Georgia O'Keeffe- Inspired Digital Painting

This is the final product.  First, I used the paintbrush tool to digitally paint the flower.   Then I used the smudge tool for a watercolor kind of effect.  For the center, I used the paintbrush tool again to create dots (to look similar to the original)  like in the post impressionist pieces.  Finally, I used the burn tool to add some shading.  Then I deleted the background and saved it as a JPEG.
