Loose Watercolor Peony Tutorial

Time to remake my old Loose Watercolor Peony tutorial! This beginner-friendly watercolor tutorial was originally made in 2018, but has been in need of an update with more details and a better video all around. I hope you enjoy it!

    Oh I’m so glad the old video inspired you and you weren’t too frustrated by the poor video quality, hah! Is there a specific flower that you would like to see done in this loose style? If this is your preferred painting technique, I’d love to share what you actually want to see! You can suggest colors too :)

    @@katrinacrouch what I like in your style? Sense of colour and ease. There are so many tutorials with bright unmatching colours from others on youtube, but rerly there somebody whos palette is thought thru and who is not afraid to mix 2-3 colours . Personally I like muted pastel colours which is mostly used in wedding stationary, but to find such tutorial videos is hard. I like how you mixed peony with lemon- colour scheme was so elegant and complimentarý. Any flower will do- lilacs, white magnolia, Apple blossom, primrose, rose, greens...greens expecialy in cascade green by DS. Woud love to paint fruit plus flower wreath .
