1. Load the 1" flat brush with Fresh Foilage. Using the flat side of the brush, paint wide vertival stripes about 3" long ending at the ridge.

3. Load the 3/4" flat brush with Wicker White. Using the chisel edge of the brush, pull a thin white horizontal line above the top verticalFFresh Foliage stripe, then paint another thing white line below the bottom edge of the vertical Fresh Foliage stripes.

4. Using the same brush and color and the chisel edge, paint a thin vertical stripe to the right side of each vertical Fresh Foliage stripe.

5. Using the same brush and color, add a touch of Magenta to the chisel edge of the brush and blend until you see a warm pink color. Using the chisel edge of the brush, paint a thin vertical stripe to the left of the vertical Fresh Foliage stripes.

6. Add more Magenta to the same brush. Using the flat side of the brush, paint a wide horizontal stripe below the bottom white stripe.

Pink Daisies
1. Double load the #16 flat brush with Magenta and Wicker White. Using the corner of the brush; place a dot where the center of the daisy will be. Using the chisel edge and leading with magenta, pull the strokes toward the center dot. Imagine the face of a clock and pull a petal at 12 o'clock, one at 6 o'clock, one at 3 o'clock, and one at 9 o'clock. Fill in between these with additional petals. The color that leads the stroke will be the accent color; the color that follows will be the dominant color (Nte: For wider petals use more pressure to make the stroke. For thinner petals stay mainly on the chisel edge.)

2. Double load the 1/2" scruffy brush with Yellow Ochre and School Bus Yellow, and add a touch of Wicker White to the School Bus Yellow side. Using an up and down motion, pounce the centers for the pink daisies.

Yellow Daisies & White Daisies:
1. Double load the #12 flat b rush with School Bus Yellow and Wicker White and add a touch of Lemon Custard to the School Bus Yellow side. Using the chisel edge and leading with Wicker White paint the yellow daisies by the same procedure used for the pink daisies

2. Load the #12 flat brush with Wicker White and paint the white daisies by the same procedure that was used for the daisies.

Leaves:
1. Double load the 3/4" flat brush with Kelly Green and Fresh Foliage. Using the flat side of the brush, paint the one stroke leaves throughout the design.

2. Pull a stem into each leaf as soon as it is painted, using the chisel edge of brush and leading with Fresh Foliage.

Dasiy Centers & Dimensional Details:
1. Using the tip of the bottle of Wicker White Dimensional, outline the pink daisy petals. Place dots around the centers.

2. Attach the small Tip-Pen to the bottle of School Bus Yellow. Make several dots in the centers of the yellow daisies, then place one large dot in the centers of some of the white daisies.

3. Dip the handle end of the #12 flat brush into Lemon Custard and place a dot in the center of the other white daisies.

Lettering:
