Another sunflower for today! This time, I put the color down wet-into-wet and pushed it around with a palette (or, rather, painting) knife to create the petals. This is one of the most recent paintings done as a demo for my adult watercolor painting students. I also started teaching middle/high school age kids. Still trying to figure out how much I like doing it. On one hand, the kids need much less directing and teaching than adults do - they generally have more confidence in their artistic abilities - on the other hand, they are often less motivated and definitely less serious about this whole traditional art business...
