I love this! I don’t know you personally, but you have such an encouraging easy way of teaching. It would be nice to sit and have a cup of tea with you, listening to your stories and background farm noises - splendid! Thank you for all you do ☕️
Diana, I just want you to know how excited I am to find you on TH-cam with these whimsical birds. I’ve always wanted to be able to watercolour, but drawing and painting is definitely not on my “gifted” list. BUT I can copy! And I absolutely love copying your gorgeous little birds. They certainly don’t look like yours, but doing them gives me so much joy. I live in Australia and I’m 76. So, you can teach an old dog new tricks. Thank you so very much. 😍😍😍😍
Welcome to the channel Bev, and welcome to the little group of Australian ladies who follow me on here, I love that you are here! Thank you so much for joining the channel membership. Copying is the best way to start, it’s how we all start, no matter what age we start at! You will soon find you branch out (excuse the pun) with the birds and create your own ideas! You certainly can continue to learn into your 70s, I hope so as I’m embarking on them myself in a few days (gulp!) - despite all my efforts to stay young it’s happening! Welcome again and please come back and comment often, it’s so helpful to us and I always try to respond to all comments from members. Have a great day, love Diane.
This little guy is so fun! I only discovered you a few months ago and I have to say that you are a great teacher! I began watercolor painting in the last six months or so and was trying to learn by myself and then I happened upon you and am now working my way thru all of your TH-cam videos. I didn't get the "great drawing gene" but with your easy to understand instructions I am learning. Thank you for helping this retiree find a way to spend her days creating fun and wonderful art to share with others...
Thank you for this! I’m finding the combination of watercolor and pen embellishment has helped increase my confidence and made my landscapes better because my water and brush control is better!🥰
Love this little bird. It makes me happy. Which is fantastic because right this minute, I am under the weather with a gastro intestinal bug. Many thanks to you for brightening my day. 😊
You’re so welcome Judit. So glad you enjoy them. In answer to your question, the one I find best so far is the Uni Ball Signo by Mitsubishi. Here’s a link: Uniball Signo Gel Pens amzn.to/3NPTqJd
I'm with Diane on the white gel pen from Mitsubishi!! (And there's me thinking they built cars!) Their Uniball white Gel pen is brilliant - It's very , very white. Mel in Devon 🍰🌻
I was looking for inspiration for my granddaughter who visits me daily in my craft room. We’re going to be working in our art journals and I thought your sweet little birdies would be nice. The birds singing in the background had me wondering if they were my birds. We have a nest of baby robins right outside my window up under the decking of the upstairs level of the house. There are four babies, only 10 days old and the mom and dad are busy keeping them fed. They grow up and leave the nest so quickly…it’s been fun to share the experience with my granddaughter (she’s seven😊). Thank you for sharing your time with us, I always feel contented and inspired at the end of your videos.❤
Thanks so much for sharing this lovely comment, so wonderful that you have been able to share the experience with your granddaughter and I’m sure she will remember it forever! Thanks also for your kind words about the channel, so much appreciated xxx
Love this bird like always Diane. You are so inspiring... I love that i can hop on TH-cam almost everyday and find a video from you.. I really want to try this and send it to my Granddaughters... Hugs! deb
Omg, you have a hedgehog. I’m so jealous. I love them even though I’ve never seen one up close and personal. The same with sloths, birds, butterflies, etc. and I love your doodle birds. I’m still trying to learn to do these doodles. Love bird a day. Doodle, doodle and keep doodling. Oxoxoxo
Hi Denorah, and thanks for your cute comment!!! We had to let the hedgehog free and I hope he‘s managed to survive - he decided he was recovered and he let himself out of his cage. But it was fun while we had him, and I had never seen a hedgie up close - they are surprising animals with much longer legs than you think, and huge appetites!!! Good luck and have fun with your doodling!
Here from Lisa's channel, House of Jane. She shared how to make these little birds. This might not be the same video she watched, but the bird is similar and I really like it. I am loving it so far. Need to get to bed, will finish watching tomorrow. 👍😴
Hi daisy, thanks so much for your kind words! Don’t forget to check back in the channel for all the older videos - there are lots of whimsical ones in the back catalogue!
Diane, I love this intuitive doodle bird! There's something so magical about the way you sketch and paint. I love the little feet on the bird and those knees couldn't be cuter. One could go on and on with the possibilities and this truly is a calming little love bird. Thank you Diane.
I am back to finish watching. I love all the little doodles you added to your bird. Thanks for adding the links to the pens and paper below. The white pens I had, that came with a stationery set, have dried up. I plan on ordering the ones you used after I get moved. Hope the little hedgehog is OK. Have a wonderful afternoon. 🌴🌺😊❤
I do hope your hedgehog recovers. I think that as long as an animal is eating well, it’s probably OK. So here’s hoping! Your birds are always so cheerful and obviously make everyone happy.
It was so neat that I made a bird card for a friend and then turned on You Tube and here you are painting a very cute bird! This LOVE BIRD is a beauty!
I got zen doodle books from kindle unlimites. Working my way through them. They really calm me down. Also, using classical music while painting. I found my happy spot. Thank you Diane!
@@DianeAntoneStudio I don't use it as much as I ought. I like it. Usually the suggested books in any subject are excellent, and the subjects are wide. At first it was canning and camping food, then all kinds of art, once it was making gifts of all kind, like wax in a glass jar for scented candles. If you have real eclictic needs, not so much. I got all kinds of beginner books on pastel painting and watercolor, enough that I abandoned my art teacher at the community college. You were real helpful in drawing me to what I want to learn or expose myself to.
I am a beginner, and my husband bought some Australian paints that you mentored in one of your videos, and a small, hard-cover cold-press journal from our local art shop for me for Christmas, and my first painting in it was one of your videos of little birds. Thanks you for being so inspiring. I just read your post about how to support the channel, so here is my first comment!
Hi Julie, that‘s wonderful, was it Art Spectrum paints he bought you? They are really great, I love the Australian colours like Australian Green Gold, Pilbara Red and Australian Red Gold and more. So glad you are enjoying the videos! Please thank him for me for encouraging you to paint! Great guy!
Yes, that's them! I also love Australian green gold and red gold, but my favourite is the olive green permanent. I also drove a loooong way to buy quinacridone gold by Daniel Smith, which you've used quite a bit and I now love. Thank you for inspiring beginners like me. And I have to say, I also enjoy the way you use other mediums like pens and inks etc. I love using those to pep-up my paintings. And, yes, he IS a great guy! 😊
I just love the Meeden colours they are so bright and cheerful. I do love your whimsical birds Diane they are such a delight and with the colours they just seem to put you in a lovely frame of mind for the day. This little bird could have been a PRIDE bird as I think I read somewhere yesterday it has been Pride day lately and it was these bright colours they seem to use. Thankyou again for all your hard work and expertise even when you are feeling winky wonky. You do make me giggle he he!!!! XX ❤
They are nice and vibrant, aren‘t they! Yes, I realised after I painted it and Tamsin mentioned Pride. I‘m not really up to date on that! Much better today!
I love your birds! I ordered two blocks of Meeden wc paper. I havent used block paper in years, looking forward to not using tape! Have a happy week, Deb Pate
Yes Deb, it’s quite liberating! Suddenly everyone seems to be making it, they must have invented a new machine! Meeden are going to be producing new sizes and new surfaces soon, I’ll be letting everyone know when it comes to pass. Meanwhile I’m enjoying the smaller pieces of paper, their price can’t be beaten!
Thank you for sharing this with us and making videos, they always make me smile and relax me. I'm not sure what it is, but it does. Also, maybe your birds and animal sounds in the background help along with your talking. Have a great day
Thank for sharing your talent with us and for being such a calming presence. The quote you shared was spot on--art is so tremendously important and much needed in our lives!❤☺
Hi Diane, your art is sooo inspiring, I absolutely love everything you paint, I have done a similar bird so many times, but your one is the best, I started the simple shape with my grandkids 20 yrs ago, but prefer your shape, so I shall let my bird evolve into a new shape, thank you so much for sharing,, i always do the curly buts on the head, so glad i have found your site 🥰🥰 have a wonderful day, and yes could hear the hirds outside 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thanks so much 😊Barb, I really appreciate you taking the time to send me a message! So glad you are a bird painter and the simple shapes are the best, they are so friendly! I’m so glad you found us too, and I hope you subscribe and come back often!
I'm glad you used the Meeden paint. I like mine but I haven't done much with them... I made a limited palette, I started with sap green and chose pale yellow because it has the same pigment. Then Crimson, Brilliant Purple, and Cobalt. I do believe this is the perfect paint along for me.
Thanks Windy Wednesday! I love the paint, it is so nice and vibrant and keeps all its colour when dry. And I LOVE that I don’t feel bad about washing my brush off between colours. It really helps with the clean and colourful effect! Let me know what you think about them going forward x
@Diane Antone Studio Yes! That was my first thought. I can get these huge puddles of Juicy watercolor and mix to my heart's delight and not feel bad about wiping the pallet clean afterward. Very fun.
@Diane Antone Studio Wow- wow, wow. I wanted to try out a new notebook for paint sketching (Talens art creations), so I thought I'd give this bird a try. I was worried that I had the paint too watery because I'm working from dried pans, but this paint seems to be even more vibrant dry than it was wet! ...even on "ivory" paper! The first layer is beautifully transparent, but you can definitely see the opacity in the second layer. I have seen somebody on TH-cam who works with opaque watercolors (that are Not gouache), but I don't understand what their strengths are or how to use them to manipulate the image. I'm going to try this bird again at least one more time to see if I can't get the hang of these water colors. I'll try using real w.c. paper next time, too. Cheers.
I’m fine Mary, and I wonder whether TH-cam changed your setting… they seem to have unsubscribed some people, including me, from people I was following… Hope you’ve got it turned on again now!
I wonder. Did you do neurgrphic art before someone called I that. I know I did. Some of my favorite doodles while in school. I'm a senior citizen now. It is nice that someone found a name for it.
I absolutely adore this bird ❤❤❤❤. I also appreciate the quote, if possible can you spell the author’s name, so I can locate the exact wording of it? Thanks 👩🎨🎨
Hi and welcome! The person I quoted is Hans Wilhelm and the video about art was this one: th-cam.com/video/cZU8mfSad9E/w-d-xo.html Hope you find it interesting x
The best white pen I have found is the Uniball signo gel one. My daughter is very grown-up now, almost as old as me! She’s 45 - I was very young when she was born!
Polkadots (poke a dot) - We poke, to make one little dot, OR we poke many times to make many dots, (…………. ). Thus, Polkadots. 🤔 - I’m sure I’m wrong but that’s how I see it. 🙂😉😊 hee! hee! hee!
I love this! I don’t know you personally, but you have such an encouraging easy way of teaching. It would be nice to sit and have a cup of tea with you, listening to your stories and background farm noises - splendid! Thank you for all you do ☕️

This bird project was just delightful. Such a cute bird
Diane I so enjoy your teachings and whimsical bird paintings. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thanks so much Jane, and you’re the first to know that we have a new Paint a Bird a Day series coming up mid October, so hope you’ll enjoy that!
A very beautiful love bird. Just what I needed
Love this way of painting! So whimsical ❤❤❤

I love this cute and colourful bird!! Thank you so much for showering us with your gifts every day! 💕😊
Which is your favourite white gel pen, Diane? I find that some of them are not white enough.

This was a lovely video to watch on a snowy day in Colorado after an sad election.
So glad you enjoyed it!
You right art does make you forget your troubles
Thanks.
We do need plenty of that, don’t we Angela! So glad you enjoyed this one!
Thank you so much for your time and talent. I love the bird a day.
You are so welcome Linda, we do need to paint our blues away some days, don’t we!
Very bright love bird 🐦
Many many thanks
Just followed along, painting this whimsical bird. Happy with the results. THANK YOU for sharing your time and skills!!!
My pleasure 😊
Such a fun carefree bird to paint! Thank you!
My pleasure 😊 and I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I'm finally catching up with your videos. This bird is terrific!
Thanks Diana!
Cute little fellow…quite right about art helping to relax & lighten up our lives🙂
Thanks Linda, it is, isn‘t it!
That cute birdie looks like a patched blanket (pretty quilt)
Ah, yes Lily, you’re right! He’s not unlike one of my crochet blankets come to that!

Hi Mary, thanks so much for your comment, so glad you enjoy them, which ones have you done? Would love to see them on Facebook!
So cute. Love your work.
What a happy bird. Love it
Thanks Mary!
Love these types of whimsical birds. Looking forward to seeing more whimsical art.

Thank you so much Carolyn! So glad you enjoyed him, he was a lot of fun and has many possible incarnations!
I can feel myself relaxing while I watch this! Really fun!
I‘m so glad!
So cute!!❤

I do hope your hedgehog recovers. I think that as long as an animal is eating well, it’s probably OK. So here’s hoping! Your birds are always so cheerful and obviously make everyone happy.
He’s running free now, I think he just needed feeding up and a dose of antibiotics! Thanks so much for your kind comments xx
It was so neat that I made a bird card for a friend and then turned on You Tube and here you are painting a very cute bird! This LOVE BIRD is a beauty!
Wonderful! So glad to hear that Patricia, keep on painting!
Really darling Diane!! Thank you!

So whimsical and cute! The colors and designs give a happy appeal!
I love this style!!!!

Thanks so much!
I never get tired of watching you paint ... even if I don't paint them myself. Thanks so much for brightening my day.
My pleasure Diana, and I hope that sometimes you do get your brushes wet - xx😊
So cute!!
What fun!
Thanks Stella, glad you enjoyed it!
So adorable! I love how whimsical it is.❤

I think I‘ve always tended to doodle a bit like that, but the rounding off of the crossing of the lines is different to mine…
Diane, which is your favourite white gel pen?
Uniball Signo Gel Pens amzn.to/3NPTqJd is my favourite Judit!
I absolutely adore this bird ❤❤❤❤. I also appreciate the quote, if possible can you spell the author’s name, so I can locate the exact wording of it? Thanks 👩🎨🎨

Caroline here...beautiful bird. Live the doodles.never have found a white pen that works well.
How old is your daughter?
The best white pen I have found is the Uniball signo gel one. My daughter is very grown-up now, almost as old as me! She’s 45 - I was very young when she was born!
♥️
Thanks Denise!
How do I get in touch of your download sketches to water-colour?
Did you also say some are free?
All the sketches are free or you can pay whatever you choose, on our website. Here’s the link dianeantone.com/free-downloads/
How fun…
Thanks Ginette!
What size were those brushes?
I almost always use a size 8 and a size 12 round. And if I need something smaller, a size 5 or 6. Hope this helps!
Polkadots (poke a dot)
- We poke, to make one little dot, OR we poke many times to make many dots, (…………. ).
Thus, Polkadots. 🤔
- I’m sure I’m wrong but that’s how I see it. 🙂😉😊
hee! hee! hee!
Sounds like a reasonable explanation!!
