ROSES - Watercolor

Yesterday I was lucky enough to spend the afternoon painting with my art buddies. My goal was to finish up some paintings that I had started a while ago.

This is what I started with - I had previously painted the initial wet on wet and then begun to use negative painting to create the roses. I did not draw anything to begin with.

This is the final painting. I refined the flower shapes, added shading on the petals, darkened the centers, negatively painted leaf shapes and added the stems. All in all a great day!
