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.
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.
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 have only just discovered your channel and I am blown away with how easy you seem to make it all look. That shows you are a true professional. I love the little birds and especially how you showed where to place the eyes. Very impressed.
Oh my goodness I love your tutorial. I cannot wait to sit down and try this. I’m not an artist, but I have several watercolor sets and some paper because my heart clearly wants to be someone who can do watercolor.
These little birds are so cute. I have been binge watching your videos for several days and painting along. They are all so wonderful. Thank you for sharing so much of your art. Your loose techniques are helping me free flow in my art. I so appreciate your gentleness, joyful light mood and instructions are enjoyable to follow. Thanks again Diane. Blessings and peace.

@@DianeAntoneStudio You really CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Speaking for myself, I'm an old dog :p I painted the forget-me-nots and tagged you on Instagram. I added a couple of extra bees.
very cute birds, love it! I used to do a little bit of water color when I was younger, and trying to get back into it, so nice to watch how other people do things, Love the birds :) Thank you, new viewer, your video popped up on the side bar thing :) and thank you for showing how you did the eyes, I can never get mine right :) A big HI and hugs from Utah :) Love the cute bird tails :)
Thanks! I LOVE your little birds! And, your tip for placing the eyes was very helpful. It’s something I have struggled with. I can also see applications for other projects. ❤
Thank you for this lovely tutorial! I am only a beginner at watercoloring so instantly thought 'I think I can do this'! I am not sure if I can obtain the lovely cold pressed paper though as I live in New Zealand, but will try for a similar 140lb paper. You have a new subscriber, thanks again Diane.
These are so much fun to paint! I’ve tried a few with different shapes and colours. Thank you so much for this tutorial - it’s so relaxing to watch and learn from 😊
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.

The tracing paper is just genius!! Thanks! Brilliant tutorial. I've often ruined something with details in the wrong place. 😐 I don't mean to hurt you but personally I prefer hearing your voice without music. Maybe just me.🙂
Thanks for this! Question: is there a reason for using the Kuritake brush rather than a regular brush? Need more info on how you used the kuritake: was it filled with water or paint? Do you put the pigment ON the kuritake brush tip to paint or is the pigment IN the tube? Do you have a video on using the kuritake? Thank you!!
No, I was just trying it out as I had been given it recently. There is only water in the brush, no paint. You can watch the first time I used it hua-cam.com/video/1q_OpXqFHq8e/v-deo.htmlre:

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!
