Here are some more steps of my Rose painting in oil.
The size is 20″x20″.
In the shadows I am using all colours on my palette: Sap Green, Cadmium Yellow, alizarin crimson, burnt sienna, Cerulean blue, phthalo green, phthalo blue. I add Naples Yellow to the titanium white to have not such a harsh white – I want to have the rose not be too cool. I am curious by myself how this painting will look when it is finished. 
Beautiful painting! I love how the light shines through the petals. Thanks for showing the progression.
Thank you Alex, I am glad you like it.
This is coming on beautifully doris, its lovely to see the progress shots.
I love your site, it gives me a happy feeling to see your paintings thanks a lot,
Greetings Elly Masdorp
Love the flowers. Love the paintings. keep up the good art!!
I can’t wait to see it finished and see how the yellow underpainting works in the final stage… so far, it’s looking unbelievable
Best regards,
