Welcome to the JUNE Plant Parade Challenge.
This Month I’m Hosting the Challenge, and I thought since June is the month of the Roses, that we could try some roses. Sure hope you like my choice. You may use any medium of your choice. You have until the 25th of June, which is the reveal date.
As for an extra challenge you may want to try abstract roses or roses in a vase or a rose bush. It’s up to you to come up with whatever creation you like.

from my own bouquet

I should be able to do two challenges in one here because it will fit the Acrylic challenge this month :smug:
I already have a big painting of that first rose by Crias – done years ago!:)Cheers, Maureen

June 2, 2018 at 12:30 pm #633157Lil – did you ask me about my avatar rose somewhere?
It’s called Stacey’s rose because the reference was given by her – I think her username now is Butterfly Studios ….. it’s about 10×8″ and done in acrylic inks.
If I can find the file/thread I’ll link.:)Cheers, Maureen

June 4, 2018 at 11:50 am #633143Great choice! I’ll try a looser, more abstract version perhaps. It’ll be fun to push that creative muscles.
Thank you for the ref pics, they look great!

June 4, 2018 at 3:43 pm #633170Maureen, I just may try some acrylic inks to see what I can create.
Thanks Kay, glad you like my choices. I find roses challenging too.
Ladysue, will be waiting to see your roses too.LIL
June 5, 2018 at 4:33 pm #633159Lil – if you do, look for a starter set of Magic Color inks – they’re my favourites!
You should be able to get them in the States.Cheers, Maureen
