Finding reference of roses for your art.

in roses •  7 years ago 

If you're an artist you'll know that finding good reference is golden when you're looking for inspiration or just realistic images to base your art off.

Roses are a common subject matter, especially in tattooing.
Sure you can search on Google but after awhile the results can be boring, you can hit the outdoors and take your own reference imagery and take your own photos of roses but sometimes who has the time, right?
If you've annoyed street florists by taking pictures of the flowers they're selling without buying, you're not alone.

So if you don't have your have your own personal library of roses on hand try the Instragram page @roseref, a good source of all different types of roses from different angles. I've used it a bunch (pardon the pun) and even if you're not looking for a direct copy it's useful for seeing different varieties of roses and different angles.
