    Thanks! Peonies are my favourite flower so I'm glad I found this beginner tutorial. I have a beautiful peony in my garden that starts a brighter pink then somehow changes to a coral and fades to a peachy colour. I think it's called sunset.

You also mentioned around 3 minutes in that you might add another layer of color later on... that's what I'd like to learn please. I would love to learn how to layer! Edit... Thank You for the layering... I LOVE the end piece and the composition is amazing! Please keep sharing ...
