SUNFLOWER GLOW & Analogous Colors

SUNFLOWER GLOW
Watercolor - 11x14

Analogous colors are colors that are next to each other on the color wheel. Using an analogous color scheme will create painting that is rich in color harmony.

For Sunflower Glow I picked orange as my starting shade and then used the colors on either side from the color wheel - yellow/orange and red/orange. I decided that mauve would be my dark since it is also in the same color family.  I also stamped on some criss cross lines for texture and the word 'sunflower' for added fun.
