Inspiration:

Here is the Pinterest board I have created for this painting if you want to mix and match different elements or want to try a different composition.
I have added two videos of wisteria flowers, for you to better understand their shape and structure.
You will find the main reference photo we will be inspired from attached, for you to get a closer look.
