3. To make the roses pick a spot on the heart and paint a small group of curved dashes. Next, clean your brush, dab off excess water, and blend some of the edges out to soften it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. To make the rose fuller just keep painting and blending outwards. Make sure to have darker spots and lighter blended spots to create depth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make roses along the rest of the heart wherever you’d like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. To make the leaves we are going to be using the same technique as the roses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paint little dashes with more of a point at the ends for a leaf shape. Blend parts out with a clean damp brush. You can create a light green colour by adding more water to the paint. Think of the water as “white” paint. So more water equals lighter, transparent colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layer a darker green on top. Keep going all around the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can add leaves in between roses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you’ve painted all around, erase any pencil lines and you’re done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
