June Rose Series: Marilyn Monroe (Patreon)

Hi everyone, you will have seen this quick cut tutorial on social media. As per usual, Patrons get the longer version! I didn't draw this but I've listed pencil and erasers if you want to put in your stem and flower centre as we often do.

This is part of the June Rose Series, as a concerted effort by me to get comfortable with painting all kinds of roses. They are such a popular flower whilst being so varied in style. I get asked to teach them often so this felt like a great challenge for me...and for you!

You will need:

Cold Pressed watercolour Paper

HB pencil

Hard and soft erasers

Colours I used: Pyrrol Orange, Yellow Ochre, Green Gold, Sap Green, Aqua Green, Deep Sap Green, Paynes Grey

Brushes I used: Pointed round size 8, 4, 2, 0, 2/0
