Watercolor Roses

Painting these watercolor roses is easier than you might think!
1 - Start with skinny “C” strokes circling each other for the center in thick paint - I’m using Indian Red.
2 - Then pick up a watery mixture of a lighter color (I’m using Jaune Brilliant #1) and paint thicker “C” strokes around the center until you get your desired rose shape.
3 - Drop in the darker color to the lighter color while it’s still wet.
4 - Next, take a dark color to add depth to the center of the rose - I chose Mineral Violet.
5 - Add a few green leaves and you’re finished! I like to cut these roses out and turn them into little gift tags.

😂 Thanks so much! I used Indian Red for the center of the rose, Jaune Brilliant #1 for the light petals, Mineral Violet for the dark center, and the greens were Sap Green and Perylene Green.
