Rose

Done for Artistle improvement challenge Artistle Tutorial Challenge #1 [deadline extended]

It's taught me a lot about how watercolours layer - the more I do this the more it's going to sink in, and remind me that I need to work light to dark and preserve whitespace, I need to /plan/ not just notice the highlights on the leaves are blue way too late to add them in.

As I have been told by someone wiser and smarter than me, OBSERVE FIRST!

I tried hard to see the whole form of the rose as well, bit of a fail there, but at least I had some idea of what was going on at the back of the flower which made the front that I could see make sense.

I would like to paint this again, but with wet on wet washes and a much looser and more impressionist style.
