Peony Bud in Watercolour - Part 1
A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.
Here is part 1 of the Peony. In this part we will put down the first washes on the petals and sepals. This is a really fun project and great for painters of any level to have a go at. We will be using lots of wet in wet and you can also practice your lifting technique and blending of two colours.
