Creating my own 2026 calendar using Acrylic Markers 💜 February - Dok Rak / Flower of Love

Описание: This year I’m creating my own calendar, taking inspiration from the beautiful flowers that I see in my day to day life and turning them into art that I can enjoy everyday.

For February, I chose Thailand’s birth month flower - Dok Rak, or Crown Flower / Calotropis gigantea. And painted this using acrylic markers.

💜💜 The Thai name ดอกรัก 'Dok Rak' Dok meaning ‘flower’ and Rak meaning ‘love’ translates as the ‘love flower’…which is very fitting for the month of February 🥰

As a beginner when it comes to art myself, I would love for you to use this video as inspiration to create your own calendar, or….when I think about it, any piece of art - GET CREATIVE and make something for yourself that you can enjoy everyday too!

Thank you for joining me, please enjoy the relaxed pace of this video and I will see you in the next one for. Steph x
