Pastel Tea Rose in Watercolour Part 1

A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.

For our watercolour project this month we have a lovely soft, pastel coloured Tea Rose. There is some really nice light and shade on this project, so it's a great chance for you to practice painting shadows and mixing botanical greys. Happy Painting.
