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.

Thank you :) I have no idea how to frame it, and that’ll be another day’s mission.
I also like seeing how something was made, so I’m glad you like that part.
