Paint a rose still life. Arrange roses with other objects such as wine glasses, figurines, fruit and fabric. With paint, sketch out the composition on your canvas. Paint the main tonal colors in your painting, followed by shadows using complementary colors and highlights using lighter tones.
Paint an abstracted rose painting by zooming into the rose. Sketch out rose petal shapes with a paintbrush and continue to paint the main tonal colors. Add shadows and highlights as needed. Using thick paint strokes are best for this composition.
Create beautiful photography with roses. Take pictures of roses outside or inside as still lifes. Portraits done with roses and interesting lighting can be quite dramatic. Photography can be done in color or black and white. Black and white photos can be brought into a digital photo-editing program and color can be added to the rose in spots.
Use a flower press and create rose art that can last forever. Press and dry the rose. The pressed rose can now be used in resin projects, paper crafts or scrapbooking. The rose can be glued onto nice paper and framed for instant rose art.
