I have worked a bit more on this rose painting. At first I have darkened more the leaves around the buds, I did this with using sap green, alizarin crimoson and phthalo blue. I mixed the colours on my palette. I also added some of the rose colour on the leaves, as I described this Part V. Then I removed the masking fluid of the first rose, because I do not like to have this masking fluid too long time on the painting. I am not sure, if it will be removeable, when it is too long on the paper. To go without risk, I simply removed it, because the rose is done and I do not need it longer there. After this I started with a rose, which is at the bottom of the painting. Since this rose lays not in the center of interest, I made the colours cooler than the other rose. I have worked more with permanent rose, brillant purple, sap green, alizarin crimson and phthalo blue. I also used Aureolin, which is a cool yellow. I also have greyed down the colours a bit, so this rose will not be a competition to the other rose. I still have to soften the edges there. In the first photo you will see a close up and in the next photo you will see the whole painting, so you have a good idea, where I am working.





I have not done so much progress on this rose painting as I hoped I would do. It is going slowly, but I already like what I have done so far. I am working around the painting, doing my layers with the same colours, which I have used before. I have worked on another bloom and you can see, that this bloom is also a bit cooler than the first painted rose, which is really warm. TIP: Although I am doing a light underdrawing I always erase the drawinglines again before I start with adding the first layer of colour. I do not like to see pencil lines later shining through the rose. When you have done your first layer of colour it is mostly impossible, to erase the lines. So keep them fine and light. I will show a full version of the painting and some close ups. I still have to soften some edges, also I have to add maybe more darks on the leaves. I will also look on the rosepetals again, if I am happy with them, if I need more darks etc. There is still a lot to do, but I hope to do more progress in the next days.










Here is an update of my rose painting. There is progress, but still a lot to do. I work in the same way how I have started and I am using also of course the same colours.
