My ArtVenture: Watercolor painting "Sunflowers"

almost 5 years ago (Edited)

Hello dear Steemians,

Today I wanted to share my watercolor experiment of my favorite flower to pain sunflowers. I was always fascinated with them, as child I remember we were climbing to our neighbour's garden and picking up one of htose flower heads full of sunflower seeds that we loved to eat. Now I think the neighbour knew about it because when he saw us on and off on the street he always asked if we want some sunflower seeds :)

"Sunflowers" by @Stef1

The challenging thing in painting of sunflowers were many petals and of course it depends where they are turned to to light or shadow. I do not think it came up how I wanted but as always I am I do not like to destroy my works and will keep it even if te result is not what I expected, I think I will give a little time and try again.

So here it is my watercolor work.

My step-by-step process:

The finished painting:

You did an amazing work with the sunflowers Stef:) I have memories too as a child eating the seeds straight from the plant:) Sunflowers are so unique, turning their big heads always towards the sun.

I love the bouquet of sunflowers and how it looks yellow and red, the background I like a lot and how you made the table and the shade.
Wonderful work dear Stef.
