Watercolor Garden Rose is more for the intermediate painter, I think, someone used to painting watercolor or someone used to painting roses. However, I don't think that should stop anyone from trying anything they want to try.
There are 21 photos and 24 pages in this Garden Rose Watercolor Lesson. As much as possible, I tried to think about people who already had watercolor paints on hand so I left the lesson as fluid as possible so that they can make their own choices of paint and brushes. I just pointed out what I used. There is no hard and fast rule that says you have to use the watercolor paints I did; feel free to experiment and mix your own if you like. That's even more fun with watercolor painting!
In any case, watercolor painting lessons like this are really about following something just to get an idea of how to paint something and then going your own path anyway. With that in mind, I made this online garden rose watercolor painting lessons hopefully something that would be fun to work with.
Regardless, for anyone who should download it, please let me know if you get stuck on a painting problem.
And have fun :)

| Figure 7 and close-up I give explanations of how I painted the outer petals of the cabbage rose and the lower petal in the inset. In Figure 8, I explain light washes on the rose leaves as a base to begin painting from and and in Figure 9, I point out extra shadows caused by one leaf overshadowing another. |
