Following the easy 4 steps and you will get a rose!

1. Use H/B pencil to sketch the outlines. Pay special attentions to the rose details. Each petals’ outlines should be carefully sketched.
2. Use light color to paint the petal and use dark color to draw the outlines. Add some backgrounds (light colors first) to make thie painting more concrete.
3. Add the dark color of rose and the background fence.
4. Add more details with darker colors. You can spray water on the edge to make the edge appears blur instead of sharp.
