Aquarelle - "Grainy Rose"

This is the second time that I painted this rose. In my first painting, Jay and mom told me that my rose was too light for my background. Instead of trying to fix it, I repainted the whole thing. This time, I started by drafting the rose, then painted the background before I actually painted the roses. I tried mixing my purple lake with permanent rose and my roses turned out to be as grainy as my background. I like it though. The grainy effect is uniquely different from my previous paintings. :)
