![Watercolor Peony Tutorial | Wet-on-Wet Magic with My Favorite Brushes
In this tutorial, I’m painting one of my all-time favorite flowers—a soft, dreamy peony—using mostly wet-on-wet watercolor techniques. This method gives such beautiful flow and natural blending, and its perfect for capturing the delicate, layered petals of a peony.
Im also using my ride-or-die brushes for this kind of work: the Princeton 4050 series rounds. These brushes hold water like a dream, give great control, and make this kind of loose floral painting so much more fun.
Whether youre just getting started with florals or you want to loosen up your painting style, this one’s for you. Let’s paint something soft, flowy, and full of color together 💕
