Gentle NO-PRESSURE Watercolor Tutorial | Let’s Take a Quiet Break for Ourselves

Join me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio When we feel overwhelmed it's easy to think we need to keep going at all costs, even though we know that letting go and calming your mind is usually what's needed! That's what I reminded myself as I sat down to paint these easy abstract shapes and doodles - and if you're in the same emotional place as I was, I hope you'll give yourself the gift of a quiet break to create a better mood for yourself, one brush stroke at a time.

They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/product.html —— ➡️ *Where You’ll Find Us* *Our Online Homes* Website: https://dianeantone.com YouTube: https://youtube.com/@DianeAntoneStudio Patreon: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Facebook: https://facebook.com/dianeantonestudio Instagram: https://instagram.com/dianeantonestudio Pinterest: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio *Our Facebook Communities* Facebook Members Only Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dianeantonestudiomembers Facebook Learn to Paint Watercolor Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnwatercolourpainting Diane Antone Studio makes a commission from sales made through the above links.* #dianeantonestudio #watercolor #art
