JOY - Creative Challenge - Be Spontaneous

JOY
Watercolor - 15x22

The Creative Challenge this week was to be more spontaneous with my artwork. For Joy, I began with wet paper and applied different shades of yellows and oranges for the sunflowers with some blue in the background. I let the paint run freely to create more organic shapes and then placed plastic wrap on the wet paint to create interesting textures.

When the paint was dry I removed the plastic and began using negative painting to further define the sunflower petals. I also used corrugated cardboard to stamp in criss cross lines here and there.
