Join me on Patreon https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Today I’m going to show you how to paint a cute bird in a way that might possibly change your art life. I have recently discovered a technique for putting paint on to paper that works very well for blobby birds, and I’m going to show you how I have adapted that technique to get the effect on the bird you see here.

Join me on Patreon https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio In this video we are busting the myth that you need to be able to draw to be able to paint. One of the biggest reasons people give for never picking up a paintbrush is that they can’t draw. The truth is that the opposite is true - some of the most famous painters were good BECAUSE they couldn’t draw (think Van Gogh and Maud Lewis) and many of today’s great painters also attach very little importance to realism and accurate drawings. So today we’re jumping confidently in and creating with color and line. And who knows, you might find yourself starting to draw too.

Join me on Patreon https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio If I had a dollar for every time I have heard “I love landscapes but I can’t paint them” I’d be a wealthy woman! But this doesn’t need to be the case, because the very best landscapes (in my humble opinion) are not based on accurate perspective or any other daunting feature of drawing, composition or tonal values. They are based on genuine feeling for the landscape, familiarity with it and a love of nature and of color. Try this method, which needs no skill, just willingness to let go and enjoy the process. You can download the sketch if you want some help with the layout, and once you’ve got the bare bones on the paper, you can let rip with the paint. Have fun!

Join me on Patreon https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Today was a tough day for me and I just wanted to do something simple, so this is for those of you who are having similar feelings! No skill needed, just the desire to put color on paper and lose myself for a mindless thinking-free hour or two. Pick four of your favorite colors, find a piece of paper, a brush and a few markers and let’s have fun (we can fix the world later!)

Join me on Patreon https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Today I’m continuing my journey into tube watercolors and painting loose flowers to try to drive away the post-Christmas blues. We had our first snow yesterday - admittedly only a tea-cup-full but enough to chill the bones and freeze the nose. Let’s warm ourselves up with some cheerful colorful flowers today, in a loose, free and easy style anyone can enjoy. And visit with Arthur at the end for a cosy cuddle and sight of his gorgeous green eyes!
