No Experience? No Problem! Paint a Beautiful Geode in Watercolor!

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 I painted the same little watercolor scene twice — once using my traditional Winsor & Newton paints, and once using Kuretake Gansai Tambi.
