- Transfer the flower pattern randomly over the top half of the canvas. Paint the white flowers in Titan Buff. Mix Magenta and White to paint the pink flowers. Use Sap Green and mixes of Sap Green and Titan Buff for the leaves. Use a mix of Cobalt Turqoise, Grey, and White for the blue flowers.
- Mix Magenta, Cobalt Turquoise, Grey, and White and paint the center of the flowers in the mixture. Mix Magenta and White to paint the line details on the pink flower. Mix lighter and darker shades of green to add the details of the leaves.
- Mix Grey with Matte Medium. Brush this over the horizon line to create a shadow.
