Give me 30 minutes and my Blobby Birds will UNLEASH your watercolor creativity!

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?
