Thanks everyone you make a gal feel real good. They are all freehand, the first one all I did was paint a thick diagonal line in black then framed it with the thin gold lines. I then painted the leaves, then the flowers and then put in some flower buds, tiny strokes, and dots here and there. When I painting the flowers I double loaded my brush to give the petals and the buds more detail. The brushes I used where a filbert, small round and a liner brush. I found that I would get lines that were too thick so I cut my liner brush till I had about 5 or 6 hairs left in it and now it works just great to get the really small details.
