If you have lost patience with your waterbrush, get it out again and try these little birds! It's so easy to handle and makes watercolor painting so much easier! Once you've done the birds, then try some roses! I am astonished at how liberating these brushes are! Comment below please with any tips or experiences or questions you might have about how to use the Kuretake waterbrush which Viviva kindly gave me! (Here's a link to Kuretake waterbrushes - amzn.to/3yFCiRO)
Diane, I've been asking myself why I love your channel so much. It could be your calming voice, or your honesty in the way you approach your art, when you are not quite sure of which direction it's going to go, i.e. ink wash, no ink wash? Or as in this case, your comment...."Experimental, which may or may not work out." The photography, the soothing music, your paint strokes, the way you make every single piece of art come to life in a stunning and vibrant form, or your sweet farm animals. I've come to realize it is a combination of all that you and Tamsin have created and I am forever grateful for the gifts that you both are sharing with your fans. I love seeing your channel grow. Well earned XO
Carolyn, you are an absolute breath of vital energy! Just yesterday Tamsin was wondering aloud whether people could see how much work she puts into the videos and although I was saying of course they can, she isn't sure. Well, I'm sure, and you've confirmed that. She makes the videos into a little work of art in themselves, all I do is turn on the camera and say a little prayer! So glad you enjoy everything we do, we will keep doing it as long as people want it! Thanks again, and happy painting (and video watching!!)
I want to thank you for your channel. I’m going through a particularly difficult time and the “realness” of your commentary is SO calming and comforting to me, esp including the animals! Thank you so much for doing what you do ❤️
I think we can all sympathize! It's the whole planet that seems to have gone stupid. You are not alone. :-) Anyway, I'm going to give this a whirl! Love the idea...
I am finding your videos fun and relaxing to watch. At 75 I am trying to watercolor for the first time since childhood. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You’re paintings are absolutely beautiful. I had a giggle at your pets, my 4 dogs don’t leave me alone when I’m doing art and craft, I have to constantly break my concentration to make sure they are happy 😊
Hi Diane! I have missed several videos recently due to the acquisition of a new hip. As I am recovering, I'm thanking God for you and these lovely tutorials. I am unable to be in my garden and that REALLY FRUSTRATES ME!!!! Watercolor may actually save my sanity for the next couple of weeks. Now you can add mental health counselor to your already impressive resume! Please keep them coming!!!
Hi Trina, and so lovely to hear from you! I hope that you are recovering quickly from your op. What a horrendous thing to have to go through at this difficult time. But I bet you'll be up and hopping around like a spring chicken in no time at all, I've heard such good things about the benefits of that operation. I'm working hard at coming up with things that are easy and pleasing to do and I'm thrilled at the result of the little birds I just put up. Keep a look out and tonight there should be some easy to do flowers as well. I love this water brush and it makes doing roses, for example, ten times easier!!!! Thanks so much for your lovely appreciative comments, and I send you all my very best wishes for a quick and full return to your tennis playing days!
@@DianeAntoneStudio thank you for the lovely response. While tennis may not be in my future continuing to learn watercolor painting certainly is! Cheers!
Hello my friend. Checking in on this one again. A favorite of mine, so sweet. It makes me smile. Also reminds me to gat back to a lighter touch. Love it, cheers!❤️❤️❤️
@@DianeAntoneStudio yes, another favorite. Tried painting them once, with less than stellar Results, then got sidetracked! It’s time I tried again. Thanks for reminding me! And, yes, I agree with you. They are precious!XOXO❤️
I have enjoyed all your tutorials. I started watercolor painting a few years ago & then got discouraged. Then I found your web site & have really enjoyed your teaching method & all your wonderful tips in painting. Thank you for all your lessons on u tube. You have encouraged me to continue trying watercolor painting again. Thank you for what you do!
I have just completed your painting n sent the same to my friend Pradeepa as it is her birthday today. It has indeed come out well. Thank so very much. From Vijayawada, India
I absolutely LOVE this painting! The theme of my kitchen is birds! I want to try to make a painting similar to this to hang in my kitchen! I think it would brighten it up so much! Yours came out just beautiful! Thank you for sharing!❤❤❤
Over a year since you did this and the world has gotten even crazier! I am in the state of Florida so everything Covid has not affected us nearly as much as other states. I love wildlife, and these birds are adorable! I believe, if I can know when to stop, when enough is enough, that I could do this one. So much fun and thank you for sharing. Absolutely love your style and subject matter.
Oh wow! thanks so much for your wonderful comments, and I'm sure you'll manage these birds, they are quite simple. Maybe just do three to start with? Don't forget you can get a sketch of the design for free from dianeantone.com
I am sending your way many positive vibes☀️ and light. Watching you paint Diane is so relaxing💕☀️, what a great way to start my day. Many thanks for sharing your beautiful talents and big......creative world 💞💞
hi Diane even though you said not a work of "art" it's beautiful and I love the way the colors came together. First time I watch your channel and subscribed as I'm a beginner & love the way you explain how watercolors flow & do their magic. thanks for this tutorial
I love doing these watercolor birds. I have done them about 3 or 4 times! And I am not very good at drawing the birds, though. But I still LOVE doing them. There about the ONLY water watercolor pictures I know how to paint!
I have different water brushes that I haven’t used yet. The birds are perfect for using the water brush. I am anxious to try the bird painting. This is one of my favorite paintings. I have trouble drawing birds. You make them look so easy to draw.
I did this tutorial w/water brushes I have, which to be perfectly honest I had no intention of ever using. What a surprise! It was such fun! Thank you from a fan across the pond in the swamps (Florida USA)
@@DianeAntoneStudio -Diane, I am an 80 year young artist from California,USA. I have never worked much with watercolor. I recently found out I have AMD and it has severely limited my vision and what/how I paint. The reason I say all this is because your style of painting, the medium and loose/ casual approach has made it possible for me to continue painting! I am so grateful. So if you ever you think your wonderful videos are not making a difference….please think again!😋 Thank you.
I think you made a great difference in my art now! When I used to do art, I thought mine was horrible but now, I’m very good at it! You inspired me to believe in my art!
Love this, Just bought a set of 54 colors. Seems like a lot but the price was good to play around with. Thought they might serve well for a plein air outing! Thanks!!
They are adorable. Im putting off trying watercolours as I cant draw & not good with drawing perspective etc. Not sure how to overcome this. Any ideas ??? thanks
@@DianeAntoneStudio WOW WOW WOW....exactly what I have been wanting. Now I feel that I can finally start my watercolour adventure. I also subscribed to your website. Thank you so much Diane.
Really enjoyed watching this tutorial. I love your relaxed way of teaching. No stress. I have not touched my watercolours for over two years, but now am going to try and paint your 5 little birds. Thank you ❤
I love your paintings and the way you conduct and lead watercolor! I am now a great fan for you initiative to support animals! Thank you! I hope more people will help
So cute little birds ! Thanks for showing how to draw them. I will use the motive to compare simular colours from different brands, than it looks cute on the sketchbookpage
I’m away in my caravan just now and brought a few paint supplies, along with a water brush that comes in a set of 422 very thin colours that fan out. I mase this today and I really like the process. Thank you.

Just what I'm needing to paint to "get away". I really like the loose softness and colors. These birdies make me smile.
They are such cuties, aren't they!
LOVE these birds. Tried them years ago and just loved doing them again..
Your birds are incredibly adorable! It’s a wonderful watercolor painting.
Thank you so much 😀
I agree with you Diane, painting is a good way to forget our problems. Thanks for sharing your art.
