[@sharonmansfield3053]

Yes, I’m ready to make some beautiful and easy Christmas cards with your help! Let’s do it girl! Hope you are feeling better. I enjoyed hearing how you and your daughter work and create together. ❤️🌲

[@AnneliBjoersdorff-zk9qw]

Great that you had this video prepared as you did get infected as you feared. I really hope you feel better now! ❤ Lovely bird!🤩

[@marieobrien5628]

I love this….I’ve been wanting to paint a cardinal. Thank you, Diane!

[@candy614]

So simple and yet it looks as if it took hours! A case of less is more. Looking forward to painting this beautiful winter bird using your approach...which I love! Thank you! Hope you're feeling better.

[@maryfellows4159]

I love all your birds Diane and I especially love this cardinal. I definitely want to paint him. I hope you are feeling better and being gentle with yourself! You and your family are on my prayer list! Take care. Xx

[@patriciahorelick6450]

Many thanks for getting me thinking Christmas cards! Love the cardinal! I truly hope you all will be well soon!

[@tamyranash5984]

We have many cardinals. I think the females are also very lovely. Thank you for the tutorial! 😊

[@Sundies_Art]

Indeed, it is all about having fun!! Thank you Diane, feel better soon.

[@carolyndaughton3373]

Diane, I love cardinals but don't get to see them here in California. So kind of you to take the time to show us how to sketch one and I'll give it a try. I would like to include this in the painted holiday cards I send out every year. I really enjoyed your holiday card tutorials last year and in the year's past. I'm excited to see what you'll be creating this year! Thanks for a great tutorial and wishing you and your family health, peace, and love!

[@bevc8306]

I’ve never seen a Cardinal in real life, as we don’t have them in Australia. They are look so beautiful. Thank you for this tutorial. I hope you both test positive to the dreaded virus. ❤❤❤

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Bev good to hear from you!! I’m quite under the weather still as the virus works it’s way through me but hopefully a few more days will see me functioning again! Take care ❤️

[@lindamarsh6711]

Cardinals have three front toes and one on the back Beautiful Diane. Love from 🇨🇦

[@cowgirljane3316]

Whoop! It's always Christmas when there's a Cardinal around. I have four pairs in my yard.

[@sharikeener1946]

Love cardinals. It was my dads favorite bird. He passed away 20 years ago, but every time a cardinal comes and taps on my window I think of him ❤ Thank you for this tutorial!! Love all your tutorials!!

[@alichtenwalter]

I love the cardinal. Where I grew up in Oregon we didn't see Cardinals. We had stellar jays. They look like cardinals but they are deep blue. Hope you are feeling better. Blessings

[@melindaavila498]

Get Paxlovid for your family if you test positive for Covid. It's wonderful, recuperating is faster! Thank you for the gorgeous Cardinal!

[@teresastaggs7923]

Hope you are feeling better Diane. Beautiful bird!

[@roxannerosecrans4441]

Oh I love cardinals 😍 great painting 🖌️🥰

[@karencarlson1693]

This is lovely - yes, time to get going on Christmas card themes! I hope you are recovering from Covid and feeling better now.

[@naomihall7339]

Diane, you never seize to amaze me with your beautiful paintings, you make me feel so relaxed about trying it my self. I have learned so much from you. I would love to spend a afternoon just sitting with you and taking a class with you, the way you talk and teach is just wonderful. Thanks for doing this for me and so many people who watch you. Your the best.

[@janiceheger291]

Please do a video on how to paint the birds in flight! This cardinal is truly beautiful. I always look forward to your work of animals and birds.

[@peggyjanovick]

What 👀 You had a CLEAN palette? I've been watching your videos for a while, and I believe this is the few times you started with a clean palette 🎨. You are a joy 😊

[@jodirankin5901]

Thank you for sharing even when you're sick. I hope everyone is fine!

[@janiceglines606]

We have lots of cardinals that come to our feeders. I love the female cardinals colors. Sometimes they look as if they have a little lavender color. It may be some red under their buff. Sometimes the buff looks yellowish or green. They are both very pretty birds that love dawn and Dusk times to feed. Harder for the hawks to see them in the shadows perhaps. Love your cardinal. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@keariewashburn4680]

Must do this ❤ Thank you Diane 😊 Pray you all are feeling better 🙏

[@Kathleen-dn6mz]

This is truly wonderful work of art. You really captured the this beautiful bird! I also wish you well 🙏.

[@patlatour2465]

He’s one to try, thank you ❤😊

[@ChantelleArts]

thats a gorgeous red ❤❤

[@wimjanssen2181]

My 75 th. I like your birds, both whimsical as to nature. This Cardinal is one I wanted to paint sometimes. This week probably. Yesterday I didn't watch a video. Thanks heaven this will be a rarity. I noticed this morning that my day yesterday was too busy; I happened to forget watching my daily video. 😢😊. No worry's I sometimes watch two or three a day. I have to because otherwise I never catch up with your almost 800 .one of my goals is to watch them all and then watch every time you make a new one. Somewhere Christmas 25 or so haha😅🎉🎉Wim😅😊

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Tamsin says, don’t worry, about 100 of the videos are “shorts” so you only have to watch 700!!!!

[@posiesutton2009]

Thank you Diane! I love a cardinal, but always been somewhat afraid of trying it! This lesson gives me courage to go for it! Stay well my friend!XXXOX❤️❤️❤️

[@irenehynes7536]

One of my most favourite birds! Thank you for showing us how to paint him!❤

[@marybrown3097]

I admire your paintings of cardinals. I would definitely like to give this lovely bird a try. Take care, Diane, best of health to you and your family.

[@elizabethmatheson8011]

Hi Diane! My grandma loves your videos and feels she learns a lot from your tutorials. She particularly loved the tutorial on chickens. And she was wondering if you'd be open to doing a tutorial more focused on how to paint and draw chickens. She's always watching your videos when I visit, and can't wait to learn more from you ❤

[@Ann-ey1tw]

Beautiful bird! Hope you and your daughter stay healthy! Have you heard that reds are flat unless you paint an orange under it? This doesn’t look flat.

[@juditszepessy8936]

Beautiful painting! I will definitely paint this one using my Kuretake red colours. 🤗

[@alicepayne2300]

He's such a pretty bird! I've been thinking of diving into learning how to paint animals, and birds seem like a good place to start. 🙂

[@shellyberanek6271]

Another beautiful tutorial. Thank you, thank you !

[@lindapugh4778]

Love cardinal’s! Thanks!

[@Rebecca-qx1et]

Perfect timing, i painted a cardinal two weeks ago....my first try and he turned out pretty well. Your little guy is beautiful. ❤ hope you all doing better.

[@conniejenskindsfather979]

Will watch again to hear your voice ...trouble with sound on my end. Still enjoyed your drawing, choice of colors., and elegant final cardinal. We don't t have cardinals here but enjoy their seasonal Christmas appearance. Thanks.

[@janebridge1325]

Such a beautiful and uplifting tutorial, Diane - thank you so much for sharing your skills and thoughts with us! Truly inspirational! :))

[@SueKivley]

He is just beautiful!

[@dreamalamb4259]

[@maggimarmion3836]

[@arttulip100561]

This is gorgeous and your voice just makes my day better! So sorry about COVID. Sending healthy vibes. ❤

[@anni50ful]

Lovely birds never seen one, our birds are quite dull in the UK depending on where you live , the most exciting bird I saw was on the Estuary an eaglet ,properly not spelt right? I used to take my children down to see it almost every day and they named him snowball, he was pure white with blue feet .. I was in the local butchers one day and mentioned that I took the children down to see this bird with blue feet ,it turned out that our butcher was a twitcher and spent the next half an hour trying to convince me I hadn't seen a white bird with blue feet ? I took the children down to see snowball the next day and he did have blue feet ? That was ok we just enjoyed him all to ourselves .. Thinking back it reminded me of the detectorists,maybe I had stumbled upon a rare bird they were trying to put me off. Hope you don't get Covid ,take care Diane and family ☺

[@Joaniemac69]

Stunning.

[@dbell1213]

I hope and pray you are well❤

[@TracyS-e3j]

Diane, you have been so helpful in my new journey with watercolour! Your robins and cardinals are so beautiful, and I have created some Christmas cards from your very helpful tutorials, I don't like details much either lol. Wishing you a pleasant day!
