Tulips: Doubleload the
3/4" flat with Black Cherry and Wicker White. Next,
add a touch of Sunflower on the Wicker White Side.
Starting with the middle petal and working
outward, paint the tulip.
To paint the brighter tulip, add a touch
of Medium Yellow to the Sunflower side.

the 3/4" flat with Fresh Foliage and Thicket.
Using the chisel edge of the brush, touch
base of flower with the Thicker side of the brush. Paint
the base of the stem by pulling short strokes from the
base of the flower.
Paint the leaves by starting on the chisel
and pushing on the bristles, as you slide upward. Next,
lift the pressure again to create a crease or a fold in
the leaf.

#12 flat with Dioxazine Purple and Wicker White. With
Wicker White to the outer edge, paint the wings.
