I used to paint a lot, but stopped painting for 4 years after I broke up with my boyfriend, and for some reason I decided to pick up my brush today and you helped me feel what I used to feel painting. Thank you. 💜this was so cute and easy to follow, thank you!! I will be posting a vlog soon going through these steps.

Think of the letter ‘C’ to paint the curved petals...that’s how I started...thanks for the video

When I saw it first time I thought it would be very difficult but you told such an easy way of painting this rose you are superb

Katie, thanks for teaching us how to paint a rose in a very free, loose manner. Painting roses can tighten one up, due to nervous habits where we labor too much causing a disaster. You calmed me down so that I can stay loose and carefree when I paint my roses, which I am into lately. Thanks for your wonderful lesson, I will stay loose.

I did it today and I LOVE it.... of course I am just a begginer but I am happy with how it came out. Thank you for simplifying the process for me. Finding joy in quarantine....THANK YOU!!

Katie: Anybody can do this.

My skills: But nobody you know.

Watching the birth of a beautiful flower was a real joy for me. Thank you kind Katie.

I loved watching how the primary rose came to life as you added each layer. Your style, though, is exquisite. Thank you for sharing this. I’d love to see more videos just like this. Hope you have a lovely, sunshiny happy day💗😊

I didn't think of doing it great, but it come up really pretty. I also learned mixing those color tones for my rose. Thank you!

Lovely rose tutorial! Thank you for keeping it quiet without music.

It took you less than 3 minutes to do the beautiful base rose. That is amazing

Katie you helped me connect with my love of color at a very low time in my life. I had forgotten I could paint. You are so gifted and inspiring. Thankyou for sharing your gift freely..much love

[TheCraftofPetra]

The simplest yet the most beautiful rose painting i've seen here in youtube. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[michellet]

I can’t explain how much of an inspiration you are for me. I paint in a similar free form way because everytime I try to do a detailed/super realistic painting I just don’t feel like it’s me. Thanks for showing your process and being so humble yet so talented. You are a gift to the world!!! Bless.

As a beginner it would be so helpful to know the brush sizes used. Thank you! Loved your painting and going to give it a try.

Beautiful! I love the loose style!! I'd love to see you paint a mermaid seascape!💜💙💜💙💜

Think I'll give this one a go next. I've done the large rose yesterday and I was going to give it to my father-in-law as a memory for his later wife who will be gone 2 years this March. She loves roses and the colour pink so hopefully, Katie, I've done your painting justice.
