So informative ! Love that you said, "Youre not a camera, you're an artist"! Yesss!
Me too! love that.
Hey Shayda!!!
As a person who struggles with watercolours and was scared about trying them out, you made me feel very comfortable with trying out the medium.
You are a great teacher!!!!
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I somehow lost the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Lee Colson Instablaster :)
You are an absolute delight to learn from! Thank you for your advice!
Happy to help!
Yep, the crayon technique brought me right back to elementary school! And I had totally forgotten about it until now. This was really informative!
I am so thankful to have found you, Shayda. I suffer from Chronic Pain from spinal damage. You have taken me off Social Media and its headaches and set my mind mind in a peaceful place.
I never thought I could ever do art, but my life is nature. You have given me the confidence to finally put the brush on the paper and relax. You have my deep gratitude 💐
My mother has the same condition. I hope it gets better for you.
❤️
Shayda, this was so clear and concise. Well explained without wordiness or rabbit trails. Thank you so much. You have such elegance and gentle humor.
For nearly a decade now, I’ve only been sketching and using exclusively mechanical pencil on any paper I can find. Using other mediums had never worked out for me, with painting in particular with acrylics always giving me the most trouble. You’re comments on art becoming a need to complete a piece instead of enjoying the process is something I’ve struggled with that whole time. A friend bought some watercolors the other day for fun, and I decided to use them out of boredom, and immediately fell in love. That anxiety of creating something that looks ‘right’ instead of enjoying it came back, though, and reading articles on techniques made me question my abilities more and more. And then I watched your video and realized how far from the truth that could be. Thank you for putting out helpful intros to the mediums like this to get folks like myself going!
Thank you for teaching I don't know anything about painting. I love to be able to play with the colours I love
I'm only recently getting into learning watercolour properly, but my main way of creating pieces is to use wax pencils. The principle is similar to the wax crayon, but obviously there's more precision and a wider colour palette. Especially since I struggled to learn the patience to wait for layers to dry (big obstacle in watercolour painting lol) I would create all of my lines/shapes and shading in a spectrum of greys (usually the warm... fellow warm grey advocate here, hi there!) and then just use washes of colour, almost like a colouring book. A lot of the pigment does come off but it helps me throughout the process, as I feel some of the obstacles in watercolour are just accepting that the early stages of your painting are going to be a bit bleh, and you have to wait and have confidence, whereas with this you can see the goal a bit better.
Thank you sooo much! I realize this is an older video, but you’ve made me feel like I can actually use watercolor ❤️. I am not an artist, but I love paint and crafty things. I cannot wait to try some of these techniques.
Just had to say, that as I was watching your tutorial, I realized that I also watched your needle felting tutorial on Needle Felted Owls!! So, thanks again for your great explanations!! 😃♥️
I’m so grateful for you Shayda 🤍
Love the encouragement to just have fun with trying new techniques!
Hi.This was so good.I started painting quite after 40😊..Do so enjoy ur videos.
I learn English from you and painting as well my mase like always told me I love your language the way you speak so
Thanks
I am brand new to watercoloring. This was such a helpful video!
Hi Shayda! i just wanted to let you know how much I am learning from your videos. They are so good that I have be come a Patreon! Actually a couple months ago, but wanted to let you know they are wonder and I really enjoy them! Thanks!
Thanks I did not know all these different techniques, the way you hold your brush is quiet unique
This makes me excited to get started sooner. I knew about wet on dry, wet on wet, and egg tempura but not anything beyond that.
So pretty and you are a wonderful "explainer". I love your way to bring across new ideas.
You’re not a camera you’re an artist 👏 love it ❤️
I’ve Just found your video, cannot say enough of how helpful it was! I would really like to learn how to use watercolor, and as a doctor, I know nothing about it! So now I feel encouraged to try and play, and even invite my son to play along! You made a very important point on not being so tough on ourselves. Specially for those of us who aren’t artists! Thank you so much!!!! Following everything you do from now on!💐🙏🏻
Your last word 🥲 thank you
I love your eyes! and absolutely your watercolor techniques!
My eyes:

Thank you! Hello from Canada! :)
Starts at 2.00 minutes. She is THE BEST teacher...she has really freed me up from tight, scrunched up shoulders work. She also nailed it with her supplies list!! The Arteza markers are the world’s best, to name one. Every video has helped me so much. Thank you~~
This is great, Shayda! I can't wait to try these out! ❤️
This looks like so much fun! Thank you for teaching us how to do it. Never worked with watercolors before. 🌺💙💚😍
I absolutely love your philosophy and approach to art! I feel so inspired and excited to start experimenting with watercolours (and very glad that I came across your channel!) - thanks so much for this video; it's such a great way (and mindset) for people to start painting with :)
Brilliant! I’m excited to get started!
Shayda you are A M A Z I N G !!! i was just looking for a video like this!
Such fun and really encouraging to “color outside the lines” and try new things...very good practice and example of creating something of beauty with artistic creativity for a beginner like me!!! I’m trying all these techniques today. Thank you

Thank you Shayda❤️
👏👏👏yes lived it , gonna try it ty
the crayon is brilliant!
Love this one - so useful 😃👍👏 Thank you 🙏🏻 Shayda 👏🙏🏻👍😃
Gracias por esas técnicas de acuarela, son muy útiles para los que estamos aprendiendo.
Thanks for a wonderful, informative video! I think watercolors are so beautiful, but they really intimidate me. This is helpful, and I subscribed!
Do you have a video about what paint palette a beginner should use, and also what pains? I have only student grade paints from when my kids were in high school. Ps, I love your accent. What is it? I live in rural Western Australia. No accent here just lots of great slang! Thank you for your video, I really enjoyed it. This weekend' project if I can get some paint!
Shayda you are so much great I
I really enjoy learning from your videos! They are always so inspiring and encouraging! They just open my imagination doors to try something outside of my painting comfort zone! Thank you again!
Shayda, this is fantastic:) thank you so much and glad I found you:)
So glad!
Thanks a lot for nice video👌👌
Love the tutorial! Definitely trying them on my art! 💖😘🙌🏻
Wow, thank you for teaching us about that kind of technique. Just surprised about the salt. :D
excellent tutorial,
This is so cool, and you are very talented!! Thank you for teaching us!! :)
It's my pleasure
This is amazing 😍 gonna try them all 🙌
I started out drawing years ago. I wish I would have started when I was real little but I've always loved art when I was little. But since we were so poor I was never never able to get any art supplies as a child. But I loved art. I am 41 years old right now and probably 10 years ago I started drawing again. And then I moved onto acrylic painting. Made a few canvases posted them on Facebook then I got request for people wanting me to do them a canvas and I got paid for it also people bought the ones I painted. It turned out to be too much I did sell some and do some request and I just quit. And then I realize there was watercolor paper and acrylic paper I went a little nuts yesterday at Michaels and got a whole bunch of stuff. I love the watercolor paper for even drawing so I bought four different kinds of watercolor paper for drawing for a diary basically in the Diary of painting my watercolor on my watercolor. I subscribe to you because you really helped me figure out how to watercolor basically. And u made it easy to learn and informative. Thanks so much!!!
That was great! 💗
Shayda, what is the difference between an artist and an illustrator ? How do you describe yourself? I love your videos especially this one! Thanks!
Good question! I think it's kind of a blurred line. I would say that all illustrators are artists, but not all artists are illustrators. Illustrators are sort of designers in a way. They use their own unique voice to draw/paint the world and reflect it back to us. Anna Rifle Bond is probably one of the best known illustrators of our time. Her work for her company Rifle Paper Co is so iconic. She paints flowers, women, cities, all common forms that we are familiar with, and yet her work carries a certain retro warmth that I think a lot of people identify with. Art can be anything from a signed urinal to the cover illustration for the New Yorker, but when I think of an illustrator's work, I think of a piece that redesigns common forms. Illustrations can be provocative, but they certainly don't have to be. I would open this question up to everyone! What do you think? Art vs. illustration? What's the difference ?
@@ShaydaCampbell thank you
My teacher used this video in class :)
I just started watching your channel. I'm an acrylic painter but want to expand and try other mediums. I can't wait to get started what type of paint do you suggest what brand? You channel is amazing I searched art studio ideas and that's how I found you. I'm finding ideas for art studio remodel. Anyway beautiful channel very professional.
Cool, fun
"You're not a camera, you're an artist." Bam there on my wall so I can see it every day 😏😏😏😏😏😏😏
Love your work art, thanks so much
Please link to the brushes you are using, they look glorious!
🤩
Thanks so much! What do you recommend for the essential pen and paint set for a very beginner?
Many thanks.. great help
Hi Shayda, I've been watching your videos about watercolor painting. First of all, you make it look so easy. Just wondering what particular brush are you using at it seems to hold it's shape. I find that you don't have a link of brushes you use in Amazon. Hope you can share that with us. Thank you.
You have an interesting grip on the paint brushes. Were you taught this or is it your own? I'm guessing it is more comfortable for you but wondering if I should adapt my grip to this. ??
can u tell me which paper u used..loved ur techniques
I'm actually just 13 years old but this was really helpfull
I really want to try this. Is there a small pallet and a set starter pack you could recommend for beginners?
I really like your vids
Wet in wet can be a big problem for me as i put puddle of water, my sketch book paper will end up tear because its too wet :(
good
thanks for sharing another great video ;) What size and brand paint brush are you using? Also love the crayon idea, gosh I can't believe I never thought of that!
I often rely on my synthetic number 6 round brush. I haven't been able to find my exact brushes online, but I have a similar set of round brushes linked in the description.
I am struggling with paint brushes and paint, I feel like my brushes are not very sharp and the colors are not so pigmented.
I need that clock though
🙏🏻❤️
still hesitating to get started with it i always screw up..
What watercolor are you using?
