There is more than one shade or colour on the brush @outlander .... an$ the purple petals are a series of one-brush strokes, just soft and muted because it’s wstercolour. The flamingo too is one trailing brush-stroke, but then it has been drawn into with ink to create more definition. These are different uses of the one-brush technique.
I have depicted water movement before by loading my brush with a couple of different colours, and then rolling over and over as I made a long stroke.
Experiment ....

I have painted with leaves before @outlander .... a bunch of loose leaves, like parsley .... flicking it against a canvas, loaded with a selection of lifferent greens.
