In this unedited video, I do a demonstration of an abstract watercolour background, with the addition of some mark making using water-soluble and non-water-soluble crayons.
I pull a card from my Art Poetry 71 Artist card deck, as well as, an affirmation deck called "the Little Frog's Guide to Self-Care by Maybell Eequay.

For reference, I show one of my finished artworks that has been mounted to a wood panel and finished with a few coats of wax.
