Diane I love the way you draw and paint. Have you been painting a long time. I started painting in 2014 and I’m not at ease as you are with my drawing and painting. Well I’m better at my painting. I do try and practice every day.
Love this! It will be one I will try🍂🍂🍂🍂❤️
👍👍👍
As some say, "Happy Pumpkin Season"
My favorite seasons are spring and fall. The colors are just amazing.
Thank you Diane. I dream, that one day you will make a watercolor tutorial, on a cute Alpaca or llama animal.
So beautiful and colorful!❤
I am often told by my daughter thats its like taking a 2 Yr old for a walk. I'm 80 and I just can't resist the colourful Autumn Leaves, the beautiful shiny conkers and the abundance of seed pots and acorns. I do occasionally get to paint them too, but mainly I just love collecting them.
Sooo pretty ❣️
Love your art ‼️
Enjoyed my morning visit Diane.. I made it about halfway thru… That calls for a second cup of coffee! But first i must walk….. I've been sketching some koi in my Art Journal as i watch your video.. You always encourage me to draw.. Great video! Thank you ! Hugs! deb
Very inspiring, thanks so much.
Very,very kind! I love autumn. Thank you very much. Excuse my scholastic english. The colors of fall is graceful.
I look always your pictures but i don't able
to paint.I have all materials but i'm afraid at to take the brush.
I'm fool!
Njoyed watching you create Autumn, and, Wow love the "From the Garden site" will be looking at those videos for sure, thx Diane
Our leaves are just starting to turn here in Oregon. I think I will go collect some. You inspire me. Thank you!
Loved this. I thought your background was beautiful. The painting seemed perfect before, but with that extra detail, wow! Thank you Diane another amazing painting.
Inspiring! your years of experience make it look easy:)
A truly beautiful card. As always you make it look so easy ❤
You’ve inspired me. I live in a townhome community In southwestern Pennsylvania. Certainly not a farm but when I took my walk today I collected the beautiful leaves of all shapes and colors and now I am pressing them and tomorrow I will put mod podge on them to preserve them. Then I will use them for a watercolor reference. I wish I had acorns and oak leaves! But I will copy yours thanks to you! I enjoy your videos more than you can ever know. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the beautiful whimsical paintings and inspiration that you share. I feel like I know you!
This is si timely! I just returned to Australia yesterday from England and France. We don’t have oaks here so I’d picked up a leaf and sketched around it while I was there, but I couldn’t find any acorns. Your painting is lovely and sketchy and just what I’d like for my journal. Thanks so much . I’ll be coming back to this video when I’m over jet lag.
💜💜💜
So lovely! ❤
Absolutely gorgeous ❤
I´d love to have trees like those in my garden. Those leaves look so pretty, really. Your painting is lovely too! 🥰😍
I love your loose style! I get so wrapped up with trying to make everything look exactly like my reference! It's stressful! This was lovely!
This is absolutely beautiful ❣️
So pretty … thank you so much … love your vids ♥ by the way …. its always time to add gold to a picture LOL
