La Fe — Thai master of the watercolor rose — teaches how to render the most difficult of flowers clean, light and alive, until the petals seem to breathe and move.
"Get the sensation of smell — and of movement."
The rose is one of the hardest flowers to paint. Its structure is complex, its petals delicate, and most attempts end up either stiff or muddy. La Fe paints roses clean and easy — complex forms that read as soft, light and full of life.
This course is for painters who already have some watercolor practice and want to understand not just how to copy a rose, but how to capture its softness, its glow, and its sense of movement. You'll learn how to let each color do its own work, how to imagine the form before you paint it, and how to keep the whole thing feeling alive.
A single-colored rose and a two-colored rose, each built from blank paper to a finished, living flower.
Nearly two hours per lesson, filmed close and clear. Every wash, every edge, every decision, explained step by step.

"You'll learn to let each color do its own work."

The foundations of the technique. You'll learn how to use color so that each hue does its own work — building a clean, luminous rose without muddying the petals.

The master takes the difficult work of a two-colored rose and makes it look effortless. You'll grasp the essence of the rose — its form, its color, and the sensuality of the most symbolic of flowers.

Sattha Homsawat, known as La Fe, was born in 1969 and studied at the Faculty of Painting and Sculpture of Silpakorn University in Thailand. He is best known as the author of extraordinary roses in watercolor.
His focus on the subject began with a love story. When he met his future wife, he gave her a painting of a beautiful white rose. She loved it so much that it inspired him to study and observe every nuance of the world of roses — and he has been painting them ever since.
The video was very well done. What I learned most: I need to slow down.
I never imagined that just three flowers could convey such beauty. You feel the flower glowing from the inside. I'll try to paint others this way.
Explanations were clear and the picture is large — that matters. I'm not a professional, and I was delighted. You've picked your masters perfectly.
A difficult lesson for my level, but so useful — a real assessment of my own abilities, and my first steps toward the most difficult flower of all.
What could be improved? In my opinion, everything is perfect. What's new for me: preparing the paper, and the techniques themselves.
Light, clear, alive — I want to learn to paint roses the way La Fe does. This is where I start.
