As always, I enjoy your nature journaling very much. I looked over at Laura B's channel and my goodness, she's got a gift. Thanks for sharing all of these good things.
As always …. Another great tutorial… watching, listening and learning . Thoroughly enjoyed every aspect . Particularly interesting to watch you expertly sketch that tree!🤗
I'm loving your nature journaling... I'll probably give it a try with my own plants in my balcony's sight ❤ Also I love your coments and indications while painting 🎉
Lovely book on flora. Another suggestion for the used bookstore is to look for a field guide of your particular region. Thank you, Diane and Tamsin. I will have to go back to my fantastical tree and add some horizontal lines to the trunk. Very instructive. ❤🙏
Thank you for this sketch of one of your trees. My local park has so many trees I must practice more lol! I was at a used book shop in another U.S. state and they had loads of nature and garden books. I purchased three. Birds, butterflies and a travel book about Tuscany, Italy. So fun!
Btw...enjoyed your nature book contributions in this video too! I've repeated that same rhyme your father did, still do, and think myself quite bright for saying "riz! Lol. Fun days with you, Diane..
Like? I love this video 📹! I want to do a Sketch book myself. For my area. I think it would be lovely. All the different plants that are in Florida! Wow could you imagine! Even we have different tulps that grow here. I already painted this plant. Native plants are so pretty. Have a good rest of your evening. JK FLORIDA USA 🇺🇸
My favorite Poem by Tennyson is The Lady of Shalott. It definitely stims from my love of Anne of Green Gables\Avonlea. I remember when I was a tiny little girl a family friend game my mother the 1985 adaption with Megan Follows, I was around 3 when it came out, and I have loved it ever sense. When my husband and I were married back in 2000 he got me the complete book set.
Yes. It was by e.e. cummings. There was an other line which emphasised a New York accent. "The little boid is on da wing. But dat's absoid./ Da little wing is on da boid." An American publisher perhaps? Perhaps our Transatlantic friends can clarify.
I still can recite a few poems my 4th grade teacher taught us. Every month she wrote a poem on a side board and we had to copy them and we got extra credit if we memorized them…l thank her for that!
Ohh, I have one of Marjorie Blamey's books, Flowers of the Countryside. It was a gift to someone dated 1982. I think it was thru e-bay. There was one at Costco last year and Tamsin said you already had it...can't remember the name. Love your oak painting. So much fun looking for nature sayings. They are all around! xoxoxo
Hello to the fur people. Lovely introduction. I’m always pleased to see Arthur as we watched him grow up. Loving your nature journaling. Also I just went to check out Laura B. Indeed she is talented. Thank you, Diane for being you, Susan
Thank you so much Diane, I have throughly enjoyed this video and managed to watch it to the end this time without interruptions! I would love watching you paint and your tree is perfect by the way. Take care and keep adding to your nature journal. Sandy 🌸 a Pom living in Australia..
I just love this poem! Omg! And what a beautiful and talented artist you are. Thanks for a wonderful entry for a watercolor journal and thank you Diane. Much love 😊❤
Hey Diane, thankyou for another great video. I managed to get the book you mentioned on ebay, quite a few for sale on there if anyone else is looking for one x
Especially love the sage and its stages. Our sage is in the bud stage right now. Will you be posting the youtube channel you mentioned? (Laura from Italy who creates art journals). Thanks, as always for the inspiration Diane.
Talent is far less important than passion. Find some passion for painting or what-have-you, and it will, over time, bring something even better- Skill!
Don't sell your self short. I felt the same when I did a wonderful watercolour course with Lindsey at The Postman's Knock... I even painted a portrait 😮🎉 And I've learnt sooo much from Diane.... Thank you Diane 🙏💖
The Vivia sketchbook paper is quite different than anything else I have tried. Pencil does not erase well, and the paper seems to have a sheen after erasing.
