Gallery of Garden Birds - 30 different birds to inspire you - bluetits, robins, swallows and more
Welcome to a Gallery of 30 Watercolour Garden Bird Paintings from my sketchbook, painted by me over the past two decades. Including robins, bluetits, wrens, swallows, hummingbirds, owls and more, the styles range from very simple to more complex, and here you will find many different arrangements, backgrounds and moods to give you inspiration for your own paintings. You are welcome to use the ideas copyright free for your own use, but please do not sell a copy of one of my paintings. Please use the hashtag #dianeantonestudio if you share your painting on social media.
A new bird tutorial is coming soon!
