I tried this tonight and it came out really pretty (for someone that is new to all of this. Thank you for not making this look intimidating. I love your channel and am so glad I found you!
Shayda, I'm so glad I found your channel! You are inspiration in motion. I'm just learning watercolor and have struggled with this medium. Watching the brush strokes "on camera" is wonderful but, what really helped me with this one is the "off camera" techniques. Watching you mix the paints, add water to them, adding water to your brushes, blotting on paper...all very useful information for me! My watercolor set is very high in pigmentation and with this video I was able to get the right amount of water and paint! Thank you so much!
Rewatching this in 2022 brings a smile to my face. You seem so much younger and are so cute (of course you still are cute!). Your watercolor expertise has come a long way since those days, and I've learned right along with you. Thanks for years of great content!
The way that you used both of these techniques on similar but different subjects for wonderful but obviously different results is so good! I’m really pleased to see how well the sharp edge from the wet on dry piece worked to create that “edge” on each leaf and really make them seem for highlighted as a result. Ill have to keep this in mind for more drastic angles, since I tend to work wet on wet a lot but hadn’t understood the value of wet on dry for intentionally creating what looks like a sharp angle until just now. Thank you!
You are an amazing teacher! It been years since I have touched paint but I use to love paint. I’m getting back into it now and your videos have been an amazing refresh ✨
My favourite essential oil is eucalyptus! You made this tutorial so easy to follow. I have been wanting to complete on of your tutorials for some time now. This was my first one and I enjoyed it alot
Thank you for this tutorial on eucalyptus leaves, however I would've liked you to tell the name of the actual colour you mixed to make green. As you know there are many different blues and yellows to make green. And eucalyptus leaves come in many different shades. I was looking to see what colours you mixed to make the grey/green that they are here in my part of Australia. Thank you.
Hi, I just wondered what your view is on run backs (cauliflower). I've watched quite a few different videos and they all seem to be against them and try to avoid. What's your take on it? thanks
Most people want their areas smooth for even colors But usually when ur doing wreaths or leads people make it have califlowers for a whimsical look. I personally love them tho
Awesome tutorial, thanks! I would appreciate some tutorial with succulents! I am in love with them, but still sucking in watercolors painting them. Cheers from Canada !
You should do a class on Outschool!!! You can make classes that you teach on Zoom, that can either be one class or a whole week!!! I would definitely take your class because ive been taking so many watercolor classes on there!!! :) i WOULD BE SO GREATFUL IF YOU RESPONDED :)
So delicate and beautiful, it is a pleasure to watch you painting.Please, could you tell me the name of the black brush with a golden stripe? Thnak you and happy thanksgiving
I've been meaning to do a video about brushes. I will put a link the in description shortly and I also have an artist's holiday gift guide coming out Friday, and that will have some good brushes listed as well!
Jo Mana, I didn't see where she provided the information for the brushes. I was interested too. I found this link, www.createforless.com/Multicraft-Tools-Oriental-Art-Brush-Set-Liner-8pc/pid265770.aspx. This is for the smaller brush she is using.
I LOVE the Micron Pigma Pens.Can't have enough of them!!! I am also using alcohol markers a lot lately - but I definitely use the Micron pens everyday! Love your channel and the way you present things!!!!
Hey shayda ! Every time I do watercolour painting the page always warps even if I’m using a heavy weight paper 😞 what can I do to prevent this ? Am I using too much water perhaps ?
Three things: #1. Make sure the paper you're using is at least 140lb, the heavier paper will stand up to more water and won't always need to be stretched. #2. Yes, it could be that you're going a bit heavy with the water, but that's okay if that's your style! Which leads me to #3. If you use light paper and/or lots of water, or you just want to be an extra good artist, you can always stretch your paper and you will avoid all buckling. Here's my video on how to do that: th-cam.com/video/XsCJqJvls6E/w-d-xo.html
WOW - I'm so glad I found you on YT - a very happy accident! I love your technique and how wonderfully clear you explain step by step. Cannot wait to see all your video's. I do have a question please....what brand of paint brushes are you using? I'm trying out different brushes till I find the ones that work best for me (left-handed). Thanks from this somewhat beginner. You're so inspiring!! xx
Thank you, but what size (as in 4,6,8) and what is the brand of the brush with the gold ring around it please? I like how you handle that brush, Shayda. Do you sell your own brushes?
I'm sorry but I've now watched two videos of you trying "wet on wet" watercolor and I really get the impression that you absolutely hate it. I feel like you're very focused on the loss of control and that it makes you a bit crazy. So I wonder, if you hate doing it, why do it then? Just do what you love, and show us what you know about that.
What I really love is experimenting and trying new techniques. As an artist, I never want to stay in one place. Now, I'm a bit of a control freak, and I think a lot of people can relate to that, so I was sort of having a laugh at my own expense. ;)
um, no....wet on wet is applying wet paint on wet paper (wet with water, not wet with paint), and wet on dry is applying wet paint on dry paper, not dry paint.
I so appreciate how you simplify a technique , but still have a satisfying outcome, for a beginner like me
I tried this tonight and it came out really pretty (for someone that is new to all of this. Thank you for not making this look intimidating. I love your channel and am so glad I found you!
Did you use cheap or expensive watercolors? I want to try this but I don’t have expensive supplies

This came out so nice! They look realistic. I like how you used wet on wet and wet on dry it gives a cool depth effect.
Yes, I love the look of it!
Love painting with you. Thank you 🙏 Shayda
Thanks for this tutorial! I was struggling but the wet on wet made it look beautiful!
Glad I could help!

Wow! I'm so glad to hear that! The brushes I'm using our small nylon round brushes
Thank you, but what size (as in 4,6,8) and what is the brand of the brush with the gold ring around it please? I like how you handle that brush, Shayda. Do you sell your own brushes?
Hey my dear, thank
Me here wondering if I can recreate the water color look by watering down the chalk paints I have here 🤔
Con las letras de la traducción no se ve lo que estas pintando.
El video no se ve lo que estas pintando porque están las letras
So not intimidating! I may even actually paint tomorrow! Thank you, Shayda!
Love that!

i got so frustrated with this that i cried. LOL
um, no....wet on wet is applying wet paint on wet paper (wet with water, not wet with paint), and wet on dry is applying wet paint on dry paper, not dry paint.
