About This Title

Hello, my dear Patrons!

I’m happy to share a little tutorial on painting rosehips with you!

I spotted this beautiful rosehip bush in my neighborhood and couldn’t help taking a thousand photos of it for painting references. And finally, I had a chance to sit down and paint these lovely berries!

I’ve attached my reference photos, so feel free to use them for your own paintings, too.

This is a simple sketchbook exercise rather than a fully composed painting. I mainly wanted to practice painting the berries and explore their colors, without worrying too much about creating a finished piece. But who knows — maybe I’ll come back to this subject later and create a more finished painting with leaves as well!

I haven’t prepared a copy of my sketch for you this time because I’d love for you to practice sketching, too. Learning how to observe a plant and build up its structure is an important skill, and it’s just as valuable as practicing watercolor techniques!

 Materials I used

Paper: Hahnemühle sketchbook, 100% cotton cold-pressed paper

Watercolors:

Deep Sap Green — Daniel Smith

Green Earth — Schmincke

Cascade Green — Daniel Smith

Carmine — Daniel Smith

Organic Vermilion — Daniel Smith

Hansa Yellow Deep — Daniel Smith

Lavender / King's Royal Blue by DS

I hope you enjoy this short and simple tutorial! And if you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments. I’d love to hear from you!
