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.
