Painting White Peonies in Watercolor

I've been working on a new flower form (new for me, at least) and working a lot with white peonies.

There are two essential ways to paint white flowers - using tiny bits of grey for the flower details and adding a dark background to designate where the flower falls, or using shades of greys and pale neutrals to create the optic of white flowers (because white flowers aren't 100% white).

I'll be using the latter technique to create white peonies with watercolor. I hope these tips for watercolor painting as well as showing you a small example of what's it's like being a working artist and will be useful to you.
