Watercolor Garden Sketchbook Winter Rose Tutorial

Watercolor Garden Sketchbook Winter Rose Tutorial: In this demo we will be painting Alla Prima or all at once with lifting and chalk accents.
Important to remember: Keep a calm pace as you paint, never be afraid to step up and walk away to take a moment, a deep breath, and a reminder to keep calm and paint on!
If you choose to paint along here is my formula for an emotive watercolor gardening experience:
1) All at once sketching: Loose pencil sketch of subject focusing on rose and leaf shapes, capturing the silhouette. Similar to contour drawing try to sketch without lifting your pencil off the paper.
2) All at once first layer: paint loose brush strokes blocking in color, shaping the pink rose petals and cool green leaves, drop in a little yellow into your petals, and a little pink into your leaves. With a thirsty brush lift out highlights.
3) All at once finishing touches: Find your calm and begin to balance your painting. Are your colors balancing? Value? Details? Cutting our own stencils from plastic or tape we can add balancing highlights by lifting, add balancing values with negative painting, and add balancing textures with our chalk or pastel pencil.

Color Mix Tip: Dip the tip of your angle shader brush into a base color and mix together with one tablespoon water. Continue to dip the tip of brush to get a bit of mix in color and/or base color until you get a favorable color blend.

Adding more water = tea consistency/ lighter values
Less water =milk consistency/ darker values
No water = honey consistency / full value

Caution: Pthalo colors are very dominant in mixes, less is more.
