To begin, follow the Flower Shop tutorial to stitch out several
flowers. You will need at least 3-4, but if you would like to have
multiple options for the composition, you will need a few more.

Begin to paint your canvas. You can start with a base color,
then build up from there, or you can paint it all in one go.
Experiment with different paint brushes and paint strokes.
Don’t be afraid to mess up! If you make a mistake, just let it dry
and paint over it.
Next, select your paints and size of your canvas. We chose
some toned down blues and a 6” square canvas.
Once you’ve finished your painting, let it dry completely before
moving onto the next step. This can take anywhere from 15
minutes to an hour. The time it takes to dry will vary depending on
how much paint you used and how thick the layers of paint are. If
you touch it and it feels tacky, let it sit for a little while longer.
