THE YELLOW BEAUTY WORK IN PROGRESS

The yellow rose original illustration using Winsor&Newton cowman watercolors on Daler-Rowey cold pressed paper by Inkstruck

Although most people love the red rose, my absolute favorite of them is the yellow one. They are such subtle beauties with so many layers of gorgeousness. In my opinion, they give out so much more warmth than it’s otherwise popular red one. And I’ve been wanting to do a little painting of them for a while. I found the perfect image while surfing on Pinterest and I really can’t wait to finish and show it to you lovely people.

Down below you can see the lovely yellow rose is slowly coming to life in my illustration. I think it pops out so much in front the turquoise blue background. I’m beginning to love watercolors so much nowadays. I never really gave this medium much of a thought earlier but it’s such a versatile medium. Also it’s quick and that’s what I love most about it.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

What do you think are those blue vertical rectangular thingies in the background? A cookie and virtual hug for whoever guesses that! 😀

I would guess the verticles are either fence pickets or window blinds.

I like the background. 🙂 Watercolors are so difficult. I never quite mastered it, but did earn a B in college (as an elementary education major).

Love this! Great use of yellow. (I love yellow)

I agree, I just love yellow roses! So pretty.

Such beautiful colors!

I too love yellow roses! Red seems so common that I tend to like the more unique colors 🙂 Once again, another beautiful piece of art you are creating!!

Beautiful! And yellow and that bright, lighter blue is one of my favorite color combinations!

Hi, saw your link at The Blog Hob Knob…great painting, love the colors! I think the yellow rose really pops and looks perfect with that light blue background, which I’m guessing is the fence? Following you on Bloglovin’ now, have a nice day. 🙂

I love yellow roses too- I even had them in my wedding boquet many years ago. Love how the illustration is coming along too- beautiful!

It’s beautiful! I think it looks like the roses are climbing across some sort of fence. Am I right?

Hi Heidi. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. And yes that’s a fence behind the roses. A cookie and a big hug for you 😀
