The Rose, The Rose, The Rose,... is by far our favorite lesson. However, this is not our easiest lesson. The biggest problem we have is that everyone wants to learn the rose first! This is just not practical. I know, Donna makes it look so easy. That’s why we strongly recommend a few of our earlier skill builders before completing this one. They may not appear to have a lot in common with the rose, however you will be learning basic brush control and handling. This is very important and will make this lesson much easier to complete.“Then you too can do it just like Donna.”This is another important building block that will be key to building your foundation with OneStroke painting. It will teach you not only The Rose but the important Heart shape leaf that goes with the rose. This leaf is the basis for many of the leaves that we use in OneStroke painting. And once learned correctly can be a joy to paint. So lets get started ...It is recommended that you complete Skill Builders SB001 & SB002. This will show you how to load your brushes, paint rosebuds and simple OneStroke leaves that are part of this lesson.. Remember, building the proper foundation will make all the other skills much easier to accomplish. Create GREAT habits that will become second nature.”We know that this skill may seem a little difficult and could easily be discouraging to a new or experienced painter.
