šØāØ Welcome back, creatives! In today's video, weāre diving into something really specialāa relaxing mindfulness art project using the magical Kuretake Graphite Watercolors! šØ These unique watercolors come in six gorgeous shadesāred, blue, green, yellow, brown, and purpleāeach infused with a touch of graphite, giving them a deep, moody vibe. Donāt have the Kuretake set? No worries! You can totally use your favorite watercolor set, tempera, acrylics, or even pencil crayons for this project.
Before we get to the painting, Iām sharing a super insightful reading from Manifest Your Life magazineās article, "Mind Over Matter: Unlock the Secrets of Ancient Meditation for Manifestation." šæš§āāļø Itās a beautiful guide to building a powerful meditation practice to manifest your goals. š
For todayās art project, weāll be combining those earthy Graphite Watercolors with Kuretakeās stunning Starry Colors set (hello, golden shine!) to create a piece thatās full of balance, color, and texture. And yes, weāll be playing with shapes, lines, and all the good stuff! š
As always, weāll wrap up the session with a little inspirationātoday, Iām pulling a card from The Gaia Oracle to leave you with a thought to ponder as you head into your day. šøāØ
š”āØ Remember, my videos are timestamped, so if youāre pressed for time, you can jump right to the segment youāre most excited about: whether thatās the Featured Supply, the Art Project, Guided Meditation, or the Oracle Card Reading.
