In this easy watercolour rose tutorial, I will show you how to paint a rosebud with easy to follow wet in wet and wet in dry watercolour layering techniques.
I have a free trace down line drawing as well as a reference photo which you will be able to find in the FaceBook Group - details below - so that you can join in. We will cover paint application techniques including colour glazing and I will show you how to paint in easy to follow steps - and don't worry if you are new to painting, my 'learn to paint - as you paint' approach will kick start your watercolour journey so that you can create paintings that you can be proud of, proving that botanical art need not be difficult.

Paper - Saunderswaterford Cold Pressed 300 gsm
Paints: Permanent Red, Yellow Orange, Olive Brown and Yellow Green (all Mungyo)
