This is my second attempt at capturing peonies – it’s not finished yet – have to do the colored pencil detail on the leaves and more detailed shading on the flowers which I find very challenging. Any suggestions? Should I add green leaves behind the main white flower to set them ff the white? I am afraid of getting a dirty look if I shade too heavily but maybe I’m using the wrong grey. I did a watercolor shading first and just started going into to define the leaves more with grey. Suggestions welcome!
