1. Why Choose Peony Coloring Pages?
So what is it about peonies that they obsess us to color and re-color? I love these flowers so much as I think they represent a great balance between beauty and meaning.
First, peonies have special meanings. For a very long time, these blooms have been symbols of love, of being pleasant and of good things happening to nice people. Coloring a picture of a peony isn’t just fun. It’s a chance to think about these happy thoughts as you add them to your colors.
Second, the unique outline of a peony flower makes it an excellent flower to draw. The large, full petals provide ample room to experiment with colors and shadows. This is good for little kids who are just learning to color and also good for adults who are good at art. The way in which the petals curl over each other is an excellent way to practice making your drawing look real.
Coloring these pages is a good way to soothe all that, in the end. We’re often too busy and rushed to have quiet in our lives. I used to think being creative had to be hard, but just coloring can make you feel very peaceful.” Focusing on the nice floral designs of a peony may help a busy mind feel calm and happy.

3. How to Color a Peony Beautifully
Coloring is easy, but with some quick tips on how to color a peony you can elevate your art to the next level.
Best Colors for Peonies
Peonies have so many nice colors. The most common color is pale pink, but they come in vivid reds, clear whites and sunny yellows.
Peony meaning and color: Peony meaning is striking, and it’s not just because of its symbolism. Pink can stand for love, red can stand for being respectful, and white can stand for being pure. Don’t be afraid to use a few different varieties of the same color to give your flower a more real look.
Tips on Shading Petals
This is the key to your flower not looking flat but instead as if it’s jutting out of the page. I would color each single petal exactly one color and it never looked right. The key is to use a darker shade at the center of the flower and wherever one petal crosses over another.
Then, apply a lighter colour to the outer edges of the petals. That combination will make it really look pretty and real life.
Adding a Background
A simple background can make your peony really pop. You don’t have to draw a whole garden. Just adding some green leaves around the flower can make a big difference. You could also color the background with a soft, plain color that looks nice with the color of your flower.
Art Tools
The things you use to color can change how your picture looks. Colored pencils are great for mixing colors and adding small parts. Markers will give you bright, bold colors that really stand out. For a soft, dreamy look, you could even try using watercolors on a thicker piece of paper.
