How I try to stand out from the typical C-curve watercolor rose that every floral artist starts with

Watercolor roses were the first flower I attempted to paint. It was THE flower that was SIGNATURE of watercolor. If you asked any floral watercolor artist about the rose - the first thing that crosses their mind is the C curves. That uniform 'formula' rose.

As easy and 'basic' as it looks in videos - I could never visualise how each of those 'curves' and 'brackets' become a rose. I struggled with this not just around the way it looks but the feeling I feel when I paint what everyone else is painting.

In today's video I will be sharing a few essential topics around changing my own art narrative, setting boundaries around inspiration and learning to preserve your own unique artistic voice without the dilution of social media.

I'd love to hear what your watercolor rose story is like. Share with me in the comments!
