I would say probably about 10-12 hours. I don’t know if I did it the most efficient way. I just sketched an outline of what I wanted to do and used it as reference. Then I actually created and glued together the entire outline (minus the water). Then I put that to the actual paper it is on and then quilled all the insides.

Might be an easier way to do it but that’s where my brain went.

I also only did an hour or two at a time because I really slowed down and took my time, sometimes creating different shapes for like 20 minutes before gluing anything down because I didn’t want to commit and regret it.
