Sunflower Time

8.5x5.5 watercolor and ink line on Masters paper done last week while working on Sketchbook Skool assignments.  After a line drawing was done using Micron 01 pen I added the word 'sunflower' around the composition, then loosely splashed various warm golds and ochres across its face.  Cools were put in next and no form was followed.  I could go back with a darker color and do the background to make the flower stand out for a different look.

Dear Kay - this is so neat...very cheerful and such a cool idea about writing sunflower around it! Thank you so much for sharing. Now I am going back and look through some of the other posts I have missed since I last stopped by. Have a wonderful week.
