Porcelain flowers

Here are some wonderful master craftsman that use porcelain to create soft delicate, realistic flowers in a medium that can often look bulky or tacky.

(Link attached below) Step 1 Lightly sketch out the flower (HB pencil) Step 2 Work your shades of green from lightest to darkest using a fine brush ( viridian green, dark green, hint of blue) Step 3 Work up the flowers from light pinks, to deeper crimsons.
