Romantic Roses
Create dreamy rose paintings in acrylic paint using a palette knife.
Is this course for you?
Yes, if you want to learn secrets to creating dreamy rose paintings filled with light, color and romantic energy.
A lifelong artist and lover of floral gardens, I am probably best known for my ethereal rose paintings. Before COVID hit, I was regularly tutoring artists who wanted to learn my techniques. Now, I've created a self-paced course to bring my knowledge and expertise to you in a way that allows you to refer back to again and again, and enjoy forever.
In my course you will find three full-length demos in which I created rose paintings from start to finish. You will learn what colors I prefer, which tools are best to achieve the results you are looking for, and how I create paintings full of atmosphere with roses that feel integrated into the backgrounds and foregrounds. Each of the three paintings is created in a slightly different style, so you will learn new things from each one. I've also included a bonus tutorial with both video and downloadable PDF that will show you step-by-step how to create a single white rose. This is an acrylic paint course. It is recommended for Level 2 and up. Beginners will benefit from my course "Loosen Up and Find Joy in Your Art" before taking this course.
The dreamiest roses...
created by YOU.
I'll teach you my techniques using paint brushes, palette knives and water soluble wax pastels...there is even a video about adding metallic gold paint for extra shimmer.
Watch me create magical, decorative rose gardens every step of the way.
Each video shows an overhead shot of me painting. You'll be able to watch and learn as I show you my process from start to finish using acrylic paints and water soluble wax pastels.
In this photo I am using a water soluble wax pastel to add marks and details to the painting.

Read MoreAfter following Kathleen for a while, I was so eager to learn how she creates such beautiful rose paintings. I have now created several paintings from this course, and also used what I learned to make some handmade cards and had 3 sets ordered by friends! I liked the course format, broken down into lessons and steps with great teaching by Kathleen. You can also see her palette which helps. It was fun to take and the additional Facebook group with excellent personal help and advice from Kathleen, and the opportunity to see creations by other members really makes it special! I am yet to complete the final lesson/painting but am looking forward to doing so. Really recommend this course!
