1. Outline the flower with thinned Cadmium Yellow and the 1/2" brush. Paint the background with Liquid Opal and the 1” brush, allowing the flower to remain dry and unpainted. Then, use the 1” brush to add various mixtures of Sap Green, Ultramarine Blue and Turquoise to the background.

2. Use the 1/2" bush and a thin mixture of Paint Medium, Cadmium Yellow and Flower Pink to loosely underpaint the flower. Then, position four back petals with Alizarin Crimson.
