I like to get close to the petals when adding leaves so that some of the petal colors can flow into the green. You certainly *don't* have to use green as a stem color! Drop in the green to where the stems are located and add leaves where you please. In this piece, I used a mix of Daniel Smith’s Undersea Green and Winsor & Newton’s Sap Green. Rinse your brush and load it with the color you’ve chosen for the stems and leaves. The point here is to let watercolor do its thing and mix the way it wants! Once your colors are all placed, you can refine and spread the colors a little bit to achieve the desired look. Lastly, add in your darkest color option. Drop in the second color and watch as the colors merge and bleed into one another - that’s the wonderful thing about watercolor. I used my Daniel Smith Lilac for this part.

Try to have variation in the size of your droplets, dipping back into your water when needed. However, we do want to try to make some resemblance to a bouquet. I am not too methodical about the placement of the drops as we are aiming for a more abstract and organic feel. Don't wipe the excess water from the brush! Take your brush over your paper and lightly shake the brush until water droplets fall from the tip. To make the water drops you will want your paint brush to be fully loaded with water. Step 2: Paint water drop florals and stems Using your paint brush, start adding a bit of water until you get to a consistency that resembles soy sauce -) Remember to clean your brush in the water before prepping each paint. If using paint straight from the tube, squeeze a little out your palette. You may use paint straight from the tube or have a palette. We will be using a wet-on-wet watercolor painting technique.
