge. I don't have a bamboo pen but get great straight marks with the edge of a credit card. 😊
Dear Diane, there's no way on earth that your first snow scene with the sheep is in anyway dull, it's actually one of my favourite I think , it's absolutely adorable and your storytelling and narration is all the company I need ❤ I could listen to you all day 😅 .Btw I love twiglets , I lick all the sticky coating off first 😂 Thanks for showing 😊
Beautiful artwork! Thank you for making it easy to follow. One suggestion, please be aware of all your background noise. It’s very distracting, sounds like sweeping, cleaning, and barking, during the cardinal painting video. I like your comments and music, so I hesitate to turn off the sound. But the extra noise is irritating. I know you’re very focused on your art so you probably tune out all the background noise. Love your work. Thanks.
Thanks for the tip! Sorry it’s annoying - sometimes life gets in the way. The noise you think is sweeping is birds on the roof. The noise you think is cleaning is possibly also animals outside - certainly no cleaning takes place while I’m recording! There is often quite a lot of noise from rain or wind as our studio is metal roofed and not soundproof. The occasional bark I can’t do anything about - we live in a rural community where dogs outside sometimes bark which causes our rescued dog to reply from time to time. He has to live in the studio with me because he might chase the chickens outside if he isn’t watched. Another thing that used to cause background noise is the movement of my arm on the paper. Most of these things have been corrected now as we have better equipment. Also, some people’s devices make these background sounds louder than others. Just thought you’d like an explanation of the background noise. You might also find much less of it on the more recent videos. This long one is a compilation of work done over the past couple of years and as we have gained experience in the technical process things like background noise are less of a problem. Best wishes for the holiday season xxx
What brand is the bamboo pen, looked at them there are tons of examples, I really like they produce the thin straight line, thanks in advance, LOVE this video!!!

The back ground noise plus music makes it impossible for me to concentrate ! After having 2 strokes my brain can't sort out it out & quickly gives me an intense headache! One reason I subscribed & joined your channel was the fact you announced that you had discontinued music! I'm at a crossroads I'm 😢😢. So discouraging!
Please don't worry! These long videos are all compilations of OLD tutorials (with music). We will be doing compilations without music too, as soon as time allows. All of our NEW tutorials will continue to be without music.
As I watched this wonderful presentation today, I marvelled at how generous you are to all of us. There are so many tutorials here! As always, I so enjoy your memories from the past and the latest weather reports! I find it calming and refreshing; many times I just burst out laughing at some of the things you say. Watching your videos makes for some great therapy for me. Thank you so much!
Wow Dianne, you are knocking it out the park lately! Well done you! You really are giving so much to people, and these long sessions are just what many need - a fully absorbed meditation in paint, the whimisical animals are wonderful for newbies and experienced alike...just wanted to say what a fantastic job u are doing for the watercolour community. Thanks for your generosity and akill sharing.
Oh how I’d love to have a White Christmas. Our Christmas’s are in the Summer, so it’s always hot. But absolutely love these Snowy Christmas Scenes. Thank you for your generosity of your time and talents. Love listening to you. ❤❤❤❤❤
I am just hooked on your videos, watching everything emerge from your brushstrokes is pretty amazing. So now you got me into a watercolor frenzie only to discover it is not as easy as it looks! But I am not giving up. Thank you!💖🍀 Machteld
Hi Diane, You are great and your watercolors are great! I have learned so much from you this year! I have 4 favorites and you are one of them. I love the way you talk to us and tell us about your life. I am older also and love watercolor! Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad that I’m one of your favourites! I wonder who the other three are! Sending best wishes for a Merry Christmas, and happy New Year!
Diane, I’m having so much trouble trying to log in to your website to purchase your sketches. It keeps asking me to update my passwords etc, and I then keep getting timed out, and have to wait. It’s so frustrating. I don’t know what else to do. Help…….🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Sorry to hear this! I'm sure we can work out what's happening. Please email us at orders@dianeantone.com, to let us know the email you're using to log in. Then we'll take a look at your account and see what's going on. It would also be helpful if you could try logging in on a different device or a different browser, and letting us know whether that works.
@@DianeAntoneStudiohi Diane, it seems that I’ve fixed the gremlins, that wouldn’t allow me to order your illustrations. After turning off my iPad, resetting my password, numerous times, etc etc, it finally allowed me to purchase some and download them. I’m a happy Chappy! Thank you for getting back to me. ❤❤❤
Diane!!! I am so delighted to have found you on YT. Best Xmas present ever. I absolutely adore watching you paint. Very relaxing and inspiring. Long may we all enjoy you.
Liebe Diane, ich mag Deine Art zu malen sehr, so locker würde ich das auch gerne können. Ich war total überrascht, dass Du so gut Deutsch sprechen kannst und habe mich sehr gefreut, das zu hören. Liebe Grüße aus Lower Saxony!
