"Now we're going to do a beautiful flower, Hawaiian flower. So, what I like to start with is my favorite medium brush with a good tip and I'm going to start with some white. So, I'll just show you on my forearm here. You can do it really wherever, but what I like to do is this, slowly start painting some leaves. And then just work your way around the center of the flower and bit by bit you're going to get this really cool looking organic flower, not that flowers aren't organic. Now feel free to mix it up however you want. I like to draw all sorts of different flowers and this is one of my favorites to draw, kind of because it looks like a starfish and I, just because I love it. And just touch all the tips, make sure they come together. And that, is your base of the flower."
