On the next stem paint more blue flowers by double loading the #10 brush the same way but have the darker blue to the outside edge. Add a touch of Ink Spot to deepen the blue on some petals to add variety. Add different amounts of petals and try not to have each stem look the same.

To paint the blue flowers we will start from the top and work down the stem.
Double load your #10 flat brush with Cobalt Hue and Look at me Blue. Make a small upside-down U stroke to create a top petal.
You can flip the brush to create a different shade of petal. Note the difference between the petal on the right and then the one on the left. The left had the Look at Me Blue to the outside edge of the brush as the stroke was created.
When adding more petals down the stem make the petal strokes a bit ruffled on the outside edge by wiggling the brush as you stroke (the video linked at the end of this lesson will help you see it done)
At the base of the stem paint a full flower or two.

And why not try a painting craft kit to keep honing your skills?

What is acrylic paint?
Acrylic paints are an affordable, water-based paint that are versatile and easy to use. You could create a portrait or landscape using acrylic paints, try a trending technique like paint pouring or you could paint wood and other surfaces. What makes acrylic painting so popular is that it’s fast-drying. Unlike oil paints, which can take a few days to dry, acrylic paints dry quicker so if you’re sitting down to do an afternoon of painting, you can achieve a lot.
Many people wonder, is acrylic paint waterproof? Acrylic paints are water-based which means it’s easy to wash your brushes with soap and water. They’re also water-resistant so small drops of water on your work won’t damage it – but your artwork won’t be waterproof unless you apply a varnish or sealer on top of your painting when it’s dry.
There are different grades of acrylic paint for students and professionals

Acrylic painting for beginners: what you’ll need
The main materials you need to invest in to get started with acrylic painting are paints, brushes and your surface which is typically paper, board or a canvas.
Acrylic paints vary in price and quality. The cheapest paints are referred to as student-grade paints. The pigments of these colours are less strong and their consistency is best suited to paper.
This is the best paint for starting out, but they won’t give you same finish as professional paints. It’s worth having a set of both so you can see the difference for yourself. Popular brands that professional painters recommend are Windsor Newton and Daler Rowney.
