Pink peonies and yellow coreopsis from my garden make a gorgeous bouquet! Below are the step-by-step pictures of "Peonies and Coreopsis". Is this the way I paint watercolors?  Not always.  I vary my approach depending on the subject matter; I sometimes paint the background first.  I don't think one suit fits all.


I started laying down the first layer.

Developing more flowers.



The bouquet is almost finished.

At this point, I decided to add another layer of glaze to the background.
