Rose drawing and painting demo, the dead layer of our single rose.We started with a rose drawing and now move to the dead layer of painting demo here with the imprimatur part of the painting. It is put in quickly with a large brush. Then the brush strokes are smoothed out with the blending and dry mop brush. This photo shows the complete umber under layer. I've taken a short cut by adding white to this layer and I wanted a very bright rose in the end.  These next 2 photos show the application of paint. Only about 4 different tones of grays are used because this is so small. But taking your time, when blending these grays together, will give you a convincing shade, shadow and half shadow variance to make for a realistic painting.  Much of the grays here will be blended right here on the canvas. This is one of the things I truly love about oil paints!  A shot from back after the correcting and final blending have been completed.  A close up of a few pedals I've added for interest.  A close up of the blossom  I'm still trying to decide on the final color of this rose. I've posted a few pics to my favorite art forum to get a little feed back from fellow artists. Well, its been a few weeks, and I've got some answers back, and my rose is now completed! Come join me and see the color layers and finishing layers of this petite piece!
