First task is to pick what I am going to paint. I have popped a bunch of ideas into an app called Randomizer, and it picked 'Flower'!

I used French Ultramarine and Cadmium Red Medium, and two yellows: Lemon yellow and Cadmium Yellow Light. No white. I experimented with using Cobra painting paste with the green foliage, and it makes the paint quite translucent. It was relatively easy to paint over it with thicker paint later though.
