SUNFLOWER FUN
Watercolor on Yupo - 11x17
I love to use my watercolors in unexpected ways and see creative magic happens. No other medium is as spontaneous and unpredictable as watercolor. For Sunflower Fun I used my watercolor paints on yupo paper which has a slick surface, allowing the colors to stay bright and pure.
I used oil pastel to draw in the sunflowers and then applied color freely to the yupo paper, letting everything mix and mingle as it wanted to. Not trying to control the outcome.
It can be scary to step outside of your creative comfort zone and risk failure but you will definitely grow as an artist, learn new techniques and come away with unexpected and unique results!
