Love these birds! I had 3 children spend the day last Saturday, for several hours. Their mom was here, with my son, and I had two projects ready for them. I had watercolor cards ready, and demonstrated how to paint one of your blobby birds. They were 2nd grade, 4th grade, and 6th grade. Two girls ad one boy. They had a great time, and did great work, and added lots of details that I hadn’t added to mine. Age didn’t matter…the all did a great job and had fun and created art to be proud of. Thank you so much!
Your voice, your conversation (just as you are) and your watercolor creations calm me and make me feel I too can create such beautiful whimsical creations. Please don’t change a thing and ignore those who are negative.
I love watching AND listening. Your voice is calming, and even if I have to replay your video several times before I “get it” I never tire if your voice. Thank you for everything.
When people are negative to me I have two usefull phrases I think of. --"That is what you think". -to remind myself that it is what they think & that is all it is. Also- "I have quite enough of my own negativity, thankyou, I can do without anyone elses." I do not know how that dark line appeared through some of my comment, it is all relevant.
What kind of cynic could possibly be negative about spending half an hour or so in calming relaxation? And watching how to paint darlin' birds that would make you the envy of all your pals! I agree with you, Patricia, I'm not sure how they would come out, but I'm gonna have a blast trying! It's one of very few things at which it's OK to fail-or fall short-and enjoy yourself!
I know this is probably more than a year back in the past, but at the end I couldn't help but think, 'that's three days down!', and very pretty too. Thanks for sharing this.
I just started playing with a cheap travel watercolor set this week. This was such a fun video that even a complete newbie like me could put into practice immediately. I like these stylized birds. Since my mom used to do watercolor painting years ago, and she has a birthday coming up, I thought about painting a card for her. One of these birds with the punny “Hoppy Bird-day” on the front was perfect! Thank you for the idea and the quick tutorial.
Could you make one of these birds facing front? I'd be curious to see how you'd do it, since every one of your birds, from tail to eyeballs, is just so darn cute! Thanks for what you do for us!
Adorable again. I’d also like to encourage all of you to give it a try and please post! I’m sure Diane would love to see all your cute birds. I would. Happy painting everyone 🎨😄
You always able to make a blob looking cute and fun . Thanks for the tip on the uniball white pen, I always thought that I just keep buy bad ones, I've never had any luck with them. Thanks for sharing Diane 🌸💜
You make me smile as you are so chatty and encouraging. Also it helped me realise I don't need to try to do botanical illustrations. Your Little birds are SO CUTE and achievable. Thank you.
I have SO enjoyed your whimsical series of tutorials, but I have always done them by tracing your sketches first. Thank you for this tutorial WITHOUT a sketch - it has inspired me to try "on my own!" And as Maria Cheung noted, the advice on using the white pen really helps - I was getting frustrated with mine!
I love watching these little birds, full of personality , appear under your hand. I like it when you haven't quite decided what you want to do or maybe you're experimenting w/ an unususl paint, which I understand Qors is. It's really helpful to watch how you navigate the process...TY ! 😊
Thanks so much for these comments! I really always hope that people will get something out of following along with my process of exploration! I do think painting should be an exploration and not just copying. That Qor paint is very interesting!!
Thank you always for the joyful videos. Love the vibrancy and stance of these cuties. Will put into practice, paint a bird today makes any sadness go away. Love it. Thanks so very much again for all you create, play and share with us. Blessings, Love and Peace
Hi Aline, thanks so much for your lovely comment, I am so glad you are finding the videos helpful. I'm going to paint a bird a day too, in fact I might put together a little sketchbook and add a saying to each bird. Maybe I'll even do a video of that! Thanks so much for being out there for us, best and happy painting x
Thank you Diane. Had a bunch of fun painting these into the evening last night. Quick question..do you prefer subscriptions here on YTube or Patreon? I'm on both and wondered if you had a preference for your subscribers ;)
Postscript to my previous comment: I just investigated the "community" tab for the first time - I didn't realize there were so many posts to enjoy - I have only been seeing the ones on Facebook. Looks like I will have to do some reading later and catch up! Also, I just joined your TH-cam channel as I think, because of you, I'm in this "watercolor adventure" for the long haul and I want to get as much advice from you as possible! Can't wait to investigate all the perks!
My 47 th. This morning we where in colmar and this evening we are staying for a few days at the Mont Blanc region. So the environment is totally different but...the lessons and the relaxation time with you stay the same thanks god.🎉😂. See you at the 48 wim
Love your birds. And I love trying the technique myself. I think you are my favorite watercolor artist. 👩🎨 What do you do with all of your paintings? I’m collecting so many of my own. 🤣 The smaller ones I can make into cards but what about ones that are this size? Keep up the videos. I SO enjoy watching.
Hi there, and thanks so much for your comments! Very kind of you to say so! What do I do with all my paintings? All the video paintings are in drawers stored according to subject. Some of the best ones that I like I frame and put on the wall! Some of them I give away! So glad that you’re enjoying what I do and doing lots of your own work too❤️
Love these cute birdies! I don't know if you have or even like the Derwent inktense watercolor pencils. I have a set I'd 12 I'd like to gift to you if you have a PO box. You may already have this set.
Hi Cathy, That’s incredibly generous of you! I don’t have a set and I have never tried them but several people have mentioned them! I’ll be happy to let you have my address if you want to send them to me! It’s a very simple address. Just drop me a line at my email through the website and I’ll let you have it! Thanks again, that’s a lovely thought, really appreciate it!

I like that, paint a bird a day...make depression go away. I need that for sure. Lovely little birdies
I think I'm going to do it as a warm up each day!

Is the paper different? The way the colors blend differently,Very pretty
I was using Bockingford for this one. I think I used Arches for the last three in a row...
Those fat birds are way to cute!!!!
Love these cute birdies!
I don't know if you have or even like the Derwent inktense watercolor pencils.
I have a set I'd 12 I'd like to gift to you if you have a PO box.
