The tiny little flowers of the Valerian were quite fiddly to paint, but I do enjoy painting small details. To paint the flower heads I used washes of permanent rose, carmine, permanent magenta and alizarin crimson.
The leaves are just as interesting as the flowers, being stalk-less and joined around the stem. I used washes of sap green, oxide of chromium, midnight green and neutral tint for the strong shadows.
