Sunflower II

[mafief]

Second attempt at painting sunflowers with watercolors.


Inspiration:


Start:


I had a hard time finding the right tone for the orange in the center, but I got it!


I learned a lot about color perception and ended up using PowerPoint to help decipher colors. That and internet tutorials were helpful to figure out how to shade the petals.




Now with a background! I'm much happier with this technique compared to the other one I did.


So that was fun :). Now I need to think of something else to paint.

That is absolutely beautiful ^___^ I am just blown away by how technically proficient you've become. Will you be taking your skills into the fandom world? ^__^

I’ve been thinking about doing something fandom-thingies.
I’m not sure I can paint people without making them look like aliens, but that might work if I’m going for an AU. ;)

If you have any suggestions/inspiration for still life stuff (even anthropomorphic things), I’d be interested. Brainstorming is helpful. :)
