Wonderful. The blessing of this tutorial is beyond words. First day of school which makes me maudlin after 67 years of school being the beginning of work life and learning. Just got my table and unpacked the paint supplies I have been gathering since I found your channel. Shower and begin!!! Huge for me. Thank you so much for opening my life to this.
I absolutely love the colors of the paint! I don’t have anything quite that dark. This painting turned out beautifully! I love anytime I get to use the gold paint. I get carried away with with it.
Ooh those Viviva paints are so vibrant and rich! I am not buying more paint. I am not buying more paint. I am not buying more paint. I am not buying more paint. LOL
That was absolutely vibrant, glowing and totally gorgeous! I love watching your painting coming to life from the coloured background as you chat to us. You give us fresh ideas and confidence to let go and enjoy our paints. Thank you x
Absolutely beautiful! I would love to see something similar in a Christmas or holiday theme. I know it's early, but I send out original cards and they take me a while. 😊 Thank you for sharing this.
Original cards, wow! Sound lovely -what a treat for the recipients. Fantasy me wishes I could do something like that, but then reality strikes. Perhaps with Diane's inspiration I can make it this year.
@@berolinastrassmann Berolina, you can do cards. Diane's youtube site has a lot of good ideas. I don't do other social media, but I imagine she has even more than I know. The best advice I can offer is don't overload yourself. Make a few for close friends or family members to start with. And keep them simple. Add a small ribbon or sequins for sparkle and you are ready to send. The recipients will love them!
Autumn leaves sound really good, especially here in the USA, dealing with 112-120 degrees heat index. Thanks Diane , keep it coming 😊 Don’t forget the Blackberries….
This is just gorgeous Diane. I really. enjoy watching your process and seeing how it all comes together Really beautiful colours. Thanks for sharing. Take care! Ann ❤xx
I am amazed at how beautiful this turned out. I would have thought it a terrible mess after the first few minutes. Thank you for showing us how to keep going and seeing how things work.
The Viviva colors are absolutely gorgeous. So fun to see this dry into a wonderful background and then to add all the leaves and the gold! I think these golds are much stronger than the Kuretake Starry Colors...but will give it a try. My Christmas list is getting very long...I doubt if I can wait! Thank you for teaching us to turn off our brains and let the brush take over! Watercolor is not about brain control!
Yes!!! I'm so loving the fall theme!!! The paints are beautiful and rich, vibrant colors. I finally bought gold ink because my metallic watercolor paint wasn't as good as Coliro!!! I also tried metallic gouache! Thank you! Blessings from a California Gramma ❤
I love the beautiful autumnal colors! This makes me look forward to the day when our temperatures feel a lot cooler and autumn is in the air! Thanks Diane!
At 28:31 - l loved your addition of "seeds, that look like an open fruit, like a fig" ... it was a beautiful addition! And it really hit me just how stuck my thinking can be, only thinking of leaves, buds, berries. That's how you inspire us! Thank you.
What a fun exploration. Love the vibrant colors and the way they bled into each other. The texture is so interesting. Your work with the brush pen took the piece to a whole new dimension. Wonderful And,, as always, how can you possibly go wrong adding gold! Thank you again.
Diane, youve got to check out Peerless watercolors. They've been around since 1885 and are on paper like these. I'd venture to day that theirs are better! Certainly larger sheets and economical.
Just love this, Diane! The colors are beautiful, and the gold really makes it sing! I’m going to invest in some better metallic paint, as the one I have doesn’t produce those kind of results. Can’t wait to get to it!
Such deep rich colors! I loved the one with the pine trees too, looks like the mountains around here in autumn. I looked up Norman Garbo, he died in 2017 age 98. He was a novelist as well, and those books seem pretty available, but not the art book. Which may be a good thing for me since I sometimes struggle with reading more than actually doing.
I found this one for sale on Abe Books.www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=11828386802&cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-tile3&searchurl=ds%3D10%26sortby%3D17%26tn%3DPull%2Bup%2Ban%2Beasel%26an%3DNorman%2Bgarbo
You are on a roll! Because of you, I realize that yellow is now my favorite color. Of course our sun! Have you noticed we cannot get the best advantage from the video about the metalics?
Bold rich colors and then the leaf motif that is transformed with your sure touch of golds and shadow...loved seeing your unwavering pursuit of more and more. Plan to watch this tutorial over and over. I love Autumn!
This is lovely. The combination of colors is really an autumnal mosaic! Ah! Turn the brain off. For me that is the key. This aspiring watercolorist doth complain too much. I overthink things and end up with a mess because my brain is much to intrusive. Give us tips to turn the brain off. Beautiful work as usual. Thanks, Diane.
Thank you Diane. I would buy this little packet of colors just to have that luscious color, you said reminded you of chestnuts. Wow! What an amazing color! Thanks for keeping company during a trying, difficult time. Much love and aloha to you💚🌈🌺🙋♀️
Hi, Diane, The last time I looked for your channel, you were going through your favorite books, I picked the "Watercolor Workbook" by Sarah Simon. I'm loving it. Thank you!
Your artwork is so inspirational, I love listening to you share your thoughts on different subjects... I find your tutorials fun, peaceful and calming... and I adore all your family (dogs, cats etc) that you share. Thank you :)
This is a beautiful, freeing tutorial, Diane! Thanks for the vibrant colour combinations and inspirational ideas for embellishment! Love the finished piece, :))
This was a wonderful painting showing depth and shading. It turned out great! I enjoy your spontaneous painting and doodles. I’ve painted several and I learn more about my paints. Thanks Diane❤️
Those paints are so vibrant! Loved seeing the different shapes you added to the original and the copied backgrounds. Enjoyed this very much! Thanks Diane! I’m looking forward to autumn coming to my part of the world ~ southeastern Virginia. Have a wonderful day!
I have to tell you that the Kuetaki Japanese watercolours are beautiful. Not only that but I have given them to my 34 year old son who throughly enjoyed them on a recent visit. You Diane have inspired both of us. Thank you.
So enjoyed watching this and looking forward to seeing what happens when I try later. Thank you so much for all you share with us, your art and also you as well. You always inspire me.
Gorgeous colours and lovely abstract piece. I’m loving this channel. ‘Fire’ was performed by ‘The Crazy World of Arthur Brown’ I about 1967/68 I think.
The gold on the dark red is really striking!
The brown red. Wow. Gorgeous.
Ready for fall! Tired of the heat!
🍁🍂🍁

Very rich colors totally enhanced by your talent. I am in awe.
Very beautiful fall painting Diane. Thank you for sharing.💕Amy
Thank you so much!
Like a rich embroidered brocade! Thanks for integrating the brush pens again, too, Dianne - good to know they’re blendable.
I do admire your "slap happy" technique. It is brilliant when you "find" the trees, etc.
Ooh those Viviva paints are so vibrant and rich! I am not buying more paint. I am not buying more paint. I am not buying more paint. I am not buying more paint. LOL
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gorgeous colors! Can you imagine what the masters of old could've done with all our modern supplies?!
Love the strength of the colours your experimental approach
Glorious colors!

You know we love and enjoy everything you do, so no fret.
I see a little Sprite face in the upper left hand corner. I love the colors. Thank you 😊
Norman only died in 2017 at the impressive age of 98. Thanks for sharing your video and skills with us; I really enjoyed it.
In love with those reds! My Amazon wishlist keeps growing and growing… 😅 It turns out beautiful, Diane.
The colors are fabulous. I love autumn. It's my favorite time of year in northern Illinois. US

It would make a lovely duvet cover for the approaching grey sky days …
Never too early for Autumn! Lovely paints.

I love the beautiful autumnal colors! This makes me look forward to the day when our temperatures feel a lot cooler and autumn is in the air! Thanks Diane!
What I love about the Vivia paints is that they dry the same as when you lay it down. Vibrant!! Love the artwork on top too! Thanks... again.

Really nice piece Dianne. That paper’s texture makes it look like it’s a tapestry. 👍🏻👍🏻
The colors are amazing. It takes my breathe away.
What beautiful colors and design!
Diane, youve got to check out Peerless watercolors. They've been around since 1885 and are on paper like these. I'd venture to day that theirs are better! Certainly larger sheets and economical.

Very relaxing, I love it.
Beautiful, I love what you did!
Just love this, Diane! The colors are beautiful, and the gold really makes it sing! I’m going to invest in some better metallic paint, as the one I have doesn’t produce those kind of results. Can’t wait to get to it!
I was wary of how this would develop! It’s stunning. I love the red, orange and gold. The gold really makes it elegant! You are amazing Diane. ❤️
Thank you for a beautiful painting and inspiration. This one is sparkling and wants me to try something similar as soon as possible ❤
Oh how I love these vibrant colors reminds me of autumn which I'm anxiously awaiting. I also like the one with trees. Thanks again Diane 😊❤
You are so welcome!
I love the vivid colors! I may have to try some of these! Thank you. It was great to see this come together.

Outstanding It is so vibrant. It Really calls to me to stop cleaning the kitchen and run to my art room!!
I love how you play with the paint.
I Iove those colors, rich and deep. My art budget is rather thin at the moment so I will have to wait awhile to try those. Thank you for sharing!
Love this one, Autumn is my favourite time of year.
Thanks Karen, it is a lovely time of year for sure xx

The crazy world of Arthur brown sang Fire
I have to tell you that the Kuetaki Japanese watercolours are beautiful. Not only that but I have given them to my 34 year old son who throughly enjoyed them on a recent visit.
You Diane have inspired both of us. Thank you.
Good to know Robyn and thanks so much for sharing xxx
So enjoyed watching this and looking forward to seeing what happens when I try later.
Thank you so much for all you share with us, your art and also you as well. You always inspire me.
Love it. Beautiful colors!
I love the bright colors. I guess it is time that I get the set of gold paints. Thank you for the great ideas.
You are so welcome!
Gorgeous colours and lovely abstract piece. I’m loving this channel.
‘Fire’ was performed by ‘The Crazy World of Arthur Brown’ I about 1967/68 I think.
