Join me on Patreon https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Tonight’s painting is all about lifting your spirits through color, creativity, and a bit of playful brushwork. We all have days when the blues sneak in — and picking up a paintbrush can be one of the gentlest ways to find our way back to calm, light, and joy. When inspiration is lacking, that’s when we turn to a painting like this one! I used my Kuretake watercolors for their luminous, expressive color, paired with Meeden’s 100% cotton watercolor paper, which handled the washes beautifully. Whether you're painting along or just watching, let me offer you a little inspiration if you’re needing it! I hope this little moment of color brings you a bit of peace and encouragement too. Also let me know in the comments how watercolor helps you reset your mood — and don’t forget, members and Patrons get access to bonus content!

Join me on Patreon https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Did I cheat... or just find a better way? In this video, I’ll show you a surprisingly simple method for painting beautiful watercolor leaves — with no stress, no tricky drawing, and results that look like magic. Some might call it cheating… but I say it's just smart painting! Whether you're a beginner or just looking for a relaxing technique to add to your repertoire, this leaf-painting trick is almost foolproof — and so satisfying to do. Try it yourself and be the judge — is it cheating, or is it just watercolor wizardry? #worldwatercolormonth Links: Our 2025 pouch and mug: https://worldwatercolormonth.com/shop/?filter_brand=diane-antone The official 2025 prompts: https://worldwatercolormonth.com/prompts/ Materials: **Meeden 48 color solid watercolor set** US https://go.meedenart.com/4kSnSCv UK https://uk.meedenart.com/products/meeden-48-color-solid-watercolor-set?sca_ref=8833740.pkqmzOJ7cSUTK EU https://eu.meedenart.com/products/meeden-48-color-solid-watercolor-set?sca_ref=8833093.KEKQBZgUjrla AU https://au.meedenart.com/products/meeden-48-color-solid-watercolor-set?sca_ref=8831601.HrWQDzR7Ew8F ***USE code DIANE15 for 15% off ALL FOUR of Meeden’s websites*** Meeden Cold Press 10x7 Block https://go.meedenart.com/4gmRaHW Meeden Cold Press 12x9 block https://go.meedenart.com/4gvFT8c Meeden Cold Press 10x15 block https://go.meedenart.com/4fONIEE Meeden Hot Press 12x9 Block https://go.meedenart.com/46CD5BE Winsor & Newton White Gouache https://amzn.to/4kNFfF0 Princeton Aqua Elite Brush, Round size 8 https://amzn.to/42P6whE Molotow ONE4ALL acrylic TWIN marker (Nature White) https://amzn.to/4b1FyIn Tombow Fudenosuke brush pen https://amzn.to/3QIcn2N Pentel Hybrid Gel white pen https://amzn.to/4b77dpn "The Art of Pressed Flowers and Leaves" by Jennie Ashmore: https://amzn.to/4ljW2iC ----------------------- 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 Become a Studio Insider for 10 FREE one-click sketch downloads per month: https://dianeantone.com/product/studio-insiders-pass/ Buy original paintings on Etsy: https://etsy.com/shop/dianeantonestudio 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.
