DAISY: #4 round brush
1. Paint the center with Burnt Umber.
2. Wash brush and double load all across the brush with Indian Yellow + Titanium White. Paint the petals directly across from each other first.
3. Fill in between each of those petals with three more strokes or however many will fit. There are no set number of petals.
4. When all is dry, thin a tiny bit of Alizarin Crimson with water on the tip of the brush to create a wash. Pat the brush on a paper towel to remove excess water and feather this wash out from the center all the way around. Touch up the center with Burnt Umber if necessary.
5. Add Titanium White dots with a stylus around the center and dots of Indian Yellow in the center. DAISY

BLEEDING HEARTS: #2 brush
1. With Rose Red Mix, paint each little heart.
2. When dry, make a wash with Alizarin Crimson and water on the tip of the brush. Pat the brush on a paper towel and add a touch of the wash to one side of each heart.
3. Using Titanium White, outline each heart with the #6/0 liner brush. Add three small Titanium White strokes at the top, pulling them toward the heart. Add a Titanium White dot where the flower connects to the stem after the stems are completed.
TINY TULIPS: #2 brush
1. Double load Sapphire Mix and Titanium White pressing the brush firmly against the palette. Make two opposing strokes for each Tiny Tulip.
