Joyful Watercolor Online Workshop – Strathmore Artist Papers
Shayda Campbell’s Joyful Watercolor Workshop is now open and it’s completely FREE to watch and paint along! Shayda is a Canadian artist and YouTube content creator. Her channel is a calm, inspirational space where you can approach the basics of watercolor painting, illustration, journaling, and more! She aims to take the fear out of the artistic process and encourage adults toward a casual, daily art practice. ‘Because creativity is play, anyone can do it!’ She’s teaching us her best watercolor tips in this four-video series.
In this workshop, you’ll fill a watercolor sketchbook with playful illustrations, beautiful floral compositions, watercolor techniques, and finished pieces. Shayda will help you feel confident, calm, and creative in your art-making journey.
