21 BLACK-AND-WHITE DRAWINGS OF ROSES What painter or colourist has not stood in awe before the majestic, and yet so fragile, beauty of flowers? Through this first volume of the colouring collection ?Skin-Deep Blossom?, I invite you to take up your watercolour pencils and explore the subtleties of hue, so as to breathe life into the radiance of those we call the ?queens of flowers?. Roses, silent messengers of deep emotion, bear within them a secret language: the passionate red of the Baccara, for instance, murmurs the echo of ardent love, while the Polyanthas, blooming in poetic clusters, reveal the generosity and joy hidden within the profusion of their petals.
