Annie Seuffert on Instagram: "For those who wanted to know how I made the tree leaves in the last reel. Here you go… shhhh 😉 and yes, I’m only using water (made sure you could see it) and Dr. Ph Martin Bombay black India ink. ✨The art supplies I use are linked in my bio ✨ #inkartist #dailyart #flowart"

I painted Figs, Pink Grapefruit and Kiwi's using watecolour. I then added details with a dip pen and black ink. These paintings were then digitally composed with Adobe Photoshop.
