My favorite gift was a Spirograph. It allowed me to create interesting shapes and another way to draw. Merry Christmas!
Oh Wow Kaarin! I had a Spirograph when I was about 10. You've just taken me back to some really good moments. Wasn't it mind blowing when you first used it, and the patterns you could create?! I used to be in awe hahaa...
My favorite gift was a Thumbelina doll. I wanted that doll for a long time, but the best part of receiving is to be so grateful that you are able to pass it on to someone who wants it just as much as you do and I did just that. I passed it on to my sister as soon as I opened it. My greatest gift that Christmas was seeing her joy when I gave it to her.
Not shopping in stores, so this is a TOTAL BLAST to be able to make my own greeting cards! You are a simply wonderful teacher (and I have taught adults) as you keep it simple, and empowering each step with calm reassurance. Thank you. Christie
The wonderful thing about art is it's so subjective and it's in the eye of the beholder. I appreciate different styles of art, some more than others, but it's such a beautiful creative outlet.
Can you do more tutorials with watercolor pencils? This one is so beautiful and great 👍
Just bought water color pencils for grandkids! After watching video I'm positive they will love using them.Going to try the flowers myself! Cant wait.
Thank you so much for helping me using my watercolor pencils. I'm a beginner and always felt I had to work with color...Thanks
My favourite Christmas gift was a magic trick set! I wanted it so much and I was the happiest kid ever when I opened the gift!
The year my very generous grandma died, I was ten years old. That year my father was out of work for 8 months as well. Before that, we were used to huge gift hauls and loved every minute. My ten-year-old Christmas gift was a Barbie and a music stand to share with my brother. He also got a GI Joe. This was my greatest gift because I finally realized all the love that went into the Christmases past. My mother sacrificed and saved from her grocery budget to get even those basic things for us. My gift was to see what love goes into sacrificing for your kids. It stuck. I'd sure like one of the gifts you showed but will be happy for whoever is lucky enough to get them.
For many years at Christmas my parents would wrap up new, soft, cuddly pajamas for me! I looked forward to new PJ's every year and to this day my fondness for new pajamas continues! A simple gift that has turned out to be a special memory of my childhood in Massachusetts. Merry Christmas!
Happy Holliday’s to you and your Husband and family.
Christmas was our grandmother’s birthday. Looking back, the best gift we ever had for Christmas was our Grandmother or Bobonne as we called her.
Her gift was our joy in cooking and beeing creative. A gift she gave us for ever. She left us in 1986, but still lives in our hearts. Love from Belgium
I received clay for Christmas one year. It was clay with the best texture I had ever felt up until that point in my life (I was around 13 years old). I only got two colours, red and blue, but I was so excited because it held shapes beautifully and wasn't as hard as other clay I had (also they were huge pieces!). So my imagination literally had no bounds as far as shapes go. I'm sure that moment sprouted all my love for clay. I, now 26, rediscovered the craft in the form of polymer clay and its the best thing since the blue and red clay because now I can bake it and my creations can live on and become useful!
Thank you so much for this video... I am a total newbie to watercolour other than as background for my calligraphy. This looks like I can give it a try with confidence.
I've had watercolor pencils for a long time but never really used them.. now I'm inspired to..thanks Shayda.. love your work.. my favorite gift as a child was a baby cot.. it was floral plastic with lace lol..loved it.. thx again..
Wow, I am a complete beginner and have watched this several times now to really study what you are doing….so many techniques here! I love it!🥰😍
Glad it was helpful!
I am a beginner to watercolors, I found it so relaxing, my best gift as a child was crystal am radio that my dad helped me put it together. You could hook it on the window screen am pick up AM stations. Best gift ever.
My favorite gift I got as a kid was a homemade dollhouse! It was incredible!! It even had light fixtures in it that actually worked!! I cannot wait to give this a try with my watercolor pencils! Would love to see more tutorials on this!!
I was so in love with watercoloring, scrapbooking, and drawing when I was younger. You have re woke that creative side of me again 😌❤️❤️ thank you!
Thank you. I use acrylics but so interested in watercolours, I recently picked up some pencils but haven’t used them yet 😊
Wow, I am a complete beginner and have watched this several times now to really study what you are doing….so many techniques here! I love it!
THANK YOU !!!!! Very helpful for a total beginner like me. Bought a pack of water color pencils for a birthday present for myself, - because omg they are so pretty. But had no idea where to start, and didn't want to "waste" them.
Love this video. I'm new to watercolor pencils. My favorite Christmas gift as a child was a Sears Sewing machine when I was 13 years old. I'm still sewing.
That is awesome! I love it :)
My favourite Christmas gift when I was a kid, was a collage box. It was a wooden hinged box, with a handle, like a briefcase, and my parents had filled it with all sorts of crafting goodies, such as glue, different types of paper, gummed paper shapes, felt, scissors, etc. I loved it, and spent many happy hours making pictures with the contents.
Thank you Shayda for bringing water-coloring into my life :) I previously thought that watercoloring and painting is only for the talented people but your videos tell us that everyone can draw and paint and that art is a way of expressing ourselves :) Wish you have a happy Christmas and a wonderful year ahead with more video productions
My favorite gift as a child was a light box for tracing. I traced fashion models from magazines and made them into paper dolls with my own designs for hats, coats, dresses, gowns, boots. I loved it! I got back into creating art again with adult color books and recently took a watercolor class. I am so happy to be creating again! I try to paint or learn something new every day!
Whimsical and fun! Great for greeting cards as well. Thank you! My favorite gift growing up was a Breyer horse: a beautiful rearing Appaloosa.
Thanks. I enjoyed the last watercolor flowers. You made them come to life with the pen illustration over the watercolor. I don't have drawing talent, but with ideas can give something small like that a try. I liked all my gifts as a child..many were supplies for DIY projects. A Charlie the Tuna plush rug was unexpected and a favorite too.
How gorgeous! Thank you so much for this beautiful and easy introductory lesson.
This is so whimsical and happy. I love this style. Best Gift I recieved as a child, the year my dad went shopping and picked out my gifts himself. Hot Pink earrings and a wallet in the same color.
And I've now done my very first watercolor picture..,thank you!
Omg thank you! I've been struggling with my water color pencils, I didn't realize to use the techniques you're using!
Always love your floral arts! I was blessed as a kid and there are so many cool things I remember getting for Christmas! But probably the top would be a polly pocket town set, it had a magnet track hidden just underneath the set so when you put on the main doll ( who had a little magnet under her feet) she could move all around town and into her house. It also made the toast pop up in the toaster when you moved her into the kitchen! Man the attention to detail! So cool
I love your tutorials. They really break things down and give me confidence that I can create, too. The best Christmas gift I got as a child was the huge make up caddy from Estee Lauder. You could only get it at Christmas at Hudson's. I wasn't allowed to wear make up till I was 15, so this was the greatest gift ever.
This is my first time watercolouring and I love it. I live in a small city in Canada where they just opened a craft store and I am so excited. I live in New Brunswick. As I am just beginning a little extra supplies would be awesome. The best Christmas gift I received was a piano at twelve years old. I have always loved any kind of art, colouring, painting.I would so much love to receive this wonderful gift.
I love your videos so much . Beijing a person with many disabilities especially an eye condition . You make these videos for me to fallow do easily. I got inspired by watching you draw
God bless 💞💖
I'm so glad! Enjoy :)
I've loved reading since I was very young, so I loved getting books for Christmas. But when I was in high school I received a sketchbook, some pencils and charcoal and fell in love with art (though I never did get good with charcoals). I went to high school long enough ago that we still had art classes, and one semester we did watercolors. I didn't get comfortable enough with it to continue it, but watching your videos has inspired me to try it again. I've ordered watercolor paper and paints, and am looking forward to getting on it. I'm sure it won't be quite as easy as you make it look. So glad I happened on your channel a few months ago!
Awwww! 😊 The most memorable gift I was given as a child was on a Christmas that we had very little money or food and I received a feather pen. It was deep green and at least a foot tall. It was the most magnificently creative thing I had ever seen. And right there, my love of stationary began! ❤️ I still treasure that memory, so thank you for reminding me to stop a while and think back to where my delight first started!
Merry Christmas Shayda, sweetheart!
My favourite present ever was a book, a copy of Bedknobs & Broomsticks, to which I still treasure today and I still have! I'd read it to my 3 children as their chosen 'most bestist' & favourite bedtime story. I adore your tutorials as you inspire me to draw & paint more and for this I have much gratitude - thank you 😘
I have used water color pencils and love them but could use direction. I loved this video. One of my best Christmas gifts as a kid... it’s hard for me to say because I remember the feeling of Christmas more than the stuff I got. I do think I received a RoseArt kit one Christmas and it was certainly a gift that kept on giving- it had markers, pastels, pencils and more.
I love using water color pencils instead of regular color pencils. I just like how they look. Every now and then I will use them with water. This tutorial made me want to actually use them for water coloring. Thanks.
Hello from the US!
I love your tutorials!
My favorite gift as a child was a bottle cutting tool. It allowed me to cut off the tops of glass bottles, of any size or shape, to then paint the bottoms. I especially liked painting little dainty florals and giving them as gifts.
Dear Shayda i recently started using watercolor pencils sans water as i was not sure how to use water. I am so greatful to you for teaching it . Blessings to you and your family
Love this tutorial my daughter bought me a watercolour pensil set for my birthday today which brought me to u, my favourite gift I ever got as a child was a doll on rollerskates I loved that doll xx
My favourite Christmas gift as a child was a kids art starter kit filled with markers, paint, crayons and colour pencils. It got me into drawing for fun.
My favorite Christmas present was a peacock quilt made by my mom to put on my first "big-girl" bed. I've been fascinated with what you can do with fabric (and colors in other art forms) ever since.
Merry Christmas! Enjoy watching you. This kind of lose painting I can do. Thank you for sharing. My favorite gift was my first kitty. Have not been without a kitty since. Bless you and yours!
OHHH! To receive my very own acrylic paintbrushes was such a thrill in one of my childhood Christmases! Still have them! They have aged well as I take good care of them.
THANK YOU, Shayda, for all the delightful inspiration you share with us!!!
My favorite Christmas gift as a child was a toy tin mixer...must be why I love to bake today.
My youngest sibling was born in mid December....he'd be my favorite Christmas 'gift'. I love your project!
That is so cute
I received a little vinyl suitcase that had basic sets of oil paints, oil pastels, crayons, charcoal, and my first ever kneading eraser. My mother was surprised that it just encouraged me to try more and different things, instead of being the end of my journey. Thank you for having a give away. I hope my entries recorded, it kept bouncing me back to the beginning. Peace to you.
Love these flower sketches. They are so cheerful and colorful and actually look doable for a newbie. :)
Fav Christmas gift as a child is a ring💗. Size 5 with sapphires and diamonds made into a flower🌺 I still have it decades later
My favorite gift as a child was a set of pencils, sketch pad and portfolio case. I had decided (at age 8) that I would grow up to be a fashion illustrator and this gift made me feel that I just might.
What a lovely giveaway! I think my favorite Christmas gift I received as a kid was a Chrissy doll in the late 60's. She was so fun to play with and her hair could expand or shorten in length with a push of a button. I still have her, although she is tucked away in a safe place. 😊
Wow this looks like something I can actually do! I recently got watercolour pencils for my birthday and I'm so intimidated by them because I usually do oil and acrylic painting, and normal watercolour has never worked for me. I'm gonna try this!!
Thanks so much for explaining what you are doing and the reasons why! I got a begginers set as gift quite some time ago and finally decided to give it a shot. After watching your videos I finally know where to start.
I remember one Christmas I got one of those racetracks for small cars and I think I remember exactly that gift is because my dad and his brothers all grown-ups played with it all-day 😀
I had never heard of water color pencils, and my husband convinced me to purchase some today. And then I find your video (love your videos) . so excited to try this gorgeous sketch! Thank you
This was so so much fun! such pretty results even for a complete beginner. Thanks for explaining so well!
These flowers look very pretty. The penwork gives nice definition to them.
I’m from the Netherlands. We don’t celebrate christmas with gifts, we do Sinterklaas on december 5th. My favourite gift was this little template set where you could draw a lady and then add clothes with the same templates and colour them in. That’s how I first got into designing my own clothes.
Lisette001984 g
Same here on both counts! I’m a dutchy and I also had one of those template things, mine was pink and i still have it after all these years.
Omg I had some of those...lol
Just found your video - Too late to enter your give-away, but I wanted to say I enjoyed watching this. My favorite Christmas toy was the original Spirograph back in the 1960s. Yes, I am a senior citizen. I am going to try this watercolor technique with my Spirograph, which I still use to this day. Thanks for the inspiration of now trying out watercolor.
Soooo I just completed my first ever watercolour with my new watercolour pencils and your tutorial 😁 eek I’m so proud.
Thank you to the moon x
This is where I wish we could share photos once we've tried it, on the thread. As I'm going to try today too! I'd love to yours!
That's what I thought...let me see your watercolor. Glad you tried it.
I love these tutorials. I don’t have much time to water color these days but I do get inspired when watching yours. As for my favorite gift I got when I was young was a handmade doll house my Dad made me.
The best Christmas present I ever got was a battery moved puppy which barked, walked and sat. The controls were attached to the toy with a wire and I always pretended to be a leash. I got that 36 years ago and still have it. It works too!! I just need to change the batteries 😊
I’m a complete beginner to drawing and really love the way you explain things. Thank you.
Loved the tutorial. I'm self-teaching thru videos and painting florals are my favorite. My favorite childhood Christmas gift came from Santa. It was an organ that I got the year I was in the third grade. The first song I learned and still know by heart to this day is Silent Night. Thanks for the chance.
Thanks for demonstrating watercolor pencils. I have them and have always struggled with how best to use them. Your project is simple and beautiful at the same time.
My favorite presents were always the dolls. I loved my babies and played with them for many years. I still have several of my favorites.
The best Christmas gift I received as a kid, besides books, was my first oil paint by number kit. They weren't putting acrylic paints on those kits yet.
Beginner! First time watching and 78 years old. Am ready to add to my coloring habit
You got this! Welcome to the channel :)
Great!!! I'm almost 70 and started watercoloring last year but not the pencils... will try now!!!
To be honest i havent recieved a christmas gift in my life in christmas except for neighbourhood treats . Coz we dont celebrate christmas . But i love the time christmas season . It brings so much joy and color.. ❤❤ especially i love to watch family movies on christmas .HOME ALONE was my favoirite in my childhood. Still i am not tired of watching. It gives so much warm feeling to me.
I'm a year late for entry... but.. had to share... I've sketched with charcoal and ink, very similarly for decades. I found water color pencils quite a while ago, I couldn't even say how long ago... my first set, was windsor-newton, I Believe. A few years back, I found inktense pencils and blocks, and Now I have Tonic Studios, 5 tin set. I Do love w.c. pencils. Often, I use them to color stamped images, as well as drawings, but, when I say "similar" I Only mean the Way you loosely create your flowers, and 'make up vines and stuff. I never really bothered to sketch it in WC pencil THEN draw around it. You are Very Inspiring!!
christmas best gift! just spending time with family .
My favorite Christmas gift as a child, and to this day, was my cat, Kelly. We were together for 23 years.
Awww!
This is so sweet!!!
❤❤❤
TheCheaPet I used Christmas money to adopt our new kitten Lana. She’s the best gift :)
23! I love to hear that!
I really enjoyed your introduction to watercolor pencil painting. I like your sample floral piece and will di something similar to make a welcome plaque for my front door which is fully shaded.
I...I did it. I made a picture with watercolor pencils for the first time. And it looks GOOD. ☺️ so proud of my little flower splatters. Thanks Shayda
Hi, from Downunder! My favourite gift as a child was my bike, i remember how awesome it was to get it, especially how santa managed to find where i was 400km away from home at our grandparents house for Christmas, happy holidays....
Absolutely beautiful! I finally used my watercolor pencils for the first time today thanks to your wonderful tutorial.
I've always wanted to try watercolor painting and this was the perfect project to start! Thank you so much, I had the most fun doing this and it came out pretty great for my first try, loved it
My favorite childhood gift was a child's sized metal table and chairs set that had a chalk board in the center. Merry Christmas!
First time using watercolor pencils. Loved your tutorial. Thank you so much! :)
Gf!! I love love, love this one. I really feel less intimidated watching your tutorials. You're just down to earth!! Thanks for sharing your passion!!

Thank you so much!!
Thank you for sharing your video. Thank you for zooming in.... I appreciate the close-up of your beautiful art❤❤🎨🎨
oh wow you make it look so easy.very inspirational and love the look of it.thanks for sharing
Hi ... I did it, followed your tutorial and got the exact same results you did. I put it on Facebook and sent all 3700 of them here to try it. This is so easy ... I think it would be a lot of fun for kids even at a birthday party.
Oh thank you! I really appreciate you sharing my videos! That is the best thing you can do to support the channel ❤️ Do glad yours turned out well 😊
Thankyou for this beautiful beginner picture, I have the pencils just need to watch your video over and over and have a go 😊
This was very cute. I can’t afford the class on drawing. Thanks for the offer and hope you’re doing wonderful, Shayda Campbell.
Beautiful beautiful video, my husband just gave me a big box of fab watercolour pencils, so I was delighted to find your video! I’m away to have a go, thank you! ☘️☘️☘️
Have fun!!
My seven year old twin granddaughters and I had so much fun making pictures today from your great tutorial . They turned out very cute. Thanks!!
Thank you! I love the flowers and will draw some in my journal. I am the youngest in my family so I received many hand-me-downs. This included my big clunky bicycle that was so old it was embarrassing to ride. One year I received a beautiful blue brand new Schwin with gears and hand breaks. Great fun! I love your videos. They spark my creativity.
Wow, I'm impressed! First video that delivers on being easy for newbies using watercolor pencils, especially if you practice and experiment even a little bit. Thanks.
The best gift I ever got was a baby alive doll when they first came out, and I got a highchair and baby carriage with her. Having a doll that could really eat was totally new and exciting and I felt like I really had a real baby. I would push her around in her carriage and put her in her high chair to feed her, and it was just magical. It was really special because my parents had 13 children and could not afford to buy a lot of toys for us for Christmas. My Mom and Dad had 5 children, they adopted 5 and we had 3 foster children for several years while there father was in prison. I never expected to get the doll with the highchair and carriage. I was just hoping and praying for the doll. Both of my parents died in the past few years and it makes the memory all the more special.
Thank you so much. I have always loved painting and this is my first watercolor project. You made it so easy.
Best Christmas present was a puppy my dad brought home on Christmas Eve. He came in from work and his coat pocket started moving. It was the most wonderful little puppy.
My family celebrated Hanukkah. The best gift I received was a music box. I like this flower painting a lot. Thanks!
Happy Holidays, Shayda. I love using watercolor pencils for the very reasons you mentioned - and I am fascinated with the magic as the pencil turns to paint!
My favorite Christmas gift was a small black leather clutch purse that I received when I was in fifth grade. I can still smell the soft leather. I felt very grownup!
Hello Shayda I love your videos so helpful thank you , I am 74 years , have wanted to do art painting since I was a little girl was quite good at school left school at 15 , wanted to study art Mother said not enough money in it I did not need a career, I would get married start a family would never use it , so now I am biting the bullet & doing it . Since school dabbled of bit of oils now I am by myself hubby I am now doing it .
Thank you so much for a great beginning tutorial to watercolor pencils. It helped me get over my 'fear of watercolors'.
What a fantastic video to show us how to start off with watercolour pencils. Thank you very much for showing us how.
Thank you for showing us how to make these flowers, going to try it out. Best present I got when I was young was my first lockable diary to write, draw and doodle in. Never thought I could paint until I reached 45 when I got a box of oils for Christmas but have only disasters with water colours up until now, Hugs Joy, Spain
My favorite gift was a Spirograph set. It made creating and drawing so easy and fun.
