Start on the background painting carefully around the petals. Add the leaves painting them in different greens by adding yellows or pink to sap green. Paint reflections with sap green and pink mixture   Add in more water reflections adding darker shadows to the underside of leaves. Note: make sure your leaves are different sizes  

 I thought the finished painting needed more darks. If you want more texture you can 1.Use water soluble crayons with sand paper 2.use white gouache with a toothbrush
