Double White Peony

Deborah Trent, 2021 · Watercolor / Pen on paper

A lovely peony by my front garden walk. This plant moved with me to my new home—a cherished transplant from my mother’s garden.

Inspiration

I love the simple, unfolding softness of peony petals. If only I could paint their wonderful fragrance.

Artistic Process

I painted the flower first, then outlined the petals and leaves with a pen.

  • Brushes & Tools: Round 2, Micron Black 0.5 pen.
  • Paints: Titanium White, Hansa Yellow, Sap Green, Joseph Z’s Warm Grey.

Reflections

I kept this bloom loose and open, with flowing, sketch-like lines.
