Well 6 hours in, wiped off roses once. They are still looking terrible! But I am determined to get these! Will pick it up tomorrow again.

This was the hardest painting I ever attempted. 6 revisions later, I cropped the painting and only kept the left most rose. I just couldn’t get the bottom rose to look right at all. Time to move on. Good learning though.

Chris, such a wonderful rose portrait - can’t wait to try it. You have a magical touch with color nuances!

Having been severely challenged by roses.... Yeah....simplified so well

Hey Chris! Great tutorial how to paint roses. You helped me paint pretty nice roses for our 6th year anniversary day! How do you write good looking signatures? Would love to know how to write signatures on my paintings.

Chris Fornataro

You can use a small rigger brush or sometimes when the paint is still wet I will use the back end of my brush to scrape in my signature

Well I did paint the roses, but unable to do it as well as Chris. I put it on the FB page for Paint Coach members and did get some nice comments though.

Hi, I tried painting some red roses, but I found that when trying to make the centre of the rose darker it brought that part forward. Do you have any advice for painting when the part that is further away is darker?

Insightful tips here thanks Chris. The background color to outline the edges of the flowers at the end really made them pop!!
