THREE STROKE PODS
1. Connect each of the flowers you have already painted with stems using a brush mix of Pine Green and Medium Green thinned with a little water so it will flow on your #6/0 liner. Start at the flower and pull the stem to the base. For the hanging flowers, connect the longest stem first. The other stems will go up and over the first stem.
2. Double load Pine Green and Medium Green on the #4 brush and paint the S-stroke leaves from tip to base.
3. Then paint the other branch of leaves using the #2 brush and the same double load.
4. When the leaves are dry, using the #6/0 liner, add an overstroke highlight on one side with Green Highlight Mix.
5. Outline a thin line of Carbon Black on the side opposite the highlight.
6. Highlight each stem with a very thin line of Green Highlight Mix using the #6/0 liner.
7. On the opposite side of each stem, paint a very thin line of Carbon Black.
