White Rose Petals

5.25x8 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper sketched today and painted from a WetCanvas refeence photo, courtesy Valri Ary.  We had 2 hours to select an image then get an art done, any medium or style. This rose was probably in a wedding arrangement as it had baby's breath, etc., so I've included only a few of those tiny flowers in the abstract background.

White Roses

22x15 watercolor of some of my climbing roses planted in the front of the house.  This is painted wet in wet on 140 lb Saunders cold press paper. I snapped several photos when they were blooming at their peak then painted them. Not happy with the mid section it was reworked and more negative leaves, stems, and thorns added. My favorite part is the rosebud upper right. It was painted wet in wet and colors allowed to mix and mingle.  Daniel Smith paints used.

Climbing White Roses

22x15 watercolor on 140 lb cold press Saunders Waterford. These climbing white roses were by our front steps and I snapped several photos when they were blooming at their peak then painted them. Not happy with the mid section it was reworked and more negative leaves, stems, and thorns added. My favorite part is the rosebud upper right. It was painted wet in wet and colors allowed to mix and mingle.  Daniel Smith paints used.
