Whimsical Watercolors

Join me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Today I have three new blobby birds for you to create, and along the way I'm sharing color mixing tips, some of my favorite materials, an exciting new technique I've been trying out, and some of my behind the scenes prep work - including six more blobby bird ideas for you to try out for yourselves. I'm also giving you some insight into the not-so-easy part of creativity - the nervousness and uncertainty that can come with it. Because if you feel it too, you need to know it's not just you! So sit back and relax, and in half an hour I hope you'll be full of creativity and ready to paint.  Here's the video I mention: https://youtu.be/BA3nJDNx3Mw Materials: Diane Antone x Meeden Watercolor Painting Set US / Global site: https://go.meedenart.com/4dEYoYX UK site: https://go.meedenart.com/4sD94Ms AU site: https://go.meedenart.com/4c92tU1 EU site: https://go.meedenart.com/3PxYoA4 Drawell handmade brushes from Japan (see below for info) Or Princeton Aqua Elite Synthetic Kolinsky Brush, Round, size 4 https://amzn.to/4ukUvNK Meeden ceramic flat palette https://amzn.to/3SvCQCP Meeden water pot https://amzn.to/3Wv75Lo Arrtx Acrylic Marker Set https://amzn.to/3Td2lZN Lightwish Acrylic Dual Tip markers https://amzn.to/3MtOsmw Black Fineliners Set of 6 — $5.99 https://amzn.to/48m0CbF Gold or White Fineliners Set of 3 https://amzn.to/3M44lmk Zig White Brush Pen — https://amzn.to/4px3w4v Signo White Gel Pen — https://amzn.to/4pQBdOb ARTISTRO bullet tip gold marker (like mine) https://amzn.to/4p4LtSl Uni-Ball Signo Gold Pen: https://amzn.to/3R1KGmZ Uni-Ball Signo White Pen: https://amzn.to/4bAspFE Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pens https://amzn.to/3QIcn2N Faber Castell Pitt Pen, Dark Sepia set of 4 https://amzn.to/46xzFAI Pentel Hybrid Gel Metallic Gold set of 3 https://amzn.to/46xzFAI Faber-Castell Pitt Pens 4 Black India Ink Pen Wallet Set - Assorted Nibs https://amzn.to/3VxaJnZ Royal Talens White Gouache https://amzn.to/46KLRfk OR Dr PH MArtin’s Bleedproof White https://amzn.to/3GGIa0R Molotow one4all acrylic TWIN marker (1.5mm and 4mm nibs) https://amzn.to/4b1FyIn Color Nature White —— Navigate through our video using Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:28 Painting the birds' bodies 06:23 Drawing on the main features 10:30 Embellishing the birds 20:08 A new (to me) idea 22:36 Finishing the birds —— ➡️ DON’T LOVE DRAWING?

Join me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Today I’m feeling like painting something blobby, and it’s going to be cats! The older I get the less I seek perfection in my paintings. Or maybe it’s just my reaction to the so-called perfection of AI. But more and more what brings me joy and peace is a brush-full of juicy paint on a friendly familiar piece of watercolor paper. And the time to watch the pigment move and explore the paper. So let’s dive into our blobby cats.

Join me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio I love painting birds but they can be hard to draw. I was at the beach today and absent-mindedly picked up some beautiful pebbles to bring home. Later, I realized that yet again nature has already done the hard work for us. Beach pebbles are the perfect 'secret stencils’ for Blobby Birds! Today, I’m going to show you how to turn a simple stone into one of my signature Blobby Birds in just 10 minutes. I’ve got three beginner hacks for you—one for the body, one for the tail, and a tracing paper trick for the eyes—so we can skip the 'drawing stress' and get straight to the watercolor magic. Cuteness is guaranteed, and no drawing skills are required. Let’s paint!

Join me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Watercolor painting is such a wonderful way to bring calm back when life feels overwhelming. For me, that can mean anything from the challenges of the weather to navigating bureaucratic tangles or even just deciding what to cook next. Sitting down with a brush, a few colors and a piece of paper helps me pause, breathe, and let go of all those distractions. And if you still need convincing of the power that painting has to change your mood, watch this video and you'll hear it happening to me through my voice. Today we are painting a beautiful hummingbird and musing over the ups and downs of life and how to manage our painting journey.

Join me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Starting with watercolor painting is great for bringing more calm into your life. But for me, lacking confidence was the biggest barrier to finding that calm. Then one day I realised that creating whimsical birds, cats and other subjects was easier and more fun, and my confidence soared. Birds painted my way are easy, undemanding and forgiving, and don’t need any skill whatever. Many people have found them to be an ideal introduction to watercolor and I agree. I wish I’d known this years ago, but am excited to share it with you so you too can enjoy painting right out of the gate.

They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/product.html —— ➡️ *Where You’ll Find Us* *Our Online Homes* Website: https://dianeantone.com YouTube: https://youtube.com/@DianeAntoneStudio Patreon: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Facebook: https://facebook.com/dianeantonestudio Instagram: https://instagram.com/dianeantonestudio Pinterest: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio *Our Facebook Communities* Facebook Members Only Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/dianeantonestudiomembers Facebook Learn to Paint Watercolor Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnwatercolourpainting Facebook Learn to Paint Mixed Media Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/learnhowtopaint *Our baby sister channel* Subscribe to https://youtube.com/@fromthegarden for behind the scenes videos of life on and around our little farm in Brittany, France Diane Antone Studio makes a commission from sales made through the above links.* #dianeantonestudio #watercolor #art

Join me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio These three watercolor landscape hacks will raise your watercolor game, guaranteed! And you can learn them all (and more!) in this one, easy to follow step-by-step tutorial! You don’t need to be able to draw either, as a simple sketch is available from our website. We'll start with a wet in wet wash over some masking fluid creating the rising moon. Then we'll unleash the power of salt and water to create texture. Then we'll control the water to master dry brush strokes. Along the way we'll add some sheep and a rabbit to complete this whimsical winter watercolor scene! So come along with me and let’s go for a walk in a winter wonderland!
