If you enjoyed my Loose Watercolour Florals Class, here's another one with Roses! In this lesson, learn to go with the flow and paint loosely in therapeutic watercolour.

Roses seem to be everyone's favourite flower to paint, besides peonies, ofcourse , and in this lesson we are going to learn to paint roses (plus more) simply in watercolour. Using basic watercolour techniques and just 4 colours we will explore how to get loose results while painting 2 florals compositions.

Colour Palette: Using just 4 colours (from my Go with the Flow watercolour membershiop) we are going to explore mixing and blending to get beautiful results in our florals. We are using, Quinacridone Magenta, Madder Rose Hue, Cadmium Medium Yellow, and Indigo.

Starting with Practice: We start off with a basic warm up going over all the elements we will be using in our compositions. We will be practicing how to paint the following.

1. Basic Flowers

2. Leaves on Stems

3. Roses

4. Tendrils with the Princeton Petals brush

5. Bud or Berry like elements

Feel free to practice as much as you want before attempting the compositions. If you are brand new to watercolour and looking for a basic walkthrough on how to mix colours and such, please watch this video on my YouTube channel.

Painting Compositions

Once ready, paint along with me to create two romantic loose compositions that will give you more practice with painting, but also give you insight on all things composition. The best thing about this section is the metallic embellishments. Subtle, yet pretty and completely optional ofcourse.

BONUS: Template Download

If you want to take this project to the next level, download the Heart Envelope Template and make your own watercolour envelopes. This template is an exclusive from my Go with the Flow watercolour membership that I am sharing on here.

I hope you paint many beautiful roses and hand out envelopes to loved ones.

DON'T FORGET: After you have painted your composition of roses, I would love to see your work. For your class project, please post the masterpiece you are most proud of in the gallery section here on Skillshare.
