Favorite Easy Art Youtube Channels

I dip my toe into drawing or painting maybe once a year. During Christmas, I paint people cards, and that seems to be the only time I paint during the year now! I would like to get in the habit of making art more frequently. But I also don’t want to be intimidated by beautiful yet ambitious art projects. Therefore, I’ve been searching for some easy art doodles or paintings I can do in less than 30 minutes - 1 hr. Here are some of my favorite Youtube Channels for making easy art:

Shayda Campbell

She’s my favorite bullet journaler, but her bujo designs and setups are way too intimidating for me! Instead, I like following her easy doodle tutorials. Florals and foliage are the best ones.

Nianiani

Her watercolor tutorials are nice and short (most are ~20 min long). Each project may take about 1+ hrs to complete in real time though. The subject matter of her paintings are just my vibe (there’s a lot of plants)! All of the pieces are very vibrant and colorful; just what I like.

Let’s Make Art

This was the channel that started it all for me! I got into a watercolor frenzy at the end of 2019. I wanted to paint EVERYTHING on the channel because Sarah makes it look so easy! But because I did so much so fast, I also got sick of it. I did not touch watercolor until the following year with my Christmas cards! But whenever I want to make a big piece (that’s nice enough to frame), I turn to this channel to find a project.

AmandaRachLee

She’s another bullet journaler, but I like some of the doodles she does. Not as many doodle tutorials on her channel, but it’s easy to get doodle inspiration from looking through her bullet journals.

Art Supplies

Since I’m a novice and only practice art as a hobby, I own starter art supplies. But don’t let that fool you! These beginner kits may be cheap, but the quality is still there! These are the watercolors and pens I use for my doodles and paintings:
