- Orange acrylic paint
- Lime green acrylic paint
- Cyanine blue acrylic paint
- Pointed round paintbrush
- Round paintbrush
- Round big paintbrush

Directions:
Step 1
Squeeze medium-sized brown paint dots on your canvas, then add small dots around the medium-sized ones, and squeeze 3 black dots near the center brown dot. Dab the large round paintbrush on them, then gently twirl the brush to mix the paint lightly, and dab it again to add texture, do the same for the rest of the dot unit.

Step 3
Next, squeeze small dots of yellow paint all around the circle paint, then add orange dots in between the yellow ones, and then start dragging them in an outward motion using a pointed round brush to make the petals. Squeeze a little bit of lime green and cyanine blue onto a palette or plate, then lightly mix them together, and paint the stem of each flower.
Step 3
Use the round paintbrush to paint on the leaves, then add some details to the leaves as shown in the video, and define the center of the flower by adding small black dots of paint. Let the paint dry completely and you’re done!
