with  clean  water,  leaving  a  white  edge  of  dry  paper  

Drop  dilute  Ultramarine  then  Rose  onto  wet  petals,  `l`ng  paper,  encouraging  pigment  to  pool    

Adding  colour  separately  allows  pigment  to  mix  unevenly,  resul`ng  in  varying  Violets

Try  prac`cing  a  few  leaves  and  a  single  flower  head  on  scrap  paper,  before  you  put  it  together.

Good  luck  and  stay  well.
