About the video: Search for inspiration and moodboard
Overview
“We may have a clear idea of what we want to design, what we like, and where we want to go. My inspiration is called "Greenhouse." I searched for images of fern leaves on Pinterest and Google.

Keep in mind that since I'm using watercolor instead of Pantone, they won't be exactly the same; they may vary. ”
