Beginner-friendly coral charm peony | Watercolor tutorial

In this fun beginner-friendly watercolor painting guide, I'll walk you through the step-by-step process of painting a stunning coral charm peony.

In this video, I'll show you how to sketch the delicate curves of the coral charm peony and block off the center using masking fluid. Together, we'll mix light washes of pink and yellow, capturing the essence of this captivating flower. As we progress, I'll share tips on layering colors, creating depth and texture, and revealing the vibrant center.
