"Showcasing a variety of roses, the projects in this collection will both challenge and instruct tenderfoot artists to improve their painting techniques. The five step-by-step demonstrations reveal how to paint roses without having to rely on advanced drawing skills. With an expressive and bold style that captures the strong, rich hues within the petals of roses, artist Janet Whittle demystifies watercolor painting. The projects use a variety of techniques and feature suggested ways of mixing and matching so that the tracings can be reused to create many different paintings."--Publisher's description.
