David Austin’s Rose Golden Celebration in watercolor

SOLD

This is a small version of the beautiful yellow David Austin Rose “Golden Celebration”. I have painted it in watercolor on 600 g (340 Lb) coldpressed Arches paper.

My Colours for the Rose were: Indian Yellow, Aureolin (for the cooler and lighter areas), Translucent Orange, Scarlet Red, Alizarin Crimson, Phthalo Blue.
On the leaves I used Sap Green, Indian Yellow, Helio Turquoise, Alizarin Crimson.
In the background I did at first washes of Indian Yellow, Alizarin Crimson and Sap Green and Helio Turquoise. I placed them side by side and let them flow. I then added a mix of Alizarin Crimson, Sap Green and Helio Turquoise, which gives you a really dark colour.

watercolor

SOLD

This is the Rose Amelita Renaissance. It is really a lovely rose with a beautiful colour. Not really pink, not really orange and not really red.
For the colours on this Rose I used translucent Orange, Permanent Rose, Alizarin Crimson and Phthalo Blue. I also added some of Sap Green at the base of the Rose.
The painting is done on 600 g (300 Lb) coldpressed Arches watercolor paper, unstretched.
While painting the Rose I tried to let the colours flow on the Rose instead of mixing them before on my palette.

White Rose and E-book about watercolor

SOLD

This white Rose is named "Weiße Weihnacht", translated : "White Christmas".
I thought this would fit perfect in the season and I had fun to paint it.
It is a small one, 6x6 inch (15x15 cm) and painted on 600 g (140 Lb) unstretched coldpressed watercolor paper.

I will not speak too much about this painting for now, because I am working on an E-book about watercolor painting. I have already done 2 full Step-by-Step-Demonstrations. One is about a Golden Magnolia and the other one is a fantastic wonderful Rose. And there is also a white-on-white Lesson (see Rose above) and I am sure there is much to see in this E-book.
I have done many many photos of so many steps while painting and try to explain all that what and why I am doing this and that.
I am not sure if this E-book will be finished still in December or maybe in January, because I want to make sure that it will be a really fantastic book with a lot of infos.
So if you have still any questions about watercolor painting please address them to me and I will see if I can add them with the answers of course into this book.

And I have done more greeting cards of my Roses. I am having now a complete set of 8 different Roses cards and I am having really fun creating them.
