You are amazing! I have started painting again after over 20years. You have given me such a great gift. After my mom died I dried up and I literally could not sit in quiet. I had to have some sort of noice in my ear. I cold not let my mind quiet. I had to constantly be bombarded by noise. After I started painting again in large part due to your videos and classes, I realize that I was sitting in quiet. Thank you for that gift. ❤
Valuable education here. Appreciate the more indepth descriptions of how you see the value on your scale; how to get the right contrast in the 'throat' and bowl of the rose; how to place the petals; sheering off the color; how to correct each part if it goes wrong. So true on the white out too. lol THANK YOU SO MUCH!
hi mr jansen please do not listen to anyone if they say shorter videos or dont talk so much, its ridiculous and rude. your roses are challenging but the most beautiful on youtube. thank you.
Thanks for your wonderful series on how to paint a rose. I'm from India, and I'm trying to follow each of your 30 roses in 30 days videos. The lessons are absolutely delightful and enriching. I never dreamt that I'd be able to get such great results. I have shared my work on Facebook and Instagram, and adding your name in the credits. Thank you so much for your free lessons. They are worth their value in gold!
David, I'm only 11 minutes in and you've 'seen' all the things that I do! So glad to have found this video. I painted a rose this morning and was getting somewhere when boom I lost it as I didn't have a grasp of my value scale and the light paint took over and I lost the shadows! Ive decided to study more of your videos this afternoon and try again tomorrow! Thank you, thank you
Hi Anne, Welcome to painting roses. Yes we all have that happen to us, but you know why which is great. Got to keep that center and most important bowl shadow. Thanks so much.
David Jansen it’s made such a difference to know how to use the grey scale. I really didn’t get that before ! I will use your kind download in my painting session tomorrow!
David THIS was very helpful! I will probably watch it over and over again. I have a lot of trouble with understanding about tones, but this made perfect sense. Thank you!
I cannot thank you enough. I’m now able to paint roses. Also all of your other tutorials are wonderful. Could you do a tutorial of the painting of the wonderful girl. I’ll be happy to pay you for it. Judy
I paint one girl in the S201 color theory online class and 2 more in the S202 Art of Seeing online class. I don't have any lesson on portraits on youtube yet.
This video is really great to explain value about painting beautiful roses! White is very dangerous color, I know. How to keep roundness of rose using warm and cool colors changing value is one of the key! I must always to think what the rose needs now.Thank you so much for your sharing this video. I recommend this video for all of my friends who want to paint beautiful roses!
what a joy to see another rose painting you are the master ive still never done your style.i am doing a mix of one stroke and zhostovo ,im not a master but i do my best to make pretty art every day .thank you david .
Thank you so much for these great tips!! As a new rose painter I am one of the 95% that needed this instruction. The information you share is helping me to paint a beautiful "rose". I will watch this video many times and practice, practice. Thank you.
Wow! Now I understand why my roses never turned out! White is not my friend! You have such knowledge that I keep trying to knock into my head! The highest value white becomes smaller. Boy this lesson should be number 1. Thank you, Dave you are so helpful. Every day I watch your videos and today’s was the most important! God bless you, sir.
Thank you am just a beginner and you are helping so much from the beginning, I am easily confused but it is getting clearer. I watch for hrs. everyday.
Sounds like you need a teacher to help you. When you get frustrated and complain I can not help you. I think it is best you find a teacher in your area to help you learn. The best is one who uses the same paint and brushes as you.
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, knowledge, patience and craft. It's fabulous- I DID need that . Makes so much sense. Love watching and listening to you and painting with you! Greetings from Bavaria. I love that you have a book on painted Bauernmoebel on your shelf!
You are so welcome Lotte. I have dozens of books on Bauernmoebel styles. I got my first one 40 years ago. Painted and taught in around the world for 20 years. Love it painted on furniture. 😀
Sorry David, I think your a beautiful artist. I wasn't complaining about you . I wasn't saying that you didn't help me . I applaud you for doing what you do. I admire you. Sorry , sorry its me, I am a floral design specialist so I just think I should be able to pick it up because I know flowers. Painting and designing seems to be totally different . Please forgive me if you thought I was complaining about your tutorials. It is quite the opposite I will keep trying and keep watching until I get it. I love what you do and thank you for y our comment .
This was good. I am a painter. But I have always wanted to paint l roses as you do. I am ready to test what I'm learning. I got you paints and will let you know how I do. Next the 30 day roses. Ya hoo, thank you for such good teaching and all you do. God bless you
I am definitely guilty of ignoring my tones. I think I just get so excited to start putting on petals. I also love the golden retriever in the background. I started working on some animal portraits, specifically a black mixed puppy. And I am disliking the background. Love you soft edges that fade into the background. Thank you for all your instruction!
Thanks Megan. Look up John Howard Sanden. He is a master portrait painter and I really like how he does the backgrounds. Might give you some good ideas for animals. 😃
This is helpful for me- on repeat! My roses got bigger and bigger- and worse and much worse, I grew discouraged- I have decided it’s going to take me a lot of practice! Thanks!
This video really hit home for me. I kept adding more and more white because it seemed like the white would disappear when it dried--perhaps too much extender! In the process, I would have to go back and re-establish values between the petals which of course meant more overworked areas. So thank you Dave for this informative and very valuable video.
Fascinating! This is so important for me. I've lost all my roses with white & never understood why :( Thank you so much for your wonderful teaching. I'm a newbie to the value scale too.
Thank you David! I am a relatively new painter. I must say that you do a brilliant job of explaining color theory. I am just gathering the basics right now, but I can see how much I have to learn. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I will be watching this again and again.
Thank you for your teaching..... as I'm a beginner flower painter this is extremely helpful to understanding the foundations of flowers and colour. thank you
Thank you so much for this lesson! GREAT information! Can't wait to apply this knowledge. You're a great teacher. I also have a problem positioning my pedals. Not always sure which way to curve or lean them. I'll look at more and more of your videos. Thank you again!
Yes. Leslie! It does go off. Now word of warning, painting with too much white is a habit. Even though it made perfect sense to me years ago, it took a little time to break the habit and start using more darks. You got this!
Wow David...this is exactly what I needed to hear and now understand why a white rose I painted a month ago didn’t look right to me. You are a fantastic art instructor giving so much information and detail. 💕🌹
I was getting ready to give up and throw 40 paint brushes away. Why? Because I could NOT "get it" until this video. I'm in love with the painting "30 roses in 30 days". I so can do this. Thank you for your patience. PRESERVE YOUR SHADOWS. LAW OF DISPROPORTION. Who knew? I'm so happy.
Yes those shadows are really what makes the rose. Have to preserve them. Take a look at my new Chaffinch video. I make them look like roses with the center bowl shadow. It is amazing how much power it has. 😀
I've been watching and practicing painting from your videos. Done about 5. Thank you very much for all your patient teaching and the expertise you share online for untrained artists like me. I've learned to mix colours and how to use tones too. People like you make a world of difference! God bless.
Thank you so much 😀 Please consider joining our group on MeWe.com. It is called Heritage Acrylic Artists. We share photos and help each other. Lots of beginners and teacher on there who help your learning.
Thanks so much for this very enlightening video and for explaining the Law of Disproportionate Color. I have a much better understanding now. You're an awesome instructor!!!
Most informative video!! I’m sure learning with every one I watch. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us so freely! It is much appreciated. I’m motivated to keep trying until I master it too.
I will try fixing my first roses this way, or better just start over new. Thank you for this helpful quick fix! And yes please post more videos for beginners. I absolutely love your work.
HI Uyen, You can fix some, but leave some with the problems. That way you will always be able to "see" what the trouble is. I learn by studying my paintings that have troubles, not by studying the correct ones. Hope you understand. Thank you so much 😀
Very interesting David a lot of information about colour and values. I have a lot to learn. Many thanks. As a golden retriever owner, now on my 6th golden, my eye had to wonder up now and again to the lovely painting to your right. Beautiful.
Wow, David so much in formation in a short video. You really make clear what we are doing wrong. I’ll need to burn in my brain 😂 great video and as always thank you so much for sharing 😊
Excellent step by step. I was frustrated with the 30 Days. However, with this explanation I will go back and try them again. Your summary where you showed the whites versus the mid=tone colors turned on a light bulb. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much Pamela. There will still be some habits but with videos like this we can all see what some trouble areas are and work to correct them.
Thank you so much for your wonderful rose painting videos. It looks that you solved my problems in this video. I need to watch it hundreds of times seriously. I hope I can draw a rose as you do !!! You are a wonderful artist. Appreciate!
Justo ahora pinto rosas en mural de una virgen. Aunque la escala no es la misma, la lección me ha servido de mucho. Gracias, por tan agradable y bello vídeo. 🌹🌹🌹
Yay!!!!! 🌹 so glad to see this video... going to make a pot of tea, get my pen and notebook and enjoy this video! (I have a rose painting that’s been sitting abandoned waiting to be fixed)! Ps. I made a value scale, I’d never used one before I saw you using it. I’ll try to stop climbing the value scale by more than two at the time.
Ah ha...after all these years, I still catch myself getting into too much of that white at times. At least now I can "see" my mistakes (or learning opportunities). This is an excellent lesson for everyone. Thank you. I'm sharing this with all my students. Great visual explanation of our biggest enemy as rose painters - WHITE! LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!
I haven't watched this yet but I must tell you I have done one decent rose since I last talked to you at last OMG I think I can see light shanks my friend for your encouragement
Hi David, greetings from Australia. I am very much new at painting. Thank you for being so clear. I tried to paint your roses with the green background and couldn’t get the petals right at all. The white acrylic kept failing. Maybe it’s the paint I am using. I failed miserably. I dropped it and put a hole in it so that was the end of that painting. Like you say, I need to watch over and over again. it’s about colour and depth. But my biggest problem was getting the white petal to stand out. I’ll keep watching!
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. I have started painting during quarantine and learned so much from your videos! Thank you for taking the time to share your techniques with us! I am beyond grateful for everything you thought me! One of the issues i have is how to hold and position the brush, i can never get the same result as you and my petals don’t look as defined but I’ll definitely keep trying!
Absolutely, you pegged me. I’ve been working on a blue rose for 2 weeks and it looks worse every time I work on it. I have a lot of problems with flowers in general
You are amazing! I have started painting again after over 20years. You have given me such a great gift. After my mom died I dried up and I literally could not sit in quiet. I had to have some sort of noice in my ear. I cold not let my mind quiet. I had to constantly be bombarded by noise. After I started painting again in large part due to your videos and classes, I realize that I was sitting in quiet. Thank you for that gift. ❤
Valuable education here. Appreciate the more indepth descriptions of how you see the value on your scale; how to get the right contrast in the 'throat' and bowl of the rose; how to place the petals; sheering off the color; how to correct each part if it goes wrong. So true on the white out too. lol
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
My pleasure. Thank you so much 😀
hi mr jansen please do not listen to anyone if they say shorter videos or dont talk so much, its ridiculous and rude. your roses are challenging but the most beautiful on youtube. thank you.
Thanks for your wonderful series on how to paint a rose. I'm from India, and I'm trying to follow each of your 30 roses in 30 days videos. The lessons are absolutely delightful and enriching.

They are worth their value in gold!
My pleasure Ruma, thank you! 😊
I just found you! Thank you for this teaching. I am a porcelain painter who really benefited from this lesson.
You are so welcome!
I'm addicted to these roses
They take time to learn, but once you understand them, they are so fun to paint! Thank you so much! 😃
David, I'm only 11 minutes in and you've 'seen' all the things that I do! So glad to have found this video.

Sounds like you need a teacher to help you. When you get frustrated and complain I can not help you. I think it is best you find a teacher in your area to help you learn. The best is one who uses the same paint and brushes as you.
Wow! At last I know my problem. Now it’s happy painting - I hope!
I hope so too! Thank you so much 😀

Sorry David, I think your a beautiful artist. I wasn't complaining about you . I wasn't saying that you didn't help me . I applaud you for doing what you do. I admire you.

You are a fantastic teacher!
Thank you!
Thank you! 😃
OMG, this is totally my mistake!!!😅 Thank you for the lesson! 👍
You're welcome!
You are a wonderful teacher. Thanks for sharing your exceptional talent and advice and correction and instructions ❤
Thank you so much for your wonderful rose painting videos. I really appreciate it...
Glad you like them! 😀
Bless you for these videos on how to make corrections!!
Loving watching you paint!
Maybe I’ll get brave and try it soon!
You can do it! Just go for it. Only a little paint and a board! 😊
I am definitely guilty of ignoring my tones. I think I just get so excited to start putting on petals. I also love the golden retriever in the background. I started working on some animal portraits, specifically a black mixed puppy. And I am disliking the background. Love you soft edges that fade into the background. Thank you for all your instruction!
Thanks Megan. Look up John Howard Sanden. He is a master portrait painter and I really like how he does the backgrounds. Might give you some good ideas for animals. 😃

And to me
Thank you Linda. 😃
This is helpful for me- on repeat! My roses got bigger and bigger- and worse and much worse, I grew discouraged- I have decided it’s going to take me a lot of practice! Thanks!
You are my FAVORITE rose artist! Watching you paint makes me happy.
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks for this most valuable lesson.
You're very welcome Mike!
I am excited to see the videos of basic painting strategies. Thank you so much.
Wow I’ve been banging my head against the wall with roses! This was the most helpful video I’ve ever seen! Thank you...thank you, thank you! ❤️
I know that wall very well. 😀 There will still be some habits to break, but at least we can now see them. You got this. Thank you so much 😀
You are a flower !!!
Thank you so much
This video really hit home for me. I kept adding more and more white because it seemed like the white would disappear when it dried--perhaps too much extender! In the process, I would have to go back and re-establish values between the petals which of course meant more overworked areas. So thank you Dave for this informative and very valuable video.
Glad it helped! Thanks so much! 😊
This has been so informative. It’s helped me to understand the importance of the shadows.
Hello Dorothy! Shadows are so important: add depth, ground an object, and more. So glad this video was helpful! 😊
Fascinating! This is so important for me. I've lost all my roses with white & never understood why :( Thank you so much for your wonderful teaching. I'm a newbie to the value scale too.
Glad it was helpful! Value is one of the most important aspects of painting. The scale helps us all know the correct colors. Thank you!
Thank you with all appreciation and respect, sir
Much appreciated 😊
Thank you David! I am a relatively new painter. I must say that you do a brilliant job of explaining color theory. I am just gathering the basics right now, but I can see how much I have to learn. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I will be watching this again and again.

Can't get enough thank you so much!!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank you for your teaching..... as I'm a beginner flower painter this is extremely helpful to understanding the foundations of flowers and colour. thank you
You are so welcome Pat! Stay with it. There will be frustrating times as you learn, but you can do it! 😃
Thank you so much for this lesson! GREAT information! Can't wait to apply this knowledge. You're a great teacher.
I also have a problem positioning my pedals. Not always sure which way to curve or lean them. I'll look at more and more of your videos. Thank you again!
Thank you so much Mary 😊
This was truly an eye opener!! I feel like a light bulb went. off in my head, I GET IT!!! Thank you!
Yes. Leslie! It does go off. Now word of warning, painting with too much white is a habit. Even though it made perfect sense to me years ago, it took a little time to break the habit and start using more darks. You got this!
This is a great Video. I learned all of my mistakes thank you very much I enjoy your videos always
Thank you Bootsie.
Wow David...this is exactly what I needed to hear and now understand why a white rose I painted a month ago didn’t look right to me. You are a fantastic art instructor giving so much information and detail. 💕🌹
Wonderful, glad it helps. Took me many years to figure out I used too much white !😀
I was getting ready to give up and throw 40 paint brushes away. Why? Because I could NOT "get it" until this video. I'm in love with the painting "30 roses in 30 days". I so can do this. Thank you for your patience. PRESERVE YOUR SHADOWS. LAW OF DISPROPORTION. Who knew? I'm so happy.

Glad it was helpful! Thank you! 😀
I will try fixing my first roses this way, or better just start over new. Thank you for this helpful quick fix! And yes please post more videos for beginners. I absolutely love your work.
HI Uyen, You can fix some, but leave some with the problems. That way you will always be able to "see" what the trouble is. I learn by studying my paintings that have troubles, not by studying the correct ones. Hope you understand. Thank you so much 😀
Soooo super helpful! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
This was so very helpful David. Thank you so much for sharing. Would love to see more videos like this!
Thanks Debbie, there is a rose correction playlist that has a lot of videos in them. Look for that playlist. I will be adding more as well.
You are terrific. I learned so muching you. 😊
Awesome! Thank you! 😀
Very interesting David a lot of information about colour and values. I have a lot to learn. Many thanks. As a golden retriever owner, now on my 6th golden, my eye had to wonder up
now and again to the lovely painting to your right. Beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed it, fun painting. I do have one of the retriever paintings on this channel to watch. Thank you so much 😀
Thanks a Million for the explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Now I understand why my roses turn out like one-color blobs. Will keep trying, keeping shadows etc in mind.
You are so welcome Mary! 😊
Love this one
Thanks Amarilis!
Wow, David so much in formation in a short video. You really make clear what we are doing wrong. I’ll need to burn in my brain 😂 great video and as always thank you so much for sharing 😊
Glad it was helpful Sylvia. Thanks so much. See you in the classes.!
Really interesting many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you, thank you for sharing this. Great job!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much! 😃
Thank you David for sharing this lesson, and thank you for your humble way 🌹
Am always learning a lot from you. God bless you always.
You are very welcome Nada. Thank you so much!!!
Excellent step by step. I was frustrated with the 30 Days. However, with this explanation I will go back and try them again. Your summary where you showed the whites versus the mid=tone colors turned on a light bulb. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much Pamela. There will still be some habits but with videos like this we can all see what some trouble areas are and work to correct them.
Thank you so much for your wonderful rose painting videos. It looks that you solved my problems in this video. I need to watch it hundreds of times seriously. I hope I can draw a rose as you do !!! You are a wonderful artist. Appreciate!
You are so welcome Nahid. It takes practice, but if you can see what I am talking about in this video, it will help you. Thank you so much 😀
This is really helpful
Thank you Susie.
Justo ahora pinto rosas en mural de una virgen. Aunque la escala no es la misma, la lección me ha servido de mucho.
Gracias, por tan agradable y bello vídeo.
🌹🌹🌹
Thank you very much.
This was such a valuable lesson, I will need to use the grey scale more. Thanks David for the lesson.
Thanks Lesley. We got this! Grey scale is so very important!!
Lovely. Thankyou
Most welcome 😊
Hi David I just love your roses and I’ve only started from I was isolated Thank you
You are so welcome Minnie. Happy you enjoyed.
Yay!!!!! 🌹 so glad to see this video... going to make a pot of tea, get my pen and notebook and enjoy this video!
(I have a rose painting that’s been sitting abandoned waiting to be fixed)!
Ps. I made a value scale, I’d never used one before I saw you using it. I’ll try to stop climbing the value scale by more than two at the time.
Thanks so much! Very important video to help identify mistakes.
Ah ha...after all these years, I still catch myself getting into too much of that white at times. At least now I can "see" my mistakes (or learning opportunities).
This is an excellent lesson for everyone. Thank you. I'm sharing this with all my students. Great visual explanation of our biggest enemy as rose painters - WHITE!
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!
Thank you so much DeAnn. This will also help all students in our classes I think!
I love this video....it is so helpful... really you are the best painter....I am learning with you video......🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much Anshu😀
Thank you so much for explaining and making it look easy. Your roses are beautiful!
Thanks so much Barb 😊
Thanks David for this lesson. I needed to hear this to help me with my roses.
You are very welcome
Great advice..
Thanks for watching!
This is very helpful David , getting the bowl and keeping it is my struggle.
Most of us Valerie. If we can keep it, it is what truly makes the rose. That is one reason I restate it several times when painting roses.
I haven't watched this yet but I must tell you I have done one decent rose since I last talked to you at last OMG I think I can see light shanks my friend for your encouragement
Thank u so much sir❤️❤️🖌️🖌️
Most welcome
Brilliant, thank you so much. A pity we can’t get these paints and brushes in Britain.
You’re welcome 😊 We sell and ship to Britain all the time from our online stores. There just not in local stores.
Thank you, a very helpful lesson for all levels! ❤️👍🏻
You're very welcome! Thanks so much!
Excellent helpful advice, thank you, Norrie in Bonnie Scotland
Thank you so much Norrie 😀
That was so helpful and answered many questions for me.
Thank you Theresa. Just ask those questions and we will make more videos to help ALL artists! 😃
awesome
Thank you.
You always have such romantic color roses......i 'm crazy about these roses!!!💐they look like a kiss on the cheek of a little child...
Thank you so much 😀
Hi David, greetings from Australia. I am very much new at painting. Thank you for being so clear. I tried to paint your roses with the green background and couldn’t get the petals right at all. The white acrylic kept failing. Maybe it’s the paint I am using. I failed miserably. I dropped it and put a hole in it so that was the end of that painting. Like you say, I need to watch over and over again. it’s about colour and depth. But my biggest problem was getting the white petal to stand out. I’ll keep watching!
Sounds like the paint your using. Also remember the most important color in the rose is the shadow. The shadow makes the light colors look light.
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. I have started painting during quarantine and learned so much from your videos! Thank you for taking the time to share your techniques with us! I am beyond grateful for everything you thought me! One of the issues i have is how to hold and position the brush, i can never get the same result as you and my petals don’t look as defined but I’ll definitely keep trying!
No worries... I have another video coming this week on petals and shaping the rose. That should help you as well. Thank you so much 😀
I took up painting during quarantine as well. I would never have stuck with it without these wonderful artists that keep teaching me..Thanks David!
Absolutely, you pegged me. I’ve been working on a blue rose for 2 weeks and it looks worse every time I work on it. I have a lot of problems with flowers in general
Thank you very much lovely.
You are so welcome 😊
Thank you this made perfect sense to me, am off to print out my value scale!
You're so welcome!
