Painting Roses

Viewers have been asking me to post a "floral" video. Roses are one of our favorite flowers and in this lesson, I share my techniques for capturing them on canvas, using a few simple brush-strokes.

Yes, the same brushstrokes will yield the same results.

Thanks for the video, Wilson. Pity about th camera work.

[wilsonbickford]

@Barrykee Yes it is, but I didn't realize it 'til it was all said and done. I used the same camera positioning and layout as all of my previous videos, so I assumed that would be fine. Lesson learned for next time! But, I think it still shows enough of the process to get the idea across. I've had many "YouTubers" paint these and send the photos to me and they all did well with them.

how come my other color gets mixed in with the bottom layer? thank you

[wilsonbickford]

@wobushiwo7 My guess is that you aere either laying down too much of the base color, which will make it more prone to be "picked up" and mixed in. Scrub that initial layer down thinner. Also, when applying the upper layers, use a lot of paint on the brush and a light touch. A light touch will deposit the paint "on top" and not dredge the undercolor up through it.

Thanks for showing this. It would be great if your cameraman could film to the right so we can see the strokes while your painting instead of the back of your hand.

Love it though!! TFS

That's brilliant! I have huge respect for people who can paint like you.
