How to Paint Cute Watercolor Birds for Beginners - Easy Bird Painting Ideas - Realtime Tutorial

Показать описание
These sweet little Goldfinches are super easy to paint. I'm starting with a bit of a warmup today, relaxing before painting by swatching the Daniel Smith Primatek set with the addition of yellow. There isn't a yellow in the introductory set of six Primatek colors - but you really need one! The yellow I'm using is Quinacridone Gold from Schmincke Horadam, my favorite yellow for its versatility, transparency and ability to always make a beautiful color blend! I am painting on a piece of 100% cotton 140lb cold pressed Arches paper, and I am using a Drawell round brush. 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.

For some reason, Harry Belefonte comes to mind……? A tropical feel perhaps? My favorite color tones.every bird you paint has personality!❤️

Diane, I love these three! This too would be a perfect card to send to a friend. This painting has that unique Diane Antone signature that nothing compares to. Again it has that touch of vintage style that I love. It's always so enjoyable to watch you paint. I love the delicate strokes on the bird's feathers. Also, the additional touch of green you added to the leaves really popped it out. Great advice when you say, "Have to be brave, have to be brave." That's what I'll remind myself of when I attempt to paint this beauty. It's truly like a visit with a friend watching your videos. Thank you.

I just did something interesting. I was watching this video and had to mute it for a minute, but then finished watching it muted. So interesting just to watch you paint, and guessing what you were saying. Now I'm going back to listen and see how correct I was. This is silly! But I feel as if I've leant to much from you, I'm interested to see how I may have guessed what you've said. (you know how I love to watch your hands at work) Always another beautiful piece of art...these colors are wonderful. And thank you so much. YOU are the best!!!

Hello my friend again! I’m revisiting more of your birds, kitties, teddy bears and more of your tutorials…….why? You ask? 😁 Because Valentine’s Day is on the horizon and I have a bunch of cards to paint! Thanks to you, all my holiday cards sold very well in our community shop up here in the hills!
Love and light to you my friend!❤️

Diane you've inspired me, it's an exciting feeling! I'm retired and have been needing something creative to occupy myself.
I'll be surprising my three grown children by Christmas with some nice hand painted gifts.
I can't wait to get started. Bless you😇💕

Thanks for all you do. Found you a week ago and have watched lots
of your videos. I’m near Boston MA and only began painting in Dec. ‘23. I’m 77 with a sometimes shaky hand. I find getting colors light and transparent enough. I add water but don’t seem to change them much. I’ll keep working on it! Thanks for your meditative style.

I love them! Amazing how you can make a pretty painting with just a few colours.
Thanks for the colour swatching in the beginning 😊

How I thoroughly enjoyed this video! It had everything! Tuition, a review (paints and paper), the cutest birds, and to cap it all off, a beautiful rooster call in the background! (Only one teeny thing missing was any dog noises!). The tutorial part of this video was brilliant. You showed how to make a simple loose shape into something alive and charming. I really must have a bash at this one. Thank you, Diane
