After practicing loose, freestyle watercolor roses for a couple of days, I had quite a “garden” of them to be made into greeting cards.

They are quite fun to paint, take shape quickly, and make an elegant presentation.

Beautiful roses, Carol. I think I can almost smell them. Love, Mom
Fun for you to make..but what a joy to receive!!! xo Johanna
Thank you for your kind words, Johanna; they mean a lot to me!
That’s nicely done Carol. I gave up on this a while ago as I always get lost when drawing roses. I guess I could give it a try again. I particularly like the yellow pack.
Very pretty Carol! I can almost catch a scent but I will take the time to smell the real roses today. Thank you.
Happy Wednesday to you too Carol these are beautiful!!
Thank you, Sissh 🙂
Thanks, Susan – I hope you enjoy a peaceful, fragrant day 🙂
Yes, you should revisit it again. I also worked on them in starts and stops and finally go the hang of it. I’m glad you like them, especially the yellow roses 🙂
Thanks, Mom! ❤
Lovely watercolors as always. 🙂
Why thank you, Ivy Li 🙂
Lovely Carol!! 💕🌹😄
Who ever gets one of your cards will be a lucky person 🙂
beautiful cards, Carol! ❤
Thank you, Carrie Lynn 🙂
That is sweet of you to say, Birgit. Thank you!
This is so funny because I tried painting this type of rose last night only it looked nothing like yours. Yours are actually beautiful. I think my paper was too wet and everything ran together. Great job Carol! 🙂
Thanks, Carol! I painted them on dry paper and followed each “petal” with a brush of just clean water to spread out where I wanted them too. Keep at it – they took a lot of practice for me 🙂
