PAINT
Here is a link to a Winsor and Newton starters' paint box which would be ideal for a beginner.

This is a link to a Winsor and Newton Artists' quality box, which is ideal for a serious student.

TUBE PAINTS
I always have a tube of White Designers Gouache on hand for lights and corrections

These colours are very useful and don't usually appear in the sets the manufacturers make:
Naples Yellow
Quinacridone Gold
Permanent Rose
Indigo
Sepia
Neutral Tint
Vandyke Brown
Burnt Sienna

Sap Green

Paynes Grey

PAPER
Winsor and Newton Watercolour paper pad 140lb 9 x 12 inches ideal for all watercolour techniques.

Canson MONTVAL watercolour paper block 140lb 9 x 12 inches ideal for all watercolour techniques. Exceptional resiliance and easy to work with.

BRUSHES
Princeton do a good range of synthetic squirrel brushes. This is a size 10 round.
And Winsor and Newton Cotman brushes are also good. This is a size 10 round.

I often use a rigger brush (called script liner in the US) and this is a link to the Cotman range of riggers, this is size 1.
A size 3 would also be useful.

Watched this for the 2nd time. It's got to be the most informative that I've seen & absolutely lovely.

[Butterflygirl]

I love this. I’m going to give it a go today🤗

[posiesutton]

So inspired by this one. Quite striking! You answered several questions I had….after past rejects using the dark wash background.
Merci !❤️

[Simply.C]

Thank you for demonstrating this technique. Beautiful result.

Did you know a person can zoom in on a YouTube by just placing your fingers together on your phone screen then sliding them open?

I found this out a few months ago. It might have been available for a long time lol but I just learned of it. Hope your other subscribers know about that feature too.

I really enjoy being able to see what you do in a magnified way, at the same time being in control of seeing it full screen, if I zoom back out.

[juliekoshewitz]

I am brand new to watercolor and subscribed to your tutorials and joined your group. Your paintings are beautiful! I can’t wait to learn from you! Thank you for sharing.

I'm holding my phone when this video pops up that I've been waiting for for a very long time. From the first moment I saw this picture, I was taken with it. The strong blue background with the white daisies appealed to me right away. Now you even share the technique with us. Masking technik reminds me on Batik technik. Thank you so much, Diane.

PS: What is that sound? Do you have a metronome?

[rabenschwartz]

If you think about it correctly, it doesn't look like daisies, but like a night sky with stars

[abstractrealmz]

Found this and learned a lot. Definitely want to try this. Never used masking fluid yet. Thank you! You’re still my favorite. I like Denise Love too but have to mute her. The gorilla noises unnerve me. 💙🦋
