Paint Summer Zinnias in 20 Minutes / Celebrating the Things that Don’t Change (New Season)

I'm so excited to be back with you as we paint and talk through the theme of this new season: Celebrating Things That Don't Change. What flower is still blooming around you? In your garden or in the parks around where you live? No matter how hot it gets, the zinnia keeps blooming! We are celebrating the reliability and endurance of these happy, persistent flowers. I think there is a quiet lesson for us in their persistence under consistent heat and pressure. If you’ve painted with me before, you know I love bright and bold colors. But these zinnias have a bit more of a delicate and muted color and we’re going to play with those more delicate colors in today’s YT video.
