I have absolutely fallen in love with these five little guys. This painting is perfect in its simplicity.

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!!

[IMASE]

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 ❤️

[elsad]

Just what I'm needing to paint to "get away". I really like the loose softness and colors. These birdies make me smile.

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

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...

Thank you so much for this video it taught me how to paint birds and they look super cute and I sent them to my aunt in St Louis. I did three little birds outside my doorstep for a song by Bob Marley who says don't worry about a thing every little thing is going to be all right I love that song

[trinawilliams]

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!!!

[TerriShaver]

Sorry for your bad day…but this precious painting would make anyone smile! ❤️ Thank you!

[marthajordan]

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.

[eileenmariehennighan]

I experienced so much joy painting my little birds! Thank you for gently sharing your passion ❤️

[culitabazdoaca]

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 ❤❤❤

[ruthiepooh]

I’m rewatching all of your whimsical animals. Just love your style and approachable technique.💕

[StarsShineForYou]

I agree with you Diane, painting is a good way to forget our problems. Thanks for sharing your art.

[deirdrecampbell]

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 😊

[wfptcdg]

These five birds were a pick-me-up mood lifter. Great fun!

[Angie-pluw]

Precious! And such a pretty girl or boy who came in for pets.

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!
