How I Create Professional Chalkboard Art

[@letteringbylaura3031]

Just when I think she does it all....she does more....bless your heart Shayda. You are just so inspiring!

[@Jerry10939]

For sharpening the chalk try sandpaper by rotating the chalk tip on it till you get a sharp point.

[@MartRam16]

Wow! I always wondered how grocery stores perfected those! Thank you for sharing!! I always wanted to know and what great tips!! Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@themancavesalon2479]

Watching you shave the chalk gives me chills. Even thinking about it gives me chills hahaha I just don't like the feeling so I can never bring myself to do it 😐

[@lorihill5372]

Thank you Shayda for sharing your chalkboard process. This piece of art is even more stunning in person. So glad I got to see it and meet you and Chris. Happy PEI winter ... Bundle up and stay warm! Looking forward to many more videos from you. 😀

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Thanks, Lori! We will! I'm looking forward to hibernating and working full time on KZbin. Thank you so much for visiting and for supporting the shop! :) Hope to see you again.

Love that sand box!

[@danjones3009]

Cool..Looks great👍 Also a damp Q-tip for fine detailed chalk removal works great. Seasoning the board ahead of time can help in creating cool shadow effects too.

[@mniaodhagain5180]

Hi Shayda I hope you had a successful season xxxx

[@TheTrippyCity]

Another option that many artists use is actually paint pens instead of chalk. This will of course be harder to fix errors but it makes it easier in terms of not needing to sharpen chalk.

[@kathyhaynes6818]

Gorgeous sign! Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!

[@alib405]

Beautiful!

[@WellOfEchoes]

Brilliant tutorial Shayda, thank you. I know this is an older video now but nonetheless still just as relevant today. I learned a great deal about chalkboard art. I’m wondering though if I’d need to start using my right hand though as I’m left handed...time to get the old camcorder out and see if it has that same function to display the image like yours does. I really hope so. 👏🏼😁🤞🏼

[@stephaniesingleton8644]

Thank you Shayda this is a great video!!!!💕💕

Wow, I learned a lot, thank you! Your store looks lovely!

Milk is white and looks like liquid chalk I'd say you have a great steady handwriting on a board like that

[@ColleenM61]

New subscriber here and what a great shock to see your face! You look so much like my little sister it's uncanny! She even wears her hair very similar, she's quite a bit older than you (But she still looks very young, she never seems to age) I'm going to have to direct her to this video when I see her tomorrow, she'll get a kick out of it. Your shop is darling! Quality shop in a beautiful area with a great name! We used to summer there when I was growing up. Haven't been there in 30 years! It's a perfect place for a shop like yours! Wish you happiness and prosperity in your new adventure.

[@hannahdare4350]

This is amazing!!!!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@JackjackattackIsback]

You can sharpen the chalk in a regular handheld pencil sharpener too

[@heidicampbell5276]

JackjackattackIsback that’s what I prefer .... a the larger side of a double “make-up” pencil sharpener ..the chalk won’t break and you get a nice sharp point ..

[@jessjtadesigns]

How beautiful! I want all that wool too🌻

[@ShaydaCampbell]

I'll be doing a pre-Christmas online pop-up shop this November. And I'll be sure to include lots of the beautiful PEI wool. More info coming soon!

[@jessjtadesigns]

Shayda Campbell incredibly awesome to hear!! Cannot wait, thank you Shayda💖🌞💗

[@lilycritchley4246]

You are so amazing your my favourite youtuber

[@nokm2006]

In case you spray it, will i be able to erase it again? Thanks

[@SewWhittle]

Can I ask how you determine what to charge for this type of work?

[@simonlister5685]

She can't charge much as it's not free handed. She's just copying which to me is cheating.

[@therittzer7334]

@@simonlister5685 work is work. "Cheating" or not... if the customer is satisfied, money is green...

[@mufflehead]

Thanks for this helpful video! Do you have any tips for cleaning a board on which the chalk (especially paint from glass markers) has set and simple water and cloth won’t do?

[@savannahnotenbomer1440]

Joyce Koetsier magic erasers are awesome!

[@pamketron]

I just love to watch you create. You can do anything! Are you staying at PEI for the winter? 🙃

[@ShaydaCampbell]

First winter in PEI this year!

[@pamketron]

Shayda Campbell Yay! Can't wait for you to give us a tour there for fall and winter. Awesome tutorials of you drawing the things around you. Enjoy your week! 🌺🌾🍃🌿🍂🍁🌻

[@EndohMiharu]

Omg I totally thought people free handed chalk designs 😂

[@roberttate9901]

Some people with talent can.

[@simonlister5685]

I do this for a living and the way she does it is time consuming and mainly not her own work. Freehand all the way. I'd pay her £20 to do that.

[@CMOEUVRE]

Simon Lister if you don’t mind me asking, how much do you charge? I’m doing my first 2x4 ft chalkboard menu for a friend. Charging him $100 but I would think for a regular client I’d need to charge $200. There will be food artwork on there as well.

[@simonlister5685]

@@CMOEUVRE sorry for the late reply as I've only just seen this. Firstly don't lower prices for "regular" customers as they will want it lower and lower till you are pretty much doing it for free. I work on the basis of board size, script or art or both, how fast you work etc. For that size I'd charge £150 and it's in the style you decide as you're the artist not them. If you have to black the board out first then charge more and charge more for waiting for it to dry. If you want more info you can contact me directly on email [e-mail] Ps are you using pens or brush and paint?

[@CMOEUVRE]

Simon Lister I’m sorry for the late reply as well 😂 I didn’t get a notification until I checked my junk folder. Anyway, thank you so much for your feedback! I’ll email you going forward. Btw, I’m using paint pens.

[@TheUpsetter]

You could spray hair lacquer over it it to set it temporarily.

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing

[@artsymamafive5550]

May I ask What do you charge for chalkboard lettering when people commission you?

[@kyukun8888]

cheap you you? how much the projector cost you?

[@sandraosullivan5773]

I love this so unique. I also love your sweater in the first intro!! Love the neckline... keep up the good work and I look forward to more videos for the winter. I hope you will do more needle felting 😁😁

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Thank you! I'm glad you said that; just bought the sweater at Value Village and wasn't sure if it was hot/not. LOL More needle felting coming up this fall!
