Whimsical Watercolor Birds for Beginners - Easy Tutorial to Master Wet in Wet and Pen and Ink
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- Today I'm painting three whimsical birds with a vintage feel, using a few colors selected from two sets of Daniel Smith watercolor tubes - the set of six Primatek colors, and the set of six Jean Haines All That Shimmers colors. I am painting wet in wet on a 100% cellulose paper, Etival by Clairefontaine, and I am using Sennelier Walnut colored ink with a dip pen for the lines. Come and join me for this calm and relaxing tutorial narrated in real-time with the sounds of our smallholding in the background, and without music.

Oh Diane....these three happy little guys are adorable! I love the whimsical and vintage look of this painting. Your use of wet on dry for the birds was brilliant, as it gave it the look of soft feathers.The shimmer paints you used added such unique and lovely touches on the bird's chests, as well as the leaves. Oh, and your very creative approach of using the tracing paper to line up the eyes will save me many a paintings. I can't tell you how many times my bird's eyes or beaks don't line up. I love learning from you. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
So nice of you Carolyn to share all your thoughts about the video and the painting, thanks so much, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! Sometimes the simplest things turn out to be the most useful don't they! By the way, your tea towel (dishcloth) is hanging in the studio, your oil is on my desk, the little book is on the shelf above the desk. All so appreciated x
@@DianeAntoneStudio Oh how sweet! Just knowing the tea towel is hanging in your studio is heartwarming. Every stitch was stitched with intention so I'm happy you are enjoying it. The farm life theme I thought was very fitting for you. I think most all of your followers agree, your love for animals and the way you share little bits of your farm life with us is an added bonus to your lovely art channel.
@@carolyndaughton3373 I agree with you! Completely!! We are definitely loving Diane’s love of farm life along with all her beautiful paintings, instructions and tips 💗
@@trishwoods Isn't she the best! I retired in early 2020 and shortly after found her channel. Now I'm back substituting at the school and have shared her channel with staff and students. I love seeing her channel grow. I share it with everyone I know. So calming, positive, and therapeutic.
@@carolyndaughton3373She really is! I don’t follow a lot of artists because I have limited time. The few I follow, I share because I love them! She adds to my joy and I appreciate her so much!
LOVE it without the music! Great to watch and hear.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Rehardless; birds chirping in the background, what lovely music too my ears. 😉
Thank you so much for the no music! Love hearing your thought process ❤️
So nice of you, thanks so much, and I'm glad you enjoy it!
I loved the rooster crowing!😍😍😍
I love this without the music and just being able to focus on your words ….many thanks for sharing❤️🙏🏼
Sending you big, warm grandma hugs from across the pond❤❤ Be sure to put a jot (or lot) of brandy in this evening's cup of tea. I watched last week's bird tut and couldn't wait to open my graphics program to do what you taught us! I don't use Photoshop or Gimp, so I recreated your precious goofy birds using smudge and liquify. Also picked up materials from TopStar over at Fabrica. Too cool, Mrs. Antone! Thank you.
This is the first time I have watched you! Personally, I am a music free tutorial lover! Love the birds and so appreciate your tute! I will check out your others!
So nice of you, welcome to the channel and I hope you enjoy them!
Enjoying the quiet simplicity of your style and work...thank you!!
These are so darn cute! Really liked how they turned out! Also loved the lack of music, and hearing the birds instead..... that cockerel was an added bonus!! 😁🥰
Thanks so much! 😊 To music or not to music, that is the question!
You are on a roll. You're making me happier every day. All these delightful creatures are just what I needed right now.
So nice of you, thanks so much, and I'm glad you enjoy it!
I loved the eye trick!
I have been wanting to paint... I got my supplies and you are just the perfect teacher! So we shall see❤
Hi Dianna, and welcome to the channel and the wonderful world of watercolor! Have fun!!
Thank you Diane…I do enjoy the painting when I can go over the painting with a pen…who knew😉
I have a tremor, and these are exactly the style painting I always look for. Just love the whimsy. Thank you so so much, Diane.
I have tremors also and I just incorporate it into my style.
So nice of you, thanks so much, and I'm glad you enjoy it!
Here's the link to the free sketch for today's painting! dianeantone.com/product/three-whimsical-birds-sketch/
oh! could had been caterpillar too! anyhow .. it's beautiful
I much prefer watching videos without music too. I prefer natural sounds.
Same here and yes, nature sounds would be ideal!
So fun! Love the “bird music” in the background! Nature’s Perfection 🕊🦜🦆🦅
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@DianeAntoneStudio 😻
I like music with your videos
I love the music and the nature sounds❤
Your music is always nice, but I especially love the music your little birds in your trees are cheerful and perfect!! I wouldn’t change anything about your tutorials. ❤️
Thank you very much! I'll do my best to keep things the same Posie!
Another visit from the sweet little birds. Love how they can sit anywhere. Think I’ll put mine on a fence. Great way to keep painting when time is short. Thank you.
I love this tutorial and the sound of the birds and roosters in the background. Just wonderful. Thank you
I love them so much. And I enjoy you and your work so very much as well... you are delightful.
Thank you so much! That’s really kind of you!
Thank you again Diane! I’m so happy every day I see a new video of yours appear! You are my absolute favorite 😍
So nice of you, thanks so much, and I'm glad you enjoy it!
So looking forward to summer. We just had a blizzard and got close to 2 feet of heavy wet snow. Needless to say clean up has been tiring. Looking forward to spending time in the garden. Hope your husbands hand heals quickly.
All better now, and looking forward to another summer!
Hi, Diane,
Your art makes me smile and want to paint, too! You have such a peaceful presentation style and it is a pleasure to watch while you compose art. Thank you for sharing your talent🤗
Just did this one last night. Love these birds. I am 70 and learning and enjoy listening. I made the top bird a little bigger by accident and am calling him the daddy bird. LOL. There are so many of your videos I want to do.
Oh! PS... The birds are Tooo Cooot!!!
I just love watching you create and I have been trying to make my own little paintings from all these wonderful videos. I Love that we can be creative for 20 minutes and get a satisfying little sweet painting from it. It gives some relief from the very involved complicated landscapes that I have been trying to do. These make really sweet cards and bookmarks. Thank you for sharing! It means the world to me.
Thanks so much Vivian 😊 I totally understand what you mean, it is often too much of a challenge to undertake a big painting which might not turn out well - why not have fun!
My kitty, Houdini, is watching you draw. We're only at the first stage using the pen drawing the vines. Can't wait to see her reaction when she sees the birds! She'll probably go run and hide.
Sweet! So glad she's enjoying it!
These are so cute. Loving playing with the kitties, pups and birds. Thank you Diane, as always you make us smile and giggle with your whimiscal, loose watercolor tutorials. Blessings and peace.
So nice of you, thanks so much, and I'm glad you enjoy it!
Enjoying these yesterday. I make little greeting cards for friends and these are perfect. Thank you Diane.❤️❤️
Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed them!
These videos are so inspiring for me; I haven’t been painting much this winter, but now I’ve pulled out my paints again! I also love the ‘nature sounds’ in the background. Today I heard the dog and a rooster, on another video I think I heard a sheep! So much fun. Cheers!
Thanks so much Barb, I'm glad you enjoy the nature sounds! Really good to hear that you have started to paint again, it's so good for the soul x
Absolutely lovely - loved your previous birds as well. I do love walnut ink, it has a warm quality to it and a touch of gold can go a long way in a watercolour! Thank you for sharing this! xx
Oh cool, this gives me an excuse to use my dip pen, I forget about them sometimes.
Love these little birds, so cute. I can't wait to try them tomorrow. These paints are lovely.
So nice of you, thanks so much, and I'm glad you enjoy it!
Thank you! These birds were very fun to paint!
Buenas tardes soy Merche y te sigo desde Madrid España, darte las gracias por tus dibujos que a mí particularmente me encantan te mando un gran abrazo y sigue así por favor
Me encanta que te gusten mis videos y dibujos, te mando muchas gracias y feliz pintando!
Hello, dear Diane!
Just popping in to tell you hello and to tell you that you never cease to amaze me! Such adorable little birds that absolutely make my heart smile! 😃You make some of the simplest things absolutely lovely! And those little curly tails! 😍
Haven’t been able to paint for such a long time, but I’m sure I’ll get back to it one day. In the meantime, I’ll just paint vicariously through you. 😉☺️
I hope you’re all well, the ladies continuing to lay bountifully? And your beloved dogs, adorable…there’s just nothing like the love they give. ♥️
Hoping that your husband’s hand is healed up by now. That must’ve been a bad cut. Those are heavy tools that can do a lot of damage quickly.
Take care, dear one.
Much love and many blessings to you and yours!
PS: I miss the music. 😉
You have such good taste in music. I find it very relaxing and enjoyable.
Hi Jacqui, lovely to hear from you, I think it's been a while since I saw a comment from you? I hope you're keeping well xx Yes, my husband's hand is now long in the past and since then he's had a major hernia repair operation and is undergoing physio for the severe nerve pain he has in his back and leg. Plus he is having treatment for a small skin cancer lesion on his head! He's a bit of a health disaster basically! So glad you are enjoying watching the videos, but it's a shame you aren't able to do any painting yourself.I hope you come back to it soon. We are all well thanks, and the ladies are laying well although in the last year we have lost 6 to old age and now only have 7 including the cockerel we are getting more than enough eggs! Sorry about the lack of music. It's basically to save time, as putting the music in place takes a lot of work and Tamsin is under a lot of pressure - she does put music in the shorts but not in the full-length videos any more. I might try to persuade her to musically accompany one once in a while though. I miss it too myself. Thanks again for your lovely kind message, and I'm sending love and prayers your way also. Hugs to you and yours, Diane xxx
@@DianeAntoneStudio so wonderful to hear back from you! But it’s always a joy, when I do. It has been a while. 😊
I’m trying to get an eBay store up and running, and it’s been a pretty big undertaking for me. Trying to do something that will help allow him to retire before too many more years. I’ve gotten most of the red tape behind me, and am starting to list items. It just takes forever! I admit that I’m pretty slow at it. eBay just wants so much info on each item! Too much, really. More than the customers will even read, most likely. But, it must be done.
I hope to start listing my vintage jewelry soon. 😉 it’ll be particularly difficult, but hopefully will pay off! 😃 I have so much inventory!
I’ll be praying extra for your dear hubby. Sincerely, I do hate he’s facing so much. I, unfortunately, understand all too well. I pray it’s all over soon. I’d imagine that being a farmer, it’s especially hard for him to slow down and take care of himself. I know that my husband is pretty stubborn about it. Can’t hardly get him to slow down at all. I think he thinks himself still about forty years younger than he is…or so he tries to act…working in that summer heat! I love him so much, don’t want anything to happen to him!
I can tell by the videos that your continuing on at a tremendous speed! Thank you for blessing me, and others so much with your gift.
Take care of yourself! You’re the only you that we’ve got! 😊
Jacqui
♥️
I painted your whimsy birds last evening as a gift for my sister who is in hospital. I think it will cheer her up every day. Wanting to thank you for this I was hoping to find “Super Thanks” within the UA-cam video, it’s so easy to use, but instead came across your PayPal Tip Jar, which is brilliant! THANK YOU for providing me such a sweet cheerful image, with accompanying tutorial, to brighten my sister’s days until she is better again. You have such sweet paintings that feel so warm and good. 🙏 💜
Adorable! I’m going to go try this now. Thanks for the inspiration you are a sweetheart
So nice of you, thanks so much, and I'm glad you enjoy it!
Cuties!
I love your paintings of little birds, dogs, and cats. So cute
Thanks so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment!
I love these! Going to use these in Thinking of you cards and get well if mine turn out. Yours are stunning with the colors you and embellishments you chose! Thank you for everything you do! Prayers your husband heals soon! 💕
Thank you so much!
they are so sweet
Thank you! Now I want to buy that paint set, ink and a dip pen! Really sweet painting. And I love your calming voice and the farm sounds in the background. ❤️

Lovely
These birds are darling. I retired in October and my friend talked me into some local painting classes. I’m so glad she did! I am enjoying your channel so much. It is inspiring!
Oh wow! What a good friend! I know you’ll be doing a lot of this now!
Couldn't stop notice the name of Professor Pavel ,Paul in English 😁 Piskarev ,on the side of your working space .
Good afternoon 🌞
Lovely composition, easy to follow tutorial,i have enjoyed every minute of it, thank you .
Your channel have been suggested to me by You Tube while browsing for some guidance.
Glad it did it .
Subscribed and notify bell on .I've got a calligraphy set at The Range while ago and haven't make much use of it but I would now after watching you sketching the twigs ,etc .
Professor's Piskarev work has been a great help to me , neurography drawing is therapeutic indeed .
Welcome to the channel Karmina! So glad you found us and I'm so happy you are enjoying our videos. Yes, I wrote Pavel's name down so I could learn it! His wrok is very intersting and helpful, and I will be doing more videos using it. I'm no expert though, just learning like others!
Beautiful....im learning so much from you. I'm a Junk Journal artist...thank you..
You are so welcome! Watercolor and junk journalling - a match made in heaven!
this was your first tutorial I tried! thank you!
Love the relaxed warm conversation weaving through the inspirational instruction. Hearing about your day to day life is a great privilege and a joy almost as if we are all sharing a tea and bringing our little birds to life. Using the nib Pen adds movement and interest as well as a challenge for us. Relaxed and a joy to watch thank you for sharing. Hope your husbands is soon recovered. 👏👏👏❤❤
Thanks so much Wendy, his finger is almost healed. I wonder what he'll try to cut off next! So glad you are enjoying the videos and I really appreciate your comments, it's my pleasure xx
Absolutely loving your birds of late!!
So nice of you, thanks so much, and I'm glad you enjoy it!
Ordering a dip pen and ink today! You absolutely always paint the things I love ❤️
So nice of you, thanks so much, and I'm glad you enjoy it!
I ❤ these birds... so cute! It is enjoyable to watch your process. 😊
Love lê birdies
WoW 😲💗 This Painting Is Absolutely Gorgeous!!
Thank you so much 😀 xx
what beautiful birds reminds me of the Japanese style of painting very pretty well done as always xx
Thank you so much 😀 so glad you enjoyed this one!
I absolutely loved this and seems like an easy enough painting to start off with as a total watercolor newbie. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to exploring your previous and future tutorials. Thank you!
Hi Jenny and welcome to the channel! Yes this is a very easy painting and I think you’ll find it fun. Thanks very much for subscribing and enjoy your journey into watercolour! Thanks very much for your comment.
That was SO fun to do! I had become discouraged with my watercolour efforts of late. It was really enjoyable to just play around with colour, and appreciate the simply whimsy of these wee birds. Thank you!
Thanks, that’s wonderful to hear. Keep it up!!!
Big hugs today!
So nice of you, thanks so much, and I'm glad you enjoy it!
Love these little birds!! Thank you for sharing!!💜

These are just beautiful, Diane!
You always delight with your paintings Diane,thank you for getting me to get my brushes wet again❤️
My pleasure 😊
Dear Diane, thank you so much for this inspiring tutorial, the birds are adorable.
I also decided to buy some watercolor and start painting cause I was inspired by your videos!
Thank you so much🌹
Thank you. It was lovely and relaxing to watch you creating these little birds. I am old enough to have used a dip pen and inkwell at school. 😊 Hearing the sound of the pen brought back many memories. 👏💕🇿🇦
Me too! Although mostly we used to make little balls of blotting paper and poke them into the inkwells to throw at people.... those were the days!
I use the tracing paper trick as well.
Great painting of the birds. As a beginner I want to try this painting. I learn something from you every time I watch your videos.
Thanks Dana, so glad, have fun!
Always great content. Thank you. No music is fantastic!!!!
What a delightful tutorial. Thank you so much Diane, for your clear and informative style, and for the lack of background music too. I can't wait to have a go myself.
Thanks for your kind comments, it's better without the music, and easier for us to make, too!
У Вас очень красивые работы. Получила огромное удовольствие,наблюдая за Вашей работой!😊
thank you beautiful.
Thank you for providing these videos. They are very helpful as I dabble in watercolours for the first time. BTW, I love Hollis tiktoks too! The way he says Eggs and moo juice is hilarious
You are so welcome! So glad you found us and I hope you enjoy many more of our videos! I love the way he says "sinnamum" as well - he's amazing for someone so young!
These are precious! I just started painting, I haven’t since high school…I’m 46, I have 5 children..2 of which are adults while my younger 3 are 15 13 11, as they get older they need me in different ways, which now leaves me with some free time that I have no clue what to do with… so I’m going to try painting again. I love to sketch what your painting during my lunch break,I do a few at a time, and then save them in my book for when I have some free time to paint, all very relaxing! 💕 thank you
Hi Angel and a warm welcome to the channel!!! I’m so happy that you found us and that you are enjoying the videos. Watercolor painting is a fabulous way to relax and get creative at any moment of the day when you have a spare moment and we have one subby who keeps a mini watercolor kit in her desk at work for lunchtime painting!!😀 I won’t be surprised if some of your children get into it too! Wishing you much fun and relaxation, Diane xxx
Love this. I have the paints already but i did order the inks. Hope your husband’s finger heals well and quickly.
So nice of you, thanks so much, and I'm glad you enjoy it!
I just bought the book for my daughter who is just recovering from breast cancer it’s just beautiful thanks for all your recommendations
Thank you. Always look forward to your wonderful videos.
So nice of you, glad you enjoy them!
That is soooooooooooo Sweet !!!!
