1. I drew many stems and 3-leaf clovers lightly in pencil, filling up the paper as much as possible.
2. Using a small watercolor brush, I painted the outline of each clovers leaf and filled them in with green watercolor paint.
3. I then added more water to the paint and filled in the background with the lighter green, leaving a halo of white around each clover.
4. When the paint dried, I traced the stems and veins with my gold paint marker.

Kathy,
I would LOVE to include this tutorial as a guest post at Shining Dawn Books!
http://shiningdawnbooks.com
We have written a series of nature study units and use our blog posts to encourage homeschoolers (and others) to make nature study a part of their curriculum.
This would be a super post to teach our readers how to create a nature journal page as they observe clovers this spring.
We would include a picture/bio of you and link to your site as well. What do you think?
You can email me at NaturExplorers@gmail.com
Blessings,
Cindy West
