I finished some of the stems and petals and details with a 0 round. That's the smallest brush I think I have. My favorite contemporary still life painter and the best painters of flowers in the world today is (Paul Raymond Seaton) over in England. He has a great website which has taught me so much. He gives instructions on painting flowers. I think he even suggests using artificial flowers to start. I have mixed artificial flowers and live flowers in this composition. Can you tell which is which?
I believe art is to be shared. I have gained so much from others sharing their art experiences and knowledge, I thought this blog would be a great way for me to give something back. Please be reminded that the photo colors may slightly vary due to a digital camera's results and depending on your monitor. I do retain the reproduction rights to this artwork.

that's a great flower art.
It's hard to remember when to switch brushes, particularly when I am "in the zone". I generally will have one brush for cool colors, another for warm (rather than one brush/color--I hate washing brushes!)
