STEP-BY-STEP demonstration
Start by placing your canvas squares next to each other
and putting that first layer of color covering the whole
surface. Continue with the rest. I picked 8 canvases to
work on so the paintings create a grouping.
and putting that first layer of color covering the whole
surface. Continue with the rest. I picked 8 canvases to

Mix a big batch of your starting color so you do
not run out half way through.
I chose red as a very vibrant under painting color
to work as a complement to the mostly blue/ green
of the cacti .
You do not have to worry if the paint is not uniform.
It should cover the surface but not obliterate it.

Once your surface is dry, use either a watercolor pencil
or a HB to draw your image.
I prefer watercolor pencils since the lines
disappear once you wet them o rat least
soften up.

I used I blue pencil to make sure I see the drawing.
I picked a light blue for the background. With a
dark mixture, I pulled out the darkest part of
the flowers . This is a small surface so make sure
you do not have too much detail.
I am working with the same palette for all
the pieces so doing them simultaneously
allows you to proceed a faster rate.
At this stage, pay attention to the big shapes.
This piece has a lot of pink in it .
I used alizarin crimson +red light cad + white.
Still working on the background.
Next, I mix a vibrant mixture of yellow+
Thalo blue ( a smidgen) + white.
Once I start applying more paint , I do not
want to lose my red layer of color , so I let
it show through.
