How To Paint Eucalyptus: Watercolor Techniques Explained

[@angelaschultz4700]

I so appreciate how you simplify a technique , but still have a satisfying outcome, for a beginner like me

[@gidgetb3679]

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!

[@dianedial4262]

I love the way you teach and explain. Thank you so, so much.

[@janicehellzen8765]

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!

[@mairalatif7501]

Did you use cheap or expensive watercolors? I want to try this but I don’t have expensive supplies

[@kellywest1032]

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!

[@brendacollinsdeeks7268]

I love eucalyptus. Thank you for simplifying the painting so I can try them!

[@JackJackIsBackBack]

Thanks for this tutorial! I was struggling but the wet on wet made it look beautiful!

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Glad I could help!

[@MeowMeowKapow]

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!

[@Gracesaves1]

Lovely and exciting!

[@MizzTrinaNY]

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.

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Yes, I love the look of it!

[@hardwoodhillshomesteadoffg4216]

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 ✨

Very nice Indeed.. 👍👍👍😊😊 Thanks for sharing 😊🌼 GOD BLESS YOU MORE 🙏

[@orieldel]

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.

[@petit-crampon]

That is the video I was waiting for ! Thank you sooooo much for sharing !!

[@Karen_Tries]

I think I’m about to make the second kind into a bookmark!

[@marioalejandro7549]

This is beautiful!!!

[@thejoyofthelordismystrengt8325]

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!!!!

[@lnorr1]

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

[@ashlynmilton9218]

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

[@ninan2698]

Hi Shayda, can I paint this on canvas?

[@marioalejandro7549]

Can you talk about the colors you used for eucalyptus. My problem is getting he colors correct, we’ll , that’s one of my problems. I’m a beginner 🙃

[@Pauline01]

I’d like to know about the names colors you mixed together too. Which cool green etc. you are a great teacher thank you

[@barbra429]

Hi, do you have a tutorial on how to paint monstera leaves and fiddle leaf leaves?

[@annam.wolleben4442]

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 !

[@theartofflorals]

i tried to paint using this technique and i guess it turned out good

[@cindymichelotti8132]

just what I wanted!! great explanation !

[@SlushGuppy]

Thank you! 💖🤗

[@muhlenstedt]

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

[@roni9639]

so inspiring, thank you:D

[@banaatoz2]

Hi, I would be interested in a video about brushes! Liked this Video a lot! Well done ! Can you list down the brushes you use ? Thanks Jo

[@ShaydaCampbell]

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!

[@marsbeads]

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.

[@1dhuey]

Did you outline the silver dollar ones?

[@KSG-bh3lx]

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 :)

[@elisabethtimmons3659]

[@coffinsssdn]

How do you control our colors

[@rgrdesigns]

Beautiful!

[@Tp_Sv]

Wow!! 💖

[@samanthaoconnor5771]

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 ?

[@ShaydaCampbell]

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqSme6SAq9GmbKc

[@samanthaoconnor5771]

Shayda Campbell thank you so much ! I’ll try all these techniques out !

[@jeangeorge3143]

Beautiful

[@malanke1986]

really enjoying your vedio

[@ginafriend1690]

Thank you!

[@MMGARC]

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

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Wow! I'm so glad to hear that! The brushes I'm using our small nylon round brushes

[@MMGARC]

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?

[@01fatina]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tonychen2900]

Con las letras de la traducción no se ve lo que estas pintando.

[@amj9103]

El video no se ve lo que estas pintando porque están las letras

[@jeangeorge3143]

Hey my dear, thank

[@P1DiscoGina]

So not intimidating! I may even actually paint tomorrow! Thank you, Shayda!

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Love that!

[@evonchristie2549]

Me here wondering if I can recreate the water color look by watering down the chalk paints I have here 🤔

[@Mcdiem1]

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.

[@ShaydaCampbell]

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. ;)

[@caitlinbeesley]

i got so frustrated with this that i cried. LOL

[@safi456]

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.
