Let's make these flowers real. Just as we had a whole bunch of different greens for
the flowers, we can look at those flowers and go 'oh they're red or they're pink'. But,
really, they're red edges and lighter centers fading from red through pinks and even in
some cases into greens. So, let's just look at what we've got and establish those reds.
Along the outside is the darkest red, so let's paint those dark reds and have them start
to fade toward the inside. Just as we did with almost everything else today, as we refine
the edges they start to take on the illusion of reality. Then, as we add highlights and
shadows they become more real.
