        Painted on Bockinford cold pressed paper, weight 300gms with White nights watercolours. Wet into wet technique, with no reference photo.
        I love painting flowers and roses are my absolute favorite to paint using wet into wet technique.

        C&C welcome.

        Cheers Rosie.

            These are beautiful, Rosie. I would be interested in seeing a WIP of your procedure.

                Beautiful. I love how you shape the petals by lifting color. A good reminder of this effective technique.

                        Thankyou all for your encouragement.
                        Bill and Thomas. If i can find anywhere to put a work in progress I will post one. I start off with a wet into wet blob and work the petals from there.

                        Kate. I use a pointed dagger brush for the leaves and then an angled shader to lift off the lighter bits. Some come out ok but some don’t. I keep working on the technique.

                        Cheers Rosie.

                                Hi ScarlettRose, these are beautiful, you must really know your roses to be able to paint such delicate flowers without any reference material. Excellent control and using my personal favourite Bockingford paper as well. Paul :-)

                                    Paul, Thankyou for your kind words of encouragement. You have me right, I adore roses.
                                    These last few weeks I have started to paint almost every evening and I can now I see improvement showing in my paintings.

                                    Cheers Rosie.
