Sunflower

Artist Joanne Boon Thomas has a really nice video on U Tube on painting a sunflower in watercolor.  Mine didn't turn out 100 percent, but I am happy with my first attempt.  Watercolors are tricky.  They can dry out, run into an area you don't want, bloom in unexpected ways and make mud just to name a few.  It was scary and fun at the same time, but a good lesson on negative painting.  I am going to try again and see if I can improve on my technique.
