Painting petals teaches you patience you didn't know you had, especially when you're on your third attempt at getting that rose just right. These botanical designs offer a surprising variety of greens (who knew leaves came in seventeen different shades?) and the kind of detailed work that makes an hour disappear without warning.
Wildflowers are wonderfully forgiving - nature's already a little messy, so your wobbly stems fit right in. Fruits and vegetables bring unexpected satisfaction, though painting a realistic tomato is trickier than it sounds.
