Hi Insiders!

Welcome to your Studio Insiders newsletter for June.
Read on to find out whether you won the Paint Your Quiet Home members' challenge in May - and we have what we hope you'll agree is the perfect follow-up challenge for June. We also have a lovely summer project just getting underway for our top tier Patrons. Some big news to share with you this month is that we now have a wonderful public Community on YouTube where you can post your photos. Oh, and our Diane Antone x Meeden watercolor set is on sale at the moment, on Meeden's website and on Amazon.
We've been through the wringer a bit in May so we don't have any new blog posts or products to share with you, and I hope you'll forgive us for not taking the time to link to all of our YouTube and Patreon content from May. Here's hoping that June will be kinder to us!

Paint Your Quiet Home Winners

Thank you to everyone who joined May's challenge for all of the heartfelt, touching, beautiful paintings and messages that you've been posting throughout the month. We've been moved by so many of your stories and creations. When it came to it, it was impossible to choose only one winner, so we've decided to award three prizes. Here are the three winners:
Karen Carlson
Wendy Evans
Margaret Lee
Karen, Wendy and Margaret, please email us at studio@dianenatone.com with your address and mobile number, and we'll be in touch to arrange sending you your prize!
Look out for our next challenge with a prize, which will be coming up in a couple of months. But for now, here are the details of June's challenge...

June's Daily Challenge

Postcards from the Summer

After your absolutely wonderful response to the May 'Paint your Quiet Home' challenge, we thought we'd slow down and design a relaxed prompt sheet for June, indulging in painting some of the lazy pleasures that early summer brings.
The challenge is called Postcards from the Summer, and the idea is to create a postcard-sized painting with a different theme each week, so a total of four over the month.
The prompt sheet is now available to members on Patreon and YouTube, and in our members only Facebook group. We look forward to seeing your creations!
Please use the hashtag #summerpostcards when you share.

Have you visited our new Community on YouTube yet?

Have we told you recently that you're amazing?
Our new YouTube Community is only a few weeks old and it's already a busy place where work and ideas are being shared and appreciated. So far we have had zero need to moderate anything, and that has definitely not been every channel's experience with this (fairly) new YouTube feature!
So firstly, we want to say a BIG thank you to everyone who's already found and posted on there. And secondly, to anyone who hasn't heard about it yet, please check it out and say hi! You can post photos but you don't have to - text is fine on its own too!

Diane Antone x Meeden Set

- on Sale this Summer!

Meeden have put our box on sale, both on their websites and on Amazon (in the US at least - but check your local country too, just in case, because they aren't brilliant at keeping us up to date with what they're doing!).
Here are links to the set on all four of Meeden's websites. Use your nearest shop for the best shipping times. And don't forget to use the code DIANE15, because you'll still get that discount, even off the already-reduced sale price.

Get 15% off using discount code DIANE15.

That's it for this month. Thanks for reading, and we hope you enjoyed this edition of the Insiders' Newsletter.
See you next time!
Diane & Tamsin
