Another session in the studio today with the unfinished rose painting and I am pleased with how the rose painting is progressing.
I may no look much to the observer yet but I can see the shapes, tones and colours that make up this arrangement of roses, progressing and another few days will see it closer to completion.

I am still working on the third stage of the painting; refining.

The final stage is the detailing when the buds, stems and more leaves with be developed giving the work a more three dimensional look and greatly improving the composition.
