In the video, a person is seen painting a canvas with a brush. The canvas is held up by a wooden easel. The person is using a blue-handled brush to apply paint to the canvas. The brush is dipped in paint and then applied to the canvas in a sweeping motion. The person's hand is visible as they hold the brush and apply the paint. The canvas is already partially painted with a gradient of colors, including yellow, red, and purple. The person's movements are deliberate and precise as they add more color to the canvas.
