Try Anica’s Art Skool free for 7 days and start painting more confidently today: skool.com/anicas-art-skool/about In this beginner watercolour tutorial we look at simplifying the process of drawing a rose in particular the rose centre and outer petals using a very simple "Figure-8" method. You'll see just how easy it is to draw and paint a rose with a dagger brush, even if you've never done it before! The Rose Centre: We look at it from a simple spiral perspective and change it into a ribbon which is then magically transformed into a rose's centre. The outer petals are formed simply by using the Figure-8 method. Master this easy method and you'll never need another rose reference to paint from. At Anica's Art Skool you'll find a whole Rose Master Class with all these and other techniques explained in detail.
