Painting roses

Lyn Stone15th October 2013

Here is another one of my video tutorials, and this time it is all about painting roses. Among the many different subjects that I covered for videojug, one which they said was popular with surfers was information on how to paint a rose.

This video was filmed in the second round of videos I worked on with videojug. For the first set of twenty I went up to their tiny studio in Central London. However for the second set of videos they wanted me to do quite a bit of painting, and that would have meant lugging lots of art equipment on the train and tube. So, they offered to come to me, and turned my living room into a TV studio – quite literally. They brought in lights and other equipment. Goodness knows what my neighbours thought of the whole thing – especially as the curtains and blinds had to be drawn…

Anyway, today I would like to share with the video on how to paint a rose. You’ll need either a stretched piece of watercolour paper or strong cartridge paper, a fine brush, water colour paints, water (I use an old jam jar) and most of all patience! Good luck.
