TABLE OF CONTENTS

YOU WILL NEED TO GATHER TOGETHER SOME SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT IN ORDER TO BEGIN.

STEP I
PAINT YOUR GARDEN FLOWERS

BUY THE BEST QUALITY PAINTBRUSHES YOU ARE ABLE TO AFFORD. THE SIZES I USE THE MOST ARE:
ROUNDS, 00000,000,0,1,2,3,4.
I ALSO KEEP A LARGE ROUND #10 BRUSH FOR LOADING WITH COLOR FROM MY PALETTE AND MIXING. THIS SAVES MY SMALLER BRUSHES FROM THE WEAR AND TEAR OF MIXING. I ALSO HAVE A 3/8 ANGLE BRUSH FOR GETTING INTO TIGHT CORNERS. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO THOROUGHLY CLEAN THESE BRUSHES AFTER USE. I WET THEM AND RUB THEM GENTLY UPWARDS AGAINST A BAR OF IVORY SOAP AND RINSE. NEVER USE A BACK AND FORTH SCRUBBING MOTION WHEN CLEANING THE BRUSHES, ONE DIRECTION ONLY. DON'T LET YOUR PAINTBRUSHES SOAK IN WATER LONGER THAN A FEW MINUTES.

STEP IV
CHOOSING YOUR SUBJECT

I USE A COMPASS TO MEASURE ANGLES BETWEEN PETALS AND LEAVES. A KNEADED ERASER WORKS BEST FOR REMOVING PENCIL LINES WITHOUT DAMAGING THE PAPER. YOU WILL ALSO NEED A VARIETY OF PENCILS AND 140 OR 300 LB HOT PRESSED PAPER.
