Sunflower 10: Playing with Yellows

Some time back I had painted this 6×6 canvas panel with cerulean blue, so today I used that for my sunflower. The petals are layered with cadmium-free orange as the base (although it looks like yellow ochre now that it’s painted on the blue). Then I mixed azo yellow with some yellow ochre. Finally, the top layer is cadmium-free yellow. The center is burnt umber light, with some yellow ochre, and then purple and yellow denoting the seeds.
