Painting 6 is blendy abstract roses. The first wet into wet part goes quick, but it's all about blobs and few details. I would suggest watching it through a few times to get an idea of what to aim for when you work through it. Use paper towel to lift light areas out to create loose petal shapes. Then when you get to the final details, do as few strokes as possible. I can't wait to see how you do with this one! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Paper: arches 140 lb cotton 9X12" paper that I've cut into 3X3" pieces, giving me 12 pieces per page.

Paint: For this project I am using a split primary palette- cad yellow deep, lemon yellow, cad red, magenta, ultramarine blue, cerulean, indigo and sap green. The colors I'm using today are - Cad yellow, magenta, sap green, and ultramarine blue

Brushes: round 4 and 10 - Princeton brand.

Ooh I’m excited to try this one! I have a feeling it’s harder than it looks!

Heather R Hare

There’s a couple places where the video freezes and then skips ahead… is that happening for anyone else, or just me?

Erin T

Yes happened twice for me

Michelle

This is lovely…can’t wait to give it a go 💕

Helen

This will be a good exercise for me. Abstract is way out of my comfort zone.

Jerri

I’m painting my sister’s birthday card today. Maybe I’ll paint roses for her.

Lindsay

How cute are these roses. — I admit, I am still a little afraid of the clouds but I will muster my Brave today.

Beverly

Oh I love this one ! Yippee

Jen P

Excited to try this! Do you have a reference photo? I have a hard time painting without that. Thanks!!

Sandy Manning

Wow that is lovely and very blobby. Now I see why wet into wet was your theme for maybe January. It really takes us out of our comfort zone but in a good way. Thanks Kristin

Nancy Guenther

Yes, I thought my Internet was being wonky. Thanks!

Sandy Manning

I see you holding your brush higher than midway which will help with loses painting won’t it?

Anwar Molani

What a beautiful technique! I never thought of painting a rose like this. Thanks Kristin.

Luella

Wow! Wow! Wow!

charlotte

The video skipped ahead for me too…

Lindsay

I COMPLETELY LOVE how different everybody’s roses are. And yet, clearly of the same “family kind.”

aggg I *always* go in too heavy on the first round... I'd love if you did a live show on how to NOT go in too heavy on the first round. I guess I just need more practice on having a light hand. It is my downfall on every tiny painting <3

I just wanted to compliment everyone on their tiny paintings…many of you add sheepish comments with mild criticisms and I want you to know that I often disagree with you and think your work is TERRIFIC! No need to make allowances…The roses 🌹 are especially delightful! Bravo everybody. Chin up and don’t sell yourselves short…Sending big high fives!

Michelle

Thank you for having your water and palette in the camera! That is so helpful

Roseanne Therese

Absolutely love the focus of wet on wet technique so much!

K-Ann

This technique is really fun and beautiful, mine doesn’t look like a rose but it is a flower!

Lindsay

I avoided this for a week because I was afraid of it. But it was fine lol.

Mary Ann Williams

Getting ready to do this one and I really appreciate you mentioning using the #4 brush to get a more concentrated pigment mixture! I've been using my #10 round long (Princeton Velvetouch) and I've been noticing Im struggling with my mixes being too thin and watery, even when I try to tap out as much water as possible on paper towels before picking up pigment. That #10 hold SO MUCH water!! I'll try the small one and see if that helps.

helen

OMG! This was so easy and fabulous!

Leslie

Tried three times and my roses always end up looking like peonies.

Martje Boer

Hai Kristin, I keep having trouble with te darker colours; in all the paintings. Everytime I try to put darker colour in, it is so light and blend out so fast; despite te fact that I use Canson paper. Do I use to much water in the pigment? But how else can I mix the colours and then transfer them over to my paper? Or is it the brand of brush?
