Pink Rose in Gouache

This is my first try using Gouache for a close-up of a rose. I have done several roses before, all in oil.
So it's trial and error. I am satisfied with the outcome, although there is much room for improvement.
I found the blending etc a bit difficult, and of course with water paints drying in seconds it takes a bit getting used to when you are used to oils. But still... not bad. I love the gouache colours, I think it's striking and colourful, enough to cheer up any bad day!
