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!

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.

I love that you are always reminding us that it doesn't have to be perfect. I always try to make things so perfect that i forget to learn and have fun doing it, so thank you for saying that so often!

You are one of the very few KZfaq 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.) ☺️🤸✌️

Camera is too far I think. Coulddo with more zooming 👍🏼

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.

1:48 shes the art teacher everyone wants BC SHE ACC PUTS SOMETHING TO HELP U DRAW IT oh and i luv u sm

thank you so much for this!! i grew up a toxic masculine mindset and thought flowers are "girly" (now i know there is nothing wrong with girly and embracing your femininity!!). this is my first time trying to draw flowers and you help so much, it was fun and calming and so clear ❤️

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!!! 🙂

Like many of the comments have expressed how grateful I feel for your making these drawings doable 👌🏼☺️

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.

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!

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...

Is it me or does she need to zoom in? My crappy phone isn't picking up her pencil/barely seeing the ink.

I love the narration! The voice is clear, clean, crisp, and concise! Perfect for instructions! 🥰

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 know you put this out on Fri. and I started to watch it but stopped myself. This is why, today is my birthday, and I want this for my treat!! And so it was!!! Thank You for all you do for us :)

Absolutely gorgeous. And so brave to do it all on one sheet.

Hi Shayda. Always wanted to draw and finally decided (in my old age) to pursue it. For the first time ever I was able to draw flowers that actually resemble the real thing. Thank you so much.

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.

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this amazing artwork! I spent all my day imitating you and I feel very happy to make the same flowers the same way you did, even though I still have a problem with leaves :-D ! God bless you Shayda and I really enjoy watching you... much love from Tunisia

Sometimes KZfaq videos teach us more stuff than a real teacher does. Respect from one artist to another!

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

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

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!

The more I watch (repeatedly)... the more I learn, and with lots of practice it starts to feel easier, you're a good teacher. Thank you, much appreciated! ;-)

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

Thank you so much. For the first time in years I’m excited about painting flowers!

This was really helpful, I appreciated seeing all the pencil guide marks. It helped me understand the decision making for petal placement, lovely work!

Just followed along. The first flower and the buttercups were so cute, the rest I murdered them 😆 🙊 ooh I finally made a somewhat decent rose for the first time in my life! Thanks.

I saw everything great. Especially once you go over it in pen. Thanks for sharing!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

okay my sketchbook is filled with Shayda inspired doodles now. Thank you for great tips and advice.

They're so pretty!💐

Love this! Thank you...I can now draw flowers😃. I LOVE flowers!

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.

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

Omg the way she’s holding the pencil is driving me to flashbacks of being smacked with a ruler in grade school!!!

Very beautiful flowers drawing my friend. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Shayda for sharing your experience with us.

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!

Love the flowers too Shayda, thanks for sharing your talent for us, now I'll try it.

Have just started learning to draw and looooved this video! Thank you.

So simple! Just wiggled my pencil around, and it came out beautifully! No joke. Thank you!!❤

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.

Think you could do one for mushrooms?

This was a lot of fun, flowers are one of my favorite things to draw.

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.

Me I’m ready to draw flowers! Eraser: this is my last day on earth

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

Thank you so much!!! I got 10 of them perfect on my first try!! Very helpful!!! Now I can paint my own flowers😊

Wonderful video, thank you. Isn't it weird how many people think that they need to comment negatively? I'll never understand that part of our society. Lovely work, thanks again for sharing it.

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

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)

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

I have really enjoyed all of your flower tutorials! Thank you!

Thank you for this tutorial! I did a doodle of each twelve with you. It really helped me break down these seemingly complicated shapes and details into manageable, easy chunks. I'll be sure to doodle these regularly. ^^

You are flower queen 👸 I just love the way you draw flowers 💐 😍 I am learning so many things from you... 😍❤💯

Thank you so much for the way you make this type of practise so accessible. I was a very keen "artist" when younger but went the way of craft and design and would love to go back to flower and plant drawing. This has really given me hope of being able to achieve something worthwhile.

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!

This helped me a lot I’m 10 and my drawing now look like artist Drew it

I enjoyed drawing these flowers. It was very relaxing and had a great experience. Thank you for teaching something new

Oh my goodness, I'm new to art and have been trying to draw flowers in my yard. 🌺 I was too intimidated by my lilacs and couldn't get a rose 🌹to come out well. Then, I landed on your video and absolutely love it! 🌿 I can't wait to draw all of these flowers and practice. 🌻 Thank you very much!!! 🌼

OMG this is exactly what I need!!!! I love your style so much!

You are such a good artist that my teacher used this as an example video to watch in class lmao

I love how you draw the flowers

While I consider myself an animal artist, I learned by drawing flowers. I actually remember the day I figured out I would be an artist. Flowers were really involved in my learning process, Peonys are my favorite to draw.

Beautiful collection of flowers. These are so simple. Loved this one so much!

I love this!! Thankyou for making these so easy to learn, I've never seen anyone use a guide like this, amazing!✨👏🏻

i love gladiolas too!!!! they are my fav,i have all colors in my garden!

I managed to turn a 20 minute video into my whole lunch hour while I sketched along with my 2H pencil (no time to fineline, maybe later), pausing to catch up and occasionally eat my leftovers. Most of mine came out pretty good. Thanks!

Yessss!!!! Floral doodles are my favourite!!

I think you need to zoom in a lot more and maybe slow down just a little tad x also maybe a video on how to actually draw the petals might be handy 💙

Thankyou for this lesson I noticed the way you hold your pen thats interesting way of holding the pen brilliant 👍😎

Love the way you teach, I will be trying it. Thanks for yourhelp.

Thank you for your doodle videos! Although your "doodles" are such beautiful art! Keep them coming :)

I come here as a beginner then I realize this is a beginner for an intermediate level. *cries in the corner*

Thank-you so much. I love listening to you while you teach. You have a nice lilt in your voice.

I agree with the camera comments, but apart from that, this tutorial was so fun and easy to follow! I'm so thankful, because I'm going through a depressive episode and can't really see anything that I might be good at... You gave me hope, and I really loved the result I got with these doodles. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I don't know why I'm crying, lol.

Loved this, bit fast but so much info that I can really use. Thank you!

i like your voice. it's the friendly sweet mom who lives in a cozy house kind of voice.

I also made these 10 beautiful flowers with your guidance thanks for your help

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~ 🙏💖

Each flower takes her 5 minutes Imagine what she could do in an hour.

Can't hide how good you are...thanks for the tips...but you are driving me nuts with how you hold the marker...

I love your style...so simple, clean and elegant. You inspire me!!!

Thank you I love it I needed to spice up my bullet journal 📓 just needs a little bit of zooming in 💜💜🙌🙌🙌

This is amazing 😍 I really should try and practice each of them...

so inspiring video! I need to try this flowers but i was little distracted by your wird way of holding pencil :D For me it must be so uncomfortable

Omg! Thank you I started with your leaves drawing. I always thought I was really bad at drawing but your KZfaq videos are changing this. Seriously thought I was hopeless. So thank you very much !

Thanks for sharing how to make these beautiful flowers and the rose hips, too!

this was so cool! watching this video really motivated me in drawing. the art style is so aesthetic and beautiful! amazing work :)
