another painting with reference to a photo of a rose.

 took a long time completing this picture. it is still a little out of proportion. adding blue and green to darken the tones as shadows is nothing new and i have slowly get use to it. however, i have yet to get hole of the skills. as can be seen in the painting, brushes are not blended properly, and some parts look really weird, especially for the shadowed area in the middle of the rose. i think i should not have used such concentrated paints on watercolour paper.

p.s(black background is not the original version. it is replace using photoshop.
