Step 1.- Depending in perspective and or difficulty .- Draw a watercoloring pencil sketch of your subject. It does not need to be too detailed, but do include major lines and points.

Step 2.- Shade with the help of a brush, painting  over it with just wáter, following the color flow refference, as I want to add dew drops; with another thirsty brush I start to make lighter áreas accordingly
Note:- Create a chart of colors. With each of the colors of pencils that you will be using,  This will allow you to see how your colors will look, as some colors look completely different once water has been added

Step 3.- Layer some colors over each other and add water. Blending colors in this method can produce beautiful effects and add dimension to your picture
Save the White áreas as much as possible either lifting color or absorbing with  an absorbent paper

Step 4 Secret Tip.-  Tilt your painting so the gravity will help for next step, I did use permanent White (gouache) for this particular step;  with a round brush I take from a previous container the White mixed with a dab of same color blue and drop the color over each dew drop already indicated in my painting, letting dry throughly ( This will make the color of the drop look more real, once dry)

Step 5.- Final touch.- With the negative painting technic, apply darker colors, either with watercolor pencil or watercolor brush to reinforce the petals color and veins
Note.- Using more than one color to shade your picture will give it dimension.
Make sure that your brush strokes go with the contours of your subject. Start out with a little bit of water, and add more to produce a more washed out effect. The more water is added, the lighter the color will become and the less you will see your pencil lines. However, if too much water is used, the colors will run. Use a smaller brush for detailed areas.
