Hesperantha Baurii

Paper cockles very badly

Mark out the petals whilst background dries

Wash dry, working on background flowers and buds

Flowers cut out and glued to make shape then stuck on background

Had to paint both sides

Spent about an hour with the framer designing the frame so it wasn’t too heavy

All ready to go
