Sunflowers -Four Ways

On my SketchingEveryday blog, I just posted two contour drawings I did of a couple of my favorite flowers, sunflowers and hydrangea.

I decided to do four watercolor paintings, from the same drawing, in different techniques.

Painting #1 -

The first sunflower is done with transparent watercolor over a drawing done in black Prismacolor pencil.

Painting #2 -

This second painting was done directly on damp paper with no preliminary pencil sketch.

More paintings to come!
