Another Challenge

"Valentine Rose"
5" by 6" Pastel on Matboard

I decided to take the next challenge at Daily Paintworks. It was issued from the artist Qiang Huang (pronounced Chong Wong), who is an absolute master at painting roses. Click HERE to see all the entries. The challenge was to paint a single red rose. Sounds easy, right? Not so much. Try it if you don't believe me. I think roses are terribly difficult, especially in pastel. Reds are always tricky, and this was no exception. I love that these challenges really push me as an artist. I'll probably do more of them.

Brittany, yours is one of my favorite entries on the DP Challenge. Beautiful reds, and I like the vantage point. Bravo!
