Painting a Red Rose in Watercolor: Beginner Friendly

1. Class Introduction: Hello everyone. I am sense CB and it is my first Skillshare class. In this class we will learn how to pin this red rose in watercolor together. I painted one version of this rose before posting it on my social media sites such as Facebook, install grant and got applies and comments. I painted in only one or two hours in good time. I need to wait for the paint to dry. I think this ********, why the rose looks very realistic. It is very beginner friendly. And in this class, you will learn how to create a color palette to make a red rose more interesting. You can learn about my botanical painting techniques. If you find this glass headphone, please follow me on Skillshare and my Instagram. This is me. And that's all for this class Introduction. And let's go to the next video to learn. 2. Class Materials: I use for this class, I will chase standard 24 color box from Winsor and Newton. You can see in the middle I put a lot of colors I purchased separately. For this ********, we need to use masking fluid and tone to apply masking fluid. But it is not really important because we use masking fluid to create the veins on the list, but there's very few of them. So if you don't have a masking fluid, you can also leave the space yourself. Fit its own the colors on the pedals and on their lips. And I forgot to add the red color here, and I will add it later. For this project. In particular, as a way to 10-inch myself, I will use only one brush, the brush size five by different, see that you don't have to follow me. You can use to three brushes. Brushes for lash, brush to pin. Outer petals are large petals and maybe smaller brush to pin the rows. But of course, you can finish the painting with one brush. Like me. It isn't the first time I tried painting something with only one brush on purpose. And honestly it is not really comfortable that it is achievable. Squat for me after several years break this thing, watercolor painting. It is quite a simple post check. I can finish the whole pending within two hours. Include the time waiting for the paint to dry. I don't use a trial. You are a bit, you are a beginner. It may take you a longer term that I think this rose is not difficult. If John F or is that upper beginner level, you haven't learned what a kind of a walk. You can completely pin it because I haven't been learning with the color printing 100% or lie. So I know the, I think I know the way to communicate. Is it right here? You can see that it's only the own colors I'm using for this bowl-shaped in this only one rare color, which is quinacridone coral from Daniel Smith beds. If you don't have it, you can replace weight. Come in and Quinacridone Rose. Both are okay. 3. Drawing and Masking Fluid: Before starting to paint, we need to create an outline. I already proved by the reference photo. Outline my painting in the project section. As you can see, my ROI is a little bit different from the reference photo because I just take the tower from the reference photo and I hear myself because I think it will make the painting more interesting. As you can see here before starting to paint, I use masking fluid to mask some veins in the leaves because their lives are not the focus of this painting. So I will just make it very loosely. If you don't have masking fluid, it is okay because you can easily leave felt whilst this further up the list AP1 to learn more about different types of masking fluid, you can check out my first class here on Skillshare, where I have a bonus lesson to review different toys applying masking fluid. And that's it. It is very simple. 4. Layer 1 - Outer Petals - Part 1: As you can see, I'm mixing some colors to paint the outer petals of this rose. You can see I'm mixing the Winsor yellow by Winsor and Newton. This one is cleaner than coal from Daniel Smith. If you don't have quinacridone coral from Daniel Smith, you can. Is Quinacridone Rose, Permanent Rose from any brand. Okay? And the third one here is in green modals that in Newton. So basically, I'm just mixing three kinds of Bros, cutoffs when Nero. And for the first layer, one thing you should note here is on though, in the reference photo, the rows is in red. For the first layer, we don't use any red color at all. The only used the yellow color, the coral color. In my case, I you look a little bit at the reference photo. The lightest part in the petal in the reference photo here, even is the yellow too can eat. Because it is light, the color independent is light because it is emitted by the sun. Yellow is the color of the sun. And even in Scholar for the lightest part of the petal. I mean, it was Jameson fiber doctors part of the petal. See in the screen. That is quite simple for the other part of the petal is similarly, is quinacridone coral. If you don't have a quinacridone coral, you can use Quinacridone. Rose are coming in ROS for it. So the hope was asked is quite repetitive. You know how to paint one petal and we know how to pin the other petals. So I will speed up the video a little bit. My method for painting any flowers in general is for the first layer, we only focus on the colors. We haven't focused on the value. We haven't focused on the dark and light up the petal yet. So as you can see, if you look at the reference photo, you can see that there's only one color, which is red one. But as you see now, I'm using three ties. The colors further footstool include two rows and one yellow color is because they are in their post-test up transition. 2d photo into appending, we need to make the painting more interesting, more 3D. And putting everything on a flat paper. In order to make it 3D, we need to utilize as many colors as possible. Another thing unique to note in the first layer is to use colors, light as possible. As you can see here, I'm using It's diluted colors because one mistake, beacon nurse often make a dup Carlo for even very first layer. And in the end, even overpaying the whole painting. And the color will be very dark, because watercolor it chance current. So it may be very easy if we add more dark color that it is difficult to correct mistakes. If you pin too dark color from the very beginning. And as you can see here, I turn the whole painting around is because it is more convenient from my hand. And especially for this kind of flower. It go around, around so we don't need to put our hand on the appendix session. Another thing I want to note is asking thank, see here, I have using only one brush to paint on the pedals. And actually I am feeling of the brush is too small or large petals that are a challenge for myself or this Porsche in particular. I only use one brush for it, but you don't have to follow me. The only material which I think which is extension for this kind of painting is you need to use 100 cotton paper. If an it is just a small and simple project. You will use a lot, a lot of layers. It is very different from loose painting style in general. So unique, very good paper in order to achieve the best bees aren't. As you can see, I don't follow covered auto means I don't I don't pin the petals from this one to this one, but I jumped this one, jump to another one because I still know it cannot pin another petal, which is very near the newly paint the petal because the pen is still wet. So I just finished the first circle, the circle of the flowers. And before continue, I use an eraser to try to remove a sentential box because if you don't need it anymore, we don't remove everything that we can remove as much as possible. And I think that's it. I divided the first layer for outer petals into two videos. This video is very essential because I introduced you to unnecessary techniques. The second video it is helping King possessed. You can check if you need. But I think the whole process is quite repeat it if you know how to gain one or two petals and you will know how to paint the rest. Now, let's try painting. 5. Layer 1 - Outer Petals - Part 2: This is the second part of the painting. Feel the outer petals of this rows. And the post S is quite similar to the previous video. The only thing which is different is I introduced a new color, which is permanent rose petal near the center. Because if you look at the reference photo, you can see the hint for the rows and purple color in some petals in the center. So you can look at the video I just put in and rows in my palette. And I didn't you say to the asset both yes. Is quite similar to the BPS video. I speak a lot less entire pandemic. 6. Layer 1 - Inner Petals: If you look at the essential, the rows, you can see that the petals here more so it can be very difficult to pin each petal separately. The way I take hold this part, I will use wet on wet technique. I've kinda how central area of this rows. And then later I will use negative painting technique to pin depth area, the routing area of those small petals to make them pop. Esp, you can look at the screen whether possess a very simple, I read the whole, the whole area. I put the quinacridone coral reserve, the Winsor yellow, and some rose color scheme to eat. And that's it. It is very quick and simple, but just make sure you read carefully so that when you put the color in the center, it doesn't affect the painted petals. That if you happen to make an acid and is still very okay because we asked him very first layer is very like Carla, so we can fix it in later layers. First eat less in charge pending. 7. Layer 1 - Leaves: In this video, we will paint the first layer of leaves together, actually farther lips of this rose, but there's only one layer. And we just need to pin in this video. And that's it. Because for this painting in particular, the rows is essential for attention. And lifts here, chess, playing the supporting roles. So I think we should only pin eight in one layer. As you can see, right now, I'm mixing two colors. One is sap green, and one is earlier green from Winsor and Newton. Actually I will put on, so put a color I think which is permitted and green form a horrid amps mingle. So you don't have to follow me exactly in terms of color for the lips, because what I'm doing is I put on a green Carlos in my palette, in my color pops into the painting. I use sweat on wet technique in order to Mr. color together. First, I mean, painting the green colors. And then I will put on the colors from the petal, their lives. And that is how we pin it as you can see on my screen. So we older the masked masking fluid to create the light then further list before. So you don't have to pay attention on the wins by now. But in case you don't have masking fluid, you'll need to pay a little attention to though Vince here. And if you don't go veins, if you pin. Instead, the things that's on the techniques I use in this video lesson. 8. Layer 2 - Outter Petals - Part 1: In this video, we will start to paint the second layer of these rows. And as you can see on this glass, is painting a red rose. If it is, the first time I introduced the red Carlo into the petal, I'm using the Winsor, red from Winsor and Newton, but you can use any red Carlo in Bob's our color palette. And see the structure of a pet or is, it is duck curve in the central rose and it lighter on the outside of a row. So what I'm painting on dry technique, I put the red color in the inner side of the petal and then I clean the brush with clean water. And then I spread the color to make it gradient. The boosters is not really difficult. Just one note is when you clean the brush and when you blend the color to make it gradient effect, make sure your brush is not to try not to read this income with practice. So after several times they will know how red hot dry your brush is enough. That's it. Let's enjoy painting with me. And that is the first part. I break this process into two videos because then you pin the petals in the inner, the inside of the rose. The technique may be a bit different, but for now, it is just a repeat. The tip was SO watch with me. 9. Layer 2 - Outer Petals - Part 2: In this video, we will continue to learn how to paint the second layer. The outer pedals faced gunshot rows in what a cutoff. And SMC, I continue to use the red color. I pan the in the inner side of each petal and then I use clean water to blend it out. You can see on the title of this glass is painting of a red rose in with a color. I'll rows here has a lot of colors into it. It has, it has already has three tie up rose color, yellow and now red phi colors. And later I will introduce some more colors so it is a rainbow rows. And as you can see, the technique appending the initial i 0 first with a lot, a lot of colors with and appending. When Mick our painting, her smart death, it is not a borrowing red rose, it is a colorful red rose in watercolors. I hope you enjoy this post-test and you can learn something about color mixing, about fighting the right colors for your painting. Even though this class is quite simple. Nominee, I can finish this pending in, I think within two hours in glutenin there time waiting for the painting tubes right? Now, let's continue to enjoy our painting process. 10. Layer 2 - Inner Petals: In this video, we will focus on painting. Sitcom. The inner petals of this rose. You can see here in the reference photo, the petals. This rose has got areas, so I'm mixing, right now. I'm mixing burnt sienna, red Carlo in order to create colors which is somewhere between brow colors and red colors. And I use, this card has two pin around petal, around the petals in the central bro rows. This didn't get is negative painting. That means the pin depth every eyes in order to make the lighter areas in here, which is the flower petals pop up. As you can see. The pedal, I mean from dark area in the neon, the outer petals of the rose has some gradient effect, so it transition from dark to light. It will still use the technique we have already used in painting for a second. The outer petals report the dark color on the paper first, and then we clean the brush and then use that clean, wet brush to blend the color out to create a gradient effect from dark to light cut up. Again for this rose is quite repetitive. So if you look at me painting one or two petals, you really know how to pin the rest. As you can see, I use this mixture Carlo between in Sienna and read Carlo is to also make some small adjustments for the petals, for the outer petals. So I continue to move my painting around because I don't want to touch my hand to newly painted area. I think it's more convenient than painting with a fix. So let's continue to the MSI of the petal. And after this step, I think our rose is already formed. 11. Layer 3 - Final Details: At this stage, as you can see, Rose is already very beautiful. In this layer, the third layer, we've been focused on very small details to our rose, very real, real straight thick. As you can see here right now, I'm using the blend sienna colors mixed with the red cutoff to darken the areas need to be Doctrine in this painting. And I went in with the tip of my brush to create some veins into the petal and watch this video until the end. So it was blend on Burnt Sienna Carlo, pin, some imperfection on the pedal, and then we remove the masking fluid on the lips. This row is an after this stage, I, I believe that our roasting be incredibly beautiful. So in this stage, your roles may be a little bit different from my because some deviation during the painting booth says, you may watch this video to watch how I use different techniques from the beginning until the end. You may look at the final painting on the reference photo. To finish the painting yourself. At this stage, they should focus on the result. I would like to share with you my experience because I haven't been learning what the color painting one hundred one hundred percent online. For the first time, you watch this glass, you paint along with me. You're painting may not be perfect because that phase you focus on learning new techniques. You weren't working outside of your comfort zone. So after this class, you may come back to pin this rows alone. And I believe your painting will be much more better. That's it. Let's enjoyed painting with me. One thing I need to note here is because in this video you can see, sometimes you can see under the camera because I move the painting around. And sometimes I was so lift the painting because I am painting on very small details and I'm near-sighted. Leaf painting up to her mixture, I can see the clear detail. So forgive me. If the presenters shown up there painting, the presence of the painting on the screen is not perfect. 12. Final Thought: Thus eight emit eight. You have already painted this beautiful, gorgeous red rose in with a color. And you must be very proud of yourself. Now, I was so attached in the projects session of this glass. Never variation of this rose, the same rose bed with different arrangement of the rings. You can try it yourself. It'd be went to challenge yourself. Again.
