I’ve really spoiled my viewers with this video! With almost three hours of detailed instruction, you will learn MANY of my secrets. My goal as your instructor is to make you feel comfortable doing challenging projects. My Peony painting is definitely worth the effort. You will first learn to draw and shade the flower and it’s petals, then mix your colors and apply to the background, leaves and petals. And finally, paint the pollen center. I’m the end, you’ll have a gorgeous masterpiece and the skills to master your next painting.
