Join us on Patreon https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio For years I thought that if I could just try a bit harder my watercolors would improve, but it never happened. Then I discovered the secret of the Law of Reversed Effort or “Caring Less” and everything changed. So let’s paint this easy, fun landscape together without a care in the world, and see what happens!

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://www.facebook.com/dianeantonestudio Instagram: https://www.instagram.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 Facebook Learn to Paint Mixed Media Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnhowtopaint *Our baby sister channel* Subscribe to @fromthegarden for behind the scenes videos of life on and around our little farm in Brittany, France
