Top Five Tips to Paint a Watercolour Peony
Flowers and Foliage episode 55: Top Five Tips to Paint a Watercolour Peony

Peony season will soon be upon us so let's get ahead of the game. Starting with my top five tips, I have broken down how to paint a 3/4 angle open flower. We will be doing a full peony project soon but this is the perfect place to start!

The subject of this tutorial was suggested by one of my Patreons. My patreons can choose the subject matter of 4 of my Youtube tutorials each month!

If you've loved learning with me on Youtube and want to enjoy a more interactive and tailored watercolour experience, here is a very special sneak peek at a few of the watercolour tutorials you can expect to find if you sign up for the Sweet Pea or Cherry Blossom tiers. https://bit.ly/3r0Ooxf
