Plein air painting a rose | Rose oil painting process

In this video I show my process for plein air painting a rose. I show my rose oil painting process, starting with blocking in darker colors, then adding lighter colors, and finally refining details. Plein air painting a rose is a great way to study light and color from direct observation.

Great video and the painting turned out amazing. Impressive to do that with plein air! Roses are so complicated yet you simplified it very beautifully.

making the shadows less black... what a neat idea!
gonna implement that to achieve a softer, more lifelike look.

It’s beautiful! You’re very brave to keep going after you’ve laid down the color. Often times I get worried I’m gonna mess myself up or overwork it. I really love the ethereal quality of this!

Love watching your process, Christina! Your combination of brush and knife are very effective. May I ask: What brush are you using? It looks like a bright or flat with a nice crisp edge. Thanks in advance!
