"We are actually ready to paint a flower. And I'm going to start with a purple pansy. I will be adding a little bit of green around it, which will later become leaves, and then I'll block in another pansy and then the third. And then when we get those blocked in, I will start with adding a little background. So I'm going to start with the pansy. So I'm using what they actually call "pansy purple". Loading my brush. And if you remember, I said that you have to paint towards you, so when you add the paint keep brushing it towards you. I'm adding a little more medium to make my paint go a little bit smoother. Get it on a little darker. Remember I want to get it darker in the center, so as I pull it towards me, draws that paint down. And I'm doing the back petals and I'm getting ready to do these. Right now it just looks like a glob of paint but it will eventually get there. And because I have to keep painting towards me, I have to keep turning my blank. Okay, we actually have the pansy in. "
