Thanks Arty and Kay.

This is beautiful, Deborah. On the wall, it would really brighten the room. I find oil pastels difficult and end up with muddy colours. Very well done.

 

[ColorEnthusiast]

Wonderful. Well done.

 

[Trier]

Yes, beautiful and well done Deborah !
If it is not too much trouble, I would like to ask how you made the fine black lines in the petals and the fine white lines in the center ?

 

[Terri]

Beautiful, Deborah! I'm a total sucker for sunflowers - my favorite flower! I love this being painted on black paper. Yay!

 

[Jo Castillo]

Very festive and fun. I'm smiling.

I did this a while back. I will try to tell you how I did it. Hope it makes sense. The lines on the petals are actually brown and the white in the center is a really light yellow. I just looked for a spot on my stick where it had a point worn in it.

Me too. I have done at least 7 sunflower paintings and have saved references to do a lot more. They are just such happy and cheerful flowers.

Thanks Penny, Esther, Trier, Terri, and Jo.

This is beautiful, and I'm impressed with the fine lines you got. Is this sanded pastel paper?
