Base rose with color of choice using the Badger Flat Brush. Make sure this is not dry paint, but thinned with medium to the consistency of mayonnaise. Keep edges ragged and pull in other background colors. This makes the petals more transparent, so stretch the paint out. Locate the center of the rose and base in a lighter color than the base color. Soften into the base color.
Sketch in the rose using transfer paper over the wet paint or sketch in with thinned while oil paint. Look at the worksheet for placement.
Starting with the outside petals, load the Sable Brush with Petal Mix color ( which should be lighter than the base color). Place the brush at the outer tip of the petal. Pull down toward the center of each petal (shown on the Rose worksheet under ruffled petals). As the brush reaches the base of the petal, release the pressure. Overlap your strokes slightly. Soften any brush lines with the Mini Mop brush. Do the front of the rose last (shown on the worksheet under center petals.) Tip some of the petals with light blue
Tap centers in with the Mini Mop brush and thicker paint ( shown under finished rose.)
