Peonies in a round vase

Three peony blooms open above a rounded vase. Their nested petals give you room to build a soft color from the center outward, with a plain vase to balance the detail.

How much detail?

Many layered petals and overlapping leaves call for a sharpened pencil. About the labels.

Try this palette: Layered pinks

Start with pale pink petals and deepen only the petals nearest each flower center.

A small coloring tip

Use a sharp pink pencil near the flower centers and a softer, wider stroke on the outer petals.

Design a simple band or monogram on the empty vase after coloring the flowers.
