Dog Rose PDF

Description

Learn to paint a rose in fine, detailed watercolour with a downloadable lesson

A Dog Rose is a thorny climber, which scrambles around in hedgerows. It has curved thorns, which enable it to ‘hook’ on to other plants in order to weave in and out of them. The soft pink flowers are an important source of nectar, and they are followed by red hips in the autumn. These are loved by birds and small mammals.

This is a tutorial that is suitable for all levels of ability, including beginners. It involves a limited number of techniques, and these are then replicated on each petal, giving a good opportunity to practise each one. Maybe combine it with the thorny stem as a botanical study, as each element has been taken from the same plant.

This is an instant PDF download, you could start painting this Dog Rose in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive an 19-page PDF document. Set out in the same way as the tutorials I write for magazines. However, you get lots more large photos of the different stages.

Downloadable lessons enable you to work at your own speed, you can dip in and out of the content, you can spend time studying the fine details and practise the various techniques as often as you like.

Have fun with this lesson, take your time and let me know how you get on. Try printing off the last few pages which have the larger versions of the step-by-step photos for additional help.
