When you don’t know how to paint roses but @stephanbullard wants to see some roses, you friggin figure it out.
I’ve been doing flower studies for a few weeks. Sketches in pencil, pen, oil paint. And I also did a lot of not-flower painting studies. It’s called learning by the indirect method. Look it up. 😂🥀

I can’t wait to see this one.
