I've got five top tips for you on how to paint brilliant watercolour roses. The loose watercolour rose is one of my most requested tutorials so I thought I would break it down into these easy tips before painting a full new botanical study.

I'd love to hear your suggestions for things you would like to learn how to paint in the comments below.

You will also need a pencil, eraser and a compass.

When the instructor is SO talented, she can't mess up a rose 😂🌹Even your 'What not to do" looks like a gorgeous abstract rose.

Finally a tutorial where everything is explained clearly and the process is shown slowly. I really appreciate it. Thank you for a high quality video!

Easy to follow instructions and superb camerawork. Thanks for a really outstanding tutorial.

You are an incredible teacher! I've just finally got round to the roses, not my favorite flower. I follow a handful of youtube watercolorists, never quite satisfied. Most just paint "loose" as an excuse to be mediocre, IMHO.
I was so happy to find your channel! I've been painting up a storm the last month and my art shows improvement. Thank you! Your books are also detailed and informative. Many readings of each will be required. Your style is a delight.

I started painting three months ago and so wanted to paint a rose. I have watched so many videos and finally someone diagnosed what I was doing incorrectly. I am so excited. Thank you for the beautiful rose. As an educator I doubly appreciate your lesson.

Not do you do a wonderful detailed instruction but it's wonderful to be taught by a fellow lefty! Thanks!

[michaellakowicz]

This is the best rose tutorial I’ve found! Thank you so much for the specifics!

[bonniefowler]

I love your commentary throughout this and every video. You are very natural and so calming. You provide practical advice and information. Tomorrow, I'm going to start at the beginning of your tutorials and work my way through them, systematically. I believe you have created a sensible starting place and build up from there. Cheers.

I'm struggling with watercolor but your videos explains so much more than any other video I've watched so far thank you for being you and explaining exactly what to do

[kimotten]

Wonderful tutorial -- the "what not to do" examples are very helpful (particularly the one about leaving too much white space). Looking forward to tips about adding leaves to those beautiful roses!

I've been struggling with painting roses for a while. I have a dear friend who grows ¡ROSES! She has 60 beautiful bushes. I want to do a really nice painting for her. You've made that possible.
❤Thank You ❤.

[leilaapunkt]

This was by far the best tutorial on watercolor roses I've watched. Thank you for that :)

[rebeccafiveash]

Thankyou for showing clearly how to paint a rose and how not to...mine always looked like a spinning wheel with too much white and being balanced. So glad you speak clearly and slowly too. Can't wait for more roses and in different angles.

[dorisjimison]

I love your video so much, I am rewatching it over and over! I love this type of rose.

[gwenparsons]

Your tips are so very helpful. I’ll continue practicing!
