Hiya

So glad you like the blog. I would use a neutral grey for the hairs where you can see them against the white of the page (or even pencil). Hairs on the leaves, yes, white gouache and a tiny brush. Use it quite thick. 1.5x sounds like it’d be glorious!

Thanks for the question

Thank you Lizzie for sharing the process of the package design, I enjoyed reading it. I like borage too, they look very otherworldly and the blue and pink flowers are just gorgeous! I had a go at painting a late bloomer borage recently, the hair is hard to master. Would you use gouache for the hair? Or the same colour of the plant part? I used the latter to give the idea of the hairy-ness. Will try again next summer when I see them at the allotment and probably try to paint it at 1.5x.
