Chrysanthemum 1, flower and bud

I started from the centre of the flower, and continued to add petals in a radiating direction.

I do not try to make each petal the same. They are different in direction, shape, size and wet/dryness.

At the beginning my brush is wetter (however, the fine detail as flower petal, brush is never dripping wet.) As I drew more and more petal, the brush became drier and drier. That made a natural transition of the colour tone.
