From sketch to painting - 6 different peonies
Welcome to my class on how to paint the peony in the botanical style!
I'll teach you overall principles and techniques so that you can apply them to other subjects of your own.
I'll demonstrate exactly how I sketch my peonies. Soon, you'll be able to sketch any peony that you desire!
I'll take you step-by-step to paint three large peonies and three smaller buds. And we'll be using a variety of styles to accomplish this: wet-on-dry, wet-on-wet, glazing, negative painting, layering, and more.
We'll use photo references for all but one of the peonies because I want you to have the creative freedom to paint how you want to paint!
Make sure to download my list of supplies in the class downloads. In addition, if you want to use my line drawing sketches for the class, you can find them in the downloads, too.
So grab your supplies, and let's paint together!

I’m Audrey, owner of and creative behind Audrey Ra Design (formerly Things Unseen Designs). I believe that everyone is creative. My mission is to spark the creativity in all of us.I come from a family with creative roots. Both of my paternal grandparents were painters, my grandmother specifically with watercolors. My parents have a fondness for music and the arts....
So clearly explained how to draw
I'm sure you know best, given your background, but to me, it would have been a good starting point to look at a photo of a peony and its basic structure. But truly, I'm sure you've tried both and there is a reason you do it in this order! It *was* fun to sketch right away <3
This course is perfect for everyone who already has some experience with watercolors, but needs to learn about drawing peonies. The instructor explains everything very clear and understandable. I really enjoyed this course.
Yes
Very easy tit follow, well paced, very got information, enjoying it
Really helpful and very clear. Enjoyed the class immensely.
ho imparato molto e ho trovato il corso ottimo
It is something new for me. I realized that when I traced the flower, I do not need to be exact, just to draw the flower with a good proportion. Yes, I like it and gave me a better vision to draw and trace the flower.
I have enjoyed painting the flowers in the botanical style without so much perfection as some classes. It has loosened me up as an artist. Thank you
