I love sunflowers – their beauty, their structure, their variety. I especially love the challenge of painting them. Trying to find separation and structure in a mass of yellow. And strangely enough I have also always been enamored with sprouting onions. There is just something special about seeing the slender green fingers of new growth poking out from the slowly collapsing sphere. So, when three of our onions sprouted I decided to put them in a painting with a vase of sunflowers. Here is the initial sketch and the refined sketch for the forthcoming watercolor, “Sprouts with Sunflowers.”
The next step is to transfer the sketch to the watercolor paper and try not to mess things up with paint.
