I continue my series of botanical rose paintings with a wild rose watercolor drawing.
I started this with a simple sketch. I always prefer to lightly sketch my roses and only add details with color.
I have chosen more contrast this time and I wanted to make it a bit more simple.
By the end of the painting I felt that the red is not red enough so I added a light pencil layer on top of the watercolor for more saturation.
It took me quite a while to finish this as I had to schedule proper time for painting besides tattoing. It is not an easy task and I make constant efforts to continue to paint despite the long working hours I have to tattoo. Since the 1st of january I started a little experiment on myself that I will reveal in the next post to make you understand the amount of discipline and effort I have to make in order to keep doing what I like in what we call "free time".
I have come to the conclusion that I am not made to be an employee as I love to own my time and do whatever I want when I do not have clients aka painting. I will most likely be my own boss in tattoing in the upcoming future. It is a decision I will stick by , it is just in my nature to not conform to what everybody agrees as being the "normal " norm. Call it stubborn or disobedient, I call it know your worth and decide your own fate. I don't care anymore how many times I have to fail until I reach independence, I look at failures or obstacles as stepping stones for my destiny. Until then I practice gratitude, self discipline and I strive to grow as an individual regardless of my circumstances.
Fine work, wonderful use of color, and great framing of the rose! 😊
That must be some thick paper to be able to handle watercolor. Glad it didn't soak through!

Talent!!! This is really looking very nice...
Becoming your own boss at tattooing is gonna happen since you have the mind for that. You may face challenges and may even fail but as you said, failure are stepping stones for your destiny
Thank you very much🤗 I greatly appreciate your encouraging words. I have managed to look now at failures or misfortunes as gathering experience moments lol. I used to be very harsh on myself for not succeeding in a certain timeframe or for failing at something. My mindset has changed and now I embrace change and challenges as I know that it is the only way to grow.
Have a great day🤗
