A Peony in Oils (and a Peek Inside My Studio)🎨


Hello Fellow Artists!

🌸 I’ve got some good stuff for you today! My oil painting of the peony below taught me more than I expected—and I’m excited to share it with you!

I created two ways you can step inside the studio with me:

• A peony infographic (with a downloadable reference photo)
• A video tutorial where I share my four key takeaways, along with some of the tools and surfaces I’ve been experimenting with.

👉 You’ll also see the part of the painting as it comes together—especially in those soft petal details that make peonies so rewarding to paint.

I’ve made the free peony infographic available for you here:

The video tutorial (available to members) who want to dive deeper:

This is a new direction for me, and I’m really enjoying where it’s going.
I’m glad you’re here to see it unfold!

Thank you for being here, fellow artist. It truly means a lot. 🙏

Cheers and happy painting!
Molly 🌻

P.S. This peony is part of my newer oil painting work—if you're ever interested in collecting one of my originals, feel free to visit my website or reply and let me know-I’m happy to share what’s available.

Mollys Fine Art Oil Painting Tutorial

White Roses in Oils, I had lots of fun experimenting with the background! Hello Fellow Artists! Something has been quietly growing in my studio these past few weeks. 🖌️ It’s sitting right next to my watercolor palette… but slowly taking over...it's oil paints! When I was a teenager, I had the best art instructor. I had never painted before—just drawing and a bit of pastels. But my instructor didn’t care, he threw me right into oils! He even took us out into the parking lot to paint the back...

"April Showers" Mollys Fine Art Watercolor Tutorial

"April Showers" Molly's Fine Art. My largest painting yet! Hello Fellow Artist! Yay! I just finished the largest watercolor I’ve ever painted! And I almost didn't finish it. 😳 For months, it was sitting on a chair, out of the way of the main part of my studio, halfway finished. And when I would see it, I would say to myself, "someday..." Then, thankfully, there was a call for art at my local art gallery, the theme was Spring. I glanced at the half-finished painting that had been waiting...
