2. Paint the Stem

Once you're happy with your sketch, start painting the stem of the Yucca. Use a light wash of brown paint to create a base layer. Then, add darker shades of brown to create depth and texture.

3. Paint the Leaves

Next, paint the leaves of the Yucca. Use a variety of shades of green to create a natural look. Start with a light green base layer, then add darker shades of green to create shadows and highlights.

4. Paint the Flowers

The flowers of the White Sands Yucca are delicate and beautiful. To paint them, use a small brush and a light touch. Start with a base layer of yellow paint, then add white highlights and green shadows.

5. Add Details

Once you're finished painting the main elements of the Yucca, you can add details to bring your painting to life. Use a fine brush to paint small thorns on the leaves and veins on the flowers. You can also add a bit of white paint to the tips of the leaves to create a sparkling effect.

6. Finish the Painting

Once you're happy with your painting, let it dry completely. Then, you can frame it and hang it on the wall to enjoy.
