Description
Multi-colored Roses Still Life in a loose watercolor style, by Conni Schaftenaar.
Using a tutorial by fellow FAA artist Bette Orr, I've been playing with loose roses. This one is pink roses on a green/teal/blue background, and uses some negative painting techniques to bring out the leaves. I updated the original by adding some details of water and stems not in the first version.
