How to Paint a Watercolour Rose

[@MissHoneyKitchen]

Thanks for giving such elaborate and clear instructions! Some people are like: “just wiggle the brush like this and that” and all of a sudden they have a stunning flower and I have a blob 😅but with your instructions I can follow along and actually paint something that looks like what I want to paint! Thanks so much! I bought both your books and can’t wait to get started!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cathylunde7416]

I am just picking up my paint brushes again after 10 years. I have never really learned to paint flowers and I’m really enjoying your tutorials as I am left handed also. One would think it really doesn’t matter learning from someone that is right handed, but it does! Thank you! 😊

[@suesanders5017]

After literally years of watching and reading I can finally paint a loose watercolour rose. Not until I watched your 5 top tips, all of which I was doing wrongly. Thank you so much. I have also just ordered your book. Sue Sanders

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Ah sue I’m so pleased this has helped!

[@wendykelcey1246]

Love how you’ve done this Harriet… step by step! As this was filmed 3 years ago, could you do another one that’s current as well? Maybe a different colour? I’m definitely on a rose quest!!

[@lisap5615]

The way you paint roses in this loose but still fairly accurate style works so beautifully. I just purchased your lovely book from Amazon and am very excited to get started. I am new to watercolor, though I have had some experience painting with acrylics. I have started out by practicing the basic strokes first, but I am getting really excited to try out some flowers and leaves:) Thank you for sharing all you have learned.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you so much Lisa!

[@kathrynking6225]

I loved this tutorial! I think I am now almost over my fear of roses!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Great!

[@sandranix9615]

Love the loose style of W/C! I have the book, too. All makes a full picture. Thank you so much!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

You are so welcome!

[@Globalsoul2011]

I love your clear direct teaching style. I guess loose style is hard to follow and botanical painting is too time-consuming. Your style really is what I am looking for and helps to relax and still enjoy working toward a nice painting. Thank you so much for sharing online. Great work!!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks so much!

[@rosangelaneff6346]

I am so happy so see you and your paiting again. I will try a rose also and looking so beautifull ( and easy ).Thanks.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you so much 😀

[@kimotten9885]

Your tips for thickening the branches make such a difference in helping everything look more realistic and natural. As you noted, what an impact those little details make! The veining on the leaves is gorgeous - it always feels like over-veining ruins perfectly nice leaves, but they often need a little something for definition. This looks just right!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks so much Kim, it sounds like you and I are on the same wavelength when it comes to leaf painting!

[@kevinheller1145]

Unbelievable, ...Wow...the most comprehensive instruction yet...Thank You So Much!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Ah thank you Kevin!

[@gladysalvarez6741]

Beautiful and elegant rose, I love roses.😊🥰

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks!

[@sharonsands708]

OH MY GOSH, you are the first artist that actually paints the leaves of a rose. Yours have the tiny flicks on the edges, it makes the rose look more like a rose. I've seen so many people paint a peony and the leaves are like every other flower they paint. And actually the peony leaves are different. It drives me crazy, so thank you so much for being real. I'm so glad I found you. I have just ordered your lovely book. Should be here in 2 days, can't wait.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

So glad you’re enjoying the tutorials!

[@EktaShah82]

Your tutorials are all really helpful. I am unfortunately not able to take my paints to DC but when in Florida at the parents place I will be practicing this here. So while I'm still here for two days I will learn some more tomorrow

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Great, you can paint when you're back!

[@EktaShah82]

@@deWintonPaperCo I did make an attempt at this right before I left. Unfortunately KZbin doesn’t make it possible to show a pic here It came out relatively ok for a first try. But will have to practice more when I visit Florida next

[@vee35233]

A super demo - thank you very much! I just love how you form your petals and leaves - without effort! Love following your tutorials - you do a wonderful job! xxx

Thanks veronica!

Ah Marie, Roses are hard but they get better with practise which is exactly what you did. I still find it a bit of a challenge each time so keep going!

Thanks Maribel!

[@tensa7132]

I’m so excited to try this! I struggle with stems and leaves in particular and your style of starting with those first and then going back to them later seems so much more stress free. P.S. that last pop of colour on the rose honestly blew me away. It’s so gorgeously simple but needs an expert eye to get just right - I hope I can get to that level one day

[@deWintonPaperCo]

You can do it!

[@lemonade708]

Such a lovely tutorial, thanks Harriet! This is my next project to take on! I tried painting hydrangeas by following the step by step guide in your book and I had a really nice time doing it as well. x

[@Adelaidarivera123]

I have often wondered if you can really use both sides or the paper . Is the one that comes infront the one to use only? Thank you.

Hi Liliana, You can use both but brands will vary in how much the two sides differ, if at all. I use both sides. the best thing is to have a go and see!

@@deWintonPaperCo I shall do that. I am using Arches, but sometimes cannot get it. Have a good week. I live in Honduras and you?

[@ladennastanley6259]

Lovely, I guess I'm lost as to where the rose is placed? It looks like its hanging off the side of the vine but not attached. Is it me ?

[@deWintonPaperCo]

It’s a case of imagining the stem behind it

[@coastalcutie2000]

I have a question for you: I find myself working for whole sessions, just practicing making scribbles. Is it better to make random "marks," or make "things" like leaves? Sometimes my practice pages look like the work of a madman! Often I just like the feel of the paint sliding on the paper...

[@deWintonPaperCo]

I think it’s best to go with your gut instincts. If the paint is sliding off the paper maybe go for a rougher/cold pressed paper

[@coastalcutie2000]

@@deWintonPaperCo Thank you!

[@louiseconstant9097]

What i have learned on many tutoriels is not to leave puddles on the Strokes, i would be tempted to remove as much water as possible. If not, i get water blooms. There is a lot of water on the leaves. I tend to prefer the more even colors once dried.

[@louiseconstant9097]

I love the finished look of this tutorial. What i meant by my comment is that my finished Product would have lots of blooms! I love watching every thing you paint.
