Paint your way into spring with this beautiful iris. Its delicate tones and rich color are a delight to the eye and are fun to paint against the teal blue background.

The design is painted on a digitally created graphic of fabric! Both the packet, the electronic format packet and the background surface are available in the shop.

It is quick to paint and no preparation is required. Just start painting. It can't get any easier than that!
