Painting watercolour, acrylic and collage art butterflies. 

In this video, I paint some relaxing abstract watercolour butterflies and show you how I like to add mark -making over top once the first layers are dry. I also demonstrate a transferred royalty free butterfly image to my art journal, and show I paint it with acrylic paint markers.
I read a page from "How to Be More Tree", and do a little flip through of some pages in both, "The Botanist's Sticker Anthology " book, as well as, "Print & Pattern Nature" book , Bowie Style.
I show a card from my "Art Poetry" for Insights and Inspiration art deck,

I talk about my art inspiration in the moment and we just explore relaxing art techniques together.
I use "Beam " paintstones as my watercolour palette:
