What you need
Steps
Cover your work area and squeeze small blobs of deep purple, green, orange and yellow onto your palette, leaving clear space for mixing.
Load the flat brush with deep purple and cover the whole canvas in a thin, even coat. Let it dry before you paint on top.
Mix your green, then pull stems upward from the lower half of the canvas with the flat brush, keeping each line thin and steady.
Add leaves with quick angled strokes, pressing the brush down and lifting at the tip so each leaf ends in a point.
Mix orange with yellow for warm petals. Keep the mix fairly thick so the brush holds its shape and leaves texture.
Load the round brush, press it onto the canvas to form one petal, then repeat in a ring around an empty centre point.
Build a second ring of petals around each flower, using more yellow near the middle and more orange at the outer tips.
Dot a small blob of yellow or orange in the centre of every flower to finish it.
Leave the canvas flat to dry for at least an hour before you hang it or stack anything on top.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep petal paint thick and only thin the background with a drop of water, or the textured look disappears.
Let the purple background dry fully first, otherwise wet green will smear into it.
Paint one flower at a time so its petals stay wet long enough to blend.
Rinse and blot the brush between colours to stop the greens muddying your orange and yellow.
Questions
Do I need to draw the flowers first?
No. Each petal is a single press of the round brush, so you can place them straight onto the canvas.
Which brush makes the best petals?
A round brush with a pointed tip. Press it down, then lift to release each petal shape.
Can I use a different background colour?
Yes. Any dark colour, such as navy or black, will make the warm orange and yellow petals stand out.
