Tutorials using Kuretake Art Supplies

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. Some people say Gansai Tambi isn’t “real” watercolor… so how will it stand up in a head to head?

Join me on Patreon https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio We’re told to follow the rules when learning watercolor—but what if breaking one is the key to painting with joy? In this video, I’ll show you the watercolor rule I intentionally break every time I paint. It took me years to give myself permission to ignore it—but once I did, everything changed. You’ll see: – What the rule is – Why I choose to break it – How it transformed my floral painting process If you’re a beginner or someone who feels stuck trying to “do it right,” this might be the gentle nudge you need to loosen up and paint more freely. Let the water guide you. Break the rules. And most of all—enjoy the process.
