I pulled out my dagger brush from Simply Simmons to create most of the leaves you see behind the central flower. (video tutorial below) I used water soluble oil pastels for the flowery parts.

I love creating seamless patterns for paper and fabric! ... View the Post
Loose Watercolor Florals with Jane Davenport Palette & Video
I like to rotate my watercolor palettes. This (pictured later in the post) is one of Jane Davenport's palettes that she released a few years ago. It has rich, ocean-like colors and tones.

HIMI Gouache Blue Floral Painting & VIDEO TUTORIAL
You have seen several HIMI gouache posts in recent months because the jelly cup style is so easy to use! I made some card backgrounds (5 x 7 inch or 4.25 x 5.5 inch). Strathmore's toned tan paper takes the gouache well, as you don't have to add a lot of water to use it. I have also created seamless patterns for digital paper and fabric! VIDEO BELOW! ...
