How to Paint a Rose in Watercolor

In this 'How to Paint a Rose' tutorial video we'll cover one of the most popular subjects for painting in watercolor.

You'll see how to get the delicate transitions from light to dark in the petals and the deeper colors of the leaves and stem.

I painted the rose in just three colors:- Ultramarine Blue, Alizarin Crimson and Cadmium Yellow.

Two round brushes were used - a No.1 and a No.8 and the picture was done on 140lb (300gsm) Bockingford watercolor paper.

Hi Robert, just want to say thank you so much for your emails, so much information and learning in them, and the videos are wonderful. Love your art and the art displayed on the links. Once again thanks, you have no idea of the enjoyment they bring.

I just wanted to say that I stumbled upon your acrylics tutorial on YouTube quite by accident and have fallen in love with it. I've been showing it to several friends who always ask me about art -- I'm an artist by profession -- and they all love it too. Thanks so very much. :) It is most appreciated.
