Valentine’s day and roses. What a perfect combination.
I love roses. And I had wanted to learn to paint roses from the very first decorative painting class I joined. I think I made my teacher laugh!
When I started teaching, I only taught roses as a second class…but for a couple of enthusiastic students, I broke the rules and taught them roses as their first project!
There are so many roses to learn. There are stroke roses. Folk art roses. Free hand roses. Patterned roses. Realistic roses. There are so many ways to paint them. Zhostovo roses. Bavarian multi-loaded roses. Hindeloopen roses. Rosemaled roses.
And of course – what everyone must remember – everyone’s roses are different. No matter how and what is taught, eventually your roses will be YOUR roses. It becomes your trademark. The more you paint it, the more you will develop YOUR rose.
Have a great Valentine’s Day.
