Great tip with the eyes on tracing paper. I just painted 2 of these. They came together so quickly and so much fun. Added a few embellishments with metallic watercolours. Definitely making one into a mother's day card. Loved this tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing Diane.
I just painted these as well. Turned out cute! Good idea on the metallic watercolor accents. I just bought some and haven't used them yet. I will paint these birds again and have fun with metallic accents! :-)
I agree about the tracing paper…great idea. I am not a painter but I make birds from another medium and the eyes are always a problem. I think the paper would work for that too. The whole thing comes alive with the minor details.
Love being encouraged to "Let the watercolour and the water do its own thing". At 80 I am loving learning to improve my painting skills, such as they are.
Wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing that beautiful comment Ann, I really appreciate it. Great to know that you are enjoying exploring painting and letting the paint have its way with you!
this video has made watercolor painting look so easy. I have the 140 lb paper and ordered some tubes of watercolor paint, but I don't know what kind of brushes to get. I am a little intimidated i have to say and don't want to invest a lot until i see that I am going to have fun and enjoy it. but, here goes !!!
Diane, I love your videos!!! I especially appreciate your darling birds. I really want to learn to paint them and your instruction is so clear. I love your British accent too. You can "umm" whenever you want. I never noticed. The person who made that comment is just a nasty person who is definitely on this earth to not spread joy. I'm so sorry it upset you!
My heart my heart is being so fast because I've never picked up a brush in my life and I feel like I've come home I'm just beginning this art Journey but I was never introduced to anything like this thank you so much for sharing your talent and this is day one for me so wish me luck
The tracing paper eye trick is something I've never seen before. Genius! And the birds are completely adorable. Thank you for sharing all this with us. 😊
The simplicity of these cute birds has a huge impact. What a fun whimsical way to learn how to paint with watercolor. So satisfying. Bring such happiness and joy.
I can see why this has over 500,or views. Such a quick fun way to get the most out of wet on wet. Bonus- there’s no wrong way to make these birds. Exactly what I needed today. Thank you.
🙏I am from India. very very beautiful. The way you gave a brilliant idea. Definitely i will try. I will make for my grand daughter. Thank you very much.
OMG! You’re a marvel. First time I’ve managed to paint something that looks like something that I also love. It was never fun like this at school! I’m 51. Thankyou!!❤❤
These little birds are so easy and so adorable that I'm now obsessed. I've painted them in various color schemes four times now since I discovered this video a few days ago . Thank you so much for this video!
I have retired recently and have found your channel. I just love it! I love starting with the colorful animals and they look darling when finished. I will continue watching and thank you so much for your easy instructions! I will continue experimenting!
These birds are so adorable. I can't wait to try this out. Your videos are so inspiring to me. Sometimes when I'm too lazy to paint myself, I just watch your videos and soon I get inspired to paint again.Thank you for these quality content videos.
I enjoyed your workshop tremendously I am 85 and have just started water colour paintting I learned a lot from you I will paint the birds myself THANKS A LOT 😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Q
New to water colours, after attempting and failing 50 years ago! I loved the easy bodies, wet on wet and then tried water colour pencils for the beaks, legs and eyes and I'm really pleased with the outcome. Thank you so much!
I am not an artist but I tried it. And i must say your methods makes water colours so easy to do....even i could create fairly decent birds. Thank you 🙏
What a wonderfully fun painting! I never would have thought that I could attempt this as a beginner, but I love how you demonstrated fearless creativity. I can hardly wait to try this!
Thank you so much Marisa, you will love doing these little birds and they offer so many possibilities for embellishing and variation! Greatly appreciate your donation, that's too kind xxx
Adorable! Like the tip on using tracing paper to "audition eye size, placement, and highlight! I particularly like the third one. 😄 He looks like he's got his bum up in the air! ❤❤❤
I just found you today and I have subscribed! I love the way you "test" the eyes - brilliant! I always have trouble with this and using the tracing paper so simple and effective. Thank You
That was so delightful! So cute! I’ve been doing watercolor and acrylic painting for my class,, and I’m not very happy with the results. I needed to find something fun, and happened to see your video. I love all the embellishments you did, with the eyes, beaks, and claws. Thanks for sharing!
Omg!!!!! Your tracing paper eye is a GAME CHANGER for me!!! I think you are the teacher who taught me to do angels 👼 I think whimsy trees too. These lil birds just melt my heart 💝💝💝
Love these cuties! A great way to learn to paint a bird! I’ve been nervous so haven’t tried yet. This tutorial is perfect for me. Thank you so much. I just started painting in January and am having so much fun ! Love the tracing paper ideas.
Welcome and thanks so much 😊 so glad you are enjoying learning to paint in watercolor! Lots of videos already for you to watch and more coming each week!
Brilliant! Just a brilliant tutorial. I have taken a lot of watercolour courses which all tried to teach me to paint something that looks "real". Discouraging. But what I really want to paint is exactly this. Loads of room for creativity and my own personality without being constrained by realism. And so lovely to give as gifts. Thank you!!! I'm inspired - off to paint some Spring in the depths of the Canadian Winter!
