Perhaps the ultimate symbol of love and beauty.\u00a0But if you’ve ever tried to draw a rose flower in a realistic style before, you might not have been enamored with your result.<\/p>\n

All those petals make a rose an impressive looking flower, but rather intimidating if you’re hoping to create a representative drawing or painting of it.<\/p>\n

But there’s a simple method you can follow to keep you on track with capturing roses on your paper whether you’re working with watercolor or just in pencil.<\/p>\n

The key is to build up tone (value) through layers, across the whole flower.<\/p>\n

In this mini class we’ll practice this method.<\/p>\n

All you’ll need is a pencil and some smooth paper.<\/h2>\n

As you’ll see, I use 3 different pencils to make it really easy to create a wide tonal range and add in fine details, but with a sharp HB pencil you can achieve a similar result.<\/p>\n

I’ll be giving you an overview of the process in this video, to give you an idea of the process.<\/p>\n

(If you’re looking for more detailed instruction, there’s a full length video class in Nature Studio<\/a> which is over an hour long and includes step by step instruction on how to draw a rose flower, rose leaves and a rosebud. Members also get a traceable outline drawing and reference photos).[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
