I drew a grid on the canvas and then drew the picture. Started by painting a third of the top - first dark green background using - Thalo green + Cerulean blue + mars yellow + gold ocher + black 












Next, worked on other areas - 1) light leaves - cadmium yellow pale hue + cerulean blue + titanium white; 2) dark leaf - thalo green + cadmium yellow pale hue; 3) dried/drying leaves - mars yellow + gold ocher + light green from the paint bowl.












Painted the flower petals - titanium white and used some mars yellow & gold ocher for the middle. Painted all the dark background using the same scheme as in the first picture.












Painted the light leaves and the slightly darker leaves and all the white petals and the middle of the flowers.  Put some green/yellow lines using a fan brush on the third flower's petal.













Finished by painting the light yellow leaf and slightly drier leaf. Put a dab of green in the middle of the flowers and left to dry before trying to touch up the middle.
