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?

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!)
