In the video, a person is seen holding a purple marker and dipping it into a red mug filled with water. The person then shakes the mug to remove excess water from the marker. The mug is placed on a woven surface, and the person's hand is visible as they perform the action. The marker appears to be a permanent marker, and the water in the mug is clear. The person's movements are deliberate and careful, ensuring that the marker is thoroughly rinsed.
