ROSE-TINTED ART

I bought this shade a few weeks ago for my new 'pink' series but it wasn't until today that I noticed this Rose colour actually smells of roses! So as I paint I get this wonderful subtle perfume wafting around - lovely!

Apparently the manufacturer (in this case W&N) uses real not synthetic Madder Root, so I guess that explains the smell - further reading here:
