Thank you so much! This was probably the best peony tutorial I’ve seen. I’m still having a little trouble but you have made it so much more understandable ❤
Trying to follow along with your excellent tutorial, I used five small pieces of paper…five because each of the previous tries weren’t acceptable. The fifth, though not good, was the best of the five, so I stuck with it. With much more practice I may actually have a decent peony. Thank you for sharing your tips.
Harriet - I've tried to follow a few peony tutorials, but must say that your 5 tips gave me my best result yet! I have a bit of practice to do, but showing the mop brush, the drawn line to anchor, it's all so helpful! Thank you Harriet. You are my favorite wc artist.
Hi I just wanted to thank you for your tutorial on painting a peony. I’ve been struggling with the shape and for the first time after watching your steps, it finally looks like something 😁 I’m a beginner and I was really struggling with this shape. I truly appreciate your tips. I wish I could send you a photo but I don’t think it’s possible on this format.
Hi Harriet! I've been painting "ball-shaped" peonies for 4 years, but never thought to create more shadows and layers for realism. Thank you so very much for your kindness. I always enjoy your beautiful florals. Fanna Turano Denver, CO
Thank you for this video, Harriet. I just had a go and the second one turned out quite a reasonably. My back pain stops me from practising very much unfortunately. And I've now got one of your books. I've put it away for my birthday 😀
I soooo look forward to your videos! Last video before the patreon was sooo much better in terms of closeups! Merci beaucoup for taking the feedbacks seriously. One of the best teachers & my favorite on UA-cam besides Mr. Paul Clark & Emma Jane Lefebvre. Request to paint lotuses, water lilies & maybe your take on passiflora or passion flowers as there are over 20 varieties of them! God bless you Harriet!
this is great. ive tried to follow other peony tutorials but make a mess lol. your easy to follow 5 tips make it look so easy, i will be trying this today. BTW i love your tutorials and have learnt so much from you. thankyou for sharing your knowledge and skills with us, you are so easy to follow with your no stress approach
Beautiful - I love your “controlled” loose style which has such lovely results. I am definitely going to try this - I haven’t had too much success with this style previously but the anchor sketch is such a great tip. Thank you so much for sharing 👏😁👩🎨
Thank you so much for this! I must be honest, I have been struggling recently with painting nice peonies, even after following the instructions in your book. I will watch this this weekend, I am sure it will be helpful! Thanks!!
The peony is still elusive to me. I appreciate having this stroke by stroke tutorial until I find my own sense and feel for the piece. Thank you for sharing.
Your tutorials have helped me tremendously. I can't thank you enough for sharing your talent with us! I also can't wait to receive your book-I ordered it a few days ago!
I guess im asking randomly but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Briggs Jefferson i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Can’t wait for the Peony tutorial, I have struggled with this flower and the many other tutorials I’ve tried to follow for Peonies. They always look lopsided or just wrong somehow. In the meantime I will give this a go tonight when hubby is watching the football and I can paint uninterrupted. Thanks for the great tips. Lovely Peony!
Your 5 tips were so helpful to get me started on my first peonies. Anchoring and starting pale were the best!! Thank you so much. I’m enjoying your videos and instagram! Did you mention a book? I have to look for it!
So many things I love about your lovely tutorials. I like that you are methodical, so we know where we are going - how to draw the flower, and how to mix the colors. I like that you bring us from general to the details that make the flower pop at the end. Thank you for talking to us as we go through the video, and thank you for the background sound that has the sense of intensity that we feel as we concentrate on the project. Is your new book going to be available in the US soon?
You are so welcome! Thank you Anna. Yes I'm sure the new book will be available in the US. At the moment the only info I have is the pre order on Amazon www.amazon.co.uk/Birds-Bees-Blossoms-Step-Step/dp/178157832X
This is absolutely lovely! Could you possibly do a similar technique but for a poppy? Poppies are my goal. Thank you. I just adore your videos. Cheers!
Another fab tutorial thank you. I hope you don't mind me pointing out that your Patreon subscribers are your 'patrons' not your patreons😉 Looking forward to trying this peony
Confused Pedantic Aspie here. That large brush looks a lot more like a pointed round brush than either a mop brush or a rounded point brush (whatever that is). 😉
Thanks for your comment, always good to have details people on hand., it is a rounded point brush from the connoisseur range but it acts like a mop for the purpose of this job. I am self taught and have to be true to how I find using the materials. I give the details of the brush in the episode notes.
Hi Jennifer thanks for your message. Just watch my ‘join my patreon community’ video and you’ll get all the info you need. There is a link to join up in the episode notes of that video
This tutorial helps me so much. I love how you break down the peony and anchoring the petals. A light bulb went on, that ah ha moment.
So glad I helped

I'll consider it. My Patreons get to choose up to four subjects a month for my youtube tutorials if you have more requests in future.
Another lovely flower. I have had a look at brush link, can't work out which is the really large one you have used?
Ignore I have just seen someone else asked the same question. Note to self- read comments first!
no worries but here is a direct link www.artsupplies.co.uk/brushes-series-100-connoisseur-brush-round.htm
