Thank you! I LOVE my kuretake watercolor paints.

Such a cute, whimsical bird. I actually love the big eye, it is the focal point which drives the personality. ❤

I 💕 love the Rooster in the background

Diane, thank you for sketching out this super cute bird as well as the peaceful process of watching you paint. An added bonus was listening to the chirping of your birds. Oh, and just look at the number of your subscribers...90.8K and growing strong! I am so grateful to you and Tamsin for the peace, joy, and education you share with your followers. The older I get, the more I realize the joy of sharing our light and talent with others. You do this so well. The other day a friend thanked me for introducing her to your channel. She said watching you paint and listening to your sweet stories was the best therapy. I agree with that.

To play with the pencils and paint you do, that is how to feel confortable to paint. Thank you. I like the things you paint. ❤

Love this little bird.

Diane, I absolutely love your whimsical animals. Thank you so much.

Fun little quirky bird

I love your whimsical birds, sheep, towns and cats! And angels too! 🤗💜

Comb is the top-notch on head

Colourful fellow …so nice…creating whimsical art is so much fun

Always a lovely experience watching you Dianne and so inspirational. Thank you xx

My second bird today! Getting ahead of the game. Looking forward to setting up a flock. Thank you.

Fun indeed lovely little fellow! I love how you chat about your farm

Thank you Diane, I do like your creative bent on whimsical and funkiness….🎉🐏🐔🐕🐈‍⬛🐾🐾🐾🐾🐶💚💫

Diane this was so joyful to watch you create this delightful bird and listen to you and of course Gabriel. I'm going to give it a go....inspired. Thank you.

Thanks Diane, she/he is lovely. ❤❤

I have it sketched. Will watch again for the watercolor. And then the doodling. I am slow. Love the bird.

This is just the cutest wee boy. He is so fun and colourful, thank you Diane! I always love the background noises of all your animal friends, esp Gabriel, he is such a character.

I just love your work could watch you all day

I so enjoy your paintings. I am also quite taken with all the bird sounds that frequently provide background for your painting sessions. What a wonderful environment you live in!!

Expecting rain tomorrow in California. Perfect to stay indoors and try my hand at this cutie. Thank you.

Hello Diane! You are a great artist and I like the circles and the funny bird and the cats so much. You made me start with water colours again. Thank you so much for your nice artificial videos ! Yours very sincerely Gisela Schmidt from Germany/ Bavaria

I think he looks amazing! 😍

Such a cheerful bird, makes you smile, thank you ❤

I love all your birds ❤

Love him!

I love your whimsical birds, cats, sheep, towns and angels! 💕

You painted a whimsical bird in celebration of Gabrielle getting out for fresh bugs. He flew the coop!

so pretty Dianne

Wow! the white pen does make a big difference...but the whole piece is amazing. This is going to be fun!

Adorable!!

What an utter delight. I love the very large eye...gives him great character. Having great fun doodling along with you. Thanks for your joyful gifts of art and imagination.😁🙏

I would totally love to see a portrait of Larry the Sheep (whose curiosity is curbed by good manners, it seems). Such a cute, quirky bird you've painted too. Fun!

I am so amazed at the crazy variety of birds you can paint! Since I LOVE birds, it fascinates me. I’m building up to purchasing paints and not hating myself when they look horrible, 😂. I really should try. I also love that you cover so many other focuses, not just flowers and stuff. Thank you for sharing with us.

Diane uczę malować dzieci akwarelą pokazując im Twoje filmy.❤️🌿👍👑 Ptaszek z zaczarowanej krainy❤️

Very cute - I like his big eye. Thank you.

Cute and colorful. I like the texture, doodles, white pen. Maybe a bit of gold on his beak, I think. 😉

That was so fun I made two of them!

Hi Diane! What a fabulous bird and the birdies out your window singing couldn't be more perfect!! 🥰❤️🥰

A perfect cheerful fellow! It’s Wednesday evening here in California, and it’s snowing!! I have 4” already, and supposed to keep going thru Saturday! Yay! We sure need it. But that means I can stay cozy and warm with my kitties and PAINT! 🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️

I'm 71 and just getting into water colors. I love the way you teach. Makes .md feel like I can do this .

Special sound effects to match your project

What fun!❤️🦋

I love the big eye, this would be great for a child's room. Or my kitchen! 😊👍

Diane, What a cutie of a bird!! I love his huge eye💗he’s a happy bird.

Thank you ,i make it with lot of pleasure, my first expérience with WATERCOLOR

I love this he’s so bright and uplifting .I think I might even have a go,and get my daughter to have a go too,she’s learning 🥰

This was so fun to paint!

So adorable! I’ll be doing this one asap, thank you!

Nice and so colorful! ❤

Love this! Giving it a fun go this afternoon! Thank you!

Oh, how cute and colorful. Love it.

❤

Such a bright spot on a dreary day!💕

What a cutie!! Such great colors too. Love this for sure

Fully enjoying seeing you paint and hearing all you shared. My day was a bit hectic… but thanks to you calming video I’m doing much better and also inspired.

I just love this colorful, friendly looking bird! Such fun I had painting this! Thanks Diane. Oh. And I love hearing Gabriel crow❤️ so interesting about the sheep as well.

I love this little bird, I love all it's colours. 💙💚💛💜❤

Incredible, beautiful art and thank you for sharing your process!

I think the word you wanted for the cockerel’s head is comb.

Очень красиво !

I love this bird with the cheerful colours!! It's also great to see you use the Kuratake set. I will paint it soon. We have an ice day off today from school. 😉 I only have black Inktense pencil so I will do the whole picture in watercolour.

When I started watercolor painting last year, I started with your bird a day. This will be a good one to add to that sketchbook I started with them. Thank you and have a great day!

Love it, so colorful! I love the rooster in the back ground it was funny that he decided to chime in on your video. I really enjoy your stories of the animals on the farm. You have taught me a lot on getting out of trying to paint the perfect version to more of a whimsical style, which has been so great to help me just relax and enjoy painting.

Amazing!

Very novel! You are so innovative in creating a fun image!

I love it ❤

Love this birdie so lively and full of personality! Is cockscomb the word you’re thinking of for the cockerel’s top knot?

I would recommend going over the inktense with a wet brush, it becomes permanent when dry. Just a thought. Love your fun videos. ❤️

It’s 4am my time…my hours are so messed up. Had to go spend a few days in the hospital…pain in the neck. I need a new body…😂. Anyways, slept most of the time in the hospital..Liz says that proves I was sick…no, just tired. Got home last night, been trying to catch up with cleaning..and Dr. Kitty Leela has been smothering me with love (and her shedding long ginger hair…). Anyways, going to go paint..need to do another layer on my Gongbi, but want to do something fun to warm up…either this or the kitties. OHOHOH!, INKTENSE! They worked on my..once, white sneakers! I wanted to do kind of a stained glass..different shapes, outlined with…crap, a fine liner micro…whatever they’re called. Filled in, “painted” inside w the inktense, then when it was dry, I went back with black puff paint over the fine liner. My daughter had tried it and said it’s definitely permanent! Trying to think of other things I can do…thinking of some pillowcases…just some flowers on the edges…

Oh Diane - this character made me truly laugh out loud!

Just a lovely bird. I love your doodles! And I mentioned earlier is it plumage or a crest on his head?

Have you remembered a Cockrell where's a comb on his head in hopes to have hair. Comb.

Top of the bird’s head comb?

🐭🐭❤❤🤗🤗

Is it comb. Diane.?

Cockscomb ❤

Is it plumage

Comb

I have the same pad, same paint, but my paper is buckling, and the colors are not mixing. Too much water I suppose, and wrong brush... Hummm...😮 😂

He reminds me of my parrot, but his beak is bigger, and goes into a very rounded upwards bit on his top beak.. …I showed him this picture, and ask his opinion, (and anytime he is happy or likes something, he says… “Let’s eat ice cream!”… which he said, when I showed him! .I taught him that, ….He is a rescue bird, and older, but most of his words are Italian in a man’s voice!… Some one named him Alfredo….( unfortunately, he cusses like a Sailor!!) That’s what my mother in law would say when my husband… Whi when came home from the Service, he had picked up the habit of both cussing and drinking beer, now and then🤦‍♀️😂. ….Nothing wrong with a bit of alcohol. …but my Mother in Law was a “tea totaler” And …lucky for me I have always hated the taste of all alcohol ( so she” “approved” of me🤷‍♀️🤣)…

Wattle, waddle?
