You can start with a quick sketch, or dive right in to painting! Use a wet brush to paint clean water in oval shapes on to your watercolor paper. Wait until the water has soaked in a little and then dab on green paint and watch it blend over the paper.
Once your base layer is dry, add some darker green areas on top, making sure to define the different ovals, so they stand out on top of each other.
When your second layer is dry, use a thin brush to paint lines and spikes on your cactus, don't make them too uniform, random is key!
When the dark green details are dry, you can add some cute little flowers on the top, with red and yellows.
