Recreate Kandinsky's Iconic Circles with Relaxation, Art & Inspiration
If you’re looking for a creative escape that blends relaxation and art, then this is the perfect project for you. In my latest YouTube video, I combine a peaceful guided meditation, a fun and easy art project, and a touch of inspiration from an oracle card reading to help you unwind and let your creativity flow.
A Request from the Art & Soul Insider Community
This video came to life thanks to a special request from Cynthia, one of our amazing viewers from the Art & Soul Insider community. She reached out after seeing my previous Guided Meditation video where I first recreated Wassily Kandinsky’s Squares and Concentric Circles and wanted a closer look at how I made it. Of course, I was happy to oblige!
In this tutorial, I break down the process step-by-step so you can easily follow along, whether you’re using watercolor, tempera, acrylics, or even pencil crayons. It’s a joyful, colorful project that anyone can enjoy.
Featured Supply: Art Philosophy's Watercolor Confections
For those who love exploring new art supplies, I introduced Art Philosophy's Watercolor Confections in this video. These beautiful watercolor sets come in various themes like Tropicals, Woodlands, and Pastel Dreams, and they can be used either diluted or at full strength for vibrant, stunning results. Don’t worry if you don’t have them—any set of watercolors (or paints) will work just fine!
If you’re interested in checking out these palettes, they’re available on Art Philosophy's website and on Amazon.
Start with Mindfulness: A Soothing Guided Meditation
Before we jump into the art, we’ll set the mood with a short Guided Meditation. This calming practice focuses on the breath, light, and body, helping you center yourself and relax before we dive into the creative process. I believe that starting our projects from a place of peace and clarity makes the art experience even more fulfilling.
Step-by-Step Art Project: Inspired by Kandinsky's Circles
Now, onto the main event—the art project! Wassily Kandinsky's Squares and Concentric Circles is a playful, abstract piece that’s perfect for both beginners and experienced artists alike. In the video, I’ll guide you through each step of creating your own version of this iconic work.
We’ll explore how to create beautiful, layered circles with watercolor paints (or your chosen medium) and how to experiment with colors to make each square pop. This project is about having fun and letting go of stress—no perfection required!
End with Inspiration: An Oracle Card Reading
Once our artwork is complete, it’s time for a little inspiration. To wrap up the video, I pull a card from The Messenger Cards, by Sandra Kunz, to leave you with a thought-provoking message to reflect on as you go about your day. It’s the perfect way to end our time together—full of creative energy and positive vibes.
Why Timestamps Make It Easy
I know that life can be busy, and sometimes you might want to skip right to a specific part of the video. That’s why I always include timestamps in the video description! Whether you want to focus on the meditation, the art project, or the oracle card reading, you can easily jump to the section you’re most interested in.
