If you haven't heard, I have a brand new e-course! It's called 'Flower Power' and it's all about defining your own style as a watercolor artist. I also have a beginner watercolor e-course, that will take you through the absolute basics and get you painting with confidence! AND if you want you can bundle them together and save. Check it out at: www.shaydacampbellcourses.com

I'm 74 and have never doodled in my like and am trying to learn to paint also. This is sooo helpful and I'm getting the hang of these almost right off! Thank you so much

Even 2 years later, I still enjoy drawing these. It's so relaxing!

Agree :( made me give up and not watch this

This video is a great guide. What I also did was stop and Google each flower and really take it in and then see you how draw them and then go back to the actual flower photo and do my interpretation of the actual flower. This I feel will help me to develop my own style for florals.

Your flower drawings are always simple but elegant. You’re a great teacher, always explaining your process in an easy to understand way. Thank you.

You are one of the very few KZread art instructors who drops gems of wisdom continuously in you videos & without a syrupy, cutesy, ego-saturated voice using words like 'super' & 'just go on and' in every other sentence. You're a natural. Your shooting distance is just fine. Keep making these wonderful guides please in your own refreshing way. (I hope you 🙅 the criticism.) ☺️🤸✌️

This is my first time watching you. I was drawn to the way you hold your pencil. I taught school for 30 years and was always trying to figure out a way to get my little ones to hold a pencil "correctly" until a fellow teacher told me to take notice of adults and how many different ways people hold their pens while writing. I was a amazed at the many ways!! You are a perfect example of letting go of form and do what is comfortable for you. It is the final product not the way you get there. So true with so many other things too. Once I gave up trying to force a grip on a child and focused on the product life was so much easier for all of us. Love your tutorials. Thank you.

you explain very well... especially since you show the process from the beginning... soft geometric pencil marks, then more pronounced pencil marks, aproaching the final form. I LIKE!!! 🙂

the best flower tutorial ever

I can't wait to start drawing these for my first time... I was not to good in art class... but now that I am older and want to start bullet journaling and other things...I thought it would be good to learn to draw some things... I love flowers...especially the rose... wish me luck...

Its my first time watching your videos, Im actually pretty amazed with your artstyle and voice. Its so calm and the aesthetic of your setting.

I’m using my iPad to watch this video. After enlarging the screen I zoomed in manually and was able to watch each drawing easily. What a wonderful video. I never thought I could draw and with these wonderful instructions my flowers are looking great. Thank you for sharing your instructions with us!

The way you hold the the pencil is amazing 👍👍

This is so useful and your flowers are lovely. Just a note on parts though! The single *stigma* is the female part that sticks up higher than the many *stamen* (plural) which are the male parts surrounding it holding the pollen.

Lilock lol, sorry, I do love this video. This is the content I crave. Show me, step by step, then I can twist it and make it my own. If I just see the picture finished I usually end up copying it and I’d rather not. I prefer to learn how to make my own.

Hi there! I rarely comment on videos but I had to tell you that I watched this video once out of curiosity and once more following along. You have a soothing voice and you made it easy and in art making it look easy takes a lot of work. Thank you so much!

I drew that first flower it is the best little flower I've ever drew! Thank you for that! I was never able to draw it again but I really love that little picture! thank you again!

I love how you bring the flowers "to life" 🌻💐🌷💝

OH MY GOSH! I was totally amazed at how easy you make this look. I might even be able to draw these beautiful flowers. You can bet I'm sure gonna try. I'll let you know, thank you!

LOVED THIS! Definitely using these guidelines.. usualyy I just go in and start trying to draw it without utilization basic shapes first! 💕

Thank you for explaining the process as you’re drawing these flowers. As a beginner this is so helpful!

Brilliant. Not only did I learn how to draw the flowers-I learned their names! Thank you!

Me: still drawing the chamomile Shayda: and that's it, we're all done! This is 12 flower doodles that I know you can master. Me: w-wait... my brain can't follow you--. (I know I can pause the video, but it was funny how I basically took 20 mins for the first flower)

Love that you jump right in. Perfect speed and very easy to follow instruction. Thanks for these videos.

I did the first 6 in one seating. I loved the results! Your speed of operation is not an issue for me as I can pause and rewind as I please. Thanks you for letting me listen to your beautiful calming voice, it makes the process even more wholesome.

These flowers are wonderful. I totally enjoy watching you and I am inspired to practice my drawing. I am a card maker and want to incorporate drawing, instead of just stamping. Thanks

She is helping me a great deal. I love the way she just dives right in!! I can always go back. Well done.

Hello, Shayda! You made illustrating these flowers look easy, and I was excited to try it. I followed your tutorial and all of your instruction and I made a really cute recreation of three of these flowers. Thank you very much, you're such a good teacher. May you continually be blessed so you could inspire more people~ 🙏💖

for those of you who think Shadya is going too fast there are two solutions either pause until you catch up or use the settings in the right hand corner to slow down the video BTW great vid. Shaya

It would be neat to see a reference photo of each flower in the upper left-hand corner as you are drawing each. Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing.

Holding it like this is actually not as cramped as I imagined by looking at it. But, all movement has to come from the wrist and you have to move the whole hand with each tiny stroke. When you hold the pen by your thumb, index and middle finger, small moves are made with those fingers and you can steady your hand with the side of the palm and your pinky. Much better control

I like your teaching method; you explain everything in such a simple way that it's easy to follow along, and it's easy enough to stop the video and work on each flower, then move on to the next one. I appreciate, too, that whatever little bit of background music there might be is so low key that it doesn't interfere with your voice.

Hi Shayda. I’m a 4th grade teacher who lives in Sweden, originally a N. American. History, Math, Language... these are normal subjects for me. But when my headmaster told me I’d be teaching art this year I thought I’d croak! ART! Are you kidding. You have been an invaluable source of inspiration and instruction this year... You, Bob Ross, and Wennie from Draw so cute. I’ve even used your videos as English/Art interdisciplinary lessons, to keep kids actively listening. So, thank you for what you have done for me this year, both personally and in my profession!

I have reached some very unanticipated goals... we split the group into boys and girls (for very practical reasons last week)... so I had 10 boys painting watercolor roses... they did great! And it opened up such great conversation among them, when no girls were there! They admitted how fun it was, and told me they hadn’t finished practicing on regular copy paper when I offered them a piece of Canson cold-pressed! They wanted to make sure they were ready for that piece of REAL paper... so cute, so respectful, so careful... I was thrilled for them!

You explained these so well. Thank you! I do agree with zooming in for the pencil as well, but glad you zoomed in for the ink. I am watching on a 55 inch TV & the pencil was still hard to see. I will try a couple of these. I can't draw to save me, but would like to learn.

I've been going through an art block ever since I've been busy with college. And then today I stumbled upon this video and I thought I'd follow along with you and draw. Let me tell you it was so therapeutic and it made me happy just to following along with you. Thank you so much :) Can't wait to learn through your videos and find my love for art again!

That was so freakin' awesome! I succeeded about 85% of all the flowers... Glads were a bit off, as well as the lilac, but so fun! Thanks!

Hi Shayda. This video was great way of showing that it is up to the artist as to how they would like to portray what they see in nature. Also, it reminds me of my early days when I used to be obsessed with my paintings being perfect. As you rightly said nothing needs to be perfect. Imperfection is the beauty. Thank you for this illustration, it was great to see you to putting it down in a simple way. Looking forward to more videos.
