Sunflower Fun was one of my demo paintings for my Watercolor on Yupo Workshop last month. I used oil pastels on the slick yupo paper for line work that would resist the watercolor and then painted in bright, bold colors for the sunflower, leaves and background.

I used plastic wrap on the wet paint to create the fun texture in the background. When everything was dry I came in with darks to pull out and define the sunflowers.

You can see all the fun colors and texture created in this detail - painting on yupo paper keeps the colors bright and bold and provides a wealth of creative fun!
