In our first exclusive members' tutorial for August, I'm going to take you along as I explore the sunflowers I picked yesterday a bit further (https://youtu.be/DbqkK2eJPGs). The bud in the bouquet opened overnight into a sweet, perfect little flower so I decided to focus on that one, and to draw and paint it three different ways on the same page in my sketchbook. This video is completely uncut so you can see the whole process, exactly as it happened - even how long I spent drying the page before continuing to paint!

Why I lost all my friends when I started to paint watercolor online
YouTube Video UExWa3NvZWRYQUFtZlc3UUxFbmdreEhUWEhlZXRtV2k0Ri4yOUY5MUNBMTM5RDMyREQ5
Join me on Patreon https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio In tonight’s video, we’re exploring the gentle art of mixing pastel shades using Buff Titanium as our secret ingredient. Rather than reaching for white, we’re using this soft, natural pigment to subtly lighten bold colors without losing their richness or character. You'll see how Buff Titanium transforms Quin Rose, Cobalt Blue, and Benzimidazolone Yellow into beautiful, harmonious pastels with depth and personality. It’s a simple but powerful technique for creating a softer, vintage-inspired palette that feels cohesive and expressive. Perfect for florals, skies, or any scene where you want light to glow gently from the page.

You’ll find chapters if you’d like to jump ahead, but I hope you’ll stay to the end for a peaceful moment in the garden with real lavender and bees, and as a bonus treat: scroll down for links to three lavender reference photos available to use without restriction for YouTube Members and Patreon supporters!
