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)
It's so easy to travel with. Love them!
Awesome
I love this!!! Thank you!

I have absolutely fallen in love with these five little guys. This painting is perfect in its simplicity.
Thank you so much Robin! So glad you enjoyed it! And thanks as always for taking the time to comment ❤️
I am a beginner watercolor artist and wanted to say how much I appreciated all your tiny tips and tricks. It made such a difference!! Thank you!!
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 ❤️
You’re so welcome and thanks so much for your comment. I’m so sorry about your troubles and wishing you peace and better times xxx
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!
Sorry for your bad day…but this precious painting would make anyone smile! ❤️ Thank you!
These birds are so adorable! I’m gonna put them on a birthday card. Thank you for your idea 💕
I agree with you Diane, painting is a good way to forget our problems. Thanks for sharing your art.
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 are so welcome!
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!❤❤❤
I experienced so much joy painting my little birds! Thank you for gently sharing your passion ❤️
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 😊
I’m rewatching all of your whimsical animals. Just love your style and approachable technique.💕
Thanks so much, really appreciate your support "Pooh"!!!!
Lovely way to start my day .Birds feeding outside Watching your water brush and paint create has
given me a new simple way to use my watercolors easily anywhere. Love your simplicity.
Thanks Gail. I'm in love with waterbrushes now!
Precious! And such a pretty girl or boy who came in for pets.
That was Lottie!!
I love this tutorial!! I've just started doing watercolor and I love birds. Thank you for posting. I followed along and didn't do too bad :)
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!
This is so cute. Hopefully you got the relaxation you needed from it. Thank you for the lovely tutorial.
My pleasure 😊 and yes, it was a relaxing paint!
It IS fun it IS pretty and it IS adorable and easy for even me!! I love wet on wet - never the same twice! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I live in the desert and your picture of the cacti is perfect. Love it. From Arizona😎🌵🌲
Miss the Southwest! Born in NM & just love AZ & our sunsets/sunrises and mountains ❤!
I'm home with a broken leg and decided to learn how to do water paintings. This might just be the cutest thing I've ever seen ❤❤❤
Sorry to hear about your leg, wishing you rapid healing and much fun with watercolors!
How absolutely lovely they look 😍.. Thank you for letting us watch you paint.
Love love love these birdies!!!! Thank you for sharing!!
I LOVE your background music choices, perfect, helps me get into that subconscious space where good painting comes from!
Glad you enjoy it!
So beautiful 😻
I love your painting style, this one is no exception…I love these cute birds, going to give them a try. 🙏🏼♥️
Thanks so much 😊
Such sweet birdies! Love the differing colors. Nice waterbrush tutorial.
Love these little birds! So cute! Thank you!
Thanks Susan, appreciate your input xxx
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 ❤
Wonderful! So glad you now feel like getting those brushes wet again! Have fun!
I’m so enjoying your presentations.
I'm so glad!
I did this one before I joined your channel. I love all the whimsical birds! They make me happy!
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 have watched a few of your videos and I think you are wonderful!!!
Love my waterbrush. Doing these birds this Saturday. Caroline in NC
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...
Hasn't it, Deb. Totally nuts. Hope you enjoyed painting the little birds!

Mr..f3 kbv.4g3
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 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!
These little guys are SO cute!! I just wanna thank you for this channel and these little birdies!!
I am new to watercolour painting and you are so inspiring. I have learn so much in such a short time from your videos x Thank you
I see I must give my water brushes a try. I love birds and these are super cute. Thank you for another great watercolor tutorial!
My pleasure 😊 and thanks Ann. I can't believe how liberating that waterbrush is! Try it on roses! Video coming up soon!
Love the little birds. I enjoy using a water brush when traveling.
Thank you
You're so welcome!
What an inspiration that was, so thank you. I gave it a go with my water brush and while it's not quite as cute as yours, I'm quite happy with it. Thanks again.
You are so welcome!
Lovely birds, another technique,another lesson and beautiful paint, Thanks Diane!!!
Thanks Adela!
Hi Diane! I'm a total beginner and this was my first ever watercolour tutorial! I love your teaching style, I feel so relaxed and really enjoyed it! Thank you for all your videos, can't wait to do more of your tutorials and see more of your adorable animals too! 😍
Hi Liz and welcome to the channel! So glad you found me and hope to see you here often!!
I gave this a try and it's so cute. Displaying this on my office table. Thank you!
Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed it! More little birds just went up now!
These were so cute. Gonna attempt to teach my high school homeschool group this project.
SImple yet beautiful. I'm going to practice these birds too! Thanks for idea.
You’re welcome 😊
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!
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
Oh my goodness! This is adorable!!!!
Thank you, what a great way to draw the birds, kind of an egg shape. They will be fun to paint and practice with the watercolor !
Hi Sue and welcome, so glad you enjoyed watching the birds! They are great fun to paint!
Gorgeous little birdies, thank you
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
What a good idea!
These five birds were a pick-me-up mood lifter. Great fun!
Glad you enjoyed it!
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!!
The birds are so very cute! I love birds, so this is one that would be fun to do, for sure! All your work is lovely!
Thanks so much 😊
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!
Thank you so much 😀 !!
Really enjoyed your tutorial, I am very new to watercolour at 63- thank you ….. tremendous
Love this so much! I can’t draw to save myself but might be able to manage these. And I’m amazed how the pencil marks just melted away too. So excited to have found your channel and I even have a golden retriever too called Bella who looks like she could be your dogs twin!
Oh how wonderful! I bet she's not as naughty as mine!
So fun and beautiful!
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 💞💞

Love the birds! Tell Tamsin that her excellent videography has not gone unnoticed. You can plainly see the care she takes with every shot it's what makes your video's such a pleasure to watch. The choice of music to go with the videos is also perfect! Thank you both for another super video. I am making use of the tip jar. 😉
Thanks Eileen, that's so good to hear, so glad the videos are hitting the spot! We certainly have had a lot to learn, and thank you again for your generosity and loyalty!

Lovely little birds!!
I love that the comment about french bureaucracy can be relevant at any time of any year!
This was adorable. I am going through a very stressful move & I think I will dig out my water brushes and see what I can do. Thank you for this.
You are so welcome! That's the great thing about those waterbrushes, they are so portable. And that's why I like the viviva colorsheets too. Fit in your pocket!
love the birds!
Really cheerful and fun tutorial, thank you so much!
Thank you!
So happy to find you! Lovely and inspiring! Especially your critters…live and painted!❤️
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel and I hope you enjoy very many of the videos and animals!
@@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 am going to paint the five birds as it’s one of my favorites you have done. I have water brushes but I have never used them.
I don’t use them very often but they are a nice change !
Thank you for your reply. I love your work!
Oh, wow!
Bravo! Really, so very instructive and relaxing to watch you work. Thank you!
Pretty cool! Your method really make it way simpler!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you! 😊
The birds amaze me I will try them thank you for showing us.
Thank you! Just started painting and I really enjoyed this.
Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed it!
