Oh!!! I'm so glad to have this video pop up! I'm in the middle of moving 2500 miles away from my beloved state of Washington and will be leaving my special hummingbird behind. He stays all year long at my feeder and I have a warmer I use to keep his nectar from freezing each winter. When his nectar gets low, he scolds me with loud little chirps, and I have a little clicking sound that lets him know his feeder is now ready. He's a very normal colored little guy, still very shy when I try to take his picture. I worry for him. Who will take care of him in the winter? I won't cry, instead I will try to paint a simple hummingbird with you as a guide. Thanks much.

Oh Cheryl I’m so sorry to hear that you are leaving your precious home and little bird. I’m sure he’ll be fine but I would feel very bad about leaving him too. Is there anyone nearby who would take over his feeding routine for you when you’ve left?

Lovely, another sweet bird

Many thanks, so happy you are enjoying my paintingsxxx

@@DianeAntoneStudio I adjusted the colors to paint a ruby-throat, the hummingbird that we have in Northern Minnesota 🥰

[@hhamann391]

I have made two attempts at this and will do it again few more times. The improvement is evident. I would like to get it even looser.

[@annemiekebelgraver7400]

Wonderful Diane! I’m going to try this lovely bird today 😉

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

How did it go?

[@annemiekebelgraver7400]

@@DianeAntoneStudio it’s on your FB page. I wasn’t very satisfied. Because the wings seemed not to be part of the hummingbird. Also the colors were not very nice. But I liked doing it, and that’s for me the most important thing, thanks to you! 😘

[@Teena232]

I'm very new to watercolor and have painted some of your lessons with amazing results. I love hummingbirds so I gave this one a shot and I thought I ruined it but when I was all done it actually looked okay even with a bit of a fat beak haha. Your videos are delightful thank you so much for doing this.❤

[@cookatee]

Love all your tutorials, thank you so much Diane !🙏

I love the humming bird

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Thank you Simon, he turned out prettily! I’m very happy with the paper I found in my stash which really worked a bit of magic!

[@ggmigg]

Wow, such a delicate creature and this video so relaxing and enjoyable. Really what I needed to watch. Very clear explanation . Thanks 4 sharing! 💖

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Glad you enjoyed it! I've got another hummingbird up now too!

[@LaviniaNova]

Very nice. We get plenty of these little ones whizzing by - we have 4 hummingbird vines, or trumpet vines, growing in our yard, so they are always chasing each other 😄

Simply GORGEOUS!!! This is my first year of putting out hummingbird feeders and have been blessed with ruby throated beauties. 💕 Going to attempt to paint some. Your video really inspires me to give it a go!!!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Wonderful! Always good to hear of these birds doing well - enjoy your painting adventure x

[@shawnas464]

[@eileenpeat2259]

Beautifully painted. Not an easy Bird to capture the wings are never still, but you managed it with just a few simple strokes.😊

Brilliant!

[@posiesutton2009]

Perfect.❤️

[@robinsusich4247]

Hi, Diane. I grew up in the Midwest part of the US and have a father who religiously fed Hummingbirds. He gets literally hundreds of birds in his yard during the summer, so these guys have a special place in my heart. I love the looseness of the wings in contrast to the sharpness of the beak in your painting. I will definitely give this a try. Have a good day!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

That's lovely Robin - we used to live in the Bahamas and that's where I used to see hummingbirds - sadly we don't have them here in France but I remember them with fondness x

[@karenhoward303]

Lovely

Thanks so much!

My 168 th. Short but capturing the essence. Beautiful 😊wim

[@cathieproffitt6432]

Hi Diane, so beautiful, you really captured the movement of the wings! Btw:I didn’t see the hummingbird sketch on your website, I would love to give this a go!

[@DianeAntoneStudio]

Hi Cathy, have we forgotten to put the hummingbird on the website? Whoops!! I’ll try to remember to get that done today. Thanks very much for your comment - I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@luzmiraperez7605]

Fantástico

[@leesafrench9011]

i can never see the sketch, it so lightly shows up with brightness all the way up?
