Building Your First Tulip: Three Clean Hearts

Prepare the base exactly as shown in the earlier fundamentals. Start with a smooth surface before pouring any hearts.

Start at the back and push forward to form the first heart. Keep the movement steady and controlled.

After each heart, lift slightly and move the pitcher forward before pulling back to pour the next one.

Use the same lift-and-move pattern for the second and third hearts. Focus on consistent spacing between them.

After the final heart, lift about 2 cm and cut straight down the middle immediately. This shapes all three hearts cleanly.
