Petal brushes have been designed for making petal shapes. There are two kinds:
One is the Flora brushes which have a flat ferrule and bristles tapered to a fine point like a leaf. Designed particularly for painting petals but fantastic for many other things.
The other type of brush known as a petal brush is a round brush that is fatter at the base, relative to the length of the bristles, but still tapers to a nice sharp point. This gives us fuller, rounder teardrops for our petals – and all the other times we paint teardrops.

Base Paint Surface
Using Plaid Folk Art Midnight Garden and Wicker white paint on a background using the method in this post: Painting a Neutral background
For this lesson, I used a piece of cedar fence board that had been sanded well. You can use a gallery-wrapped canvas, piece of wood, or a Mix Media pad.
Let background dry.
Paint Black Eye Susan centers
Use Burnt Umber and a #10 flat or #8 filbert brush to fill in flower centers. (or use brush of choice)
Make some centers cone-shaped and others oval to create the illusion of flowers facing different directions.
Undercoat Flower Petals
For this step, you can use the filbert or the flat brush. In the video below (end of post) I show you how each makes a slightly different shaped petal.
Use Yellow Ocher for this step.
To paint the petal you press the paint brush at the start of the petal and pull towards the center. Decrease the pressure on the brush and slightly twist to the side as you approach the flower center.
This will create a narrower end on the petal.
Paint all the flower petals. The lower left flower has truncated petals, meaning they are horizontal strokes under the center to create the look of the flower facing away from us a bit.
