Hi everyone,

Here is Part 1 of the Pale Pink Rose tutorial.

I've divided this tutorial into three videos. The links to the other parts are below.

All of the files you need are attached below my message here. I've included an enlarged copy of the rose line drawing for those who have difficulty enlarging the drawing for printing. I've also attached a PDF version of the Supplies List for those who can't open doc.x files.

The centre is a bit fiddly and requires some patience but I take it slow and I've included some progress photos that will help you when you paint yours. Take your time with it. I painted this rose over several days. I didn't do it one sitting.

Part 2 is here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/55892822

Part 3 is here:  https://www.patreon.com/posts/55893041

I hope you enjoy it.

Louise

If I do a tutorial where I use another photographer's photo (eg from Pixabay or Unsplash) that is available for anyone throughout the world to download (copyright free) and use I’m happy for you to sell the paintings you create from the tutorial.

If I do a tutorial and I use a photo that I have paid for and downloaded from the website Wildlife Reference Photos in order for you to sell the painting you create from the tutorial you need to purchase and download the photograph yourself.

Hi Louise, I find that permanent mauve and permanent magenta are very much alike. What’s the reason you chose these two to be used together?

Louise De Masi

Hi Ong, Permanent Mauve is a lighter colour than Permanent Magenta. When I painted this I didn't do a lot of colour mixing so I chose colours that would work together without having to mix anything.

Natalie Hughes

HI Louise. I was hesitant about doing this one as didn't think I could manage to do an advanced tutorial. But so glad I did, absolutely loved doing it even though I found it challenging at times. I am starting to get to grips with not being too heavy-handed or fussing too much. Your tutorials are teaching me patience as well and to just relax into it. I used to be intimidated by watercolour, but thanks to your amazing tutorials and wonderful teaching style I am falling madly in love with watercolour and find as soon as I have completed one, I want to move on to the next. I feel like a kid in a candy store. So thank you for all the work you do into helping teach us how to paint beautiful watercolours :).

Louise De Masi

That's so wonderful! I'm really pleased. Thank you very much Natalie. ❤️

Diane Kessler

Is it possible you watch your videos in full screen? I’m not able to. My full screen icon is greyed out.

Louise De Masi

Hi Diane, Dom here. You should be able to on the computer but some have said that it doesn't work on the app.

Hi Louise, I'm so glad that I found your site. I've been painting in watercolor for about a year now {I started at seventy during my retirement] and I've learned a lot about washes, water content of paper vs. paint, etc. What I'm lacking is tiny details which your work seems to emphasize, working more realistically than semi-abstract landscapes or line-and-wash, etc. I have one question which is when I do the traceables, and then move on to the painting it seems that the lines on the download do not always match the lines on the video and this gets a little confusing to me. I also have a question about the W&N Perm Magenta [which is listed as a PV19 on the tube] and the W&N Perm Mauve [which is listed as a PV16 on the tube]. Also reference info from https://janeblundellart.blogspot.com/search?q=winsor+and+newton . The other colors that also contained PV16 [and there was only a few] seemed to have different color characteristics from the W&N. And these two colors are distinctly different although they are extremely complimentary to each other. Feedback, advice, or comments are appreciated.

Louise De Masi

Hi Dan, Thank you so much. When I first began creating tutorials, my approach was to trace the finished painting to generate the line drawing I shared in the tutorial. This method sometimes resulted in minor discrepancies between the original line drawing and the one I provided. However, as I've gained more experience in tutorial creation, I've realised the importance of starting with and providing the exact same drawing. From around 2022 onwards, I've made a point to do precisely this. If you're finding any challenges, you might find it beneficial to try some of my newer tutorials, where I ensure the line drawing you get is the one I initially used. Watercolour pigments like Winsor & Newton's Permanent Magenta (PV19) and Permanent Mauve (PV16) differ because of their chemical composition, the manufacturing process and the formulation. Because of this, you’ll find that some paints with the same pigment code differ slightly between the different paint manufacturers. It might help if you make little swatches of your colours and keep them in a journal or folder to refer to.

Dan in MD

Hi Louise, Thank you for your informative and speedy reply. I will look for tutorials dated 2022 or later as I really have trouble adjusting sketches [drawing is not my strong suit]. Regarding the paints, I do swatch my colors, and I once had a conversation with Dan of M. Graham about pigments. I just didn't own a Mauve. I know I could mix it. I almost used Rose of Ultramarine or possibly a watery Thioindigo Violet. M. Graham's Mineral violet looked too opaque to me. And when I held up my swatches next to the monitor, even the Permanent Rose looked off. So I ordered a tube of Permanent Mauve to make sure that I had the right shade as it just wasn't a color I felt comfortable substituting without a sample in front of me. I do enjoy your tutorials immensely. They are very soothing, relaxing, and just plain fun. And like you I buy full imperial sheets, cut them down, and for extreme wet-on-wet I always stretch first and then use an otto stretcher to hold the Arches 640 gsm paper, and doing this I no longer get any buckles. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll be able to post up one of your tutorials on the Patron app. Again thank you Louise...I really do appreciate your comments. I'm sorry I don't write in shorter messages [I'm not a social media type] but as Mark Twain once said "I would have written a shorter letter but I didn't have the time." Take good care Louise...

Hello! I don’t have the W&N perm magenta or the mauve. I do have Daniel Smith Quin magenta PR202 and Rose Of Ultramarine. The latter is a mix of Pb29 and PV19. When I look at swatches of both DS colors I think I could use them, I’ll have to water them down a bit. I love Roses. Thanks for the videos.

ann fuller

I have the YouTube icon as a choice on the bottom of the video, it takes you to YouTube where you can go full screen.

ann fuller

I read further down where you suggest the DS Rose of ultramarine.

ann fuller

I think DS lilac pr122 will look right for the perm magenta. Thanks for the link to the WN swatches. That helps a lot!

Louise De Masi

Thanks Ann. I hope it's looking good with the substitute colours.

ann fuller

Dumb question: in the drawing, the center has dark areas that looked different than what you painted. Do I need to outline those areas. I’m thinking yes. I’ll look at the progress photo and go by that. I think I answered my own question. Needless to say mine wasn’t near as pretty as yours. ☺️

Louise De Masi

Yes use the progress photo to help you- I'm sure yours will be beautiful. 😍

Louise De Masi

Thanks Suzanne. Selecting colours for a painting takes a bit of thought and every painting is different. These days, (not so much with this painting because it's older) - I start with a limited palette, choosing as few colours as possible that I know can be mixed to create all the shades I need. This approach helps maintain harmony in the artwork. It's also crucial to understand the properties of each colour on my palette, such as their opacity, transparency, and how they interact with one another. It takes patience and practice but eventually you'll have a fondness for a group of colours and you'll reach for them all the time because you understand them and they work well for you.

Hanna

Where can i find the supplies list plz

Louise De Masi

Hi Hanna. It's right above your message here. I always attach all of the files underneath my message to everyone under the video. You'll see the files are in red font.

Hanna

Found it! Thx so much

Hanna

Hi, there! Going to a second try with the rose. On the kist of supplies you have permanent rose pv19 and permanent magenta also as pv19. Is that a mistake? What color could i use to substitute the magenta? Thx

Louise De Masi

Hi Hanna, no not a mistake- that's correct. Daniel Smith's Quinacridone Red and Quinacridone Rose have the same pigment code - PV19. I'm thinking maybe try adding a small amount of blue into one of those colours to see if you can darken it slightly.

Marika Roth

Hello Louise, Here are the pink and rose colors I have on hand. Can they be used as substitutes? Quin Rose, Van Gogh, MG Red Violet. I also have Quin. Red by MaimeriBlu. What is a substitute for Perm Mauve? Thank you for your help.

Louise De Masi

Hi Marika, I think D S Rose of Ultramarine would be beautiful instead of Permanent Mauve. Use what you have. Remember to match the values to mine if you can (lightness and darkness) rather than the colour itself.

Lily O

Hi Louise, I love this rose painting! I know its obviously pale pink, but could you suggest a darker pink than permanent rose so the rose will be more vibrant?

Louise De Masi

Hi Lily, Thank you! Permanent Rose is quite dark at it's full strength.

Carol Crawford Barfield

Hi Louise, I love Opera Rose, but not it's fugitive properties. Would it be protected from fading if it is framed behind UV protected glass and not placed near a window or in direct sunlight? Thank you.
