When a family member or pet is sick or dies you want to do something to make yourself feel better and to remember them by. That’s why we often turn to art when we lose a pet, and you might feel inspired to paint your dog or cat - or in this case, a chicken! Remy was one of our pet roosters and he met an untimely end recently. I hadn’t realised how much I’d been affected by my own negligence which had led to his death until today when I found myself painting a little picture of him. RIP Remy.

Today I‘m exploring some new travel paints from Meeden, in a format you might not have seen before, PLUS some silky smooth but wonderfully responsive watercolor paper from Paul Rubens. Use your granulating paints to create a soft background and then take a line for a walk with me and create some leaves and flowers to lift your mood while I ramble on for a while on subjects close to my heart!

Let’s practice together my easy to master techniques for painting a simple landscape that looks real - a sunny sky with fluffy clouds, rolling hills and lines of trees to give perspective. I will take away the fear of landscape painting many of us have built up through making things too complicated. In this video we simplify things to make them do-able and show also how to mix the best colors for your greens and distant hills. You might also enjoy the book Watercolor Wanderlust by Hannah M. Pickerill which I highly recommend for learning to paint watercolor landscapes: Watercolor Wanderlust. https://amzn.to/3wfVO8H Review of this book by @ArtBookNook https://youtu.be/5_H0br98fSU?si=MWcpVwrW56tIGPN- Materials: Holbein Shadow Green https://amzn.to/3Qz3YzA Holbein Olive Green https://amzn.to/3y47ETU Holbein Terre Verte https://amzn.to/3JMPdp4 Holbein Yellow Ochre https://amzn.to/4a5z4G5 QOR 12 tube introductory set (for Ultramarine and Burnt Sienna) https://amzn.to/3WtPvZx Michael Harding Azo Yellow https://amzn.to/4brtwqE Meeden 5 x 7 Watercolor paper 100% cotton - cold press https://amzn.to/3QxIrHO Meeden Square Palette https://amzn.to/44ubFwN Size 7 and 10 round brushes Painting Water by Joe Francis Dowden https://amzn.to/3y6Y6rh Drawing Wild Flowers by Edith Hilder (available on AbeBooks.com) ----------------------- Get an overview of what we do here at Diane Antone Studio: https://linktr.ee/dianeantonestudio Join my FREE Studio Insiders' Newsletter for weekly coupons, freebies, offers, inspiration, news and more: https://dianeantone.com/join-our-newsletter Join my YouTube Membership: https://youtube.com/dianeantonestudio/join Join my Patreon: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Check out my BLOG: www.dianeantone.com and download FREE traceable sketches for ALL my painting tutorials HERE: https://dianeantone.com/free-downloads/ Shop My MERCH: https://merch.dianeantone.com --------------------------------------------------------------- SUPPLIES Browse all of my recommended supplies on my Amazon Storefronts: USA - https://amazon.com/shop/dianeantonestudio Canada - https://amazon.ca/shop/dianeantonestudio UK - https://amazon.co.uk/shop/dianeantonestudio About my brushes I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan.
