I painted a rose leaf for you today ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil outlined with an acrylic marker.

A rose leaf painting is such a wonderful idea. Most of the time there are the blooms only. But the leafs are interesting too in my opinion.
Have a fine weekend. Greetings by Heidrun ❤️

Nice. My rose leaves are starting to pop back out. It's great when "spring" happens, isn't it? Have a lovely Sunday. hugs-Erika

Your art is pretty
Rose leaf drawing was often done in middle classes and I would find it easy

The rose leaf promises that the rose is not far behind!

...nothing is sweeter than a rose.

Art is seeing the beauty in the "mundane" things - like the leaf instead of the rose.

We have new leaves on one of our roses - they are a beautiful red!

I had to go outside to look at my rose leaves after I saw your painting. I couldn't have even told you what they looked like. I guess we spend all of our time eye balling the rose itself. Very nice painting and an eye opener for sure. Now I will be looking at the leaves of all of my flowers :)

I love how you continue to draw and paint. I haven't picked up my paint brush in such a long time. You might inspire me.
