I’m still fired up about sunflowers, and trying to improve. This work was based off the image by Nadine Doerlé from Pixabay.

I did the background is dioxazine purple, a complementary of the yellow. (I think I’m better at drawing out the sunflower than painting it!)

Step 1 – draw out the flower; Step 2 – paint the background

Then I painted the flower petals and the center.

And, last steps.
