Coloring Without Boundaries Shading a Rose

I love to shade Roses and this is the perfect stamp to use 

Breena Melancholy Moppet at Lacy Sunshine Stamps
Start by lying down your lightest color RV11

 

Start shading! Roses are never the same color all the way through

The center is always darker Start adding darker colors R37, R27 Try to color a small section at a time

The colors blend better when they are still wet,

 

Add darker color under the folds of the rose

A rose is darker at the base and gets lighter at the ends

 Now start coloring the outer petals one at a time because they are bigger and you need to leave more of the light color

Leave your lighter color where you want the petal to cup

 See, that petal looks like it is cupping

 I want the last petal to look like it is cupping downward so leave the light color where you want it to fold down

 See how it looks like it folds down

I hope you try shading a rose and Always FOLLOW YOUR ARTIST

Here is my color recipe

I enhanced her skin with prisma and the polka dots are a molotow marker
