Welcome to Paint Party Friday! I did a detailed pencil sketch of this rose on textured beige cardstock (6" x 6"). My intention was to paint it in acrylic, in shades of pink. I was a bit nervous to start in on the original and my daughter suggested I copy it (using the printer) onto a sheet of white cardstock and work with that one. So I've made a fabulous, enlarged copy as pictured below. Now I don't have to be afraid of ruining the original sketch for now.

That is a gorgeous sketch! I look forward to seeing it after you paint it in acrylics. Blessings!
Beautiful sketch. Can't wait to see it painted.
That sketch is gorgeous. I'm sure the enlarged version will look great too. Don't forget to share it!
lovely sketch Christine-and a great idea to try things out on a copy. I do that sometimes:) Happy PPF!
That is a great sketch, Christine!
Such a pretty rose
Wow, Christine, what a gorgeous sketch! Anyone who has tried to draw a rose will appreciate all the work that goes into that effort. Very nice job.
Very beautiful sketch and great idea to copy it to explore what you want to do ~ have fun ~
Wishing you a Happy Weekend ~ ^_^
It was not an easy thing Faye, you do know.
What a great idea! Hooray for daughters!
nice art
Lovely sketch. Your daughter's idea is good. I do that too sometimes. Happy PPF. Best, Indira
Such a lovely rose. I wish you a wonderful time painting it!
Lovely rose.
Good for your daughter. Great suggestion. I would be terrified to touch that delicate sketch. It is lovely.
Christine that rose is simply gorgeous.
The rose drawing is beautiful! I love it. I transfer my sketches as well once I have them the way I want them (but I print and then trace over carbon paper to the canvas or panel or whatnot).
What a good suggestion from your daughter.
It is a very nice sketch.
All the best Jan
Lovely sketch and a smart way to avoid ruining. I do this all the time with my drawings. I find it so hard to draw large enough, so I use my copy machine to enlarge my works.
