These are Cherry blossoms. This is done by water colors. The paints that I used was just Red and Brown. After drawing the picture you have to put some red water color in the middle of the flower and smudge it around with water and while you smudge it, you will observe that in the middle its a darker color and while you go to the tip of the petal, the shades become lighter and lighter and you don’t need to cover the whole petal with paint you can leave some areas plain. And at last you add brown for the stalks. And that’s it. I like this painting because it’s very simple and beautiful.
