Watercolor Flower Tutorial Peony Step 9

Close-up overhead view of a watercolor peony painting on white paper bordered by cream masking tape. The pink peony blossom occupies the upper left-center, with pale translucent petals and darker rose accents. Light-green leaves and a long stem extend diagonally toward the lower right. A person’s right hand enters from the right holding a blue-handled pointed watercolor brush, the damp reddish-brown bristles positioned against the green stem near a branching point as if adding shadow or detail. At the far left, a white mixing surface shows scattered washes and dried puddles of pink, bright green, yellow, tan, and pale blue paint. The scene focuses on the painting process.
