Kinky Sunflower

12x9 watercolor over ink line (Micron 01 pen) on Strathmore 140 lb cold press paper in mixed media journal done over the past weekend.  Deciding on a warm color scheme I used the following exercise where you choose a color then paint three shapes with it of small, medium, and large using the paint color only once.  Mix some together if you have to and you can use 1-2 cool accents.  I did not include any patterning using a gold felt tip marker (for warm themed work, silver for cool) but might add later.  There were more yellows, golds, oranges and reds in the paint drawer than I thought I had.  Inspiration photo and initial ink sketch are below.
