Huang Youwei, an artist, demonstrates how to watercolor a yellow rose. When painting, a lot of people tend to concentrate on how an object looks from the outside. In actuality, the internal structure of the thing should receive more attention when painting. Take a look at this flower—we believe its structure resembles that of a cabbage plant.
Method for watercolor painting of a yellow rose
1. Draw a Line Diagram
I don’t sketch branches and leaves since I’m concerned it will seem messy. Therefore, before coloring and leaving behind faint pencil strokes, I gently erased the pencil strokes with an extremely delicate eraser.
2. Begin creating your watercolor floral composition.

To begin painting, select one of the center’s brightest petals. Take note of the petals’ reflections and the white area on the sunny side. It is crucial to preserve this whiteness.
To begin painting, select one of the most vibrant petals in the center. Take note of the petals’ reflections and the white area on the sunny side. It is crucial to preserve this whiteness.
Paint the flower’s center with two darker petals. leaves a slender white border at the petal’s top separating the two petals.
The two outermost petals have very dark hues that blend together, while the petals in the center are quite near to one another. Use Violet, Ultramarine Blue, and Rose Madder to raise the tone while incorporating medium, orange, and lemon yellows. Include a hint of green. The bottom portion of the right petal is warmer and the top section of the left petal is marginally colder.
Flowers can be painted with watercolor in a variety of ways. This technique is simple, easy to learn, and highly powerful. It is also easy to regulate. It is also known as the rolling technique or the partly wet painting approach. Painting doesn’t require you to paint quickly; you can stop whenever you want, and color alignment is what matters most.
3. Begin applying paint to the foliage and branches.

Next, draw the contour of the two little blooms that are concealed under the branches and leaves with a pencil. Carefully place small spikes on the branches as well.
Apply the initial coat of color to the leaves and branches in this stage. Phthalo green (a yellow hue), dark blue, green, light purple, yellow ocher, yellow, and a hint of red make up the leaves. Now is not the time to paint the tiny thorns on the branches; instead, leave a thin white line to represent the leaf’s midrib.
4. Apply a yellow rose backdrop paint.

I’m partial to dark backdrops; this is just my taste. When painting the background, I focus on how the backdrop’s value changes and search for a range of warm and cold hues in the darker background. I really enjoy painting with various tones of dark gray in general. Use Payne’s gray, dark green, dark red, light purple, green, permanent rose, and a small amount of yellow ocher as your primary color choices.
Make sure to leave little thorns on the branches and paint the spaces between the leaves and branches using the same colors as above.
5. Completing Your Yellow Rose Painting’s last details

Make sure the paper is totally dry before attempting to erase the pencil lines on the flower.
Give the blossom buds in the back more detailing. Naturally, the technique and color scheme are the same as when painting the flower above.
Complete each leaf’s last details. No matter how tiny, a leaf must be meticulously drawn with consideration for shape, light, shade, and three-dimensional structure. You can paint while relaxing to the sound of music at this somewhat joyful employment.
