STEP BY STEP OF A ROSE

Strokes:
Stroke 1 is made by pulling your brush straight towards you.
Stroke 2 is made as if you were going to write the letter 'C' but in this case I only do half of the letter 'C'.
Stroke 3 is a comma - pull the brush straight towards you and flick the end as you would a comma.
Stroke 4 is used for the base of a leaf. It is a series of Stroke 2 making the letter 'C' with what I call a diamond stroke on the end.
Stroke 5 is shaped like a diamond. For this stroke hold the brush on the side and pull towards you.
