The dog rose
THE DOG ROSE.
I HAVE reserved this for the last Plate, not particularly on account
of its difficulty, but because the number of leaves, buds, and
minute parts, render it a longer task, and require some pains to
sketch accurately.
This flower affords an excellent lesson in the art of softening:
and I can assure the student, when this is well attained, there is
scarcely any difficulty which practice alone will not overcome.
I cannot suppose that you can be at any loss in mixing the various
tints, &c. after what has been said, especially as in my Treatise
on Flower Painting such ample directions have been given.
