YouTube Description (Part 2 - Springtime Palette) In this video, I’m continuing the process of building my springtime palette, focusing on the middle and final layers. Using soft pinks, fresh greens, and calming blues, I add depth and texture to create a harmonious blend of color. Watch as I bring these layers together, embracing the energy of spring in every stroke. --- My name is Kym Balthazar, and I’m an oil & cold wax abstract artist & educator living in NEPA (Northeastern PA).
