Peonies Step-By-Step

Thank you for joining me, I can't wait to see what you create! Here is a breakdown of how I created this design:

1. Using your larger brush, paint the leaves! Do not worry if you don't catch them all, we can always paint them later. Save the little curly q's for later.
2. While those dry, paint your vase! If you're looking for design ideas, look up your favorite vase or check out my Pinterest board! 
3. Using your larger brush, paint a color wash over the flowers, taking care not to touch wet paint to wet paint. Use a lot of water and a teeny bit of paint so it's nice and light!
4. Using your smallest brush and very light pressure, paint light dashes for the curly q's. Test on your scratch paper first! 
5. Using your smallest brush, trace the squiggly lines on the petals. Use a lot of paint, and a teeny bit of water. More concentrated = darker.
6. Using your larger brush and water, dab over the squiggly lines and give them a light massage to help them blend.
