I wait till my flowers are dry to paint them, otherwise they are too soft.

For the purpose of this course I didn't use any alcool, everything was brushed on dry. When I used alcool in the past I did not steam the flowers but somebody else might have a different experience.

All of my directions for painting flowers calls for two ingredients:

The dry dust
The alcohol

Instructions:

Using dry paint brush, brush on the dry dust until the flower is the color/shade you prefer. Meanwhile, using a small cup, pour your choice of alcohol in it, and sip until empty. Repeat as necessary.
