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.

Good morning from Tennessee. I’m so happy I have found you ! You’ve helped me tremendously with my painting. I haven’t been painting that long and I needed a artist just like you! Thanks for sharing all your videos! 😊

Welcome to the channel Tamy! So glad you found us and are enjoying the videos! Wishing you all the best with your art journey - such an exciting time when you start to paint!

Yes! She has been so much help for me. I loved the "one" course I took in college but that was YEARS ago and I got away from it for a very long time. I watched others on KZfaq and learned a lot of terminology and much about brushes, paint and paper qualities. All good and important things, but not much good if you don't start painting. Diane was the first to really help me put paint to paper. Her calm attitude and pleasant voice makes a world of difference. Not to mention her talent. So, thanks again, Diane.

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!!!

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

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.

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!❤️

Thanks so much Posie for all your kind and generous messages which mean so much to both of us! I am thrilled for you that your cards sell well, but I’m not surprised, as you are both a gifted painter and a glorious person! Which shines through in your work. I think there are a few videos that would be good converted to Valentines cards and I am planning on doing a few more soon. Happy painting friend!

It is a very useful and beautiful set. I do believe my next gift to myself will be this set. My birthday is not til December so I may have to find another reason to reward myself. Lol I love these little birds!

Sorry about that Tracy. I can't remember now why I changed it but it would only have been one or two strokes of a slightly darker color I think. I try not to do that nowadays.
