Thank you, Jeanine! In general, I have a lot of videos (see the videos category of the blog https://www.peonyandparakeet.com/category/videos/) and online classes with more comprehensive videos (https://www.peonyandparakeet.com/shop/)

I often make a quick stroke first and then make it more finished with very slow and thoughtful adjustments. In many classes, I talk about how I have practiced my strokes!

Hi Paivi,
Thanks for the free advice. I enjoy the theory behind your artwork as much as the paintings. Inspiring!

This looks like so much fun. I am working at the moment so I didn’t read every word but I will later. You know what I would like to see? Perhaps it already exists or maybe it’s something you hold close to the vest….blah blah anyway, I would love to see you painting in action. To see how you get those beautiful, unique strokes. I am picturing how it’s done and I’ll definitely give it a try. I love that you love nature so much I do too and I need to get out there and boost my motivation and creativity. I appreciate you showing us your work and suggestions I will definitely try. Have a great day sweetie. Love your puppy too!!
