Steps:

  1. Prepare your colors on your palette. Make sure they’re adjacent to each other for easier blending and brush loading.
  2. Load your colors on your brush and blend them until you get a gradient effect.
  3. Hold your brush perpendicular to the surface so you can smoothly apply your colors in one stroke.
  4. Apply gentle pressure and wiggle your brush slowly as you paint so you achieve a nice layered effect. Make sure you start painting the outer layer of the petals first.
  5. Paint the second layer of petals with careful wiggly strokes.
  6. For the rose bud, start by painting an inverted “U” and then create a “U” stroke on top of it.
  7. Repeat these steps until you complete your first rose artwork using the one stroke technique.

Tip: Dip your brush into the water every once in a while to keep your paint from drying up. 

Bonus: Here’s a downloadable practice sheetso you can work on your strokes offline. Enjoy!
