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.

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.
