🖌️ What You'll Learn in This Episode

In Part 3 of my Kandinsky-Inspired Flowers series, we dive deeper into the floral design with:

🌈 Gouache Paint Exploration

This is my first time using Gouache, and I show you how it behaves differently than watercolor or acrylics. Spoiler: It's super fun and wonderfully vibrant!

✍️ Inking with Intention

I demonstrate how to outline with a variety of pens, including:

• Sakura Pigma Micron

• GuangNa Micron Graphic

• Pilot Hi-Tecpoint

Each pen offers different line thicknesses and possibilities for expressive detailing.

🧘‍♀️ Art as Meditation

When you're unsure what to do next? Take a break. I talk about the value of stepping back and giving your eyes and mind a rest. I also highlight how line work can become a meditative practice, helping you focus, breathe, and unwind.

🔮 An Oracle Card Reading

To close, I pull a card from the Prism Oracle Deck by Nicole Pivirotto — a radiant deck that links color and emotion beautifully.

🧡 Unlike Other Art Videos…

Many art tutorials are quick, snappy, and skip the “why.” But on my channel, I take the time to teach — the what, the how, and the why behind the art. You’ll not only see what I’m doing, but understand the technique and intention behind each choice.

You’ll leave this video with:

• New skills

• More confidence

• A calm heart

• And hopefully, a smile 😊
