Painting an Orchid

Painting is a fun hobby that can be mindful and relaxing.

The steps to painting an orchid are simple.

First step is sketching and placing down the flat colors.

The second step is building up the details of the sketch.

Then, you color in the finishing touches! This includes the texture to the petals.

Then, after adding a background, you’re done!

Try a similar painting and have fun recreating it.
