I prefer to draw outline with pencil the start with painting over it. So I chose a sample picture found in internet and drew with pencil.

Painting, Start With Outer Environment

For painting, it is better to start with outer environment apart from the main object (here Lotus). So I wanted to paint the leaves floating around in water and the water in deep grey(not fully black) and use light grey for reflections over the water.

And for rose, the outer brown environment.

Painting, Floating Leaves

For leaves floating in water (around the lotus), I used SAP green as the main colour. And for the veins over the leaf, I use greenery green.

Painting, Leaf Veins

For pond water, I am using dark grey that is I mixed more black + little white and used the mix to the water layers.

Here the main subject is the lotus for which I need pale pink/baby pink colour. So I mixed pink with white to attain the pale colour.

And for red rose, Crimson red for the full body and maroon for edges and smeared it at places.

To add more attraction to the lotus petals, I am using a mix of Salmon pink + White and add fine layers to the corner of the petals as well veins to the petals.

And for the red rose, a maroon layer across the petals and leaves.
