Fun idea, and I love the incomplete flower. Would be even better I think with a yellow that really matches the flower -- or if shown doing detail work on the (stamens?) with a finer brush.

Lovely work with the detail on the flower. I think my only nit might be that the paint on the brush appears too "thick" to be used to paint the flower. Very nicely conceived and executed.

I thought of trying something similar to this but didn't know about my PS skills...

Nice idea and well executed. Perhaps a smaller brush may have been a little more convincing but it's still a good shot. Good luck

Good idea. Would have made the saturated area to look more like brush strokes instead of the partial desat you used.
