Flashes of pink and pearls of rain sparkling in the morning light

Unbelievably, red paper is one of the keys to creating the intense color of these tropical flowers, lush leaves, and glistening raindrops.

In this complete step-by-step tutorial, you’ll learn how to use red background paper to intensify color as you create these stunning hibiscus. You’ll apply tones in order, feather edges, and blend and glaze to create these bright pink beauties with their unique yellow stamen.

Once the flowers are done, then you’ll turn to the leaves, again using the red paper to add interest and realism. You’ll learn how to use different greens to achieve depth and fullness, with just a touch of white for highlights.

Plus, you’ll also learn Mark’s formula for creating water drops on both flowers and leaves.
