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. The step-by-step is fun. It gave me a chance to step back and plan how I’d paint the next part.
