One Autumn Watercolor Idea You’ll Use Again and Again

Watch ad-free on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/collection/79329 Today we are continuing our autumn theme with a complete semi-abstract painting. We will create a delicate layered wash of glowing gold and russet browns, then add seed heads and autumn leaves in ink for contrast. If you've been following along with my recent videos, you'll be ready to take this next step. A real painting that simple, effective, and perfect to give as a small framed gift or to turn into a greetings card.

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 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 Diane Antone Studio makes a commission from sales made through the above links.* #dianeantonestudio #watercolor #art
