Throughout her career, Peyton utilized a variety of different mediums, tools and techniques. Despite her colorful oil and watercolor based painting being the most well known of her work, she initially started her career with charcoal and ink drawings. However, it is when she began using oils, watercolor and glazes that she explores and develops a strong color palette, something she would be well recognized for.
