COLORS
I used titanium white, Prussian blue, phthalo green, primary yellow, gamboge (mix primary red and yellow to create a warm orange if you don't have this color), burnt sienna (or alternatively mix a warm brown from primary red and yellow to make orange, and then darkened with a little primary blue).
BRUSHES
For brushes I use a 1/2" angled shader, a 1/2" flat, size 8 filbert, size 4 round, size 6 round petal and size 2 liner. These are Kingart Original Gold Series brushes- I've been using these brushes exclusively for over 2 years now and I love them!

I really enjoyed the step by step instructions. I am going to replay this video when I have my paints and art supplies set up (we recently moved and I don't have my art desk and supplies set up yet) so that I can attempt to re-create this lovely painting. Definitely worth a subscribe for more tutorials like this, without a bunch of useless chitter chatter, but good step by step instruction. Thank you, looking forward to your next video.

[@sofiarubio9745]

Heyy Are You going to continue uploading videos? Is cause I like them so much ❤😅

[@floral_doodle]

Hi Ruth, may I ask whats the brand and size of the flat brush that you use for painting the background? I need to get a nice flat brush thats good for blending gouache background colors.

[@RuthWilshaw]

It’s a 1/2” angled shader from Kingart! I use their Gold Series brushes and they’re wonderful for painting with gouache!

[@lesleypickard9732]

What’s the differences between a petal brush and a cats tongue brush? I’ve never heard of the petal brush but when I googled it I got pics of a cats tongue brush

[@RuthWilshaw]

It’s just a round brush with a super fine pointed tip. The cats tongue brushes are more often like a pointed flat oval 💕
