Hi Brenda, this was my first try and I want to redo the flower, but I have some questions.  I'm not happy with my color choices.  I was wondering what blues did you use?  Also, did you use pruple?  The colors I used for the flower were ultramarine and Cerulean Blue, and Alizarin Crimson.  I thought with the Ultramarine and Alizarin Crimson would produce a purplish color.  Mine did not.   So I was thinking I may have placed the Alizarin Crimson too late.  

On the techincal side I tried using a clean wet brush size 6 to made lines on the leaf.  It didn't turn out well.  I waited for the paint to dry slightly, but had to press down hard to form the line.  Any suggestions.  

When I redo this flower, I'll post it:)

My newest version with suggestions you provided.  I like this one better.  Thanks again Brenda!
