Create Your Favorite Plant
Gather your inspo, supplies, and pick your color palette. Print some pics of your favorite type of plants to have handy to reference. Cut basic leaf shapes from watercolor paper. Dip each leaf in water and form. Allow to dry and begin painting! Have fun exploring color mixing and creating textures on your leaves. Add colors onto leaves mixing them on the surface. Get creative in your color placement- you are creating a whole new plant species! Allow basecoat colors to dry and then paint on details with a liner brush. Allow to dry completely, and then hot glue some floral wire to stick into a foam ball. Find the perfect container or pot to house your plant and finish with some rocks and moss.
Don't forget - just have fun! There is no right or wrong, when you are making something that makes you happy.
