Step-By-Step


1. With a paintbrush, paint the stems of your flowers. Paint as many as you like, creating thin vertical lines on your paper. Create visual interest by varying the length and angle of the lines. Let dry.

2. Dip your finger into the paint gently and carefully place your painted finger on the stems.

3. Use two or more colors to create depth and have the petals pop.
